Sui has been collecting vintage examples of the cheerful prints for years, and this spring Blahnik has created three shoe styles in Marimekko prints. H&M has launched a capsule collection this month featuring the most popular patterns from the 1950s to the 1970s.

The movie was considered exotic because it was filmed in Brazil, but it was written and directed by white Frenchmen. The result was sentimental and, to some modern eyes, patronizing. Years later Obama saw the film with his mother and thought about walking out. But looking at her in the theater, he glimpsed her 16-year-old self. "I suddenly realized," he wrote in his memoir, Dreams from...
