Last three days of The Leopard

no, Visconti didn't film the chapter where he dies.

You got me that time.

headed for 2:30 Leopard if anyone (incl me) can make it.

Shooting for 8

Did you make it?

yes. packed with snow casualties. I was even gonna stay for Eisenstein but wanted to get the curb-jumping over with.

Wasn't too crowded-or too snowy at 8- although I did have to sit in front of a bickering old couple.

Anyway, glad I made it there, and will be back for Fritz Land and Cluny Brown.

you'd hate scenes from a marriage
xp

Fritz Land would be a grim theme park.

Did bickering old couple go "You cross yourself before every embrace! I've never seen your navel!"

Haha, no, not those exact words.

Also haha at description of "Fritz Land"

yes, go! my grad colleague is co-curating it, really wish i could go

haven't been able to make a single one of the Soviet actions films @ Reade yet, of course. Aiming for 7:10 tonight.

tix still available for Deneuve introducing Repulsion at BAM tonight.

Seriously? Are you going?

no idea yet. perhaps not.

I checked and it seems you can't buy the tix online.

First time I ever saw Repulsion was a 3 a.m. showing on TV about 30 years ago. Creeped me out tremendously.

VP, it appears you can, here:

also, not til 9:40. sleepy sleepy sleepy

Yeah, that's kind of late to be stuck in Brooklyn watching Repulsion, but Catherine Deneuve!

Could just hang out in the lobby and wait for her to walk to the car at 9:45!

Thieves & Genealogies of a Crime are both super, btw

Seriously, don't encourage me, because I would do that!

Manuel DeLanda at Anthology all weekend. Bummed I can't make it. Raw Nerves really blew me away -- it's concerns are familiar, but I've never seen anything else quite like it -- and these are hard to see. Good weekend at MMI too: Great batch of Resnais' and the David Perlov diaries.

I saw Muriel last week--it was quite boring. Going to try to catch Providence with Dirk Bogarde.

Muriel, boring?

seconding 'raw nerves', it's a blast

iirc it was his senior thesis film at SVA?

I liked Muriel. plz tell me Providence is not this weekend? ive been wanting to see it for 30+ years.

Not this weekend: don't worry. In a couple of weeks.

Which Resnais should I see this weekend? Is "I Want to Go Home" good? Other choices: Je T'aime, Je T'aime (seen it), Stavisky, Far From Vietnam, Not on the Lips.

I didnt care for Not on the Lips, otherwise unable to help.

off topic, but i'm working on the assumption that this thread is a honey-trap for film fans on ILX:

which raul ruiz should i see, first, availability pending? i think i have access to three crowns of a sailor. fwiw, i'd maybe be inflicting it on some others, too, so something vaguely enjoyable or interesting would be a plus.

it'd be nice to have a general film thread for general film geeking right now. i'm all full of enthusiasm for archipelago, & need to find counsel on where to go from here with eugene green films; don't know that there's a rolling arthouse thread, or whether one's worthwhile.

I'll let snobbier film snobs answer the above. Just wanted to say that over the weekend I saw "Mon Oncle d'Amerique" -- super amusing.

Don't think Three Crowns is really the one to see, sorry. Hypothesis of the Stolen Painting or On Top of the Whale maybe.

tons of his I haven't seen, but my faves from the '90s are Genealogies of a Crime, Three Lives and Only One Death, and the Proust movie.

Yeah I start with "Time Regained" then " Three Lives..." Then track down "Combat D'amour en songe " (sic) which is stellar.

has anybody been to this Indie Screen theater on Kent Ave in W'burg? It's the only place Cold Weather is showing now.

Five Japanese Divas series starts tomorrow at FF.

Good series. Mother and Repastare among Naruse's best, iirc.
