Indeed. But how about this?

there is something sublime about that still. i mean, you're never in doubt that gabin will be able to resist bardot, but at the same time... those legs!

What I find delicious in that scene is that, while Gabin may be able to resist her, I know I would not.

Will felicity and bnw go with me to see the films that are showing on Monday? If I work on Sunday, can I leave early on Monday?

― youn, Saturday, 11 February 2006 23:08 (twenty years ago)

I'm definitely seeing the Garrel on Monday.

― C0L1N B... (C0L1N B...), Saturday, 11 February 2006 23:58 (twenty years ago)

I think I will, too. There's a train that leaves at 3:5X pm. I will make up the time tomorrow.

― youn, Sunday, 12 February 2006 05:20 (twenty years ago)

search these 2 curiosities made by frenchies in HWood:
MODEL SHOP - anouk is beyond gorgeous (film is so-so, but Anouk!)
OUTSIDE MAN(more than decent hitman thingy - and Ann-Margret is almost as hot as Anouk!)

― phil n. ophuls, Sunday, 12 February 2006 06:51 (twenty years ago)

Of course I was too lame to go.

― youn, Tuesday, 14 February 2006 02:28 (twenty years ago)

ohmygosh, I just realized Garrel is the director of Regular Lovers!! I am soooo LAME!!

― youn, Friday, 17 February 2006 02:40 (twenty years ago)

i saw a garrel film a few weeks ago which i didn't "get": la révelateur. it was completely silent, and seemed to be a kind of "adaptation" of various lacanian psychoanalytic theories. some of it was undeniably quite striking and beautiful and authentically strange. but it began to feel oppressive and arbitrary after awhile. i had the same thought when watching his very early le lit et la vierge a bunch of years back at the harvard film archive. the only garrel film i've seen that i really liked a whole bunch was j'entends plus de la guitarre. partly because i really like that title. sounds like a leonard cohen song. i'm sort of curious to see la cicatrice interieure w/nico.

in other news a french film from the last year or two which is really good is l'esquive -- i think games of love and chance (ugh) is what the us distributor is calling it.

i wish i could get into that vein of confrontational, sexually explicit french cinema whose exemplary figure is breillat. there's a new film--forgot the title--w/isild le besco and denis levant which sounds interesting but i'd probably be too squeamish for it. apparently it has some almost-hardcore scenes which freaks me out because last i recall ms. le besco was the 15-yr-old ingenue in sade and well, denis levant is denis levant. ew.

I saw Haneke's Cache last night. Has anyone seen it, and figured out where the tapes came from after all? I know it's secodary but I'd love to know.

― Jena (JenaP), Friday, 17 February 2006 02:53 (twenty years ago)

l'esquive is getting a wider theatrical release in the US this year, right? i'm really anxious to see it.

― joseph (joseph), Friday, 17 February 2006 05:45 (twenty years ago)

and yeah that americanized title is awful.

― joseph (joseph), Friday, 17 February 2006 05:45 (twenty years ago)

sorry, i mean le lit DE la vierge a.k.a. "the virgin's bed"

i hope l'esquive is getting a wider release, it's really excellent. among other things it provides a strong sense of youth culture in france including the identity politics of french-arabs, french-africans, etc.

jena: there's a whole big thread about caché... just search "haneke"...

― amateurist0, Friday, 17 February 2006 07:41 (twenty years ago)

I am in Lille right now as it happens(school work experience). Here are some French flicks I have enjoyed (or suffered through) during lonely nights watching Channel 4 over the last 10 years....

Search: Smoking/No Smoking - where 2 people realistically play about 15 (and the fact it takes place in "Yorkshire". The plummy "English" announcer between scenes is amusing)
Cible emouvante - I like the wit in this movie. Depardieu's son can act.
Les visiteurs - There must be a cut every 2 seconds in this movie. Very fast paced, hundreds of plot threads, high on comedy.

Destroy: Le Ciel, les oiseaux, et ta mere. It's about 4? teenagers making a film on the beach... offensively bad.
Le huitieme jour - Horrific. Making someone with Down's Syndrome the star of an arthouse flick is not a good idea.

Please tell me what you think. :)

― JTS (JTS), Friday, 17 February 2006 15:49 (twenty years ago)

I sincerely doubt l'Esquive is getting a wide US release; it ran for maybe 2-3 weeks in New York last September and I was lucky to catch it. (It's in my top ten of '05 for sure.)

i wish i could get into that vein of confrontational, sexually explicit french cinema whose exemplary figure is breillat.

I'd say count your blessings.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 18 January 2007 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

yeesh, it's on dvd already here!

I can't believe comedy has been so neglected here, people!

i will be there for the 8 pm showing. i will be wearing a black jacket, grey flannel pants, and cherry red shoes.

― youn (youn), Friday, 19 January 2007 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

I may go to see TheGoodTimesKid at the Anthology Film Archives tonight instead and go to the 1-ish screening of Regular Lovers tomorrow - in the same clothes. Maybe my shoes are actually mulberry red.

― youn (youn), Friday, 19 January 2007 20:49 (nineteen years ago)

Oh Les Tontons Flingueurs is such a great movie. I have seen it so many times I know mots of the great Audiard dialogues by heart. Also, I loved watching this movie with one of my little cousins, who keeps asking me what they are saying 'cos they speak in "argot" (dunno how to translate that.

― Jibé (Jibé), Friday, 19 January 2007 23:27 (nineteen years ago)

"argot" = "slang"

Yeah, I could barely keep up. And there there's no English translation, as far as I know!

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Saturday, 20 January 2007 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

no mention of Buffet Froid yet, which is a shame.
