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.

We are in the Silver Age of French(-language) Film.

― M. V. (M.V.), Saturday, 20 January 2007 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

Beffet Froid felt like a Cohen Brothers movie to me, i.e. lots of great character actors being pushed around by a nonsensical plot for far too long. Any 5-minute slice would make a great short, though.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Saturday, 20 January 2007 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

A reviewer for the New Yorker called Regular Lovers flat, which I think is perfectly accurate. One aspect of its being flat may be in not being psychological or introspective from a dominant narrative point of view. (TheGoodTimesKid was not flat even though, like Regular Lovers, it didn't have lots of dialogue.) Another aspect might be in the flatness of the cinematography -- stage sets not vistas. The Birth of Love (Garrel, 1993) is showing at FIAF on January 30.

~~Beffet~~ Buffet

― youn (youn), Sunday, 21 January 2007 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

It is a very beautiful movie. The graininess of the film made me think of etched marble or stone. Francois was already living in the past.

― youn (youn), Sunday, 21 January 2007 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

oh fuck 'ETRE ET AVOIR'!!! containing one of the greatest moments in film:

"Are you my friend?"

"No!"

*both grin at camera*

― to scour or to pop? (Haberdager), Sunday, 21 January 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

if Regular Lovers is his 'masterpiece,' I can skip the rest. I want to hear the fans say this stuff aloud w/out laughing.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 25 January 2007 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

'La mama et la putain' is at the cine lumiere this sunday (6:45).

― xyzzzz__ (jdesouza), Friday, 9 February 2007 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

I love Pierrot le fou. Someday a decent DVD of it will be released in the US.

i just got it from hong kong. will update.

Anyone who can recommend any of the French stuff in this NYC fest, all as yet unreleased in America... I'm considering "Dans Paris" only for the two actors' lauded fuckability.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 1 March 2007 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

One of the very best:
Jeux Interdits (Forbidden Games)

― Hatch, Thursday, 1 March 2007 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

I liked Regular Lovers well enough, but the only old Garrel film I've seen was much much better. It's called Le Lit De La Vierge, (or The Bed Of The Virgin it's about Jesus and the entire cast was dosed with LSD for the production. It was wonderful and bizarre, I've never seen anything else quite like it. Wish there was a DVD!

― Hatch, Thursday, 1 March 2007 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

gotta be better than those long hash nods in Regular Lovers

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 1 March 2007 20:15 (nineteen years ago)

i heard the page-turner was very "french" and very dud

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 1 March 2007 21:23 (nineteen years ago)

'La Mama and La Putain' ws fantastic.

Onwards to March and its 'Jeanne Dielman..' at the NFT on March 17th at a nice and comfy afternoon slot. Paying 12 quid for it is a bit wrong, so we'll see.

― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 1 March 2007 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

Les Ambitieux et Flandres

― youn, Saturday, 3 March 2007 02:34 (nineteen years ago)

Anyone see "The Outsider"? How is it?

― Capitaine Jay Vee, Saturday, 3 March 2007 09:51 (nineteen years ago)

People are going to hate me for this, but I really, really loathe Jules and Jim. Destroy it.

― Dan I., Saturday, 3 March 2007 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

Bruno Dumont is an ass

― Dr Morbius, Saturday, 3 March 2007 18:48 (nineteen years ago)

La vie de Jesus is quite watchable.. and I thought L'humanite was.. something! I don't know what, it was truly bizarre. I like that.

Jeanne Diehlmann is very worthwhile too.. yes, slow moving, but it's amazing how common household objects become really loaded.. and I like Ackerman's style, how she doesn't explain.. her Proust adaptation La Captive is superb

― daria-g, Sunday, 4 March 2007 03:11 (nineteen years ago)

Of that festival I don't know much about any of them but I would see La Faute à Fidel, that looks interesting and for something superfrancais I would see Prête-moi ta main because Charlotte Gainsbourg is in it and she's awesome

― daria-g, Sunday, 4 March 2007 03:15 (nineteen years ago)

Wow, US critics goin nuts for the new Alain Resnais.

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 13 April 2007 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

I wanna see "Muriel"! Then every Resnais ever.

― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 April 2007 10:18 (nineteen years ago)

i just got 'muriel' on teh dvd.

― That one guy that quit, Saturday, 14 April 2007 10:19 (nineteen years ago)

*google* I only see 'muriel' as a region 1.

― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 April 2007 10:31 (nineteen years ago)

pas de problem -- most uk dvd players are easily hacked just by entering a code into the remote control.

that said another dvd i just ordered from the US i had to pay friggin' import duty on. not 'muriel' though.

― That one guy that quit, Saturday, 14 April 2007 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

Ridicule was excellent...

we also rented Motel Hell. Motel Hell was better.

The underground classic Mohel Hell, even better.

― Bob Six, Saturday, 14 April 2007 10:58 (nineteen years ago)

Celine et Julie vont en bateau - the greatest film ever!

― youn, Saturday, 14 April 2007 16:27 (nineteen years ago)

Just saw "Journal d'un cure de campagne." How did Bresson manage to cast Johnny Cash?

― Frogman Henry, Saturday, 14 April 2007 16:32 (nineteen years ago)

"most uk dvd players are easily hacked just by entering a code into the remote control."

A magical mysterious code! :-)

(Oh and I did watch "Jeanne Dielman" -- great, grebt, etc.)

― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 14 April 2007 16:35 (nineteen years ago)

Finally saw 'Lucie Aubrac'. Man, is Bouquet still hot.

― Michael White, Saturday, 14 April 2007 17:04 (nineteen years ago)

-- Frogman Henry, Saturday, 14 April 2007 16:32

Hahaha! I couldn't stop thinking the same thinking first time I watched it. And it was Johnny in his early speed-freak days, too! Spittin' image.

― Capitaine Jay Vee, Monday, 21 May 2007 02:05 (nineteen years ago)

err, "thinking the same thing"...

― Capitaine Jay Vee, Monday, 21 May 2007 02:06 (nineteen years ago)

will anyone ever release Malle's 'The Fire Within' (Feu Follet) on DVD? i consider my favorite movie i've never seen.

― poortheatre, Monday, 21 May 2007 05:52 (nineteen years ago)

wait - it's already on DVD with English subs - part of the Louis Malle collection V.1 put out by Optimum earlier this year...

― Jeff LeVine, Monday, 21 May 2007 06:35 (nineteen years ago)

I just saw Mon Oncle for the first time a few weeks ago. What a treat.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 21 May 2007 09:24 (nineteen years ago)

the new Resnais is OK except for the script, ie Alan Ayckbourn.

No way am I seeing the new Bruno Dumont, but love the headline of Nathan Lee's bitchslap...
