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

err, "thinking the same thing"...

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 (seventeen years ago) link
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 (seventeen years ago) link
I just saw Mon Oncle for the first time a few weeks ago. What a treat.
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 21 May 2007 09:24 (seventeen years ago) link
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...
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 21 May 2007 13:59 (seventeen years ago) link
Just saw Army of Shadows -- the pace dawdles, but the last 30 minutes are pretty devastating.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Monday, 21 May 2007 14:19 (seventeen years ago) link
"My American Uncle" ws one of the most intense cinematic experiences. I quite liked nu-Resnais even though I heard someone at the end hating on it--there is no neat, bright ending to it would you believe--comparing it to Mike Leigh :-(
(To be honest I can't remember what Mike Leigh's films are like)
The Lumiere are running a mini-season from one-time Resnais collaborator (and novelist) Alain Robbe-Grillet:

Also really looking forward to Tavernier's "Clean Slate". Been wanting to see that Jim Thomspon adaptation for a while.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 9 September 2007 10:22 (sixteen years ago) link
I really need to see Indigènes I think. It's on Canal Plus in the next couple of days but I'm back home now :(
― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 9 September 2007 12:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Really looking forward to Lions Love next sunday. Always wanted to see one a Varda film.
Has anyone seen Terror's Advocate, the new Barbet Schroeder doc?
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 31 May 2008 15:43 (sixteen years ago) link
I highly recommend In the City of Sylvia, opening today in NYC ... a taste:

I hate how "good looking" the two people at the bar are, but that's an amazing scene
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 12 December 2008 22:03 (fifteen years ago) link
well, the guy esp is a Byronic kinda archetype, but perhaps I was too smitten to mind...

Man, Olivier Assayas should lay off the techno thrillers; Boarding Gate significantly worse than the disposable demonlover.

I was thinking of starting a Philippe Garrel thread just for this (and cuz he deserves one) but for now this will have to do:
Is Garrel the 1st director do to a "radiohead" - ie. he's giving away for download one of his films:

Wow! Thanx for this!
― Kevin John Bozelka, Thursday, 15 January 2009 09:22 (fifteen years ago) link
Finally saw Honore's Love Songs... just OK, mostly cuz the songs aren't so great. Much lusty footage of Louis Garrel tho.

Anyone seen Wild Grass (by Alain Resnais), which got the Cannes nom last year? Its finally getting a selected release over here.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 15 June 2010 11:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Don't know if anything written on ILX has been as OTM as much as Ed's first line here.

on way to Wild Grass if i can do it on 4 hrs' sleep.

falling asleep half way through wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen.

i have a french film from the new wave era which has been replaying in my head for ages and ages but i still dont know the name of it. i think it might have been a short? its about this guy in a trenchcoat and hat whos standing around in a par with a paper (i think) telling lies to girls to pick them up, which he does succesfully. i think he repeats this twice more throughout the film. can anyone ID it? i saw it so long ago but i frequently think of it. its pretty charming and funny.
― titchy (titchyschneiderMk2), Thursday, 29 July 2010 23:52 (thirteen years ago) link
Wild Grass was ok, quite funny towards the end, had a couple of the usualy very frenchy-fied tricks up its sleeve.
Looking forward to catching the NFT run of My Night with Maud next week.
