Anyone seen the new one that's going to be at the NYFF? Being called his last in the fest blurb.

Shit I hadn't heard this. I guess at age 87 it might be time to let go.

That's too bad, but I guess he's up there age-wise. It's a ridiculous proposition, but when people ask me who my favorite director is, it's always a toss-up between Rohmer and Bunuel. There's something appealing to me about his ethical depth and quiet, personal storytelling style. Also, I love his total lack of flash when compared to his contemporaries.

Oh, I haven't seen the Chris Rock remake of Chloe in the Afternoon. I'm afraid to mostly because no crazy electronic score means no Chloe in the Afternoon.

Hah yeah - that title sequence of 'Chloe'...

Never thought "if only real people spoke more like people in movies" more than when I watched one of his films.

Actually, I made the mistake of thinking real French people DID talk like that, and bought a very expensive plane ticket to find out they talked more like the worst moments of Diva.

I remember Tarantino saying in the mid 90s he wanted to do a pseudo-Rohmer film, let's hope to God that never happens

grrrrrr! yes, his best films are like the Before movies if they had a non-punchable man in them.

"What I say, I do not say with words. I do not say it with images, either, with all due respect to partisans of pure cinema, who would speak with images as a deaf-mute does with his hands. After all, I do not say, I show. I show people who move and speak. That is all I know how to do, but that is my true subject. The rest, I agree, is literature."

Don't know if I told you this before but before the first Before was made, there was some talk in Austin that the lead was going to be David Thewlis.

Not to play into the hands of the history mayne, but thinking about it, his kind of clean "non-cinematic" visual style reminds me of that of his, um, co-religionist Luis Buñuel.

Have a soft spot for Chloe in the Afternoon because we saw that in intro French. Love that part about how he has a different book to read on the bus or on the train or on the park bench or whatever the breakdown was.

Argh, I got rid of that book during a move.
I had a friend who is a DP who complained about the information provided therein, but now I see from those excerpts that maybe it was more about a cinematographer talking about the great directors with whom he worked rather than giving away trade secrets.
