Will Harvey the K be there?

does he even live in NY? and did he just do one with him?

Thought he lived in the same fancy TriBeCa residence as the Brother McMullen and his model wife.

i am not up on the residences.

Wha?!?

separately or together!

that's about 6 fests starting tomorrow

Sicilian clan has two out of three. Had to think for a second of who spoiled the trifecta.

Also I believe it was Lino Ventura's birthday two days ago. Easy to remember, especially for me.

Saw Le Doulos yesterday, enjoyed it, believe I'll be back for more in this series. Top picks (besides Breathless which I definitely want to catch)?

Gabin:
Pepe Le Moko
Le Jour Se Leve
Port of Shadows

Ventura:
Army of Shadows
Classe Tous Risques

Grand Illusion
Pierrot le Fou
Les Bas Fonds
Touchez-Pas au Grisbi

Yeah, those too

Awesome, thanks, both of you. Just scribbled a bunch of showtimes in my planner. If I manage to get over there for half of those I'll be really pleased with myself.

many of the Melvilles/Renoirs u can watch at home

Oh for sure, I just, I dunno, I mean there's a century of people discussing the special experience of going to the movies and I don't need to relate that (to you especially!), but where I'm at in my life, I really appreciate being made a captive audience to the film. It's just sooooo easy to take a break at home, even when this almost always lowers my enjoyment of the movie in great or small ways. The dollars do add up, but I mean if it's eight bucks for a movie versus a beer with tip, movie remains a pretty good value.

obviously you should see what you can on 35mm (i don't think there are any DCPs in this series).

The trailer they ran for Classe Tous Risques made it seem like an overstuffed mess with a million characters and plot threads, but not necessarily in a bad way, and maybe it all hangs together much more tightly than that. Got me at least somewhat curious.

The plot may not be as complicated confusing as it may seem, since most of those elements occur in sequence and not in parallel. There a lots of great scenes and a relatively rare chance to see Ventura in a lead role- in which he gives an excellent performance - as opposed to a heavy.

midway thru "Mondo" shockudocs at Anthology

Wonder if I should try to see On the Silver Globe this weekend.

i saw the first 40 mins on DVD recently and had to stop. Massively annoying, almost presidential-convention level.

I hated that one they always show on Mubi, Infidelity, but recently finally saw Possession which I liked.

Sorry, Fidelity

I sat thru all of On the Silver Globe in the theater, p sure my brain just shut off entirely halfway thru it (I don't really mean this in any sort of complimentary way)

How does it compare with Hard To Be A God

Okay may try tomorrow, perhaps I will hate as much as you two. Meanwhile, MoMA has at 5PM both Love Affair and Le Plaisir. Can't decide.

I guess I liked On The Silver Globe more than you guys.

So between stomach illness and going to the beach I had to curtail my ambitious "Les Durs" screening schedule, but I wanted to thank James Redd and Morbius again for the recommendations - ended up catching Port of Shadows and Classe Tous Risques, and enjoying both! Will try and catch Breathless in their upcoming two-for-the-price-of-one series...
