And that is exactly why New Wave french cinema is the fucking best.

I love it.

I've just finished watching;

1. My Neighbour Totoro - animated flick by Hayou Miyazaki

2. The Birds - Hitchcock.

I love me films... so I'm serious about loving new wave.

I'm very very pretentious.

Did I spell pretentious right?

Fuck, I don't know... or care.

Good post btw

And did you watch 'To Have and Have not' this afternoon?
Did you fuck.
Lauren Bacall is up there in the Patti Smith, P J Harvey, Jade Goody stakes. She transcends them all.

Herge Smith said...

Seen it loads already.

I'm more a maltese falcon man, although you're spot on with Becall - fox fox fox.

I think maybe you've gone a step far with Goody!! No one transends a Jade.

Mind you, I do go a bundle for a bit of Tippi Hedren.

Time was, every Saturday night you'd be able to watch a French film just like that on BBC 2 - no more. The only foreign movies you see now are on BBC4 and they all seem to be about Bosnian goat-herders. Another indication that UK telly has lost the plot. It's a great loss, culturally-speaking.

That's right Wyndham! Even I watched a few "European" films on a Saturday night when I was too poor (or too hungover) to go clubbing. Jules et Jim (as in D-Jim) and that Ingmar Bergman thing with the knight playing chess on a rock are a couple that I can remember. Fuck, I'm CRAP at films.

I used to go to an independent cinema in Bristol. They used to show lots of art house films.
It was quite strange, you had to walk through a Chinese restaurant to get to the foyer.
It was a total fire hazard. It's probably closed now.

Films in Bristol: sounds like a fun adventure!
