last night’s short

truffaut’s ANTOINE ET COLLETTE

hilarious (sad) followup to the 400 blows. antoine is now 17 and working at a record factory, meets & woos a girl. LOL.

last night’s feature:

some dude i cant recall his name’s john irvin? A MONTH BY THE LAKE

this being summer picked it by title alone and it’s a pretty basic romcom about old english people in italy on the eve of world war 2. not much to write home about, but vanessa redgrave was great in it. and beautiful settings. otherwise whatevs. yes there is an old chicken looking man and uma plays the american idiot—ugh. not sure it deserves a criterion edition, but ebert gave it a 3.5/4, whatever. my wife’s verdict: “feels like a hallmark movie”, and i agree. ok, a little better, but still hallmarky and kind of absurd considering.

today’s lunchtime short:

jean vigo’s A PROPOS DE NICE (1930)

like man with the movie camera without the commie bullshit. voyeuristic, joyous, hilarious, and anarchic to the point of featuring out of focus shots ha ha ha— feels like a student film and probably was, but a very fortunate one at that. lots of fun for the gluttonous eye. the music is from a 2001 reissue and it’s great!
