Richard Linklater's Nouvelle Vague is little more than a well-produced "making of" Breathless for cine-maniacs. Breathless endures because of Jean Seberg and that ending. I just learned about and watched Godard's follow-up short film Le Grand Escroc. It's a taste of what a movie focused on Patricia (Seberg) might feel like.

This is an old article but an absolutely wonderful piece on my favorite filmmaker: Agnès Varda. To this day, she is still so inspiring for her brilliant imagery, empathy, wit, daring, and immense curiosity (as well as her championing women in film-making in every role). https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/sep/21/agnes-varda-i-am-still-alive-i-am-still-curious-i-am-not-a-piece-of-rotting-flesh

The Joyful Mythology of “Nouvelle Vague”

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/the-joyful-mythology-of-nouvelle-vague

"Nouvelle Vague is made for those who spend countless hours on the Criterion Channel." My kind of film. I look forward to watching it. I love Richard Linklater's best work. #Film #Cinema #Movies #France #FrenchNewWave #Culture #Entertainment https://www.laweekly.com/review-nouvelle-vague-is-an-ode-to-breathless-thatll-leave-you-breathless/

Corinne Marchand in "Cléo from 5 to 7" (Agnès Varda, 1962)

It was decades since I'd seen this, and I remembered very little about it. Delighted I went back

OCD compels me to spreadsheet, so I crunched some of the greatest films of all time lists. Here are the top 1,461 presented as a daily countdown to the end of the Trump Administration. #Film #Resist #MovieSky #Movies #FrenchNewWave #BookSky #1,460 "Fahrenheit 451" (1966) dir. François Truffaut

Again and again I am reminded that most of my favorite films don't necessarily follow that standard plot structure/screenwriting "rules" promulgated so much these days by the gurus of the "how to write screenplays" cottage industry. I love films where "nothing happens" and where it's all talking or not easy to quickly grasp characters' motivations, etc.

Below: Two screenshots from one of my all time fave films, MY NIGHT AT MAUD'S (1969, d. Eric Rohmer).

I had #France in my #CriterionChannel queue since it hit the service in 2021, and I finally watched it yesterday.

#LéaSeydoux is great in service of a #movie that's a dash of #Cassavetes, a pinch of #VanSant, a dollop of #FrenchNewWave, and likely many more references/homages I missed.

It's a disjointed #film that feels like a musical composition with a central structure that veers off into disparate solos before returning to its core, and has an ending that seems to punish the main character.

Papa's prerogative...

Since today is Father's Day (US), I got to pic the movie and I picked Jean-Luc Godard's 1960 film, BREATHLESS.

Before we started watching I gave a short bit of background and perspective on the film (also Papa's prerogative).

Son - maybe liked it but also fell asleep.
Daughter - liked it.
Wife - liked it.

#FrenchNewWave I don’t need the protagonist to prevail with a happy ending, but Jef Costello is a seasoned professional. His fate just doesn’t make sense. By contrast, in Goddard’s “Breathless” (1960), you just know Jean-Paul Belmondo’s character is living on borrowed time the minute he gets in over his head.

#FrenchNewWave Melville must have really studied Hitchcock because he seems to know exactly how to create the kind of tension, but with silences, that keep audiences at the edge of their seats. It works!

#Cinemastodon Finally watched “Le Samouraï” (1967), a #FrenchNewWave film directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, and starring #AlainDelon as Jef Costello, a professional hitman who takes what appears to be a straightforward job before it unravels into a more complex web of deception. Sure, Jef’s audacious, but he seems to also have a strong survival instinct, which is why the ending really puzzled me. https://archive.org/details/le-samourai-1967

“Though Richard Linklater’s HIT MAN is about to debut in theaters and on Netflix––just after his under-the-radar documentary GOD SAVE TEXAS: HOMETOWN PRISON came to Max––the ever-prolific American was recently in Paris for NOUVELLE VAGUE, his chronicle of the making of Godard’s BREATHLESS….” 📽️ 🎞️ 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 #film #CineMastodon #FrenchNewWave #RichardLinklater #FilmDirectors

I'm thinking I need to do an Antoine Doinel retrospective. Doinel was the famous character played by Jean-Pierre Léaud in five films directed by François Truffaut.

The films:
The 400 Blows (1959)
Antoine and Colette (1962, short)
Stolen Kisses (1968)
Bed and Board (1970)
Love on the Run (1979)

I've seen The 400 Blows several times but not the others (except for part of Stolen Kisses).

Ok, am I the only one who has just heard about Ovid.tv? (Hat tip to Screen Slate.) For Francophiles this service is impressive. Worth subscribing for the French New Wave shorts and the “France Before the New Wave” series alone. The latter has the very-hard-to-find (for me anyway) 1946 Dietrich/Gabin collab MARTIN ROUMAGNAC. Planning to smash that subscribe button shortly… #frenchfilm

3 things about Jean-Luc Godard’s CONTEMPT [1963]

1. Endless sunshine, endless water.
2. “This is not ’33. This is ’63.”
3. Jack Palance’s fuzzy red sweater.
