Okay, Zachary, Offside is everything you said and more! Though not a sports fan, I was totally involved and identified completely with the characters. Thank you for pointing me in its direction! Bob
hi there, I have been quite fine, but busy as anything else, since I have got back, it has been sort of weird to have almost no free time. I think Chabrol, is just the right sort of strange, he sort of channels most of the greats but then he has a unique element which I have never seen before. I love his films with isabelle huppert, that is probably my favourite partnership in all of cinema. Have you seen any of their films together? I think Pasolini and Bresson have some similarities if they do not at first jump out, like their national spirits and their yearning to unlock the middle ages in a modern context. Has your pasolini watching been getting any further? and what else have you been watching?
How long have you been a film buff?
Your comments on _Saddest Music in the World_, actually encourage me to more actively try to see another Maddin film; I was not overly impressed with it, and decided to postpone looking for something else by him (I watched his Sparklehorse video and thought it was all right, but a music video is a whole other thing).
