There are still people who need sympathetic characters. I just bumped off Rosenbaum...

Had a hard time. Not really struck by anything. Don't feel I saw anything new beyond the progression of his essay form. Loved JLG/JLG as a film whose ideas are more constant throughout than the external action and 'plot' (Essay/Portrait). Interested in this stuff, but I only see the banalities I already knew. Not as in love with the images as everyone else (except for the coffee and Juliet Berto of course).

I love movies about unsympathetic shitheads. Why?

Incredible editing and juxtapositions. Much to learn from this film. One day; a birth, a death; a marriage, a separation; work, play; the cinema.

Where the hell can this be seen? Especially interested in the interview with the amateur filmmaker.

Godard's worst that I've seen. Even his way of presenting these non-ideas is incredibly boring. It felt lazy. The long take of the woman's bush was uncomfortable but I'm a pervert so I liked it. And those damn kids making posters and writing the Mao song is unbearable. It succeeds in presenting the pretentious shallowness of children that got confused during the 60s, Godard included. But it was a necessary failure.

Is there a better cinematic composer?

Bresson is the best. This was my introduction, and I was overwhelmed. I immediately understood him and his form. Endless epiphanies. He makes more sense than anybody. Favourite filmmaker, and favourite film. Amazing that he's overlooked even among film fans. They're not ready to give up the unnecessary spectacle of most films.

Yes, Lilith needs a page. Also my favourite of her's.

I really wish there were more films that took an entire day to watch. Making it an even bigger event. Criterion needs to release this.

Very cool guy. A true cinephile.

He wrote Breathless, or had some hand in creating the story.

We need more people like Godard.
