Someone have to show the first version of The Informer: http://notesoncinematograph.blogspot.com/2011/08/screening-suggestion.html

The new restored version is not 75 minutes anymore, it's 90 minutes. This is best captured on film Stones concert of the 70s!

"If I were an architect and I had to build a monument to the cinema, I would place a statue of Julien Duvivier above the entrance….This great technician, this rigorist, was a poet." -- Jean Renoir

The most striking moment in this masterpiece was Nazis' meeting with the farmers. Only a master like Powell could show us that fascism is only a concept based on various issues like money, power and public mania. And how fragile is this outward order and discipline! how stupid and savage!

If Someday I arrange a list of the most inapt film directors with a tasteless narrative and cinematic structure, Almodovar will be engaged for the top of this list. How long should we take these boring pretentious commercial products as artistic works?
