About Me

I’m an English-to-French translator who loves movies. I discovered the films of Jacques Tati and François Truffaut when I was 16, and to this day, I can watch their movies again and again without getting tired of it.

I’m currently a collaborator of the online radio show Cinémaniax.net (cinemaniax.net) and of the DVD review site Le coin du DVD (coindudvd.com), both in French.

Un-chien-andalou

Un chien andalou

To me, it's always a weird experience whenever I see this film, since Pierre Batcheff, the main actor in Un chien andalou, is a dead-ringer for my first boyfriend. Imagine my shock when I first saw it, during film history class in college!

I'm so happy to see that Criterion is heavily hinting at a release of the Three Colors trilogy! I saw Blue when it originally came out. I'm glad I waited instead of getting a lower-quality DVD copy of the trilogy.

Am currently watching the documentary American Cinema, which I taped off PBS when it originally aired in 1995. What a great series!

Currently reading: Le roman de François Truffaut, published by Les cahiers du cinéma. It's a collection of written and oral testimonies about Truffaut, given by friends and people who have worked with him. It is quite a touching read and gives an idea of Truffaut's work process from insiders' points of view. The only major member of his extended family who did not contribute is Fanny Ardant -- maybe at the time of publication, it was still too painful to talk about him.

Came really close to getting a 3-disc copy of Brazil in Criterion. Unfortunately, it was the 1999 edition instead of the 2006 re-release. :(
