That is what's so exciting about these old films - so much to explore from directors who did not have the bottom line as the driving factor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-3585394223524302962010-07-30T10:30:01.676-04:002010-07-30T10:30:01.676-04:00Mercurie - I thought so too RE: Carlos.

I've only seen two of Godard's film to date and haven't been entirely won over, yet (in terms of personal enjoyment - definitely appreciate his work from a film history sense). But unlike others, I'm always (well, almost always) willing to give more than one chance.<br />-Andi xAndi B.

I'd love to see the restored version of this. & I may be writing about the nouvelle vague on RFBanjo within the next few days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-44043688644669799112010-07-28T12:43:04.365-04:002010-07-28T12:43:04.365-04:00You are so lucky to have seen the restored Breathl...You are so lucky to have seen the restored Breathless on the big screen! I love the film. It is one of my favourite films from the noveau vague. I have to admit that I am a bit surprised Carlos doesn't care for the French films of that era. I would have thought they would have been right up his alley!Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.com
