godard remains one of the best of all time. and this is among the best of his works - in my opinion - beyond lovely

Anna KARINE looks like Ash in Avalon (from Mamaoru Ooshi) ;-) Thanx for the vid, Alphaville is one of my favourite movies ever.

What about Ingmar Bergman? I first saw PERSONA in 1982, age 15, and I feel that this experience changed my life more than any other single film viewing.

Mizoguchi, Ozu, Kurosawa and several others are excellent. Sansho the Bailiff is one of my favorites but so is Ugetsu by Mizoguchi.

and btw, when we're talking about the greatest directors of all time (this is of course subjective and our knowledge differs, so this can go on and on), and you mentioned Teshigahara (who afaik was also a favourite of Tarkovsky's), what about the great japanese directors in general? If one would ask me about the greatest, I would tend to say Mizoguchi, and if I would have to pick the one film which I believe is able to turn the world upside down, it would be "Sansho Dayu".

I tend to agree as well. But I would also say that cinematic poetry is not something which is necessarily achieved by cinematic extravaganza - Chaplin and Keaton are great poets and offer us a deep understanding of the world through a language which is distinctly their own and a world created by it which as well is distinctly their own. Avantgarde-filmmaker Jean-Marie Straub called Chaplin the greatest editor of all time (!), and Bresson himself felt more close to him than to anybody else.

Is there anywhere I can get the transcript of this scene in French? Thanks.

It is a pirate bay full of sharks and people like to copy everthing overthere from the finest perfumes to the repertoire movies. There is a Taipan who rules everything overthere. You could maybe read James Clavell's trilogy about this place. Very page turning books. I thought it was the place you mentioned where I could find a copy of Alphaville - that I could find nowhere else...

Where on earth is Taipanville?
By: laoula. on 06 Sep 08, 01:15:13
I don't know how to order to Taipanville, that's the problem.

This beautiful IMO cameo is being variously applauded and/or analyzed here, but it was never meant to be detached from its context. The whole film is about human alienation and contemporary viewers would have recognised Eddie Constantine parodying his stereotype private eye character, and Goddard's blatant borrowing from Orwell's 1984.
By: cuddlyable3. on 01 Sep 08, 18:59:51
It's available as a torrent via - ahem - a bay of pirates.

What is love? Love is what is necessary without you knowing why.

Welles is GOD. I'm not so hot about Deren or Brakage, I never really cared about Avant garde cinema.
By: sneezepal. on 25 Aug 08, 21:10:08
Eddie Constantine kicks ass.

I tend to agree (especially Tarkovsky - I have experienced something amounting to a religious epiphany in part because of his films), but there is more to film than poetry. We need the likes of the Marx Brothers, Preston Sturges, and Robert Altman as well, and I would say they come close to being quintessentially American.

godard breathless come on this guy is good
By: DonFarshido. on 06 Aug 08, 22:31:52
dito, though I've not yet seen Teshigahara's, Deren's or Brakhage's work I'm afraid. I hope it won't take me too long. Among American director's, there are actually many I adore, but being equal to Godard or Bresson is of course something else. Well, at least Chaplin or Keaton are in my estimation among the greatest of cinematic artists.
By: Boudosaved. on 01 Aug 08, 20:52:37
Godard and Bresson are among the best directors of all time. They, along with Tarkovsky, Teshigahara, Bergman and Antonioni, are poets who one day were handed cameras to express themselves. No American director comes close, with the exceptions of Welles, Maya Deren, Brakhage and a couple others.

Anna Karina est beau.

Pierrot le fou is my favourite Godard and one of my all time faves. It definitely is a mad film, thats for sure. For me it's in the same time one of the funniest, saddest and most disturbing things I've ever seen. If there ever has been a film who achieved being a piece of art by consistently refusing to give us anything what we want from a piece of art, it's Pierrot le fou, a film which would make me a better man if I could look at real life in such an intense way as I look at it.
By: jackal59. on 30 May 08, 00:18:26
I'm not sure about Godard - on the one hand, I love this and _Week End_, and on the other I find _Pierrot le Fou_ to be unwatchable. One thing I'm sure of, though, is that Raoul Countard (the cinematographer for this and most of Godard's early films) has a brilliant and nearly unmatched command of what you can do with film.
By: AnythingBox. on 13 May 08, 01:50:50
Ah, but then growing up truly is meaningless, when we lose what we saw as full passion, no? When you cannot lose yourself in a piece of art without questioning its intellectual intent, you are 'grown up'. I'll have no part in that business, thank you. I'd rather be innocent and impressionable forever.
