Godard's Revolutionary La Chinoise.
Jean-Luc Godard made La Chinoise (1967) at the end of his most celebrated period, 1960-67, a period that also included his films Breathless (1960), Band of Outsiders (Bande à part) (1964), Pierrot le Fou (1965), and Weekend (1967). La Chinoise is Godard at his ...

I found this film fascinating, despite its reputation....
This film has been unfairly maligned by many (Rolling Stones fans, Godard fans), but it's actually pretty good and absolutely fascinating at times. Godard's politics get in the way of his cinematic mastery at times, but overall I found this as good and as compulsively ...

"A theorem is a proposition that has been or is to be proved on the basis of explicit assumptions...,
..Proving theorems is a central activity of mathematicians. Note that "theorem" is distinct from "theory". (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Teorema" (1968) is a fable that tells how a handsome young man (extremely attractive Terrence ...

Early André Téchiné, Early Juliette Binoche
André Téchiné made this 1985 film RENDEZ-VOUS before his promising career was established, giving us such fine films as My Favorite Season, The Innocents, The Wild Reeds, Beach Café, Alice and Martin, etc. The sensitivity to character development is tightly wound in ...

Great movie...
Great, political Godard film. People need to think about the economic issues it deals with, especially in these days of an essentially oligarchical america. But whatever your politics, it is an excellent film.

Criterion, 2005
Magnificent
The greatness of Robert Bresson's 1966 black and white film, Au Hasard Balthazar (which, translated, means something like Randomly Balthazar or By Chance Balthazar), comes not from only one aspect of it, nor even just a few. Virtually every aspect of the film reeks and ...

"I killed my father, I ate human flesh, and I tremble with joy."
Since Salo or the 120 Days of Sodom has been released (or specifically, reissued), I thought "you know, Pasolini has made a lot of other films, and I feel like writing about it". Most people (especially in the states) only know Pasolini for Salo or the 120 Days of ...

Into the Wild
Jean-Luc Godard's "Weekend" has reached its four decade milestone. It's a surrealistic cinematic trip into Godard's commentary on then-contemporary French society. It doesn't have a straightforward plot; one assumes Godard didn't mean to have one. "Weekend" begins ...
