To conclude, i have to throw a bunch of talented french people over this thread : Jean Renoir, Christophe Miossec (singer) and La Mano Negra (yes it's french...) .

Oh right, Marienbad was terrible, I hated that movie with a passion, that´s what I meant with the endless close shots. So boring. Sometimes I don´t think that people really likes those movies, they just say it because they think is cool. I have to study those movies. Hell.

But I love Truffaut. He had sould. Yes, I heard comments about Resnais last movies, still, don´t want to watch but could be of course.

I love Renoir and La mano Negra you mean Manu Chao?

 

 I don't even like all of the Truffaut movies... Marienbad is long as hell and also meaningless, without flesh, stoned. It's gratuitous or as my dad use to say "the dude loves to watch himself filming ", narcissic stuff.

And for la Mano , as we say here, i mean Manu Chao before his solo carrer, some of their songs are french to the bones, in a realistic way.

Macha , i get your point and i deeply understand your mister, there's no fucking way i watch Marienbad again.

Yes our cinema is very motionless, a lot of speeches among left winged bourgeoisie, boring love triangle, these kinds of stuffs. Very few of our moviemakers film about society issues for example and , imo, it's a real disease.

And if i had to list my favourite movies, i'm afraid very few french would be on the list. Renoir would  be on it (he is our "full of life " director, with a huge sense of humor , irony and humanity), first Godard too, one or two Truffaut and then ....Oh i love Nelly Kaplan and Chabrol pieces (not his last works ). For the rest i would have to explore my memory.

Strangely, and contradictory to what i have just said, i love some Jacques Doillon movies as well (a lot of endless speeches about life, death and couple issues ), as Ponette.

I haven't seen much of Resnais' latest work either; I didn't hate Hiroshima Mon Amour per se, but it didn't urge me on to look for his other movies. Last Year at Marienbad - I haven't seen this strictly because Mr. Macha (who otherwise loves French cinema) refuses to ever watch it again, and I lack the will to do it on my own.
I can't really describe my "relationship" with French cinema (and I say this because I watch a lot of European films), because there are many French films I've seen and liked and recommend them to my friends, but I didn't truly *love* any of them. Does that make sense?
For example I like Louis Malle's work a lot, I must have watched Claude Sautet's Cesare & Rosalie three times in the last two years, and I really like the new *something* I'm seeing from directors like Laurent Tirard - what is it, apart from humor? I can't describe it. Some sort of energy. I've seen it with other French directors as well, recently. But these movies don't make me flail my arms around when somebody mentions them. They intrigue me at most. I remember seeing Un soir, Un train and thinking God, this is weird. Wha..oooooh. Ok. I get it. Hmmm....interesting. Yeah, ok. I liked its theme immensely, lost communication and estrangement and so on, and I found myself thinking about it from time to time, but I would never count it among my favorite movies, and come to think about it I'm not sure many French films would make that list. Maybe it's because the impression I always got from French cinema is that it's either humorous, or quiet. Interesting, sweet at times, but quiet. Restrained. The "blood" we talked about in another thread, the blood IS there, but it's like it's flowing backwards or something, I can't put my finger on it. However, like I said, the one great thing about the French films I saw and liked was that I often think about them, perhaps it's a process of reconsideration and I don't realize it, and I'll wake up one day adoring French cinema.

Dear R'hllor, Macha, why why whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? why would you even try to base ur fucking stupid little tv show in a book u clearly do not slightly like or even remotely understand??? Why would u even turn to the musketeers if u plan to turn it into a pistol show that looks set in the far west? Don't start me with cardboard characters, cheesy dialogue and the atrociously bad swordfighting (i refuse to call it fencing. that's not fencing). puke

I swear to god, I knew it was gonna be bad by the poster alone (and honestly, the procedence. For some reason brittish/american films never get the feeling right for that period. idk. I've yet to see one that does) but heavens... watched the first 15 minutes with a smirk between sarcastic mad laughter, woeful pain and utter disgust. Then I got so mad at it that I had to turn it off and walk away or I'd have killed somebody. I was so pissed. Next day I decided I needed to finish the episode to properly judge it. And i did and it was one of the longest, most cringeworthy hours of my life. It's not gonna happen again.

And by the way, if u were gonna piss in the story, couldn't you guys at least make it funny? Or misterious? Or anything remotely interesting?

Hehe, I knew you'd be mad. Seriously now, I feel the same. Once, just once I would like to see a good adaptation of this book, because the material is just perfect for a film or a mini-series. WHY can they not see that? You don't *need* anything else to make it good. Somehow they always get lost in the action sequences, and miss out on all the juicy intrigue and politics, which are the book's strongest points.

This series is terrible, so terrible that I can't stop watching actually. Like you said, why do you need the book and the names if you were going to make your own version not only of the story, but of the characters as well? They butchered *everyone*.  disbelief And episode 2 is even worse.

 Elderly Frenchies because their baby-makers were bombed out and depleted.
