Comments
La Maman et la Putain
Total freedom of speech, directing and acting.
"Cinema is about learning how to make a bed".
The Wind
Iconic face of silent cinema. Woman vs wild, power of the set and acting physical.
Strange Days
Magnificent reflexion about point of view in filmmaking, birth of the VR process : dive into someone's vision and memories. Conspiracy omnipresent.
Sommaren med Monika
Character looking at the camera, camera exploring what summer carries : desire & boldness.
Trouble in Paradise
Best comedy : masterpiece of both visual and spoken languages.
Heaven's Gate
Western is dead. Long live western.
La Jetée
The story of a man who saw something.
Announcing all SciFi movies to come.
Under the Skin
An alien gaze on masculinity. Classic feelings are challenged. Perfect soundtrack, and so far one of the best film of the 21th century.
Les Enfants du paradis
Best team ever gathered in French classic cinema, celebration of stage.
Yi Yi
Simplicity and obviousness. Take you gently to greatness.
