I'm still not especially drawn to see it, but I somehow suspect I'll be first in line when the nightclub bit shows up on youtube.

So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The French director I haven't seen anything by, and seriously need to rectify that situation about, is Melville.
Bob le Flambeur is very enjoyable. Le Samourai is colder and more severe, but beautiful in its way and a fascinating late noir.

I haven't seen any Clouzot, either, but his movies hang out towards the middle of my Netflix queue.

Thanks for the Netflix advice, everyone! I just took care of it. Strange thing is that I remember sealing the envelope up while standing in front of the mailbox here at work, but I don't remember dropping it into the box. I hope I mailed it, and didn't accidentally drop it into the garbage or somewhere else in a post-Labor-Day haze. Sad thing is that it's part of a multi-disk set (Disk 1 of Doctor Who), so it'll cost them more to replace it if it doesn't show up.

I'd second both of the movies David mentioned.

Being French, they're probably smoking cigarettes and making rude comments to the discs that pass them on the way up the queue.

It must be galling that so many of those that by-pass them are by their countrymen.

Le Cercle rouge (also with Delon) is quite good as well.

I'd say it's actually gauling.
