I've seen both of these, and found Le Samourai to be visually interesting, and an historical document on Asian influences in western film, but ultimately it's a big pile of stylish nonsense. Pretty nonsense, but.

Yeah, definitely. A lot of the images stick with me, but the plot itself has long since evaporated from my brain.

Wait wait wait, Casablanca IS Chicken Run. Just, with different-looking actors and a lot less smoking.

No wait, I mean The Great Escape. If you can handle the idea of Richard Attenborough and Steve McQueen being played by female English chickens.

Yeah, sometimes it is hard to know... because it's not exactly true that if I really laugh at a comedy and give it the same rating as Deadwood, that I like it in the same way I like Deadwood. Apples and uh, peaches right? But I really enjoyed it the day that I watched it, so I feel inclined to give it the high rating. And I only give one if I can't stand to finish or something. I probably look like the cheapest Netflix date in the world.

Which makes sense considering the gaping holes in it. It's best not to think about it. I focus on Alain Delon = pretty.

Also seconding the Purple Noon recommendation. Although, if bad dubbing bothers you in any way, I'd avoid it getting it through Netflix.

"En plein soleil" means "in the heat of the sun".

Why did I see the words "Purple Noon" and think I was seeing "Purple Rain"? Although, that would be a good movie to see with French dubbing.

Can anyone translate "Darling Nikki" into French?

Can anyone translate "Darling Nikki" into French?

"Nicquie, Cherie"

So, she was just kissing that magazine in French?

Note: "niquer" also means "to fuck". Interesting.

This thread makes me feel so ignorant.

second that emotion, bunky. But I console myself that that is how we learn. Sometimes.
