Is it true as well in other cities than our own?
It was around here. I never went, but I had some friends who actually did the show aspect, and while none of them were goth, they met a bunch of them through via RH.

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.

Another less-appreciated current French director I like a lot is Cantet. His movies Time Out and Human Resources were just freakin' brilliant.
He's very good. I loved Time Out, but I'm a big fan of Karin Viard. Have you seen Vers le sud ? Because it looked like a train wreck to me and I was surprised when I realized it was him.
I am working my way through all of the movies in the International One-Minute Film Festival
It's fun.

I have not, but someone elsewhere (I think on Matt Zoller Seitz's blog) mentioned that Viard's been in some real dog turds.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned Luc Besson's Nikita from my list, because I would think that buffistas would have seen (and liked) that.

I think it's sort of an honorary Not!Foreign film. I'm sure a majority of Buffistas have seen it.
Man, Black Dahlia got wretched reviews. I don't even know if I want to see it now.

k.d. lang crooning! Rose Magowan in exotic costume! Aaron Eckhert being a bastard!
He's the best bastard in cinema since Vic Morrow had a little off the top.
Speaking of retro-noirish things...
God, I love Miller's Crossing! Why doesn't Marcia Gay Harden get any work? She's such a badass. Plus Gabriel Byrne's best role by far. He just burns a hole in the screen. That's what I think of when I think of Black Irish.
