Au hasard Balthazar
I love that movie, but whenever I try to describe it to someone, it makes them laugh.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You sadist. Why don't you just send her Mouchette and Au hasard Balthazar while you're at it.
At least

I hate Bresson with the heat of thousand suns, or, rather, la chaleur de mille soleils.

I feel the opposite! But A Man Escaped is my favorite Bresson, so I don't know what that says, except that we're talking French cinema in the Literary thread.

Will it help if I say I do like his literary adaptations, Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne and Journal d'un curé de campagne?

Punishingly Intricate
French cinema was one of my favorite classes as an undergrad. Alas, I speak no French (except menu).
