Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
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.
As much as I like some of Bergman's films and Antonioni's films (and I like a few), I'd be a bit more troubled by their deaths if I'd had any idea last Friday that either was still alive.
And Herzog is a whole generation younger than those guys. I think both were older than Godard, too.
Michel Serrault died. Could that be #3?
That's sad, he was still doing great work these past few years. I really liked him in Une hirondelle a fait le printemps not to mention Nelly & M. Arnaud and, of course, La Cage aux folles.
I think both were older than Godard, too.
Godard is almost 80, so not quite as old, but he's up there. (But younger than my dad!)
And Herzog is a whole generation younger than those guys. I think both were older than Godard, too.
Him and Wim Wenders are pretty much the same generation, right? I think Fassbinder too, but he was obviously the anti-Herzog in terms of longevity (though not volume of production).
I thought Fassbinder had a few years on those other two. But I'm too lazy to confirm or deny.

Oh, yeah.

Huh. Went and checked IMDB, and Herzog's '42, and the other two are both '45. Of course Fassbinder died in '82, so he probably gets perceived as older (along with his ridiculous volume of output - 43 movies credited to him as director between '66 and '82!).
Man! Fassbinder wasn't even 40 when he died! Crazy!
