Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai  

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.

So show him some "A Bout de Souffle" for a bit of Belmondo cool (and Jean Seberg in that short haircut) and see what he says then.

Or perhaps a bit of "Lola Rennt" to get those foreign language juices flowing? (Though that might count as an action movie.)

But yes, as a general rule, Americans and subtitles don't mix.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm thinking many of my favorites are subtitled but realizing that most of them are action or comedy. King of Hearts and Y tu Mama Tambien come to mind.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oooh, Studio Ghibli has done The Borrowers. (Looks like a loose adaptation, which should be no surprise after Howl.)

Made In USA = awesome.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Made In USA = awesome.

Yet it is neither a comedy nor an action movie. How can this be possible?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aw. Kubrick's fan letter to Ingmar Bergman:

Your vision of life has moved me deeply, much more deeply than I have ever been moved by any films. I believe you are the greatest film-maker at work today.
