The Fish 10681 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Not really. Certainly not a manly butch-omatic film, but I wouldn't necessarily say it wasa chick flick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1219 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I ingested some early Goddard ('Breathless'). Parky will be pleased. Lovely work. Intellectual but also light. Check "Alphaville" mate. And "Le Chinoise". Ta, I've heard Mempris (sp?) is a good one too. Also stars Bridget Bardot Alex, weekend is worth a look for his later 60s work, also Bande à part. Agree with parky (this time only) on Alphaville. If you can find it Hiroshima Mon Amour by Alain Resnais is an awesome French New Wave film. Along with 400 Blows, it's on the 'list'. Watched Get Carter last night btw. I wouldn't bother, it's possibly the worst film I've ever watched. Was going to say hated it from start to finish but I didn't quite make the end becuase after sitting through more than an hour of absolute boredom I switched it off before the end. The Bucket List. Pretty good and Nicholson and Freeman are always worth a watch but it wasn't really the comedy I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3342 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Is it just me or does the lack of women in this place seem to lead to the blokes developing a menstrual cycle? Hey I'm admit it the film expertise of a first year stooddent drives me to the rags some days. It's like fop, RlCO and thompers being the keepers of all knowledge. Every so often you just snap.

SloopJohn 0 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hiroshima Mon Amour is not French New Wave. it's like saying Bresson is French New Wave just because he was French and made films during the 50's, 60's and 70's despite his cinema having nothing in common with the classic 'New Wave' films. critics normally include Resnais though with Truffuat and Godard because lets be honest. critics are fucking lazy. i didn't really enjoy Hiroshima Mon Amour although the opening 20 minutes were spectacular, but I'm still keen on seeing Last Year At Marienbad - which aesthetically looks really interesting. and Weekend. now that is a hilarious movie. it's like the cinema equivalent of Super æ. Sloopjohn, two words - fuck off. If that's the best you can do I suggest studying something else. Maybe you should consider accountancy because I doubt you realise 0 comes after 24! Obviously academics are also lazy because Resnais's film in your opinion doesn't make New Wave. Have you actually watched it? Do you actually understand what French New Wave is? Flashbacks, use of documentary/news footage from post Hiroshima were all common production technics in 1958, weren't they? As for your comment on Weekend, maybe you can go ask one of your lecturers the importance of it because you're obviously can't find it yourself. Easy tiger. yes of course i've watched Hiroshima Mon Amour - and even though it uses flashbacks / news footage as you said, so does Mirror and that film has absolutely nothing in common with the classic French New Wave style (which is defined by a reckless and playful subversion of then standard cinema ideals). Hiroshima Mon Amour has a much slower pace, and even though it's narrative is split between the past and present, Resnais shows careful consideration when moving between these two time periods and how the images fit together. In comparison to say Jules et Jim for instance, where Truffuat shows little regard for image continuity and coherence, the films are world apart in how they approach the medium. And using news footage, Resnais had already done that with Night & Fog in 1955, which pre-dates the New Wave movement historically, so I wouldn't say this technique is a hall mark of New Wave film making. French New Wave is an extremely playful movement in general and Hiroshima Mon Amour isn't remotely playful in it's approach to it's themes of regret and how the past shapes the present - which for me - seperates the film entirely from the New Wave despite Resnais being an obvious contemporary of the New Wave film makers. as for your quip about what I said about Weekend. did you understand it? I found the film funny because it's an extreme satire of French bourgeois values - and for me, is as frivolous and generally bat-shit crazy as Super Æ.

Happy Face 29 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 And here's me thinking the New Wave is just a period of popularity for a nations cinema. The films that most identify with the term French New Wave just being the most popular. What style is defined by the current Romanian New Wave? Or the Germnan New Wave of the last few years?
