Just watched it today in French New Wave class. Amazing transfer, I must say. And I had never seen it! Quite a work of art.

Fantastic! It's pretty damn good, and the collection of the four movies leaves me breathless (ha). I've only watched La Pointe Courte and Cleo so far, but the quality is astounding and the features are freakin' awesome. And only Criterion could put out some DVD's with a booklet that's thicker than the DVD cases themselves haha

But I don't care darling, because I love you, and you've got to let me eat your brains.

Watched it last night. A fine Nouvelle Vague film that isn't really Nouvelle Vague, and that can stake an early claim to what later came to be identified as Resnais territory. Sylvia Monfort was so uncannily beautiful, you can't take your eyes off her.



There, daddy, do I get a gold star?

Also out on Artificial Eye http://www.artificial-eye.com/film.php?dvd=ART460DVD&plugs&qt= true&wm=true and looking very good too.

Have so far only watched La Pointe-Courte which also has the delightful Du Côté de la côte documentary on it.


Cléo de 5 à 7 has the following "extras":

"Memories and Anecdotes"
"Madonna and Agnés Speak About Cléo"
"Cléo's Time-lapse Trajectory"
"Subject of the Engaged"
"Francés on the Bridge"
"Cariatides of Paris"

More details to follow as I watch the other films.
