Yay! Uno is back on track. Great!

Well, I'm not doing very well with him, but still much better than just a year ago.


Histoire de Marie et Julien (The Story of Marie and Julien, 2003) - 8/10
L'amour par terre (Love on the Ground, 1984) - 8/10
Céline et Julie vont en bateau - Phantom Ladies Over Paris (Celine and Julie Go Boating, 1974) - 10/10
La religieuse (The Nun, 1966) - 8/10
Paris nous appartient (Paris Belongs to Us, 1961) - 8/10

Bonus (a short):
Le coup du berger (Fool's Mate, 1956, sh) - 8/10


Have to see more (much more), but the idea is (as always these days) to go in chronological order from now on (meaning 'L'amour fou' should be next in line).

Yup! (for a couple of days that is ).

252 min. lightweight Rivette, I guess . I had this crazy idea; I wanted to 'attempt' to watch all of his features, but soon I abandoned it after realizing that most of them quite rare (and in poor quality, too).

Hey, great to see you here, too. Thanks again for the feedback.

By the way, how come you don't hang around FG or CFB or something?

I sometimes visit those boards but I am busy so I don't have time to reply to any posts there. But I like the directors' lists you, Lynchs and Miran put on these boards.

Paris Nous Appartient - 7/10
Out 1 (Noli Me Tangere) - 10/10
Celine and Julie Go Boating - 10/10
La Belle Noiseuse - 9/10

Sadly, that's about all I've been able to see. Rivette's films are so rare that I can only watch them on my computer.


It sounded like a garbage truck dropped off the Empire State Building
