stardust memories
while we’re on the topic, here is a scene my personal favorite woody allen movie, stardust memories. a perfect song from louis armstrong soothingly in the background, and allen’s stunning ode to “8 1/2” make me smile even greater each time i see it. not to mention the incredible line, “to you, i’m an atheist; to God, i’m the loyal opposition.” by sv
woody allen’s annie hall 1977 vs. jean luc godard’s une femme est une femme 1961
i watched woody allen’s annie hall the other night for the tenth time (pp i was thinking of you saying how i am the real woody allen, which i took as a massive compliment) and couldn’t help but see so much of godard in the film a woman is a woman. of course, woody allen films are woody allen, and you can’t really compare–but i assure you, if you see the two films back to back (i didn’t but i have practically memorized une femme est une femme by now) you will see major parallels. the intellectual leftist protagonist, the talking to the audience gag, the personal relationship turned script, the humor and jab at overt intellectuality, the sexual comedy, the books and the titles, the street life, the references to great cinema, and simply the brilliance. two great films worth watching over and over again. the crazy thing is JLG’s film was made in 1961 while annie hall was done in 1977. i always knew godard loved woody allen, but i’m sure the love and inspiration was quite mutual. by dd

young turks: 2012 video calendar… excluding the calendar
met a gentle and kind turkish director today by the name of koray birand. he has a knack for nudity… here is his 2012 calendar in stark B&W… while i can’t tell the difference between the 1st and 21st of the month, i still find the footage quite beautiful. by xy
