in memory of the tremendous paragon of cinema, words and social commentary chris marker, here is his illustrious ‘junkopia’ shot while filming the vertigo shots of ‘sans soleil’ …if you ask me he looks like a relatively normal john waters, at least in this shot. marker is one of my favorites, transcending the invisible lines created by our minds, and forcing you to use all of your senses. love. by sv

m+m was having a laugh today when i said something about a pretty boy or something to that extent. she said, “what is a pretty boy?” well, i guess you can call pierre clementi one… at least when he was young. not unlike belmondo and delon, clementi grew old to look rather “dirty” but in his youth he was the quintessential pretty boy, at least to me…if you want to see him at his peak watch bernardo bertolucci’s film the double… or the conformist, where he has a much smaller role. the double is by far a better piece for clementi and his character. by dd

still love watching dario argento’s movie suspiria. the cinematography emphasizes the primary colours, making it really creepy and eerie… it was one of the last movies to be processed at the technicolor processing plant. by wn
two great men who turned good in old age… great picture of michelangelo antonioni and jack nicholson for the film the passenger – sony pictures. by dd

and for the record, here is jean luc godard’s interview with woody allen. and by the way “had been seen by likely less than a hundred people (before it hit the internet) since it was filmed twenty six years ago”. by dd
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
here is romy schneider in henri-georges clouzot’s unfinished 1964 film inferno, or l’enfer in french. it was presented for the first time in 2009 as semi-documentary film by serge bromberg to the public. it’s magical, modern and super amazing. thanx leyla for sending me this… i love it. xx by dd
