Unless I change my mind, I'm gonna do "(quasi)-docs about capital."

Seen 6:

1. Entr'acte
2. I Married a Witch
3. Le Million

I'd vote for no distinction between features and shorts - whether we do genre/nation/whatever else, I'm in favor of both features and shorts being allowed.

I'm never too optimistic about the level of participation, but I'll participate as a manager and endeavor to watch all the movies no matter what the structure is. Genres was very fun last time!

I've seen 5 by Cote, so a decent number but probably not enough to help

Final list: 1. The Roe's Room (Majewski) The House (Bartas) Yggdrasill: Whose Roots Are Stars in the Human Mind (Brakhage) The Life of Jesus (Dumont) The Sweet Hereafter (Egoyan) A Man Whose Life Was Full of Woe Has Been Surprised by Joy (Elder) The Blackout (Ferrara) Train of Shadows (Guerin) Taste...

Seen 18:

1. La Jetee

3. A Grin Without a Cat
4. Sans Soleil
5. Level Five

I've seen 17, but I'll hold off a bit before voting in case I watch Level Five for the 97 poll.

I've seen 4 by Doillon, none by the others

Watched Bressane's Miramar , which might be his most accessible film that I've seen (all relative, of course). Despite the typically experimental, skeletal style it's basically an autobiographical Kunstlerroman in structure, which also means it's useful for understanding the artistic reference point...

Haven't seen any Tavernier, but he strikes me as an interesting figure. I doubt I'll get a chance to watch it for this, but I'm curious if anyone has thoughts on My Journey Through French Cinema ? I'm a fan, and I think you'd like it too - as the title suggests, it's a very personal look at the his...

5. Crude Oil
6. Mrs. Fang
7. Three Sisters
8. Bitter Money

One of Irma Vep's disguises in Les Vampires is named Juliette Berteaux. Juliet Berto (nee Annie Jamet) presumably got her surname from her marriage to Michel Berto, but I wonder if her first name is an homage to Irma. Certainly Feuillade was a touchstone for Celine and Julie and many other films fro...

I'm also a big fan of Senselessness - the only other Castellanos Moya I've read is La Diabla en el Espejo (only available in Spanish when I read it, but I think it's available in translation now), which is not quite at the same level but still very good.

I had similar problems with Stoner! So you're not the only one.

Let's do Vecchiali!

Curious if we have enough views for Vecchiali (I've seen 8) or Obayashi (I've seen 6)

Just seen 1 but I loved it so I'll vote for

1. Carnival in Flanders
