"An absolutely brilliant satire of the American musical, carrying on Godard's avant-garde sound techniques and cinema verite style (complete with some incredible tracking shots) as well as his heavily utilized theme (in his earlier works especially) of the male-female societal relationship in France contrasted with that relationship in the US. Possibly the most accessible Godard film I have seen yet, I would recommend this to anybody as a place to start delving into Godard's work. "

"A number of our blogging friends have picked up the Alphabetical Favorites meme. The idea is that you list 26 favorite movies, one for each letter of the alphabet. Some people are adding comments, but I think it’s more interesting to just toss the titles out there, to see how they fit together within a single list and how they match up to other lists. Also, it’s been a hell of a week and I’m exhausted. I will say this: after not being able to think of a single movie beginning with the letter “J” that I enjoy more than Joe Versus the Volcano, I noticed that several commenters at the House Next Door had slotted the same film in the same face. So much for Todd McCarthy’s contention in his Doubt review that John Patrick Shanley’s first directorial effort was “misguided.” So! My list is after the jump. < "

"This movie is so happy! It's the ultimate date movie, has a virusoso cinematic technique and is as cute as my little puppy. Aww.... The movie stars the adorable (Edwin's words were never more true) Anna Karina as Angela, a burlesque dancer who wants to have a baby. She cohabits with Emile (Jean-Claude Braily), who doesn't. She's also best friends with Alfred (Jean-Paul Belmondo, the cool guy from Breathless) and thinks that perhaps he might be able to get the job done. There's not much more to the story than that, but you didn't think this was going to be about story anyway, did you? It's all about atmosphere, and style, and the cute things that Anna Karina says and does. The movie is often said to be a musical. That only half true- music does play a huge role in this movie, but most of it is in recitives and is talked instead of sung, a la Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady. There is only one real song, which Karina performs at her semi-seedy club. Goddard plays with the elemen ... "

"Posting will be light here this afternoon--it's a slooooooow post-holiday news day, and I'm planning to spend the better part of the afternoon at Film Forum swooning over Jean-Paul Belmondo in a new print of Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Doulos. To get into the mood, I went to YouTube and searched for "Belmondo." I found this trailer for A Woman is A Woman, Jean-Luc Godard's 1961 "musical" starring Belmondo, Anna Karina, and Jean-Claude Brialy. In it, Godard explains (via wall-to-wall voice over) his Renoir-inspired approach to on-the-set improvisation. It's semi-NSFW, but considering it's a beautiful summer Friday afternoon, you're probably not at work, anyway. Technorati Profile Originally posted on:SpoutBlog "
