It's on my list and now I'm not sure if I want to see it. Did you otherwise enjoy it? Recommend it? How's your MIFF experience going?<br /><br />I think the thing with Godard is you can't expect to appreciate his films by normal standards or criteria. He demands that you get into his space and he's highly Paul Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10965628567103267009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34898184.post-71020527984121451692009-07-31T19:34:53.883+10:002009-07-31T19:34:53.883+10:00I wasn't a fan of Alphaville when I caught it ...I wasn't a fan of <i>Alphaville</i> when I caught it on DVD earlier this year. Felt lifeless and for a movie that is apparently science-fiction it wasn't engaging.<br /><br />I saw the Russian film <i>Yuri's Day</i> last week and being set in Russia there are a lot of scenes with snow in them and yet all the subtitles were in white as well.

Bonnaire is a fascinating actress and there's clips of <i>Vagabond</i> in the doco that make it seem worth looking up. I want to get Criterion's <i>Clèo</i> which comes bundled with <i>Vagabond</i>.<br /><br />Paul Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10965628567103267009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34898184.post-19048235900404838722009-07-27T14:58:19.694+10:002009-07-27T14:58:19.694+10:00The Varda doco sounds interesting Paul.

Apparently Criterion released it at some stage. Have you ever seen it?<br /><br />My first two sessions at MIFF where contrasting experiences (except the crowds which were mad at both!).
