Thanks. I saw it a special screening a few months ago :0). Probably the best film of the year for me. I love Agnes Varda's work, and it was while we were studying her film Sans Toit ni loi (Vagabond in English) that the scales fell from my eyes about how to read French films. I watched one of her great Nouvelle Vague classics, Cleo de 5 a 7, last month at a screening presented by Francine Stock. First time I'd seen it on the big screen, and a great presentation.
Glad you both enjoyed it - it was nominated for an Oscar, and is a real masterpiece in my opinion. How many others from the Nouvelle Vague are still producing work of such quality? https://web-options.com/2018/07/11/the-source-of-the-loire/ B On 2 Dec 2018, at 22:37, Steve Cottrell <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I was going to email Bob directly, but then I thought that this might be of some interest to PDMLers. Alma and I watched a fascinating film tonight called 'Face Places' - a 2017 French documentary about a pair of photographer/artists - one in his 30s and the other in her 80s - traveling through rural France exloring the people and the villages, and creating some really interesting photo images that they paste on the sides of buildings and large structures. Alma rented the DVD from our library. The IMCB link is below, have a look at the trailer. It peaked my interest, but I found the film was way better! Highly recommended viewing - sadly no Pentax content (hence OT!) but there might be a Leica or two. But it's about the people they meet, the recollections from her past (HCB, Jean-Luc Godard, Guy Bourdin et al), the art from today, and the camaraderie... Bob, c'est une belle visualisation! <https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5598102/> -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ UK Shoot / Edit and || (O) | Live Broadcast News ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv<http://www.seeingeye.tv>> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
