I have soft spot for Godard. My first love affair with film at the ripe age of 17. Pierrot ranks very high with me because I think Belmondo and Karina add some life to his crankyness. I haven't seen Vivre sa vie in many years. I'm going to revisit it soon.
Recent watches
Ride in the Whirlind - finished off the Monte Hellman set. This one really didn't do it for me. I was way into the Shooting but this one seemed like a throwaway.
Cheyenne Autumn - So..... Ford was visually stunning as always in Monument Valley but this one was a drag. It started out incredible but his attempt to rectify the image of Native American's in film totally missed the mark. Top that off with a totally useless interlude with Jimmy Stewart. This could've been Ford's masterpiece but instead it is one of the worst of his I've seen.
