Just finished watching episodes of a television 6 episode comic drama.
Both Hilary and I enjoyed it, but be warned, it is not for the squeamish.
Two ordinary people somehow get caught up in a world of cocaine, murder, gangs, everyday violence with strange twists, turns and with a climactic finish. Rather strong language too.
Stand back. Prepare to be disturbed. Not to be missed.
I just watched “Drowning by Numbers” by Peter Greenaway
There’s a new print with new commentary this year by the director, in 4k too
I don’t think it’s for all, but it is certainly my cup of tea.
I am also into French New Wave cinema, all French Cinema, and cinema of the '70s…
That, and listening to vinyl to pass my home alone on Tuesdays
ciao, Roland
Will Check into those Bobbi and Roland: We finally got into Peaky Blinders: violent but amazing. Last month we watched nearly every Poirot and Vera.
Do you get “Yellowstone” in the UK? also good.
Recently I watched “les Felins” 1964 with Alain Delon, a great film
I love all Tavernier, Chabrol, Rohmer, Melville etc.
What are your favourite directors? got some films to recommend?
I speak Spanish, but that makes French easier to read, Northerner. Enjoy your movies. I am finding some from the Netherlands, but they always film in Spain. Brazil does pretty good as well. Watching New Amsterdam for now. I am hooked.
@pando Oppenheimer finally came to TV last night. Very fast paced and a bit dizzying, fascinating. Great cast and powerful film. Very long and glad I was at home to watch it. In the theater I would have been up to go to the bathroom at least twice. lol
These physicists had and do have a brilliant mind, way beyond anything I can imagine.
But I’m proud of my ability to add, subtract, multiply, and divide…that is the extent of it. :yum
My wife and I watched La Classe tonight, Matthew
We liked it
That teacher was up against impossible odds, of course (isn’t everyone here?)
By the way, what was the French word that Francoise used against the 2 class reps?
(in English they translated it as “sluts”)
