Once again, life gets in the way :) I guess we’ll just smile and take it, eh?
For those of you interested in the noir genre, you might want to add Renaissance and Brick to your must-see film list. The former is a black and white animated (though adult) film set in the Paris of 2054 and the latter is set in a contemporary California high school. Renaissance (limited release, not yet available on DVD) has some exceptional visuals and some intriguing symbology to recommend it. Brick (available on DVD) has a decent story and Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s incredible performance. Neither are perfect films (and I have to wonder if a perfect noir film wouldn’t be entirely beside the point) and both are very much worth seeing.
Chatters is definitely on for Thursday night - please drop by if you’re in the neighborhood :)
No trackbacks yet.
Hope all is well. That French film in particular sounds very interesting—I will have to wait for the DVD. A knitting group potluck tonight conflicts with Chatters—have fun!
Rob - We’ll miss you but have a wonderful time! The film isn’t French - British I think - it’s just set in Paris :)
