Even for a nouvelle vague film, this is pretty weird. Me like!

Une femme mariée. Jean-Luc Godard. 1964.

Dehsler

Governor’s

This is dead silly, this is.

Hard Day’s Night was funnier. Less encumbered with plot. I laughed a lot here, too, but there are long stretches where nothing funny happens. I want this to be better than it is. And I’m not really that fond of the music.

Help!. Richard Lester. 1965.

Derby

Uh-oh. A French film about livestock. This isn’t going to have a happy ending.

Or middle, or beginning.

I love the stilted human actors, but having several very different-looking donkeys play Balthazar was kinda odd.

Au hasard Balthazar. Robert Bresson. 1966.

Err…

mplayer doesn’t want to do screenshots of this fillum? Weird.

Well, I’ll just use my camera.

This is a kinda sadistic film, bur it takes a kinda empowering turn. And everything happens in one small apartment. Mostly in the same room. I kinda like that.

It starts out kinda dicey, but then turns into a really tense and gripping film.  The plot, though…  Sheesh…

Hepburn is great in this.

Wait Until Dark. Terence Young. 1967.

This film is so 70s! If I didn’t know that it was from 1968 and by Norman Jewison I would have guessed that it was from 1974 and by a very, very restrained Robert Altman. It’s like six years before its time.

The start, at least. The rest is more ordinary.

It could have been the most arty heist movie ever, but then it turns all boring after fifteen minutes or something.

The Thomas Crown Affaire. Norman Jewison. 1968.
