3 Women. Robert Altman. 1977.
For some values of “beer adjacent”.
F&B1976: The Outlaw Josey Wales
*twirls moustache*
Representative dialogue:
“Dammit senator, you promised me that these men would be decently treated!” “They were! They were decently fed, and then they were decently shot!”
The bad thing is that Cleastwood didn’t seem to think that was a funny line.
Where did the DVD cover go? Hm.
The Outlaw Josey Wales. Clint Eastwood. 1976.
F&B1975: Jeanne Dielman. 23, quai du Commerce. 1080 Bruxelles
Well, this was a difficult one. For the first two hours I had problems paying attention to the film — the most exciting thing that seemed to be happening was the she overcooked some potatoes. But then I started paying attention, and the last hour and a half were kinda brilliant. So perhaps the entire film was? Or not? I don’t know. Anyway:
Delphine Seyrig 4 Ever.
Jeanne Dielman. 23, quai du Commerce. 1080 Bruxelles. Chantal Akerman. 1975.
F&B1974: It’s Alive
This is not a film from g_monte‘s list of the best movies of 1974. The one I had ordered, The Conversation hasn’t arrived yet, so I had to make a substitution. And this was the only one from 1974 I hadn’t seen yet. And it was better than I expected. But a bit … boring…
It’s Alive. Larry Cohen. 1974.
F&B1973: O Lucky Man
Another British political comedy that I wish was funnier…
O Lucky Man. Lindsay Anderson. 1973.
