Seen it 7yrs ago)
(Only 4% of the movies I’ve seen enter this list so far)
Haven’t seen Ikiru yet tho…

I prefer Seppeku though, it has an almost Resnais feel to the movement and space.

You have a great eye. Seppuku is a story which sneaks up on you that way. That final battle in the palace courtyard was as genius for it didn’t show as for it did show.

Ikiru is probably the best film ever made.

I have it up there. But even more importantly, I do think Ikiru the most important movie anyone can see.

I’m missing the game because my lovely missus wanted to go to the Opera for her birthday. We’re seeing La Traviata at the Met, first (and probably last?!) opera for me. Watch Frank go for a 50pt triple-double…

My mom was a Julliard trained opera singer so I know most of them fairly well. Cliffs notes:

The best aria in the opera is early in the first act there a brindisi extolling the joys of drinking. There is a terrific baritone aria between father and son in the middle of the opera.

Rest assured that in most Italian operas…. the hot chick always dies of tuberculosis in the end 🙂

While Turandot is wonderful it cannot match La Boheme three consecutive kick ass arias between Rodolfo and Mimi in act one , nor the sheer comedy of of Musetta cock teasing the bejesus out of poor Marcello in Quando me’n Vo:

Puccini was a fucking genius……

I thought that i was the only cuckoo out there blown out by Marienbad!

French New Wave is definitely great and deserves deep searching.

Hiroshima Mon Amour is beautiful. For a more approachable and recent one in his catalog, check out Wild Grass.

French New Wave contains by far my favorite directors and movies. Truffaut (Jules & Jim), Godard (Breathless), Varda (Cleo from 5 to 7), Rohmer (Claire’s Knee, but all of the “Moral Tales” are great) and Melville (Army of Shadows), Malle (Elevator to the Gallows) are all in the pantheon.

His blocking and camera work were astounding. Soundtrack was baller too. Telling so many possible stories at the same time, Resnais is one of the greats.

‘Last Year at Marienbad’ is a cinematic experience.
Extremely artsy but totally mesmerising.

We’re seeing La Traviata at the Met, first (and probably last?!) opera for me.

Give it a chance. The Met’s amazing, but the best opera experiences for my money is in small spaces. Going to see Blood Moon in a couple of weeks. It’s a new piece, a conversation between a man and the ghost of his dead aunt, who he abandoned to die 40 years before. I’m extremely excited. Probably tells you something about me..
