Perriot Le Fou (1965)





























To me, this is kind of a Bonnie and Clyde of 1960's France. There is little expression of emotion in the actors faces when they are talking about really intense stuff...Americans over-act. The story telling style is out of sequence but is a nice way to figure out what is happening. It was overall engaging considering that movies made pre-80's bore the hell out of me.

must watch the extras on the dvd of
"Rammellzee"-graffiti and art work are based on his theory of Gothic Futurism- insane

Crumb (1994)


Illustrator Robert Crumb is a pervert.
But this is a good film and hes an amazing artist

The Cool School


Good documentary about Ferus Art, the LA Art scene in general...specifically Kienholz, Ruscha, Larry Bell, John Altoon, Billy Al Bengston, Ed Moses, Robert Irwin and Kenneth Price, among others.
