Stranger Than Paradise (1984)



Jim Jarmusch this is not witty nor an irreverent look at anything- its fucking boring.

Alphaville (1965)


black-white science-fiction Godard
Anna Karina
I watched this a few times, it developed more meaning each time- but that could be just my questionable intelligence.
I love it's film noir.
To be illogical!

True Romance (1993)




Directed by Tony Scott & written by Quentin Tarantino
Crime, detectives, romance, drugs, killing... How could I have never seen this.
Christian Slater
Patricia Arquette
Dennis Hopper
Val Kilmer
Gary Oldman
Brad Pitt
Christopher Walken
Samuel L. Jackson
James Gandolfini
I love the end scene where they all blow eachother up but not as much as the Christopher Walken scene..

Genesis (2004), Microcosmos: Le Peuple de l'herb (1996)



Microcosmos: Le Peuple de l'herb (1996)
interesting film about animals in the french forest
Genesis (2004) a less interesting film on microcosms- seems like there's sum religious agenda that makes me uncomfortable...
get high - watch it if you get tripped out by nature and science

Stolen Kisses (1968)

François Truffaut

Wayyy more akward Antoine Doinel esp illustrated in the picture above.

Antoine and Colette (1962)


more Truffaut, Antoine Doinel older and more awkward. Less interesting of the set to be honest.

400 Blows (Les Quatre Cents Coups) (1959)




400 Blows (Les Quatre Cents Coups)
Antoine Doinel troublemaking in Paris- the french meaning of the title is "to raise hell"
aka vintage Jean-Pierre Léaud- adorable
François Truffaut classic
