Absolutely. Costa-Gavras. Realistic maybe mostly, but for me still boring. I just do not like this kind of cinema-verite.
If devil would not be banal, nobody would be evilish except the mad. The routine is the key word here.
Well, if I do not like them, it not saying they should not exists, on the contrary I respect them. Just not my cup of tea.
Follow Ups:
I find that C-G.'s films (the ones I've liked) are character driven and compelling on a personal level. If I liked his people, then the films left me with lasting impressions. I really liked "Missing." Have you seen that? With Lemmon and Spacek, it's a heck of a film, though much different in style than "Z." (I admit to admiring "Z.". When Montand's character is assassinated, I was powerfully affected. And to see all the bad guys getting their "just desserts" from Trintignant (the prosecuter) during the interview montage, I want to cheer. ) I find C-G's range as a film maker to be rather broad. Certainly nice to have a forum to discuss interesting films. Thanks.
Yes I have seen " Missing " still I do not likle his style...And you are fully right about the character driving of his players.
It is just a matter of taste as C-Gavras belong certainly to the better directors. Maybe I should gave them a second look...So to know better why I donītīlike them, or for changing my mind....
Oh yes!! Good place to learn a lot more on movies. Our love.
Thanks too.
