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.
