Taking out the garbabe here is frought with passion, "Damn it, it IS your turn!"
One can also see various creatures near the garbage bins at night, such as armadillos, racoons, assorted garden snakes, and palm rats. Quite interesting!
Actually, J&J IS the most boring of the "great" films I've seen. Not long ago, I rented it to see if my tastes had "matured" since I saw it 15 years ago. Nope.
Not only is the direction poor, there is no memorable scene. But the malaise goes deeper: a film that places Jeanne as the femme fatale already is doomed. She looks nasty, ill-humored, pasty-faced, and her body looks doughy.
Truffaut? Shoot the Piano Player, a couple of the "400 Blows" installments...and a lot of dreck.
