In Reply to: Re: Creme de la Creme: The Best French Films - 1927 to 1998. posted by Patrick UITZ on December 28, 2001 at 12:51:35:
At least one is missing !!! Le Dernier Metro
Follow Ups:
You are right, the Matlin Guide does now have "Le Dernier Metro" -
1980, but does list" Le Dernier Combat"-1984. Have you seen the 1937
film, "Pepe le Moko"? Opinion? An American version came out the next
year in the film "Algiers". Both films are well thought of, with
the French original receiving somewhat higher praise. A musical
remake came out in 1948 entitled "Casbah", it was also rated well.
"Peke le Moko" and "Algiers" are available on video, but not "Casbah".

Yes,of course, as a Frenchman,it is almost as must...
Opinion? A very well photograph picture,Jean Gabin,had the lead,very dark,you would say a film noir, human tragedy, J.Duvuvier was the regisseur ( direction)
A classic-one to look at-I did NOT like it-but that is another story.
The remake,I did even not was aware of them.
But you know.beware of the remake....
Patrick.
Are you familiar with Feuillade's escapist serials, "Fantomas" and
"Judex" near the end of World War I? I found Rohmer's "Pauline at
the Beach" enjoyable in the early 1980s. Want to see De Filippo's
"The Seven Deadly Sins"-1952; an Italian-French production; it has
7 episodes, each one illustrating a sin, plus one "unknown" epispode thrown
in. - AH
Yes I am,are there are classical for every Frenchman !
Who can not remember Franjus!
Rohmer ,long long time ago!
The seven deadly sins,when it came out ,in Nice, France and later on the tv,Idid not like it very much,as I can recall...
My love goes to : Lubitsch who bring the joy of life after so longtime passed-still-Hitchcock.the master,full of symbols,that you can look and look...Truffaut,with Jule & Jim,J. Ford for his Humanity,DeSicca..the bicyclet Thief,for the shame it generate in every father in us...F. Lang...M..Murnau...D.Lean...Einsenstein for the quality and forceful rendition,like a painter...Abel Gance...
I could go on and on...sorry...
Please don't apologise - art is passion, not sterility! I will try
and post Maltin's 3&1/2 star ratings of the French films later, but
in increments of 25 per post, too many for one. - AH
