I already have tried it..three times...It is fascinating, but it works of a kind of vaporific on my brain.
As an exquisite homosexual,he is maybe a ladies man..
Follow Ups:
He is not for me either. However the problem with the film was not the type of the original prose. As we have seen many times before virtually anythnig can be handled to perfection if the director is up to that task. And it is not speed, as my tastes would surely indicate.It was just an ineptitude.
I got into an argument with my wife over the two lead acresses. I felt that neither ever produced any fine acting, she believed that at least Emmanuelle Béart had a not bad a shot in the Un coeur en hiver. I thought there the film led her, and not the other way around. In the Manon she did't do anything besides just being there. While many people think of her when those films are mentioned, it was due to the three great male actors that it is so memorable.
And not even my wife could provide any defense of Catherine as actress.
You should have seen the original "Manon " film !
Day and night
I have not seen the Marcel Pagnol one - is that the ONE you mean? It is apparently respected... was it horrible?
Yes I mean the pagnol one,beautiful( remember the voice of this German soldier in The lost arch,when he open the Lada..Beautiful..yes all this films with Raimu ( the inegalable-no body was ever so good in French cinema) Fernandel...do you have seen his trilogie with Marius ? Ah ! la Provence !
The best.
Things like Le Diable et les dix commandements - who can forget those. We have see quite a few of his films... fortunately. My wife would kill for another chance to see him, but we could not find any films here.I have not seen the Mairus films, that stuff is VERY hard to get here, but I shall try. Do you mean the ones from 1931?
Yes ! I have the analog records,too,wonderful.i have the films on vhs as no dvd at the moment ...
You mean the " Cure of Cucugnan"?
the one with the devil who show him the pleasure of the table ( Ah , the French! ) and he speed up reading the mess on Chritmas night ( messe de minuit )
Or " le moulin " Where the man always have the same corn in it just to have it turning....
I think we already had that matter,Un coeur en Hivert,no one had a " brillant role in this film, but the sum of it make it an enjoyable moment,a little bit of tristesse,of miss occasion we all had some day...who knows ? A quite film,I love it,for three viewing.
But not a forth one.
Well, I could certainly let you go with that, except I think her husband really controlled the film.But if you liked that one - what do you think of La Belle Noiseuse?
What a monumental exercise in indulgence that one was!
Anyone who loved Manon because she danced there naked, must see La Belle, as the is there nude for full seven hours, or so it seems.
Is it not ironic that it was actually Michel Piccoli and not the naked beauty who was a treat to the eyes?
I did not see this one,only read about it...
I almost stop to see French films after the death of F .Truffaud.But I very like the 1930 / 1954 period...
