I do not know your understandind about " cinema verité " but how did your mind up that I do love it..In fact I can not stand it...What is MY understanding...Well, picture that are without any script or confuse one ( some Goddard ) it has nothing to do with " realist " or neo realist ( like many italians films ) Short the they are mostly boring.
As for Mrs. Muir do we not ALL live with gost or with the idea we make up from our loves one or friends ? So the Harrison character is more " real " than most of so-called " living "and again the over romantic music is wonderful ( as in Hitch " Spellbound -he hates it..)
Truly & Madly & deeply I did not see.
And I did not ( if I remember well ) love the "Unfaithfully "...
And yes I love the Donat you cited.
The German films ? well we had some discussion here on it...
I do not love them in general.
But the before war ( Lang ect ) where pure genius and inspired ALL the Wells and Hitch.....
Follow Ups:
patrickU,My mistake regarding cinema verite- I was thinking of movies that tend more towards a more natural, sometimes improvised and less rigid or contrived dialogue and styles.
Interesting obsevation of Harrison in "G&MM"- yes, we definitely add a certain amount out of memory, fantasy, and desire into our relationships.
I liked "unfaithfully Yours" I suppose becuase of the way Harrison's character sustained the high energy of his rage and passion and is shown transferring it into his art, and in dissappating the unfocussed, irrational end of it, comes back to his wife with even greater strength.
German film, yes I like the Murnau, Lang generation more than most of the later German directors- though Herzog is interesting, there are still often breaks in concentration and the intensity he wants is lost.
Cheers,
No, for me Herzog just try too hard and it is perceptible, but where I did love " sexy rexy "is in the most flamboyand role of all ( of this kind ) I speak of Pygmalion better know as " My Fair Lady ".
What a pleasure. Perfect as human can do.
Anyway almost all the good German directors ( Berlin ) did leave Germany before the war and became American...directors...or sceenwriters...or both like Wider.Bonjour salut,
P.
I will take another look at "Unfaithfully " when I come across....
