I’m getting bad about recording the movies I’ve been watching, so I’ll do a single post and just add to it throughout June…

La promesse (1996) … Dardenne brothers, depressing AF, quit at midpoint.

Good Morning (1959) … Ozu, post-war Japan comedy? … paused at 30 min mark.

Nashville (1975) … Robert Altman … 160 minutes long, which would normally outrage me, but I was so intrigued and amused by this wackiness that I give this my highest rating, four stars, everyone should see this movie.

Il posto (1961) … may be a perfect movie, a masterpiece… I don’t use these terms lightly … beautiful, funny, deeply sad … I loved it. Four stars. And of course a running time under 100 minutes.

Zabriskie Point (1970) … Antonioni, I don’t think I’ve liked a single movie he ever made … saw this 30 years ago probably and forgot how bad it is … dirty hippie cop killer free love writhing anti-capitalist bodies in the 1970 Death Valley desert … it’s true that Daria Halprin was a blue-eyed Jewish beauty and that was a fantastic short green dress with Injun bead belt she wore .. this is a 2 or 2.5 stars, don’t see it.
