If you get the chance check out Bob Le Flambeur. 1956. Predates the French New Wave by 4 years and is one of the coolest films I have ever seen. Rififfi is also a fantastic heist movie with it's near 30 min heist scene filmed in almost total silence. Superb film.

I shall. Melville is one of the rare French directors that I already had the privilege to watch some of their works.

The patter in Anchorman is impeccable.

la marseillaise is another good, underseen renoir that is actually my favorite film of his. he made it just before la regle de jeu--it's interesting to see how his style developed from this film to rules of the game, which practically revolutionized cinema. it's a historical film about the revolution, so an interest in french history would probably increase your enjoyment of the film, but it's great nonetheless. you can definitely begin to see the interest in small detail--facial expressions, slight movements, side conversations--that flourished in rules of the game and make it such a rich film to experience. renoir became a master at integrating these details and creating living social worlds for his characters and his style applies well to his interpretation of the many facets of the revolution.

Really good. Subtitles didn't bother me at all. In fact, it allowed me and my friends to talk during the movie, which was a plus haha...

Political undertones were preachy and obvious, and there never really was much of a plot or "problem" to solve. All animated films need a great villain and this one didn't have one. Totally overrated...

i agree with that. it also bored me to tears.

thats not true:mad:

Which part? Or both?
