SHIPOOPI
« on: September 04, 2008, 12:08:36 AM »
Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a Shipoopi vibe, and now it's time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently singing ShiMOOpi.

A few of my favorite foreign films:

France - The Umbrellas Of Cherbourg, The Young Girls of Rochefort, Eyes Without A Face, The Soft Skin, all of Patrice Leconte's films, L'Appartement, Bob Le Flambeur and other Jean-Pierre Melville films, Sundays and Cybele, That Man From Rio - I could go on for days.

Japan - High and Low, The Bad Sleep Well, Stray Dog, Ikiru, Goyokin, and all of Ozu.  Along with Gojira and many other sci-fi films, and many others.

Italy - The Bicycle Thief, Rififfi, Big Deal On Madonna Street, all of Sergio Leone, and many peplums, especially Hercules and Hercules Unchained.

England - all of Powell and Pressburger and way too many others to name - although I'll chime in during the day.

And the word of the day is: HAPTIC!
HAPTIC was a very strange play by Tom Stoppard, all about spies and Heisenberg's uncertainity principle, featuring an audience participation sequence where the female lead (originally played by Felicity Kendall) was blindfolded and asked to tell everything she could about a couple of audience members who had been brought on-stage by feeling them up.  Hilarity ensued.

Der Brucer doesn't like many foreign films.  He finds all that reading distracting.   :-\

But, from my days pre-der B, when I was living in Hollywood, I remember:

Allegro Non Troppo
Taxi Zum Klo
and a pair of French comedies,
Pardon Mon Affaire and Pardon Mon Affaire, Too, which in France were known by their original titles, Un Elephant Ca Trompe Enormement and Nous Irons Tous au Paradis.

Good morning, all! My computer did not want to go near HHW this morning and I've been trying for over 30 minutes to enter the site.  So here I am.

I have mostly household errands to run this morning before the temperature goes very high. After that some editing on a Jerome Moross score and back to the Lady and her slipper.

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I am already in midtown. It was one of those mornings where I knew that if I didn't get out of bed when my alarm went off I would have snoozed and snoozed and snoozed. So, since I ended up getting a sort of head start this morning, I also went ahead and headed downtown, and have just treated myself to a nice breakfast (egg white omelet with wheat toast).

As for the Topic of the Day...

Cinema Paradiso
Like Water for Chocolate
*Where is Marco Leonardi these days anyhow?

Manon of the Spring
Jean de Florette

"La Lectrice" (which I keep hoping to find on DVD some day.  The scene where she is reading Lewis Carroll while having "intimate relations" is strange and hysterical - and strangely apropos too. The movie is also a loving tribute to reading and readers ("lectrices")).
 
Un Coeur en Hiver
