An absurdly great short by an absurdly great Spanish filmmaker.
Because it's a beauty and a joy, just like the city.
Always felt Spike Lee's Malcolm X had the best opening credits sequence in history. Worth a rewatch in light of past week (or 30 wks).
My favorite Jerry Lewis. He & Tashlin were a dream combo: as anarchic & form-crazed as Godard.
I tried a bunch, in Guy&Madeline, to create images like this movie's: Sweet Love, Bitter (Herb Danska, 1967) starring the great Dick Gregory
Growing up I watched de Funès movies on a loop. La Grande Vadrouille (Gérard Oury, 1966) is imo the greatest wartime comedy ever made.
Touches on nukes, US-v-Russia, Confed monuments & Civil War legacy, 32 yrs ago. It's great.
Still on topic but also to wash the taste out of my mouth: Frederick Wiseman's 1969 Law & Order is an utter masterpiece. One of his best.
Still one of the greatest images ever captured
The horror (and the beauty) of evil run amok. A great 21st-century version that comes to mind is the cop car shot in The Dark Knight.
I tried (and failed) to mimic Killer of Sheep and Cléo de 5 à 7 in Guy&Madeline

Watched French Connection on a loop when making Whiplash
Am doing the same with Donald Sutherland's performance in Ordinary People for the movie I'm doing now.
