The Silver Screen Oasis

Hopefully it'll come up again in the sale.

I'm so excited!

Okay -- now you're making me want to plug in my copy for a re-watch.

I'm confident that you will not be disappointed.

It was on sale when I saw it, but I didn't have the money. looks like it's on sale still but not as low as when I looked before.

I am most happy about this one being on the sched. Now to get TCM to show Zero de Conduite and A Propos de Nice.

ChiO absolutivlly heaped praise on "L'Atalante" with:
Let's see...some words that come to mind: Masterpiece. Brilliant. Best French film ever made (maybe not, but close enough for government work).

Well. I see I must circle the date!

We'll watch together, us Vigo newbies, Maven. Maybe he'll give you ideas for your film-making.

Mmmmm, ideas...good! I could use 'em.

I don't know about ideas for your filmmaking, Theresa. But, for me, L'Atalante is one of the most beautiful movies ever! If you get to see it, let me know what you think.

My DVR is going to be busy ... again this Month!

SIMON OF THE DESERT and MASTER OF THE HOUSE should not be missed.

Amazing to think that Dreyer, by 1925 when MASTER OF THE HOUSE was released, was at the half-way point in his career. He had made seven features, starting in 1919, up to then. After 1925, he directed only seven more feature films, the last being in 1964...and five of those are among the finest films ever made in my view. He's second only to Welles in my Directors Pantheon.

Kingrat, days from now, when you review History is Made at Night, and I know you will....be kind....

This one is quirky but if you can let it wash over you, you'll never forget certain moments in this film. I'm so glad that you'll be seeing this on TCM since most prints are far poorer than the one they have shown in the past.
