But seriously, I think that I'd like to be more up to date on some newer films ... I've never seen a Michael Heneke, for instance, so I didn't know what all the brew-ha-ha was all about over <i>Funny Games</i>. It all kind of evens out, I think. Thanks for the comments, my friend.

Here I am, minding my own business, reading some film blogs, thinking I'm somewhat "up to date" on my film viewing and BAM! I get hit with another gem like this. Thanks a lot. Now I have to put this one on my list of things to see, along with any number of other films you've suggested. :) What a gorgeous tracking shot. Genius? I think so. I have to get studied up on my Renoir. My film vocabulary is sadly lacking in terms of his films. Thanks for the clip. Sometimes, Rick, I hate you.

I will be buying the Criterion version, which has some nice extras, and it's one of their lower-tier titles as well. I've got <i>French Can Can</i> here at home; it's from his post-Hollywood period, and in color. I'm gonna see it in the next couple of days. Thanks for the comment, Ibetolis.

I've been meaning to see this film for what feels like forever and this has wet my appetite even more. Great post, now I'm off to watch the next one. Stunning.

There are more to be had from this period from Netflix, but not nearly all. As for THIS aging punk, I think I need to see more spaghetti westerns.

I think I've seen RULES OF THE GAME and GRAND ILLUSION, but at the time I was a young punk, obsessed with spaghetti westerns. Now I'm an older, more thoughful punk, still obsessed with spaghetti westerns. Really, though. The clip above is a great sequence. Such gorgeous photography. Thanks for sharing!
