Amelie. Quirky foreign film is right up my alley, but for whatever reason I just did not like it.

Yeah I don’t get it. Even if they continue to include non-American films, the type of movie that does well at Cannes is usually very different from the Oscars.

I liked Klara and the Sun a lot but it’s very similar in a lot of ways to Never Let Me Go, which isn’t a bad thing but keep in mind he does have a lot more range than just doing that type of sci-fi

I don’t know how I feel about how this will translate to film. Not my favorite of his books but maybe that’s just because I’m not big on fantasy.

It also took way longer than his other books for me to understand the point he was trying to make or what the themes were. Right up until almost the very end I was trying to get the metaphor and the book wasn’t that interesting until you figured it out.

Reply to Movies with directors as actors? by mywordswillgowithyou

John cassavetes

If directors who star in their own films and not just feature count, Jacques Tati. He did really interesting comedies with lots of visual gags that inspired the character for Mr Bean, and directed what is for me one of the best movies ever made in PlayTime.
