This moment in Louis Malle's film makes me go back to my kindle

[image]

Back in the stone age they had to use flashlights to read in the dark, talk about rough!!!

if i have energy i'll do a good tv movie tonight.

All movies started on Criterion Channel will eventually be finished, but tonight i'm not feeling the kino magic, it's i believe the need to see one from my own collection, for example i LOVE a good Bergman b/w masterpiece, last one was Through a Glass Darkly, beginning to end masterful, the ending medium close up of the son who says Papa just spoke to me, and a elegant fade to black immediately after. Knowing the director had papa issues, it means so much, he put so much of himself in his art, and made it beautiful, he likened himself to a artisan someone who makes tables for instance, his job was to make a good product, and is why his films are generally regarded so highly, his craftsmanship was very high.

I'm trying to remember any Malle I've seen and hardly can. Stopped watching films regularly a long time ago. I did rewatch Persona a few years ago (Bergman, of course, not Malle).

@PhilDeep I hear ya, it's often a struggle to watch things these days. I hope to see Malle's The Fire Within soon, as it purports to be a depressing movie about alcoholism, right up my alley!!

@SW-User You've seen "Leaving Las Vegas" then?

@PhilDeep Yes! It's the benchmark of this kind.

@SW-User I thought it was incredible, when I saw it back in cinemas on first release. Need to go give my DVD of it another look. I don't think I've watched it in these last ten-to-fifteen years!

@PhilDeep Cage would really get plastered for that role. I saw it before becoming a cinephile, it stays with ya!!
