Bressons DAMES DU BOIS DE BOULOGNE (1945) is a recent one I saw where he proves surprisingly good at making an Ophuls type dark romance/melodrama https://twitter.com/MichaelVarrati/status/1250960917321273344">https://twitter.com/MichaelVa...
Altman& #39;s COME BACK TO THE FIVE AND DIME, JIMMY DEAN, JIMMY DEAN (1982) too, it edges out Nashville for my favourite from him
Fritz Lang& #39;s THE BLUE GARDENIA (1953), Joseph Mankiewiczs THE HONEY POT (1967), Dreyers GERTRUD (1964), Ernst Lubitschs ANGEL (1937)... etc
Marlon Brando& #39;s directorial one-off, ONE-EYED JACKS (1961) seems to have fallen a little by the wayside but I know it has its following and I& #39;m amongst them despite usually being a Brando skeptic... Visually gorgeous beach western with lots of weird psychosexual undertones
FAMILY PLOT (1976) appreciation tweet
this is lowkey such a great lazy afternoon movie
continuing this thread with Renoir& #39;s LA NUIT DU CARREFOUR (1932), which is half paranoid proto-noir atmosphere chiller and half the template for Bela Tarr& #39;s career... convinced this thing would be a cult classic if it were more readily available
