Classics!

Although, one of these is decidedly better than the other.

Some Herzog for the weekend.

His debut



The Kinksi collaboration that deserves more love



The Les Blank film that may be better than Herzog's

Speaking of Sylvia Kristel, I couldn't find the ones she did with Robbe-Grillet or Borowczyk, but here's an interesting one.  May have to sign in for it, but that just means it's sexy.

Alice or the Last Escapade (Claude Chabrol)



And some other somewhat random and possibly sexy Italian films.






A Lizard in Woman's Skin (Lucio Fulci)

I watched this a few years ago. It's probably less sexy than the age-lock suggests, but it has Kristel walking around creepy corridors so I enjoyed it. But Chabrol has rarely worked for me, so others may get different mileage out of it.

I was going to watch this tonight.

Chabrol's alright but a little dry, definitely a mid-tier French director.  He wouldn't be a director that I would consider for what the Wiki description of the film suggests.  But in a very French way, his best films seem to have the talent of casting superb actresses.

A good companion for the George Romero film above is Tobe Hooper's first hippie movie, the long-lost Eggshells.

I get why Chabrol makes everyone politely nod their head in vague appreciation, but it is still nonetheless shameful how little the world cares about him. Or cares a little (which is almost worse)

Out of all the French directors who emerged around this time, it's possible the only two I would put above him would be Godard and Bresson. Probably Rohmer too.

He's the kind of director, like Altman, like De Palma, that even when he is failing I'm interested. A feat I consider being worth the highest of respect.And, now that I'm thinking of it, is possibly the most complimentary thing I could ever even think to say about anything.

Thank you, Rock.  This was special.

I didn't mean to dump on the guy.  I just don't put him on the scale with Malle, Rivette or Melville, or Rohmer now that you mention it.  This could be to my having not seen a lot of his 60s films.  I still mentally represent him by things I remember like L'Enfer or La Ceremonie, which are a bit later.  Or Girl Cut in Two.  Stuff like that.  If it makes you feel better, I was impressed with the above Alice, which is the kind of symbolic non-linear art film that I wouldn't have given him credit for prior.

I don't mean to step on Rock's post too much, but here's an alternate version.  It actually appears to me to be the exact same rip of Strangler in the Swamp, with its minor issues with brittle sound, but adds a lot of fun extra stuff in a faux-drive-in bill, hence appro.  Yes, it would be nice to fine a pristine print from the negative (if it still exists), but there's also a fondness to the cathode-glow of a late-night broadcast that's fitting as well.  And if you have to watch the compact 58 minute feature twice, well, I suppose you'll just have to enjoy it even more.
