Screening of Marwencol at the Verge tonight. 7:30. Liv and I visited Skinner in his studio last night to talk about the panel discussion. What an amazing guy. He has a lot to say, and I'm sure he will say some of it tonight.
Man, all this stuff going on and the French Film Festival starts this weekend, too. I love the poster that Dane H. designed. I know no one is reading this because you are all nattering on facebook, but does anyone have any recs for must-sees? I've seen Pierrot le fou. What about the Jacques Demy movie? I am not a big fan of French New Wave. I don't get it.

The Jacqes Demy is great, if you like over the top French pop musicals. It's one of my favs. I don't think he is technically French New Wave. He and his wife Agnes Varda were making films at the same time, I think and I am probably wrong, they were called Left Bank film makers. They are a lot warmer than the New Wave directors.
Watch this, I love it, but it may be too over the top for some.

Oh and they don't have the same last name, but Francis Delormac is Catherine Deneuve's sister who died in a car crash a few years later.
i really don't know what it is about the French and car crashes.
I'm guessing it's because they drive like maniacs.
