Line Renaud, 1949.

Si la mort ne me hante pas, moi Line Renaud aimerait bien que ça se passe le plus doucement possible et, concrètement, j'ai commencé à prendre ses dispositions notamment côté héritage. "L'important, c'est la liberté et le contrôle de sa vie jusqu'au bout du chemin. Moi aussi, j'ai préparé chaque détail de ce que j'appelle 'l'après-moi'. Il faut rester maître de son destin, sans perdre son humour",

Driving Madeleine (15): A Tale in Pursuit of the Silver Dollar (But With Added Grit).

#onemannsmovies #filmreview of "Driving Madeleine". #DrivingMadeleine. A delightful Paris set drama for older folk (but with some bite). 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Driving Madeleine” (2023). Original title: Une belle course “Driving Madeleine” took me by surprise. When I started watching it, I thought “Oh, another gentle little movie that might bring in the ‘silver dollar’ audience”. Which is something I love seeing: the joy of going into a cinema screening in the middle of a weekday afternoon and instead of finding it…

I Can't Sleep (1994)

Movie #1,043 • part of my CLAIRE DENIS Director Focus

[Ed. Note: This is the first installment of my chronological review series on the work of French director Claire Denis at this blog; for the first five posts head here.]

I continue to find the work of Denis mostly inscrutable. I normally love a meditative slow burn. I think the multitude of perspectives, even as they intertwine, don't enhance (any of) the narrative(s), and while I certainly get that that (narrative) isn't really the point, the themes re societal outsiders — which has hardly proven to be a VERY common theme in her work already — has left me feeling a tad cold as well.

From my notes:

Were the helicopter cops the same cops that picked him up? Don't think so. Remember them? The laughing helicopter cops??? On the one hand, I appreciate just like magically thinking of something (laughing helicopter cops) and then look: that's how your movie begins? Maybe not caring or being overly concerned with why they're there (why is anything anywhere? In the movies, or otherwise). Or maybe it's the complete opposite: everyone of these decisions have been poured over and are integral to the narrative(s) and/or thematic elements. What? You don't get it? What's wrong with you? (me)

To further that point: I'm able to construct a reason for the cackling helicopter cops and what they might represent, and I legitimately like the absurdism in starting your film with them. I think I'm simply having some "A to B" issues with digesting her work that I don't typically have with similar, mostly more contemporary "slow burns" (and I'm not sure why).

I can definitely see reaching a point in her filmography where the light clicks on (as I WANT to like these movies more than I have thus far), but I'm just not there yet.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️¼

Every other Friday I'll be reviewing a Claire Denis film. Tune in two weeks time for my take on US Go Home (1994).

On veut des noms – Jean-Paul Clair (de Queuille Henri à Line Renaud)

Q QUEUILLE Henri (1884-1970) : Homme politique, ministre sous la IIIème et IVème République, qui savait de quoi il parlait quand il disait : « La politique, ce n’est pas de résoudre des problèmes, c’est de faire taire ceux qui les posent. » Et dans le même ordre d’idée : « Il n’est pas de problème dont une absence de solution ne puisse pas venir à bout. » Il parraina l’entrée en politique d’un…

Lord Huron's embryonic stage

Among the gems unearthed in the course of daughter Caitlin’s purge (see Monday’s blog) were two T-shirts from the band Razor Dave - precursor to Lord Huron.

Three members of the ska-punk ensemble - our own Benjamin, Tom Renaud and Mark Barry - now form the core of LH, along with Miguel Briseño

While still in high school, the Razor Dave guys played local clubs, parties, etc. around mid-Michigan.

In case you can't make it out, the shirt on the right says: "It's so screwed up I gotta try and make sense of this mess ... I can't just fall in line. I'll end up like all the rest ..."

A rock & roll manifesto!
