SUBLIME CINEMA #661 - THE FRENCH CONNECTION

RIP William Friedkin. This is one of the most important films of the 70's and New Hollywood cinema, when American directors started taking fearless approaches to capturing the grit, bleakness and paranoia of the era, often in a style of unvarnished realism. I missed this entry because Friedkin had done so many great films, even later in his career, that this one is almost obvious.

I have the Headcanon that Chase would love “The French Connection”

Rest in peace, William Friedkin (1935-2023).

Farewell to actor Tony Lo Bianco (19 October 1936 – 11 January 2024), who’s died aged 87. His obituaries are inevitably citing The French Connection (1971) as his most famous work, but I treasure his simultaneously sexy and repellent performance as the conman who teams up with Shirley Stoler as the titular homicidal duo in the disturbing 1970 cult shocker The Honeymoon Killers. (The first time I ever saw this twisted black comedy would have been at the glorious, much-missed Scala Cinema in Kings Cross in the early nineties. It left an indelible impression!). Lo Bianco’s gigolo Ray is a swarthy and manipulative charmer with a thick Spanish accent, a toupée and Latin rhythm in his hips. (As a bonus, we get a fleeting glimpse of Lo Bianco’s pert naked cafe con leche butt!). Now I definitely need to seek out his other cult movie entry, God Told Me To (1976). Read more here.
