  Did we think “wow so subtle” or the fucking opposite!

  But they have fun. We like them. Good pleasure.

  Contempt 1963

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Nov 2023

  “Naturally, because in the script it is written, and on the screen it's pictures.”

  “When it comes to making movies dreams aren’t enough.”
  
  Been thinking a lot about the intersection of theater and film, and separately about what it takes both artistically and financially to make a complete work of art. Theatre and film both share a need for an audience and as the scale of your dream increases so must the audience. To play at the level of the gods (to play at the level where we can create gods) requires a lot. 

  Excited to find funding. Excited to make theater. Excited for Greek Tragedy.

  Monsieur Hulot's Holiday 1953

  ★★★★ Watched 20 Sep 2021 1

  Gags like poetry. Frames like paintings.

  All I want to do in life is be happy and be silly. I don’t want to be offensive or hurt people’s feelings. Just silly. Everyone silly and happy. It doesn’t take many words.

  Tati very strongly pulls from schools of clowning. He embodies the adage “always have a problem”. 

  “Uhh how much of this film was ADR?”
