In Reply to: Re: George Clooney as Napoleon / God beware! Worse would be Gibson, of course.... posted by patrickU on April 11, 2004 at 06:25:54:
Watching Clooney will probably be a masochistic exercise, but I think I am feeling strong enough to tackle it. I didn't read the Story of O... sorry...I haven't seen the Gance's Beethoven, it is available on a DVD - is it worth of getting? I can get a used one for $20, it seems.
Which other Gance's works you consider noteworthy? It maybe that Napoleon is his only work I know. It is nearly impossible to find him here, I checked his filography and found only J'accuse! available in the US, besides the Beethoven. Was it good?
Follow Ups:
It will be your loss...But if you feel strong...
Lucrèce Borgia
Beethoven
A must...................!
I know of " La Tour de Nesle " saw it as a kid ( was very shocking at the time because of its erotism.)
" J´Accuse " was filmed twice I just saw. But I can´t remmenber seing it. At school in France we had every now and then a film to look at. It was the best I can remember of this unprecious time....
Just ordered the Beethoven, J'Accuse and... Story of O. The book was just $4.73... he-he... then went back and added Borgia - how could I pass on a name like that?
Story of Ô...was the kind of book we passed under the table at school, with time it shows some....stains...How should I say..from hand to hand..It was the most erotical book. and never did ( I tried..) I found something in this magnitude...How it now stands? Anayway it is the most famous French book in his own right.
For the films you won´t regret it and they have a right to be in your video collection.
Let me know about " J´Accuse ".
Thank you.
We didn't have access to books like that back then... so we had to open my friend father's bookcase and "borrow" his "Suxual Frigidity in Women"... an early 20th century scientific treatise. So don't talk to me of no stains! It will be interesting to give the book a try now, to see how it would hold against things like MTV and some movies in our modern times. I recently looked again at Justine, and it was like watching a PG-rated film.
How was " Justine " beside your rating? You mean the Cukor one, do you?
No, the de Sade's book.

Well, someone left it on the bathroom floor next to the Star magazine... so I picked it up... just to refresh my memory... honest!
