Re: Paging Victor

Hi rhiz,

Yes, all those are fine movies well worth your time and effort.

The Black Robe I loved for its thick atmosphere - you walked away quiet and mesmerized, feeling like a heavy bag was placed upon your shoulders.

The Family Resemblance is probably Klapish's strongest work, as his later Spanish Apartment was simply a fluff. But that one is great if you enjoy films about people and their reactions to events and other people... it is quiet, full of insight... like chamber music.

Several good actors in it that you will see often in other French films - if them Jean-Pierre Bacri is easily my favorite. You might check out his Taste of Others.

Underground is simply wonderful, and it is different from your typical Western European films - it is strongly Slavic. And I always consider the Montenegro by another marvelous Yugoslavian director Dusan Makavejev as its worthy pair - you must see that one, it is incredible!

Sounds like you are having good time... so keep us posted!
