Living like a primate walled in solitude, Joseph, the train cleaner, goes home on a rainy night. On a sidewalk, a human form lies in blood and mud. Joseph lifts this injured body like a feather, takes it home, nurses it and “repairs” it with skillful hands. The young woman recovers her strenght and becomes the “shining part” of his poor existence. Until the day where…

Primate muré dans sa solitude, Joseph, le laveur de trains, rentre chez lui par une nuit pluvieuse. Sur un trottoir, une forme git dans le sang et la boue. Joseph soulève ce corps blessé comme une plume, l’emporte chez lui, le soigne et le “répare” de ses mains habiles. La jeune femme reprend des forces et devient la “parcelle brillante” de sa pauvre existence. Jusqu’au jour où…

Quote:
It is based on the short story by Theodore Sturgeon, Bright Segment. In his 1984 collection Alien Cargo, Sturgeon said of “Bright Segment”: Surely one of the most powerful stories I have ever written. This was made into a 58-minute TV film in France, with Gert (Goldfinger) Frobe cast as the old man, and doing an extraordinary piece of acting. Further, the French shot it almost exactly the way I wrote it, and I wrote it despairing that it could not be filmed; American TV could never (1955) handle that much blood and that much skin. I wish you could see it. I own the only print in North America, but can’t use it for admission or release it to net or cable.

The post Christian de Chalonge – “Histoires insolites” Parcelle brillante (1974) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

This is an affecting story about a father’s attempts to mend the breaches in the relationship between himself and his 10-year-old daughter. Emmanuel (Sami Frey) is the father of Elise (Mara Goyet) by his first marriage, and the stepfather of an older daughter by his second marriage. He tries to make the best of both family relationships by taking off to visit his young daughter on the weekends, but that only makes his new family a little jealous – especially his stepdaughter. She herself is confused about her own relationship with him. After a particularly emotional send-off one weekend, Emmanuel and Elise take a trip from the south of France into Spain, working on a film project. Through a series of round-about conversations, Emmanuel manages to open up a few channels of communication with Elise – channels that expand even wider when he uses the technique of talking into her video camera to express thoughts and feelings that otherwise would have remained hidden.

In the words of the director, a movie about ‘the colonizers in the view of the colonized’, the movie presents a series of disconnected happenings throughout Europe and Brazil emphasizing the perception of human life as trance-like experiences and thus offering a view of the human history as a connection of symbolic behavior.

Quote:
Based on Arrabal’s play of the same name, Car Cemetery is sort of an eighties punk rock version of the Christ story. We follow the life of a messianic figure from birth through to his death although instead of taking place in and around the Middle East it’s set in a post apocalyptic garbage dump full of rusty, broken down cars and it’s populated by various degenerates – pimps, prostitutes, and other nefarious types.

Our messiah this time around is named Emanou (Alain Bashung) and his goal is to put on a rock concert for the citizens of the junkyard into which he was born. Of course, the powers that be see him as a threat and while he does go around making the world around him a better place, eventually he is betrayed and his people turn on him.

Those more familiar with Arrabal’s earlier efforts will feel right at home with this picture. It lacks much of the violence that made films like Viva La Meurte as shocking and powerful as they are but it’s definitely a showcase for Arrabal’s penchant for the bizarre. The plot is pretty basic and it’s really just made up of a series of set pieces lifted from The Bible, but he puts enough of his own spin on it that it’s always interesting and just unfamiliar enough that you’ll want to see how it plays out. On a visual level the film feels a bit dated and its eighties roots and heritage show through in the fashions, hairstyles and mannerisms (80s punk fashion hasn’t aged nearly as well as 70s punk fashion has) but that doesn’t really hurt the film much, it simply labels it as a product of its time.

There doesn’t really seem to be much of a point to the picture, instead it feels like a strange piece of art for art’s sake, but for some that’ll be reason enough. The sets look very stagey and you definitely feel as if you’re watching a play more so than a movie but Bashung’s performance as the savior of the trash heap is a good one. There’s plenty of social commentary to feast on and no shortage of bizarre visuals and imagery to enjoy and this is by far the most interesting film in the set.

PLOT: In 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her (2 ou 3 choses que je sais d’elle), Jean-Luc Godard beckons us ever closer, whispering in our ears as narrator. About what? Money, sex, fashion, the city, love, language, war: in a word, everything. Among the legendary French filmmaker’s finest achievements, the film takes as its ostensible subject the daily life of Juliette Janson (Marina Vlady), a housewife from the Paris suburbs who prostitutes herself for extra money. Yet this is only a template for Godard to spin off into provocative philosophical tangents and gorgeous images. 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her is perhaps Godard’s most revelatory look at consumer culture, shot in ravishing widescreen color by Raoul Coutard.

Quote:
After returning to Los Angeles from France in 1979, Agnès Varda created this kaleidoscopic documentary about the striking murals that decorate the city. Bursting with color and vitality, Mur Murs is as much an invigorating study of community and diversity as it is an essential catalog of unusual public art.
