  Paris When It Sizzles 1964

  ★★★★ Watched 29 Jun 2024

  Not a masterpiece but certainly a piece of good entertainment. The experience was greatly enhanced by seeing the film at the Cinematheque Francaise from a 35mm copy. Would be interested in seeing the French original from the 1950s.

  Red Hollywood 1996

  ★★★½ Watched 06 Feb 2024

  At times simplistic and certainly not as profound and complex as Los Angeles Plays Itself. Still, it might serve as a good introduction to Hollywood's politics during and after WW2.

  The Chase 1966

  ★★★½ Watched 30 Jan 2024

  Flawed but powerful. This must be one of the bleakest, most depressing portraits of small-town life ever filmed. Great ensemble cast and a brilliant title sequence.
