Abraca-Pocus! and Raging Kraut rise to the challenge!Īnd then. Will the veil mystery of the Meatriarch be lifted if only a little? Knowing the gravity of a triple-dog dare, my own pics arive in town in the next couple days.Īnd then. Funkalicious upholds the honour of American bloggers while Taylor & Company offers a spirited riposte (and this link round-up, thanks!) and comment from The Tiger in Winter holds the promise of more blogger high school photos to come. Paul Jané's rejoinder was a case of special pleading (having been sent to that Swiss boarding school all the cool kids from Genoa City end up at). Bruce Gottfred wins major respect by observing not only the letter but the spirit of the challenge. Finally, there are stunning views of Paris, a city that, inspite of my repeated criticism of the French government, remains one of my favourite places in the world.Ī defence of the honour of Avril Lavigne lead to an unfortunate triple-dog dare. Except in Yamasaki the people actually are running along the face of walls, climbing 27 story buildings and so forth. This is more than made up for by astonishing daring do and athleticism some of which was clearly cribbed by the second Matrix film. Yamakasi has a thin plot but so do most Robin Hood stories. Always leaping out the window instead of taking the stairs. I am left with the sense these guys would be irritating to hang out with. This time with the benefit of proper cinematography and Luc Besson direction. I have been watching parkour ( street climbing) footage again. The translation of it would be "strong body, strong spirit, strong man." This basically, would be the underlining theme throughout "Yamakasi." Needless to say this is not a family film.Ĭontrary to popular belief, the word, "Yamakasi," isn't Japanese in origin, but comes from the language of Lingala, mostly used in Zaire and Congo. Violaine is quite capable of taking of herself. Don't believe her damsel in distress pose in the above photo. Of course, I would watch Argento reading the phone book so there is little point in mistaking my zombie-like devotion for a film review.

Somewhere between de Caunes' direction and Argento's every smoldering move this movie manages to invent a new variation in the theme of vampire. When Antoine attempts getting into the swanky soiree, he claims his friend "Jordan" has invited him.Īntoine de Caunes used to co-host Eurotrash with Jean-Paul Gaultier, a show that defined the English view of the French by pretending to be a French show about England. After outsmarting a bouncer at an exclusive club in town, he gets a tip from another friend, Etienne (Gerard Lanvin), about a new party in the know. Antoine (Guillaume Canet) is a layabout slacker who lives in a lounge at a health club where a friend lets him stay. And smoking.įormer French television star Antoine de Caunes turns his sights on the horror genre in his first feature in this goth comedy about trendy nightlife and new-millennium vogue. And of course it is lovely to watch Argento speaking Italian. A grand-daughter (almost) helping her slightly dotty grand-dad tie his tie is the sort of schmaltz that sucks me in. I had a hard time figuring out why, for example, director Peter del Monte wanted it to look like it was shot on a Super 8.
But it is clearly a recurring trope so it does not surprise me when seemingly irrelevent phone bickering breaks out.Ĭompagna di viaggio is not inexplicable in the same way. Every French film I have watched this year has included an argument about phone etiquette.
It is a good thing I read the back of the dvd box before watching Compagna di viaggio ( Travelling Companion) or I would have had no idea what was going on. Italian Cinema Week at the Flea™ continues with a proper Italian film. Asia is very wild, violent and spiritual, all at the same time
