Wow, this is one of my favorite movies now. I was right about watching it in the theater (on film)… really helped see everything properly. More important, possibly, was seeing it for a second time, already knowing the pace and the organization of story (such as there is a story), being able to sit back and enjoy.<\/p>\n
First third (?) of the movie is an architectural dream, all buildings and structure and angles, beautiful and disorienting. Whole movie is concerned with structure and glass.<\/p>\n
Funny, but not punchline-funny so much as enjoyable and light, building up towards the end of the crazy restaurant sequence when suddenly humor’s flying from all directions.<\/p>\n
I feel like I “got it” this time, but also feel like I missed a lot. Not in a bad way, more in a “could see this again and again” way.<\/p>\n
I’d thought Mr. Hulot wasn’t in this one but of course he is. What was I thinking of… Parade<\/em>?<\/p>\n Katy, Jimmy, Misty, even Adam liked it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow, this is one of my favorite movies now.
