There’s something to this Etaix rediscovery after all. This is a disarmingly funny series of shorts cobbled together into a feature – I figured it’d make for a good Etaix intro. I’ve seen him as an actor recently in Le Havre<\/a><\/em>, and he looks not entirely different 45 years earlier. Cowriter Jean-Claude Carriere also worked on Bunuel’s late films<\/p>\n

DCairns: “Into a perfect, crisp frame steps a man who is as elegant and sharp as his own composition and who moves in rhythm with the film around him, every changing angle of his body a graphic\/poetic statement. You may mistake his silhouette for another’s\u2014but not when it moves. And movement is his art form.”<\/p>\n

Insomnia<\/strong>
\nIn color, Etaix stays awake reading a vampire novel, seen in b\/w episodes, as his wife sleeps next to him. The stories start to affect each other, culminating in the wife becoming a vampire.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Movies<\/strong>
\n1960’s version of the annoyances encountered when going out to the movies – things were difficult even before cell phones. This turns into an extended advertising parody.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As Long As You’ve Got Your Health<\/strong>
\nA wide view of bustling city life – “everyone’s nerves are constantly shot”. Crowds, traffic, noise, pollution, construction conspire to make living hell. It seems more apocalyptically negative now than it did while watching it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Into The Woods No More<\/strong>
\nSepia-toned segment where a hunter keeps annoying a farmer, who thinks a nearby picnicking couple is to blame for his troubles.<\/p>\n
