Cat 5. Comedy

Stolen Kisses
François Truffaut
1968

I was not able to fit in a Truffaut in the pre-80's draft so this was necessary.

In my early 20's I watched this film about once a month, sometimes once a week. It's one of those - be it a song, a book, or a film - that's in a way a part of yourself. As if it makes up your person.

With what can only be described as cinematic grace, Truffaut's point of view slips in and out of Antoine so that something that on the surface looks like a conventional movie eventually becomes as fully and carefully populated as a Balzac novel.

Fixed Bayonets! (1951)

Cat 1. Action/War/Western
Dir: Samuel Fuller

I first came across this gem in the early 90s one night very late on cable, and it became an instant favorite. A Korean War pic set in the snow, which has always been my jam since Hoth, it has all of the trademark Fuller grit and anxiety.
