Thanks. I have a review of von Trier up now. Maybe in future more than the "shocking" mements the new glossy 'cinematic" look will be considered the most notable aspect.

No Wizard of Oz for me. I'm mostly skipping sidebar items, though I did watch the Pasolini doc, because of my interest in him and in things Italian. I wish i could see the Brit TV noir series, and somebody I know saw it and said it's great, but I didn't have time for another six hours of viewing in another venue during this period, so I'll have to wait for that.

In retrospect I tend to prefer Hironshima mon amour to Marienbad. I have not seen a lot of Resnais' films in between those and now, and some of those I have seen I have not been impressed so much by. I don't think much of Stavisky, am not a fan of Providence. I also have trouble seeing what they all have in common. Let's not forget there is a new Ravette coming to the NYFF, though it may be a minor work (short anyway).
