You’re right about Fellini.
Juliet of the Spirits is dazzling, and he doesn’t pause to breathe.

I just loved the colour, the faces, and the whimsy.
When I think of cinema, this is the type of stuff I want to see.
Fellini may be hard to love- a viewer has to make allowances.
We’re just supposed to indulge him in his flights of fancy.
I agree that he seems be using colour like it’s the last time he will.



I watched Gone With The Wind last night- found it a little tedious.
I see why people love it- it captures the “Old South” quite well and has decent acting.
Ultimately it’s just like Roger Ebert said it was: the rise and fall of a sexual adventuress.

Kubrick’s Killer’s Kiss is on TCM Saturday at midnight.
