MISTER LONLEY di Harmony Korine (2007)
Harmony Korine dirige il suo film più delicato ed esteticamente "pulito", ma non meno doloroso e privo di quel nichilismo prepotente che contraddistingue il suo cinema, i suoi sosia sono dei veri e propri "freaks" che potrebbero essere i ritratti di una fotografia di Diane Arbus... https://www.vaevedi.it/2021/09/mister-lonely-2017.html

I broke down. No regrets. #DenisLavant #LeosCarax

Claire Denis loosely adapts Melville's Billy Budd- a story about the human desire to destroy something pure and beautiful, with a sensual, languid imagery. Arid, rocky Djibouti backdrop clashes with smooth, muscular bodies of young Legionnaires as they carry on their boring daily routines with no real enemies in sight. Galoup, a seasoned military man takes an immediate dislike to a beautiful, righteous new recruit Sentain and looks for excuses to destroy him. His feelings are mixture of desire, jealousy and envy. It's Lavant's physicality on full display here. His pockmarked face and athleticism dominate the screen. I thought Galoup's narration was unnecessary at first since it doesn't add anything much to the plot. Then again, Denis has little concerns for that. On this viewing, I can see how it accentuates Galoup's loneliness and isolation. The ending is definitely my favorite movie ending of all time.

My favorite film of all time. Do I care about it ending with an upbeat, overly optimistic mood? Not really. But whenever I defend cinema as an artistic medium against literature or music, I usually mention Les amants du pont-neuf. The film is really one of a kind- the energy, the physicality of it will never be duplicated in cinema or in any other form. #leoscarax #juliettebinoche #denislavant #lesamantsdupontneuf #loversonthebridge

Holy Motors marks a comeback of a major French auteur. It was very disconcerting to see him all broken up & bitter at a Q&A session for an omnibus film, Tokyo! He was having a hard time financing any of his projects. Holy Motors is a product of a frustrated artist finding ways to express himself under difficult financial circumstances. Its disjointed, episodic narrative reflects that. It's vastly different from his earlier work but just as mesmerizing nonetheless. #LeosCarax #DenisLavant

Boy Meets Girl (1984) - Carax
Once tauted as Godard heir apparent, Carax, (real name Alex Descas), taking on His idol’s playfulness plus the hopeless romanticism, made this stunning debut, Boy Meets Girl. The lyricism, the heartbreak, the youth…
At this point, I’m not even copying and pasting what I wrote long ago. I’m doing freehand on my phone out of memories…just to let you guys know.

Mauvais sang (1986) - Leos Carax
Lavant embodying its exuberance and devastation with his acrobatic skills, no one did first love and its heartbreak like Carax in his first three films. Oh man, this film is so dear to my heart.
