L’armée des ombres (army of shadows), Jean-Pierre Melville, 1969

Durant la 2ème guerre mondiale se forme un groupe de résistants français. Un film assez sombre tant au sens propre qu’au sens figuré. Mais c’est assez bizarre, des scènes sont tirées en longueur sans que j’y ai vu de raison particulière, ce qui nous donne au final un film de 2h30.

During WWII, the story of a group of French resistant fighters. A dark movie, both in the proper sense and in the figurative sense. Some scenes seem to be drawn-out without any reason, giving in the end a running time of 2h30.

Sight & Sound, Inspired List (2022)

Below are my selections for a Sight & Sound-inspired top 10 list. It’s a variation of the list that focuses on what are both (in my opinion) important works in the history of world cinema, and the significance the films had on me, serving as chief inspirations to become a filmmaker and attempting to make my own short & feature works. This list is, of course, purely subjective though I do welcome conversation. Unranked, chronological order:

The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) dir. Carl Th. Dreyer

The Seventh Seal (1957) dir. Ingmar Berman

Army of Shadows (1969) dir. Jean-Pierre Melville

The Godfather: Part I (1972) dir. Francis Ford Coppola

Barry Lyndon (1975) dir. Stanley Kubrick

Raging Bull (1980) dir. Martin Scorsese

sex, lies, and videotape (1989) dir. Steven Soderbergh

Beau Travail (1999) dir. Claire Denis

All About My Mother (1999) dir. Pedro Almodóvar

Mulholland Dr. (2001) dir. David Lynch

A lot more contemporary works than I’d imagine, but I do think these films build from their predecessors in unique, genre-clashing ways to progress the medium forward to exciting places.

Army of Shadows (Jean-Pierre Melville, 1969) Cast: Lino Ventura, Paul Meurisse, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Simone Signoret, Claude Mann, Paul Crauchet, Christian Barbier, Serge Reggiani, André Dewavrin, Alain Dekok, Alain Mottet, Alain Libolt, Jean-Marie Robain. Screenplay: Jean-Pierre Melville, based on a novel by Joseph Kessel. Cinematography: Pierre Lhomme, Walter Wottitz. Production design: Théobald Meurisse. Film editing: Françoise Bonnot. Music: Éric Demarsan. The stoic restraint that pervades Army of Shadows extends to the images provided by the credited cinematographers, Pierre Lhomme and Walter Wottitz. For a long time I wasn't really sure whether the film was made in color or black and white, so desaturated are the images. Occasionally the color of a garment or Simone Signoret's hair or the blue of the Mediterranean in the background will catch the eye, but for the most part the film takes place in a world drained of anything suggestive of vivid life. Death is presented as something inevitable, as something that has to be gone through, so futile has resistance to the occupation of France by the Nazis become. Faced with executing a traitor, the Resistance operatives feel reluctance and guilt but also proceed practically: The sound of a gun would attract attention; there are no usable knives at hand; so the solution is to strangle their former comrade with a kitchen towel, and the garroting proceeds with as little drama as possible. This is a film about endurance rather than action, about moral choices made with deliberation and without fuss. Sometimes what action there is feels contrived: The rescue of Gerbier from prison at the moment of his execution depends on sheer luck and coincidence and not on skillful timing and precise intelligence. But dramatic probability is not the point, instead it's the feeling that all of the lives depicted in the film are poised on a razor's edge.

Family Movie Club 19 June 2023

Last week's category: Director - Jean Pierre Melville

Last week's movie: Army of Shadows (L'armée des Ombres) 1969 / 8.1 IMdB score

Thoughts: A cold hard look at what political revolution is like. There are no heros. There are no good guys. There is only the enemy and what you can do to defeat them. It is unflinching in its violence and unmerciful in its story. I enjoyed it, though in the style of most French movies they could have cut half an hour out and lost nothing.

My rating: 8/10

This week's category: Wild Card (no voting) - Juneteenth

This week's movie: Amistad 1997 / 7.3

I will let y'all know my thoughts after we discuss it!

The Star Sanses,

with the Map of the soul: 7 song that I think it fits with them, Because I miss 2019.

(forgot to post these doodles here, yay)

Persona: Swap.

"Actually I’m real good but a little uncomfortable,

I'm still not so sure if I'm a dog or a pig or what else,

But then other people come out and put the pearl necklace on me"

(Truth to be told, I have no idea what "swap sans" really is, He's just... well.. A swap, He doesn't even have a personality the silly, He just is there to fit for the plot of your AUs, heheh, Relatable)

Ego: Dream.

"I go back every day, To me of yesterday,

To the life of giving up, I let myself go away,

But in this world, you know, There are truths unchanged,

Time rushes ever forward, There's no ifs, buts, or maybes"

(I don't think he can get over what happened, his heart is big and his ego is bigger than to let him ask for guidance and support, man release us)

Shadow: Ink.

"I wondered everyday how far I'd go,

I came to my senses and I find myself here,

Yeah, hmm, shadow at my feet,

Look down, it's gotten even bigger"

(No matter how great high and mighty he's getting, the more the shadows of his past and constant need for stimulation are driving him to a point of despair and unsatisfaction, get a grip)
