Jean-Pierre Léaud and Kika Markham in Two English Girls (François Truffaut, 1971) Cast: Jean-Pierre Léaud, Kika Markham, Stacy Tendeter, Sylvia Marriott, Marie Mansart. Philippe Léotard. Screenplay: François Truffaut, Jean Gruault, based on a novel by Henri-Pierre Roché. Cinematography: Néstor Almendros. Production design: Michel de Broin. Costume design: Gitt Magrini. Music: Georges Delerue. Late in his life, Henri-Pierre Roché wrote two semi-autobiographical novels about his life and romantic entanglements in the artistic circles of Paris at the turn of the 20th century. Since François Truffaut had his first great success as a director with one of them, Jules and Jim (1962), it's not surprising that he turned again to Roché for inspiration almost a decade later in Two English Girls. Both are about romantic triangles, though with a woman and two men in the first film, and a man and two women in the second. But where Jules and Jim is loose and larky, Two English Girls is slow and stately, its characters stewing in their frustrations and uncertain desires. Part of the difference may lie in the fact that the pivotal character in the first film is Jeanne Moreau and in the second film it's Jean-Pierre Léaud. Both are remarkable actors, but Moreau centers the film in an element of mystery that gets diffused when Léaud becomes the protagonist, forced to deal with his attraction to two very different sisters. We know instantly why Jules and Jim are so fascinated by Moreau's Catherine, but in Two English Girls the difficulties among Claude (Léaud), Ann (Kika Markham), and Muriel (Stacy Tendeter), centering in large part on sexual morality, are not so provocatively drawn. So the tension among the figures in the triangle goes a little slack in Two English Girls, which at some point turns into a meditation on the differences in nationality and religion (or the lack of it). Roché's novel was titled Les deux anglaises et le continent, emphasizing the Channel-wide gap between the characters. ("The continent" is the Brown sisters' epithet for Claude, erecting a kind of geographical barrier reminiscent of the one between Henry James's Americans and Europeans.) Two English Girls is beautifully filmed by Néstor Almendros, and it has a lovely unobtrusive score by Georges Delerue (who also appears on camera in the role of Claude's business agent), but Truffaut's adaptation, relying heavily on voiceover narration, never overcomes a lack of dramatic incident inherent in the source. It takes patience and concentration to fully appreciate the intricacies of the relationships in the film.

Affiche Mon oncle d’Amérique | Illustration, Poster
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dois cartazes para promover o filme francês de Alain Resnais e Jean Gruault, de 1980. Por ser um filme antigo, as características de impressão serigráfica e desgaste foram imitadas na estética. Foram desenhados nos últimos meses de 2018. No primeiro cartaz, os três ratos de laboratório tentam passar pelo  arco da sua caixa ao mesmo tempo, representando as três personagens principais na sua luta por dominância da sua própria vida, a serem observadas pelo narrador. O segundo cartaz contém apenas um rato, mais leal às imagens do filme e a representar, em geral, as decisões críticas que mudaram o rumo da vida das personagens.
Two posters to promote the french 1980 movie by Alain Resnais and Jean Gruault. Because it’s an old movie, details of screen printing and wear & tear were mimicked in the posters’ aesthetic. They were drawn in the last months of 2018. In the first one, three lab rats try to pass the arch of their box at the same time, representing the fight for dominance of their own lives, while being observed by the narrator. The second poster only has one rat, more loyal to the movie’s imagery and representing, in general, the life changing, critical decisions of the characters.

Mon Oncle D'Amerique (1980). The intersecting stories of three people who face difficult choices in life-changing situations are used to illustrate the theories espoused by Henri Laborit about human behavior and the relationship between the self and society.
Not sure if I enjoyed this one exactly, but I definitely appreciated and was compelled by it's experimental approach to narrative structure. Each of the three philosophical stories were interesting, and they didn't always weave together smoothly, but they were well acted and beautifully shot. 7/10.

Catherine’s plunge into the river so astonished Jim that he drew it the next day, though he didn’t usually draw. Admiration for Catherine welled up in him and he sent her a kiss in his mind.

#letontoncinephile MARGUERITE ET JULIEN (Valérie Donzelli, 2015) [Initialement publié le 08/06/2020] D’abord il y a eu l’histoire vraie, au XVIIème siècle. Puis en 1973 Jean Gruault l’adapte et confie le scénario à François Truffaut (qui ne le tournera pas puisque le thème principal vient d’être à la base de quelques grandes sorties cinéma). Le scénario finit chez Jean-Claude Brialy - Isabelle Adjani et Julien Clerc pressentis à l’affiche - mais ça ne se fait pas. C’est une quarantaine d’années après que Valérie Donzelli met la main sur ce scénario et nous offre cette revisite de l’histoire tragique des frères Ravalet. J’étais très curieux de voir comment Donzelli traiterait ce sujet, ô combien non-conventionnel, et c’est plutôt bien ! L’histoire des amoureux incestueux nous est racontée dans un dortoir, en même temps qu’à une bande de petites filles. C’est donc, à la manière d’une histoire à lire (ou voir) avant d’aller dormir que ce conte, presque innocent, mais si scandaleux nous est présenté. La fantaisie de Valérie Donzelli est omniprésente, j’ai apprécié les couleurs féeriques, les petits trucs du montage, la musique et les anachronismes poétiques, à en oublier presque le tabou de l’affaire. A noter la performance d’Anaïs Demoustier qui sublime le tout. 4/5  #critiquecinema #moviereview #instacinema #filmaddict #movies #art #cinema #cinephile #film #pausecinephile #valériedonzelli #cinemafrancais #frenchcinema #margueriteetjulien #jeremieelkaim #anaïsdemoustier @valeriedonzelli https://www.instagram.com/p/CJwR1QPLGoW/?igshid=18afs0x60ycka

The Story of Adele H. (1975). Adèle Hugo's unrequited love for a lieutenant.
This is an interesting story in a lot of ways about obsession and infatuation, and it’s really grounded in a pretty excellent performance by Isabelle Adjani. The movie ebbs and flows in ways that gives her the opportunity to really chew the scenery, albeit sometimes in ways that are frustrating or perhaps go on for too long. Still, it’s a compelling adaptation of a story I actually didn’t know about, so that was fun! 7/10.

The Story of Adele H. | Francois Truffaut | 1975
Collection of 4 vintage black-and-white single weight press photographs from the set of the 1975 film. Three of the four photographs show Truffaut and his crew working on the set, both in front of the camera and behind it, and the fourth is a lovely shot of Truffaut in uniform next to Isabelle Adjani. Stamp of French press agency Les Artiests Associes on the verso of each print. Based on the diaries of the youngest daughter of author Victor Hugo, about a woman whose romantic obsession with an indifferent military captain eventually leads to her despair and madness. Isabelle Adjani was nominated for an Academy award, making her, at age 20, the youngest Best Actress nominee of all time in 1975.  Story set in Halifax, Nova Scotia, shot on location in Barbados, Senegal, and the Channel Islands.
