Exceptional interwar French reel set in the port of Le Havre, where various characters with skeletons in their closets, chips on their shoulders, half-buried grudges and deferred dreams rendezvous in an ultra-atmospheric genre-blend that is as asymptotic to art as you can find in cinema. Stray-dog Gabin, tortured rat-bastard Simon, and camera-loves-her Michele Morgan anchor the narrative. There are subplots, sure, but it's the playing-out of the main story in a location that rivals Casablanca for intrigue and promise that stays with you.

Section 2: TRANSNATIONAL FILM NOIR:

It is crucial in the study of film history to appreciate the impact that Hollywood had on French cinema in the 1950s, but elements of film noir can be attributed to France in the 1930s which is what French-born British-based professor and academic Ginette Vincendeau argues in her article ‘Noir is also a French word’. (1992) She argues that Borde and Chaumeton’s final evidence that implies that France had ‘no influence on American film noir’ because it was ‘simply not known in Hollywood’ (Vincendeau: 50) through many directors’ experience with making french films, and working in French studios. Similarly, in her Sight and Sound article on French Film Noir (2016), she aims to break down the common views of the genre, which suggest the films are ‘imitation and confined to the ‘post-war period’, and how it arose with the coming of sound around the 1930s.

One of the most discernible traits of Film Noir is the utilisation of ‘distorted camera angles’ and ‘strong contrasts of light and shadow’, traits that are mostly attributed to Germ expressionist films of the 1920s. However, Vincendeau makes it clear that Poetic Realism’s impact of ‘poetry of wet cobblestones, of nights in the faubourgs and of bleak dawns’ (Vincendeau:52) is underestimated.

An example of a film that consists of these conventions is ‘Le Quai Des Brumes’ (1938) Directed by Marcel Carné (which translates to ‘Port of Shadows). The film has significant influence on post-war American noir films of the 1940s; it is certainly poetically realistic, approaching themes of fatalism and doomed love through noir traits such as narrow streets, depressing atmospheres and visual melancholy.

In his article Journal ‘PORT OF SHADOWS: ABSENCE AND LOVE’ (2019), Vlad Dima explores and discusses the cultural significance of the film, genre and mise-scene. He writes that France’s period of ‘cinematic domination’ arose against a ‘backdrop of angst and uncertainty, resulting from the anticipation of another widespread war’.

The image above is taken from the beginning of the film, which shows Jean, in the middle of the road emerging from the thick fog which enhances the opening of the films meaning, in which he informs the driver of the fog in his head. We are able to see the character clearly when the headlights of the van hit him, immediately establishing the films visceral tone throughout. Within this scene, we are introduced to several visual and thematic attributes synonymous with the idea of of poetic realism and French cinema, such as the darkness due to the night-time setting that creates an ominous atmosphere.

port mafia head canon that during the 15 arc mori genuinely believed dazai and chuuya were going out but they didn’t feel comfortable enough to openly show they were dating, so he started putting the stone wall anti homophobia posters around the office to show his support (they were not in fact dating) (dazai did in fact use this to fuck with chuuya)

Average daily best friend things.

[Image ID: three sketch drawings of Rouge The Bat and Shadow The Hedgehog from the Sonic The Hedgehog series. Shadow is a stylized anthropomorphic striped hedgehog and Rouge is a stylized anthropomorphic bat. In the first image Rouge is hugging shadow, squishing their faces together. She is wearing a black crop tank top with small black shorts and black fingerless gloves. She is saying “I wuv you soooooo much bestie! (Platonic.)” Shadow who she is hugging tightly looks slightly annoyed and is averting his eyes from her. He replies to her, in very small text, with “yeah I love you too, whatever…”. In the second image Rouge wears the same outfit as the first. She is sitting in Shadows lap as he lays down, facing up at her with a neutral expression his arms crossed over his chest. Rouge is holding an eyeshadow palette and is leaning over to do eyeshadow on Shadow. She has a happy but calm expression. In the final image Rouge is wearing an In This Moment t shirt with no gloves and plain pants. She is sitting on a couch with a bowl of popcorn in her lap. Shadow has his head resting on top of hers, causing her ears to be folded somewhat downward. Most of shadow is hidden behind the couch as he is standing behind it. He asks Rouge “What’cha watchin’?” She replies with “Hannibal.” Shadow asks “Like the cannibal?” And Rouge answers “That’s the one.” To which Shadow says “Cool.” Each image is accented with a dull hot pink color in place of full coloring.

Russian Submarine Destroyed

The significant damage sustained by a Russian Navy Kilo class diesel-electric attack submarine after a Ukrainian cruise missile strike last week. The Kilo class boat, together with a Ropucha class landing ship, had been in dry dock in the Black Sea port of Sevastopol, in Russian-occupied Crimea, when it came under attack in the early hour of September 13.

The submarine in question is the Rostov-on-Don (B-237), an Improved Kilo boat, from the Project 636.3 class, which is capable of launching Kalibr land attack cruise missiles, of the type widely used against targets in Ukraine. This submarine entered service in 2014 and is one of four of its type with the Black Sea Fleet.

Did a second run of Shadows over Loathing because I wanted to do an evil run. I had far too much fun with this guy and I am perhaps even more attached to him than Cecil because sometimes you need a guy who loves being fucked up.

He's not even evil, really, because that would imply he cares about what he's doing.

Bonus picture that's a vital contribution to their dynamic:
