Love De Sica (havent been able to see Shoeshine though) You mean you haven't seen it or haven't been able to make it to the end? :) Assuming it's the former, check it out! I'm waiting for some good quality DVD prints of all that neorealist stuff (can't afford Criterions all that time), but I do fin...

i have a pretty low tolerance for posting obnoxiously. watch your tone. m I apologise, I do feel like I have made my point clearly a number of times and everyone is dancing around it, accusing me of being everything hateful they can think to hate for making a point I never tried to make. Pax N.b. I...

I have, in fact, read the whole thread. The full context for the quote I pulled from you is: La Belle Noiseuse is also, arguably, extremely sexist. The way he uses Emmanuelle Béart is pretty uncomfortable and objectifying. Not to mention the relationship between Édouard and Liz. Women should just s...

Women should just sacrifice themselves to abusive men, for art! Is this really your takeaway message from La belle noiseuse ? Marianne doesn't "sacrifice" herself to Frenhofer's art; their relationship starts with the older artist manipulating and using his young model, but over time it becomes muc...

The way he uses Emmanuelle Béart is pretty uncomfortable and objectifying. She plays a model. It's an exploration rather than an exploitation of the erotic and its limits, and Rivette probably deliberately makes his task more difficult by casting her. Might I add: Even if he has this as an excuse, ...

I enjoyed the film, and I think this image recommends it better.

Agreed.

Sexism: 2: behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex Or, as I prefer, the OED: 'noun - prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex.' (See how it's all clean and neat in a single phrase? Lovely.) 'I do, however...

If I seem to be an expert on everything I touch, might it be because I speak only on topics about which I can speak with confidence? Sorry to comment on this, but your tone is very strident and your confidence seems conservative and too contemptuous. I'm afraid that's more common than lack of confi...

In the spirit of full transparency, I split the thread out as per Dan's request, as well as deleting his two posts, again per his request. I havent done any other "moderating" or deleting of posts. I generally do very little if any. I was barely even following that Rivette thread tbh. I dont find a...

Sexist? How so? 'He calls her a 'girl', for one: 'the most slovenly girl'. Most of the women I know do not like being referred to as 'a girl'. I dig, that might be a more common way to refer to women in France. She was 23 at the time of the article.' *I'll add, just because sexism exists in the Fren...

I sure wish we could talk about sexist elements in the films of Jacques Rivette.

Too much testosterone.

Pax

N.b. I knew about the tyranny when I started posting. Just sad really. This will get deleted too.

So, you are arguing against the sexism of a film you haven't seen? Yes I am, because I wouldn't describe any of the Rivette films I've seen or anything I've read of him or by him as sexist. I said it was 'arguably, extremely sexist.' So are YOU arguing that position? You seemed to imply as much fro...

If I am going to have an entire, on-topic post removed; could the 'calling out' also be excised?

I mean, I responded to it, that was all.

Wow.

And thank you for all the links!

Here's a sweeping generalization:

ALL FEMALE TROPES IN CINEMA ARE TO SOME EXTENT SEXIST.

I'm not trolling.

I do think that to a point this can be argued.

Pax

P.S I am not a huge fan of these giant catch all threads we been having. "Traditional" is a huge topic and frankly I have significantly more or less interest depending on where we are talking about. But I should point out that we have had a few Korea-centric threads. Yes, I understand. I didn't hav...

Cheers for the recs. Listening to the Uchida because it was readily available. Very different from Kempff. Not sure which I like better yet. I know the Kempff well. Will look for the others. Again, thank you. Pax Here's the Sokolov: http://somewhereinthenight.blogspot.com/2009/05/blog-post_13.html ...

Sexist ? How so? For saying an actress is awful and unwatchable? no, for saying she is awful and unwatchable because of her looks. Leo DiCaprio give an equally awful and unwatchable performance in Titanic , but by the same logic his well groomed twinkishness must make it okay. watching Rivette film...

Passion Jean-Luc Godard, 1982 What did you think? Well, after Hélas pour moi I thought I'd better not say anything about a Godard film on just one viewing, but I don't think I'm in a hurry to watch this or Carmen again. I really wanted to like both films, but found them quite disappointing - also h...
