Louie


This has to be my favorite picture of Louis Garrel because its kind of silly. And I think thats a side of him you don't ever see on the movie screen.
He's the kind of actor you do wonder what is his real potential. Has the French cinema just exploited him to a certain degree? Not that anything is wrong with that. But I think I'd like to see him in a comedy. You know, Andy Samberg goes French. Ha..ha..
I must see Hot Rod. I need a laugh. And I hear this Samberg movie was written years ago for Will Farrel. Some of the critics think this will make Samberg a star.
Just think what a film like that could do for Louis Garrel. Probably wouldn't be a sex symbol anymore.

Dreamers



Guess what I watched tonight. Kind of by accident. I had always wanted to watch it, but then figured I never would since its NC-17.

Always like Michael Pitt in whatever he's in. I had no idea I'd like the French guy so much though. He was really good. He makes me think of J.F.K jr., a little.

It was really a strange movie. Definitely, the brother sister relationship, even if they kept insisting they were twins connected by their brain. Lots of energy, though. The shots of the long thin hallways were so vibrant and haunting..as were so many things in the movie. Who knew cinema in 1968 was so important in France?

Louis Garrel is the one to watch. Now I want to see more of his films, but they're all in French.

Very strange ending though. It was like they were avoiding the future.
