Seen: CHUNGKING EXPRESS 4K | Official Trailer (English)

Watched this today at the movies, the earliest (and cheapest) showing at about 10:00 (told everybody I am off to work).




Time was not wasted as there were some great visuals there. 

Watched it on a visual perception and awareness level only i.e. without trying to get the point as there is probably no point.

"The point is that there is no point".

Having said that, there are still two coherent stories there, even if they are not meant to make too much sense on an ordinary everyday life kind of level... but still watched it only for what was unfolding on the screen before the eyes and local (South Korean) color. 

Still, a great film, obviously.

À bout de souffle (1960) - C'est vraiment dégueulasse

Watched this last night at the movies...



Obviously it's a great movie.

It's one of the earliest, and maybe the best, movie in the French New Wave cinema.

How to live the last few days of your life with total abandon to what you do best, i.e. crime, on the part of the male protagonist, and a dose of love.
