Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
MartinHafer Luc Moullet apparently was making a film to cash in on the new craze of Italian westerns with this French western. However, being a New Wave writer/director, Moullet didn't seem concerned with the end product making much sense, having good pacing or being enjoyable to the audience.Jean-Pierre Léaud, the darling of directors François Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard (who put him in TONS of their films), plays the lead. But unlike a typical western hero, he really seems to have no back story or personality. All you really know is that he carries a bunch of sacks around in the desert and they're supposed to be filled with money. Along the way, he meets up with a lady--and then the film makes almost no sense at all. In fact, during some of the film, you see scenes repeated (rather randomly) and the story completely disintegrates. Aside from a little nudity and a funny scene (the only one) where the lady offers the guy sex to keep him moving when he's supposedly run out of energy in the desert, the film seems the type that only die-hard lovers of the French New Wave would enjoy. While not enjoyable, at least it was better than Moullet's previous film, "The Smugglers", which, incidentally, is on the same DVD with "A Girl is a Gun"! Uggh.
