I wish I could think of one more visually in line with an "art movie" but I found Pollack with Ed Harris and Marcia Gay Harden to be noteworthy. But more for its exploration of character and relationship than the art itself which to me makes it more align with/ feel like a "literary film" than an art one. I love what Saffron said, "I had a grand, romantic idea at the outset that these films would try and inhabit the feeling of the artworks themselves, but very few have done so." it makes me excited at the possibility of what a true delivery of this would look like.
100% respect to anyone who relates to every character in Mermaids because somehow every character is right (but especially bob hoskins). Have had Caravaggio on my to-watch for so long, this is shaming me into action lol. Great interview, so many new movies bookmarked!!
Topkapi is my favorite heist movie. Peter Ustinov is great.
I saw a film on the second tier TV channel when I stayed home sick as a young kid. It was a group of guys who cracked a safe with explosives during the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. I think it was made in the mid-1960s and I thought Dean Martin was in it. Now, I saw it because I had a serious fever and may have hallucinated Dean Martin or even the fact that it was good. My brother found the name of it for me a few years back but I'm afraid to watch it since it might suck. I'll dig up the name if anyone wants to watch it for me.
I adore La Belle Noiseuse.
