  • Blind Date

    Blind Date 1987

    ★★★★½ Watched 10 Feb 2025

    Biette noted Allan Dwan's ability to transition from silent film to talkies to colour pictures completely naturally, and without losing his essence--- I recognize a similar trait to Blake Edwards in this film, which is about as close to what he accomplished in the 60s as I can imagine.

  • Stanley and Livingstone

    Stanley and Livingstone 1939

    ★★★★★ Watched 10 Feb 2025

    "The filmmaking that interests us is haunted by writing. Writing implies a separation [éspacement, or spacing-out], a space between two words, two letters, a gap that allows for a proliferation of meaning. Writing doesn't imply immediacy, but rather an eternal movement of "boustrophedon".- Serge Daney interviewed by Bill Krohn

    And writing haunts Stanley and Livingstone, specifically journalistic writing. The introduction of narration through Stanley's journal itself introduces a fluidity of time that makes the dialogue feel smaller, more trapped in its time. The communicative element of writing also arises in the dialogue, with mistakes arising from too much distinction as much as too little.

    Every other Fleischer I've seen has been plastic in a way that made it feel really flexible and smooth, but this one feels so much tougher and more geometric, almost like what I'd expect from Preminger. It's still distinctly a Fleischer film, though, and probably my favourite I've seen so far.
