Nothing to be done, its OK though, you are the normal one as probably 98% of people can't stand Goddard. He is my all-time favorite directory & I've given up trying to get people into him. Its like Sushi, you either love it & can't get enough of it, or you find it weird & can't stomach it.

Much like Kurosawa I'm not a fan Godard's later work either. All of his work is polarizing though, even his best, I completely understand why people don't like him.

Yeah, it's just very fresh and youthful..it's hard not to get into it. You know? It's got that young cockiness that maybe I'm more inclined to understand being where and what I am.

I like Bande à part as well....thought it was good fun.
The thing about Breathless that really turned me off was the fact that it seemed

Breathless
Jean-Luc Godard
Blu-ray
I just sold my DVD of this title....and I realized that I had only watched it one time.
I don't know what it is, but I am just not enamored with this seminal title. I want to like it more, but I just can't seem to muster up the requisite appreciation.
PLEASE help me like this!

I hope that Night of the Hunter has the Charles Laughton Directs "The Night of the Hunter" doc about the outtakes and rushes that were saved and given to the AFI by Elsa Lanchester as part of the package.

Fucking awesome! Now if Criterion can give me a Cape Fear double shot on Blu I would be a very happy camper.
But wow Night of the Hunter, totally awesome!

Already hinted at, but nice to get confirmation. Hopefully some of the still-surviving rehearsal footage will be included as an extra. As for the rabbit, there are two of them on the riverbank during the children's boat journey.

I'm going to speculate that since Criterion got Johnnie To to list his favorite Criterion movies and that his Vengeance was an IFC release, that we'll probably be seeing Vengeance on a Criterion dvd/blu-ray sometime soon.
