Though I enjoy existentialist dramas-especially those of Bunuel-I can't seem to enjoy most of the garbage the French try to fob off on us as "genuine" art.
For me, Truffaut, Goddard, et. al., have never really made a film worth spending your hard earned money on.
If I were to suggest a great for-ign filmmaker I would point to Jaffar Panahi, or Kaigai, the director of "Farewell my Concubine."
The problem with most film as art is that it is more concerned with proving it is artistic than it is with doing something artistic.
There seems to be a desire to create "impressionistic": film, probably due to the idea of impressionistic art. But they seem to forget that art works because of what we see in it, and film has to at least lead us by the hand.
Silly or juvenile sayings at the end of Email names or User I.D.'s are like spilled cat litter to be either ignored or stepped over. You rarely see these post scripts anymore, however. The HR magazine I subscribe to says that most companies have banned them. And most email (work and personal) comes from company email systems.
