Fools Survive

I went to see the Luis Bunuel double feature at the SIFF Rialto series last night, and was deeply impressed, again, by the violent surrealism of "Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" and the enchanting beauty of Jeanne Moreau (right) in "Diary of a Chambermaid."

Tonight brings two 1960's Jean Luc Godard films: The sexy and analytical "Two or Three Things I Know About Her," and possibly his best film, "Bande A Part," which features the luscious Anna Karina, and boasts this always unexpected dance scene.



My French isn't good enough to know if this translation from the clip above is accurate, but it's an appropriate sentiment nonetheless: "Empires crumble, my friend, republics founder, and fools survive."
