Hello all.
I hear my greeting echoing in a vacant room , but....
Here's my response to Alice's listing, based upon my viewing of trailers
and readings of various reviews. Of course I also rely on the comments by you
all, as well as upon our live discussions of hopes and purposes.
In no special order I would vote to schedule RAMEN SHOP, WHAT PRICE
HOLLYWOOD, THE THIRD WIFE, THE SEARCH FOR BERGMAN, and HALE COUNTY THIS
MORNING,THIS EVENING. I was less taken via trailers with UNTRADUCTOR, THE
INTERPRETER, RAFIKI, and BUDAPEST NOIR, and while 3 FACES is by a director
whose work I admire, the trailer didn't grab me.
I was unable to see HALE C T M T E when Wurtzler brought it to Colby. It
looks like a fantastic piece (Do recall that I viewed THE TREE OF LIFE three
times, or was it four?) It could be a structural challange for many, so maybe
it would become the substitute for GENESIS 2.0 and bring up the rear?.
Above I list only 5 films, and so, encouraged by Laurie's openess to the
idea, I reintroduce RASHOMON as a sixth. The film introduced Kurasawa and
Mifune to the West. It was made, I believe, in 1950. FIVE YEARS ONLY after the
first A bombs killed over 150,000 civilians in Japan! LOOK at that film with
that understanding in mind. And how many have done that??

I'm content, and it was nice to be able, once again, to enter into the
planning of the series. VV Abbott
