Lucky you. I think if I could see a retro of anyone'swork it would be his or Rivette.
I don't think there's an acceptable English translation really, think I've seen the 3 hour version.

Well i hope it's playing and will know in the next few weeks. It's funny because of though i think Sans Soleil and La Jetee are unbelievable films, i hope they don't show them because they only allow three double feature nights of their retro's and it would be good it catch as much of his other stuff as possible. They did Rivette a couple of years ago, but only showed 4 whole films because Celine & Julie and La Belle Noisuesse (spelling wrong i know!) took up a night each!
I've been asking for Garrel for years, but no go!

Here's the Marker program: www.melbournecinematheque.org/specials/marker.htmlSome interesting shorts in there and it'll be good to see Description of a Struggle as i saw Dan Geva's Description of a Memory last year, which is kind of like a modern re-imagining / direct response to Marker's film. Not vacationing, having some personal issues so needed to leave Oz and return to the UK for a few months, bush fires left for the freezing cold! Should only be here for a few months, but i need to work just to even fly back and the deep recession is killing my hopes of doing something other than waiting tables on a daily basis! |

Don't shoot the messenger, but according to this English translation of an April 22–28, 2008, issue of the French weekly Les inrockuptibles interview with Marker posted at Criterion's site, he does like The Wire (SM is Marker, it's his Second Life avatar; this interview was conducted via Second Life): IA: What films do you watch? SM: It’s pretty anarchic. I really like great American television series. You mentioned politics. Has there been anything as good as The West Wing? IA: How about The Wire? SM: I was going to mention it next. But there I’d say sociology rather than politics. Only, they should have English subtitles. IA: What, apart from politics and sociology, fascinates you in the proliferation of these series today? SM: First their actual cinematic quality. It’s where all the innovation and invention is taking place. On every level: the story, the editing, the casting, the sound . . . They’re ahead of Hollywood. IA: It seems you share this passion for American TV series with one of your friends, Alain Resnais. Is it something you two have discussed? SM: I suppose it goes back to our passion for comic strips. |

If you read the entire interview he talks of end of cinema. Wonder what prompts these film makers to prophesize the end of cinema. It irks me a bit.

Especially considering there are more good to great films made year in and year out in this decade than any of the previous ones.

Watched A Grin Without a Cat. Incredible. Exhausting in a good way. It deals with politics and the revolutionary currents around the late 60s to mid 70s.
