New pick for Dec. 9

Here's my pick to replace "Accident." Because of the delay, I hope no one will mind if we break an extra week and start again Dec. 9.

I've been meaning to see this for a few years. Sounds intriguing.




"A woman delves into the inner depths of her soul and resurfaces transformed in this 1962 film by French director Agnes Varda. Young singer Cleo (Corrine Marchand) strolls along the bustling Paris streets, pondering the meaning of life and her own existence as she awaits the results of her cancer biopsy. Cleo's observations offer a close look at Paris's rich street life, and desperation turns into hope when Cleo encounters a young soldier."

Taking an extra week would be fine. I wonder if I saw this many years ago before I had seen many French films. If so, it would have been on VHS, so it would be worth seeing again on a Criterion disk even if I remembered it. Or maybe I’ve not seen any of Varda’s films. Sounds good.

We’ll be sure to watch it this coming weekend so we can discuss it next week.

It’s good to see you back, driftwood.
