Indochine (1992)
Worst
One of the worst films I have ever seen, and absolutely unimaginable why it won an academy award. -- Then again, though it's story could be from a Danielle Steel paperback, the acting was pretentious at its best, and never ever provoked a single feeling in me but awkwardness and embarrassment, it had those spectacular big display scenes Americans like so much, and costumes.
Tout va bien (1972)
Love for people
The first film I see from Godard. Absolutely astonishing! Conversational and narrative experiments that I now see as the origins of my favorites from Hal Hartley.
Framed by the conversation of a wannabe filmmaker to his friend, where they develop an outline for a story, is a film about love and revolution. Yes, it's French. Questions raised: can love survive relationship? Can revolutionary thought survive revolution? Is it any good?
I don't know where it comes from, how it gets through, but one can sense much love for all the director's characters, for people and for film. Love and compassion.
The last fifteen minutes of the film are among the most beautiful moments I have witnessed in cinema.
