I can't believe how many great films Renoir managed to craft during his career!<br />Got to agree of Anatomy of A Murder: great film!MPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08366182655374603950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161637385294744810.post-33340872736127273172012-03-03T19:55:31.929-05:002012-03-03T19:55:31.929-05:00Overall I think Man of the West (obviously not one...Overall I think Man of the West (obviously not one of the Stewart cycle) is my favourite Mann western. I got to see both that and Man From Laramie in a double feature at Film Forum on my 42nd birthday. I have yet to see Bend of the River and Winchester '73 though.<br /><br />And who cares about something like Anatomy of Murder being thought of as unfashionable by some. They obviously know not of what the speak.Kevyn Knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840497589713234794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5161637385294744810.post-17317578925444556052012-03-03T19:46:49.732-05:002012-03-03T19:46:49.732-05:00I love experimental film, but I was not crazy abou...I love experimental film, but I was not crazy about <i>Limite</i> either; some nice shots, but something just seemed to be missing, it didn't achieve the poetry it was going for. Not much to do with Brakhage, of course, though some of his very early and uncharacteristic psychodramas do tread through vaguely related territory.<br /><br /><i>Anatomy of a Murder</i> is fantastic, good to see some appreciation for it. I get the feeling that, like a lot of Preminger's big "issue" movies, it's a little unfashionable these days, but it remains fantastic.<br /><br />Always great to see Rohmer and Mann getting some love too. Those Mann/Stewart Westerns are one of the great Western cycles, and I'd say <i>The Naked Spur</i> is one of the best. In their way, they're very beautiful films, too.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.com
