Still struggle to care about Ambersons

George is too much of a little f*** face. Fanny was nice and unhinged. Obviously shot masterfully etc but doesn't help much when you don't care about the story or most of the characters.

I don't like him either tbh but it's his arrogance that is his downfall + his denial of realizing outer circumstances. A little similar to Kane.

for sure but I just dont enjoy the films energy. on a visual level it makes everything else from this year look like s*** but that only gets you so far.

These songs are fking killing me but man Cagney is an unreal dancer @RASIE

Yankee Doodle?

Yeah what a crazy unique style

Thats one of the sequences that put it over the top for me

Need you to check out Moontide though

i married a witch was bordering on horrible

just noticed that I had a decent amount of '42 jawnz to actually share my list

Low score for Witch and Ambersons

Aniki-Bobo

It's on the programme

Nobody on my LB has logged Moontide @RASIE

might try to squeeze this in one of these days

Another Raimu flick he was good in Bakers Wife

In This Our Life was insane

make that a one

Thoughts?

Jean Gabin paid a visit and spoke in english with cigarette-laden french accent. cinematography is impressionistic and noirish if you say. i liked the bobo getting drunk with distorted effect. classic redemption story for sure

bobo... aniki-bobo
