i never understood the distaste ppl have for foreign films. do you guys think think your favorite filmmakers aren’t in some way inspired by european cinema? do you think lucas and spielberg made movies by watching only american movies?
the whole “cigarettes pretentious dialogue” comment is the kind of takeaway you’d get if you haven’t seen any french cinema beyond breathless. just expand your palette a little more. jacques tati and louis malle are waiting on the other end.

i think a lot of french new wave is extremely overhyped. at least from the handful i’ve seen. cleo is pretty good tho. la haine is great. i like movies from most european countries but i consistently don’t enjoy french ones

honestly, this is why i always try to go into everything with as little expectation as possible because art isn’t responsible for what you bring into the experience.
