Ooo yeah, that’s Rivette with Emmanuelle Beart who shares her birthday with Steve Martin & Mila Kunis. She’s 60 now but was 28 then. Like Birkin, she’s quite the legend!

I never could believe that she married Daniel Auteuil. I just haven’t ever been able to forgive his character for what he did to hers in Manon of the Spring!
Jane Birkin died just a few months ago this year in July. She was the mom of Charlotte Gainsbourg, Lou Doillon & Kate Barry, the sweetheart of director Serge Gainsbourg & composer John Barry, the daughter of actress Judy Campbell (from a long line of actors) and the sibling of Andrew, David & Anno.
No one knows how she died. She was just found dead at home. She’s a pretty big deal with a life time of singing, acting & modeling.
This is regarded as one of her top films along with Kaleidoscope, Je t’aime Moi Non Plus & Death On The Nile. Another is Don Juan, or If Don Juan Were a Woman. where she was the lover of Brigitte Bardot, another lover of Gainsbourg. Serge died in in 1991. Jane made a doc about him with Bardot called Gainsbourg, Toute Une Vie.
A good doc about her was done a couple years ago by daughter Charlotte, called Jane By Charlotte. Petula Clark also did a doc called Je t’aime: The Story of French Song which features Jane prominently. Jane… Mother Of All Babes is a good 2003 doc about her.
Thanks doll! I’m going to check out those documentaries. I loved her in La Belle Noiseuse.
I deep down love this film. Like Mike Mills’ other works, it combines good music with dreamy cinematography and outstanding writing. It’s also autobiographical. By the way, every movie under the “Similar Titles” section on this page is fantastic.
Really great HBO Masonic-Gnostic Dust Bowl series that uses archetypes within the period story of bad vs. good. Totally swept under the rug. Hey… Clancy Brown, Amy Madigan, Toby Huss & Nick Stahl- not to mention old school fav Adrienne Barbeau.
Hi Rose! Looks like Peter Dinklage and Sam Rockwell are in it, too. It might be good.
Good IMDb reviews. As a matter of fact the director was married to Beals and Parsons.
Although not related to each other, he did cast Sam Rockwell in four of his films. Small world.
It is definitely worth a watch! I saw it when it originally came out on dvd.
For some reason your comment was removed before I was able to read it.
I wouldn’t and couldn’t watch more than one episode. Thanks, Snazzy.
I got 10 minutes in before I put it on the “possibly watch some other undisclosed time” list. I don’t know if I’m going back!
Hello, not sure why you think Grant is the husband. He’s not. He doesn’t even come into play until episode 3.
I haven’t watched the show yet, but I have seen the trailer. The reason I said it was Hugh Grant is because I thought Alien wasn’t sure that Hugh was actually in the show, so I was just reassuring.
also barbara - https://www.primewire.tf/movie/288626-barbara came out around the same time as Lore (but about east/west germany). Thank you so much for uploading! I sent the link to friends and family but now they wont let me watch in until we see it in the cinema. a significant film everyone should see. i did sneak the first 20 minutes and it reminded me of an interview with a survivor talking about the complicity of the people in the surrounding villages saying ‘how could they not smell’.
Barbara is a wonderful film! As is A Woman in Berlin https://www.primewire.tf/movie/62445-a-woman-in-berlin
I am really looking forward to watching this - hope there are some links soon. It is such a paradigm to imagine how this type of world could exist. But it did.
Until this becomes available, a very similar film that will blow your mind (if you haven’t yet seen it) is Lore (https://www.primewire.tf/movie/1247667-lore ).
Mike Leigh is an artist. This isn’t a plot-driven movie - it’s watching slices of life through a keyhole. But it’s done in such a masterful way, you can’t look away.
In 2011 there was a big push to revive this. First in DC comic-graphic novel form for the 3rd season, then also as a kickstarter funded mini or film that would wrap up the series properly. Although the comic was heavily promoted, DC mothballed the publishing. No word on the kickstarter film or mini. They wanted more than 10 million though.
What a shocker - another thing we have in common, loving those Fuller shows! I love Pushing Daisies, but my true love will always be Wonderfalls. Luscious Lee Pace is in that one too. (fanning myself as I scroll through his Instagram photos, incidentally…)
biggest let down in a t.v. series i’ve ever seen. wasted an excellent buildup. there needed to be an epic shootout with tons of death blood guts and explosions. THATS WHY WE WATCH FARGO. not for 4 minutes of barely visible shooting and no-one important dying. and wtf was up with slow blinking black screen fades?
for fucks sake at least kill the Olmstead, Karen, Munch, Gator, the two FBI agents and some of the ranch cowboys.
this was a gutterball if i’ve ever seen one. such a shame.
Maaaan, you have a really boring opinion of what makes a TV show/episode great. “an epic shootout with tons of death blood guts and explosions. THATS WHY WE WATCH FARGO.” — This must be one of the most wrong perceptions of Fargo ever. This show is filled with nuance and things that you must actually think about to fully register. I relish the unexpected, and the unexpected is delivered frequently in this show.
Killer Joe was bloody darn crazy. That end.
I have seriously and honestly never eaten nor wanted to eat a fried drumstick since first viewing that film. Ughh.
File this tidbit under the category of “I spend way too much time surfing the internet”. Roy’s line “If you’re so smart, then why are you so dead?” is almost identical to a 25 yo line from a Simpsons episode in which Homer quips “If he’s so smart, how come he’s dead?”. There was also an episode of the show Psych titled “If You’re So Smart, Then Why Are You Dead?.” How ironic is that someone cocky enough to utter a line like that is rarely as smart as they think they are.
Yes! I read about the Simpsons quote too. It’s like, “Roy, if you’re so witty with the kill lines, how come you’re using a joke stolen from Homer Simpson??”
Heck yeah. Kaboom, Dirty Girl, Killer Joe, Little Birds, Jack & Diane, Greenberg, Magic Magic, Notes On A Scandal, etc… Afternoon Delight with Hahn… good stuff.
Great list , seen them all. All highly recommended! Killer Joe was INTENSE.
I love Juno Temple too. Have you watched this one? It is really good too . I’ll check out your link. I haven’t watched that one. In fact I haven’t heard of it so thanks for your post.

This 5th season is stellar. We adore the anthology approach; it keeps it fresh. As for this season, Juno Temple is shining so brightly it is nearly blinding. She really is a terrific actor. Gosh, she’s been in so many diverse roles, and now this. Although, this whole “series” has a stellar cast. This has been so much fun, I know we’ll binge on it again. Thanks for your comment!
I’ve been a Juno fan ever since 2010’s Kaboom. If you want to see an awesome Juno performance, see “Magic Magic” https://www.primewire.tf/movie/1188839-magic-magic (also includes a very different Michael Cera role!)
I hope so. I’m on season 1 ep 6.
It’s an anthology series, so each season is a different yet somewhat connected story. I’m so jealous of you…I wish I could wipe my memory of it and watch it all again from the first season. Definitely the best show to come out of television in 20 years.
This was absolutely the most brutal episode yet this season.
Disappointing. Mediocre. Badly acted and badly written. I usually like Sofia Coppola. This could have been executed with so much more zeal.
Probably Sharon Tate’s most popular film. The “dolls” are downers, so we get to see various actresses take a downward turn. Among them are the one & only Lee Grant (Dinah Manoff from Soap’s mom), Patty Duke, and since Judy Garland was fired, Susan Hayward & Peyton Place’s Barbara Parkins.
So much fun and so gloriously campy, but holy hell, the songs are hideous and annoying. They really scraped the scum from the bottom of the barrel for the musical numbers, which is sort of fitting…and, most punishingly, the songs stick in my head for hours if I even just think of this movie.
Considered by many to be peak Greenaway as well as Mirren. We dig the photography oodles.
Cool and sexy film. Very special style.
It’s one of my personal favorites. If you like this, you will definitely like Peter Greenaway’s other films, like The Draughtsman’s Contract, or The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover (a shattering movie).
I wish this had been better. It had excellent potential and its heart was in the right place, but its execution was amateurish.
Worth looking for if you’re fans of Rembrandt, mysteries, Freeman, Fiona O’Shaughnessy, Emily Holmes or Jodhi May.
Excellent rec as usual, random one! And for those who like this, I would highly recommend other of Peter Greenaway’s films, particularly The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover! https://www.primewire.tf/movie/217288-the-cook-the-thief-his-wife-her-lover
Carice Van Houten (Melisandre-GoT) & her actual real life sis Jelka in this are adopted out from their biological family. Finally, they pilgrimage to the U.S. to find her in the form of Holly Hunter. Hands down this is a favorite film. ★★★★★
FYI Jelka is hilarious in the second and third seasons of the very funny “Fresh Meat” (https://www.primewire.tf/tv/26520-fresh-meat). I’m going to watch this movie tonight
Ukrainian Maya Deren was a revolutionary experimental surreal filmmaker admired by David Lynch, Helen Mirren & others. Like Harrington & Kenneth Anger who were inspired by her, she attacked Hollywood & was a gestaltist deeply rooted in Kabbalah practices & also filmed famed novelist Anias Nin. This short is protected by the National Film Registry & the beautiful Maya herself is featured in this film about daydreams.
I have her collected short films, they are sublime. She was very much into the unconscious, symbolism, and psychology.
Rather fun, it has Boom Boom Bill Mumy before Lost In Space (You’re a bad man! A very bad man!), Dawn Wells as an extra right before Gilligan’s Island, Dick’s brother Jerry Van Dyke (who turned down the role of Gilligan - for which he kicked himself over lots). He plays a non- Scruggs style banjo of Blackbird. The story is centered around a lovely Connie Stevens with a rogue Robert Conrad & also has a rosy-cheeked Stephanie Powers. It’s a cool bedroom style comedy with some dramatic elements.
Just watched this myself - it was written by the man who was the inspiration for John-Boy in The Waltons, which he created, wrote and narrated, weirdly enough! If you like this check out “Don’t Make Waves”https://www.primewire.tf/movie/133455-dont-make-waves
That dude is Krusty’s dad. He’s there already.
Love this conversation.
And I love this movie! Tagline - YOU AIN’T NEVER SEEN ART GARFUNKEL LIKE THIS!
Yeah he announced years ago that he was quitting after his tenth film. While it had occasionally been casually discussed with Uma there were never any serious plans to make a third part. Would I love to see one? Yeah sure but it was never a realistic prospect.
I think he is probably full of caca, whether he knows it or not. A Hollywoodite announces their “retirement” regularly, and then a year later, they jump right back into their career. What is he going to do after he “retires”, anyway? Play golf and count the growing number of polyps in his colonoscopy readouts?
As all David O. Russell pictures, this one is thoroughly entertaining and well-done.
Kept me completely enrapt from start to finish. If you enjoy a revenge-driven Western featuring characters from opposite walks of life being thrown together for a common cause, and aren’t bothered by a little bit of sentimentality here and there, you might enjoy this.
I love reading about Catherine de Medici and her creepy, corrupt family. The tone of this series’ first episode was perfect.
Cancelled….
I’m so miffed about this. It’s the 2nd time TBS decided to yank the season 2 premiere the DAY IT WAS SET TO AIR.
I just came here to say that I am slap-happy about this season finally airing. Already seen them all and I am about to watch them again.
Super cute movie!
Georgia King is flipping hilarious in this. I had only ever seen her in “Vice Principals”, where she was sort of forced to be the “straight man” of the cast, so I never knew she had good comedy chops.
This was an outstandingly entertaining and satisfying finale. God, I love this show.
Understated comic masterpiece starring the very funny Patrick Warburton, aka “Puddy” from Seinfeld.
How nostalgic is to watch this show again and also see Jimmy with o&a t shirts. Great show.
It is. You probably already know about “Louie”, but if not, you should definitely watch that next…or watch it again. https://www.primewire.vc/tv/6421-watch-louie
A crazy, disjointed “film”, but notable as it is some of the only comprehensive footage of Edie Sedgwick over time; it should be watched as a documentary, not a narrative film.
Also- toward the end, she allows them to film her having 1960s-era shock treatment.
IMO Julia G should not have been cast as Anna D.
If they are going by looks, Emma Kenney looks so much like the actual grifter the story is about. She probably could have handled it just as well.
Stains on the memory does make it a wee bit odd to accept! Method actors, you know?!
Indeed! Not to mention they were an…um…INTERESTING-looking match.
