Remembering Bruno Kirby, born 75 years ago today ~ The Godfather Part II (1974) #botd
Seven Samurai (1954) Dir. Akira Kurosawa
Anouk Aimée ~ A Man And A Woman (1966) #botd
The Return (2003, Zvyagintsev) "I never say what the film is about beforehand, because I want it to remain a surprise for the viewer. I would like the viewer to discover the film as if they were opening a box." --- Andrey Zvyagintsev
Vampyr (1932, Dreyer) "Carl Theodor Dreyer, to me [is] the greatest director who’s ever been in films" --- Sidney Lumet
"I would like to believe the world will be saved by the cinema. Cinema is my world & it is the scope of all my journeys. I am always searching for secret little utopias that will enchant me; I am doing my best to believe in the relevance of these trips" — Thodōros Angelopoulos
#OTD Akira Kurosawa's Drunken Angel (1948) was released in Japan. A yakuza film set in post-war Japan that stars Takashi Shimura and Toshiro Mifune as Doctor Sanada, an alcoholic, and Matsunaga, a gangster with tuberculosis, who Sanada advises to change his lifestyle.
'Somewhere out there is a true and living prophet of destruction and I dont want to confront him. I know he's real. I have seen his work. I walked in front of those eyes once. I wont do it again.' No Country for Old Men (2005) Cormac McCarthy NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2007)
Seven Samurai's 70th anniversary ~ Few directors have been more influential on cinema worldwide than Kurosawa, who in turn takes heed from the American western, mastering the genre and expanding its core themes, with Hollywood remaining indebted ever since
Happy birthday Giancarlo Esposito ~ School Daze (1988) #botd
"'Red River' [1948]—it’s a superb film; cinematically, an extraordinary piece of work. And what [Howard] Hawks did in terms of the reality of a cattle drive is, to me, on the level with what [John] Ford did with 'Stagecoach' [1939]." --- Sidney Lumet
Very cool that James Benning will be moderating the Q&A at this screening. Benning was in the audience at the NYFF screening last year for EUREKA and Lisandro shoutout him out as a source of inspiration. Used Innocence/Eureka #sidebyside pinnlandempire.com/2023/10/eureka…

Brigitte Auber was born on this day (April 27) in 1928. She is a French actress. Filmography with Hitchcock: To Catch a Thief (1955) — cast: Danielle Foussard
"Douglas Sirk’s films are descriptive. Very few close-ups. Even in shot-counter-shot the other person doesn’t appear fully in the frame. The spectator’s intense feeling isn't a result of identification, but montage & music" — Rainer Werner Fassbinder
"I never wanted to be anybody's assistant but that if, for example, Ken Loach were to ask me, then I'd willingly make him coffee. I saw 'Kes' (1969) at film school and I knew then that I'd willingly make coffee for him." --- Krzysztof Kieślowski
On this day, 70 years ago, Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece- "Seven Samurai" (1954) was released in Japan.
"There is a wonderful expression: seeing through a glass darkly. Everything, even life, is inevitably removed from you. You can’t reach, or touch, the real. You just see reflections. If you try to grasp happiness itself your fingers only meet glass. It’s hopeless" — Douglas Sirk
What's the best opening sequence you've ever seen in a movie?
"Louis Malle was the most approachable of great directors. I was almost the first person he saw after the screening of 'Au revoir les enfants' (1987). I remember him weeping as he clasped my hands & said, 'This film is my story. Now it is told at last.'" --- Roger Ebert
"'The Night of the Hunter' (1955) runs counter to the rules of commercialism; it will probably be Laughton's single experience as a director. It's a pity, despite failures of style, it is immensely inventive; like a horrifying news item retold by children." — François Truffaut
