Yeah, I knew that. I was simply saying that the scene I posted strikes me as a more obvious pastiche/homage of the dance scene in bande a part than the one in Pulp Fiction. No biggie

I thought you might like to recommend that Nest of Spies film
oh! I'd quite forgotten about their frenchness. I have seen 3, count 'em, 3 french films. OSS117: Cairo Nest of Spies, OSS117: Lost in Rio. They have the delectable Jean Dujardin in. Nom. I have also seen Blue is the warmest colour. I also enjoyed this, but afterwards I heard the actresses weren't that happy about the relentlessness of the sex scenes and I can see their point.

Is no one really going to suggest "Ne le dis à personne" (Tell No One)?
It's got the wickedest dog accompanying a French Dustin Hoffman lookalike.

It's ok. I've loved you so long is also good but dark.

I haven't seen it yet but I read an interview with one of the actresses where she was saying just that.

i thought it was interesting that they filmed it chronologically, so as the filming proceeds they're getting more and more jaded which fits the character/story development really well. imho they could have left out the sex scenes and i'd have found it just as intense.
(afaik the relentlessness applied to every scene, not just the sex ones. they had to do *everything* 20, 60, 100 times over... )

Fantastic film, of its time (1981) but a really atmospheric, beautifully set thriller. Great soundtrack and a cracking car chase. I saw it in Marseilles when it first came out and I must have watched it a dozen times, it still hasn't lost its charm.

Forgot all that pretentious wank over the last three pages, La Grande Vadrouille is the best film ever.
It's got de Funès and Terry-Thomas in it, what more do you want?
