Assim são os primeiros minutos verdadeiramente cativantes de um filme. Aquela corrida labiríntica de pés descalços, a respiração ofegante de medo, o preto e branco intimidante e os créditos ao contrário, tudo me deu uma vontade incrível de ir ver o filme já.

92 anos de Fellini, 20 de Janeiro de 2012
100 anos de Nino Rota, 3 de Dezembro de 2011
224 anos de Louis Daguerre, 18 de Novembro de 2011
137 anos de Houdini, 24 de Março de 2011
Depois de ter visto o google doodle para Truffaut fui ver outros, e descobri que Fellini fez 92 anos em Janeiro, e Nino Rota (um nome indissociável a Fellini), fez 100 em Dezembro. Tantos anos, que falta fazem.
"[I]n stark contrast to the oeuvre of his erstwhile New Wave comrade, Jean-Luc Godard, Truffaut's films are not overtly political in any way. 'For right or wrong, I believe there is no art without paradox: now in the political film, there is no paradox, because already in the script, it is decided who is good and who is bad.' ... Truffaut's rejection of current topics or fashions is not a conservative one, but the need to retain a freedom and purity of expression uncluttered by the zeitgeist. For him, the eternal theme of Love 'is more important than social questions. It is the way to lead people to truth. There is more truth in sentimental relations than in social relations. There is more truth in the bedroom than in the office or the board room.'"
- Ronald Bergan in François Truffaut: Interviews
He made films that reflected his three professed passions: a love of cinema, an interest in the difficulties of male-female relationships, and a fascination with the problems of children.
Parabéns atrasados, François.

the fallen divas
All about Eve (1950), Joseph L. Mankiewicz
A tensão constantemente em pico que sobe e sobe até consumir o espectador, acabando por cair numa cama decadente e pouco reconfortante.

De repente vi-me sufocada por uma onda de trabalho e de falta de tempo, mas ainda consigo, às vezes, respirar quando, de repente, faço descobertas como estas. Fiquei o dia todo com esta música na cabeça e, em imensas tentativas falhadas, tentei recordar-me e imitar esta coreografia gestual comovente e marcante. Nunca Gershwin me pareceu triste, até aparecer Pina Bausch.

La Tour du Cinéma
In 1957, François Truffaut wrote a script for a 25-minute film called Autour de la Tour Eiffel (Around the Eiffel Tower), about persons obsessed with getting to the tower, which they can see easily, but can never reach. In one version, a peasant finally reaches the top and sees “a Parisian Paris down to the fingertips”. The film was never made, but two years later, in the credits for Les quatre cents coups (The 400 Blows), Truffaut’s first feature, the camera scanning the streets of Paris comes to a halt at the foot of the Tower. Truffaut would collect replicas of the Tower in all sizes, which he displayed in his apartment in the 16th arrondisement, from which the Tower itself was visible.
