Re: Favorite French movies?

I love "Le Trou", but "Passion of Joan of Arc" is probably the heaviest film I have ever seen. It makes Fassbinder's "In a Year With 13 Moons" look like Crayola's box of 64 crayons. I only watched it because Pauline Kael said that Falconetti's performance was perhaps the greatest recorded performance ever. I don't know. I couldn't even judge her performance. The movie did affect me quite strongly, so I guess that says a lot.

Also, the story of Joan of Arc has always frightened and disturbed me.

I need to rewatch "Grand Illusion" and "Rules of the Game" because I was very young when I first saw them.

"Wages of Fear" is, i have no doubt, very exciting.

I own "Children of Paradise" and "Celine and Julie go Boating", but haven't gotten around to watching them, yet.

Has anybody heard of the 1976 "Fill It Up with Super"? It looks like a fun movie.
