Fold your hands child, you walk like a peasant

“Ozu makes us feel deeply about his characters, but he does so by being honest rather than manipulating us. Hence his famous restraint: like the stories themselves, the performances avoid histrionics and melodrama. If we are enormously moved at the end of his films, it is not because anyone has pushed the right buttons but because we have seen something that strikes us as truthful.” – Geoff Andrew, “A Fond Farewell”

First of all, I’m sorry for the long absence. (I promise to make some stuff soon.) Secondly, it’s Godard night on TCM, and in his intro to Masculin féminin, Robert Osborne said that Paul ends up in sexual relationships with Madeleine and both of her roommates. Granted, it’s been a while since I watched the whole movie, but I don’t remember that happening... Maybe I’m wrong though.
