5.0Renoir: Reviled and Revered(en)
Pierre-Auguste Renoir is known and loved for his impressionist paintings of Paris. These paintings count among the world’s favourites. Renoir, however, grew tired of this style and changed course. This film, based on the collection of 181 Renoirs at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia,– examines the direction he then took and why it provokes such extreme reactions right up to today. Some claim they are repulsed by Renoir’s later works and some claim they are seduced. What may surprise many is that among the many artists who sought Renoir’s new works out and were clearly highly influenced by them were the two giants of the 20th century – Picasso and Matisse.

Light, colour, abstraction, perception, hallucination: a few concerns closely akin to those of ETANT DONNÉS which, however, do not amount to them. The most fruitful feature of such closeness lies in the tension of the many differences, and mainly, for ETANT DONNÉS, the issue of the primacy of the visible and the real, which does not exclude the pursuit of sensation.

0.0Frank Zappa: A Day With Frank(en)
The Documentary centers around Zappa at home, and on Tour. The amazing thing is that Zappa allowed a guy with a camera to film the band at the Fillmore West w/ Flo and Eddie. There are times when the camera man seems to be on the stage. The performance is recorded from only one camera angle. There are only 4-5 songs presented here.....and Zappa referring to the Fillmore West as the ‘Psychedelic Dungeon’ is priceless………..It is a great piece of history.
