A friend did and ...Oh, it wasn't me that bought it. A friend did and I just mooched.<BR/><BR/>And I don't think the water thing holds for Amelie, save for that one scene where the grocer arrives to his store early. I think that might've had a bit of early-morning wetness to it. Otherwise it seemed pretty dry.Mad Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10716883645607032782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250324745932561231.post-6427890298536490082007-04-12T11:05:00.000-05:002007-04-12T11:05:00.000-05:00Interesting observation. Does it hold for "Amelie"...Interesting observation. Does it hold for "Amelie"? I seem to recall that almost all the war footage for "A Very Long Engagement" takes place in the rain with thick wet mud everywhere. I think he must like the way water changes textures since he is clearly a fan of debris, patina and grit as well.<BR/><BR/>I love Death Race 2000 and I'm glad you bought it. Though it isn't nearly as good, you should check out "Eating Raoul" a cannibal comedy by the same director.FilmWalrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822833888119348361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250324745932561231.post-59659465247537481322007-04-11T17:16:00.000-05:002007-04-11T17:16:00.000-05:00It looks like your post got cut off. Anyways, righ...It looks like your post got cut off. Anyways, right after watching Grindhouse with some friends Friday, we went to a used DVD place and found Death Race 2000, purchased it and viewed it for maximum campy entertainment. Also I hope your comment on Delicatessen makes note of Jeunet's fetish for water. I'd noticed that both Alien Resurrection and City of the Lost Children looked hopelessly wet all the time, and the flood at the end of Delicatessen only further strengthened my opinion that Jeunet loves the stuff.Mad Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10716883645607032782noreply@blogger.com
