Though I stressed their cinematic qualities, I think you'll like the theatrical elements a lot. They're very talky in a way that's really fun and sort of overwhelming--STORY OF A CHEAT is basically a monologue set to a constant avalanche of images. As it goes along you get to feeling like Guitry is having fun just trying to see how far he can push this thing. I wouldn't have payed much attention to them either had I not got early copies. Guitry has a pretty expansive catalogue, so I'm hoping there are more gems out there on par with those in the box.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319721431296639419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746189833925666296.post-81846572910525022752010-07-26T18:25:32.649-04:002010-07-26T18:25:32.649-04:00Hi, JB.
Wow, your description of this collection ...Hi, JB.<br /><br />Wow, your description of this collection has really piqued my interest, especially THE PEARLS IN THE CROWN. It sounds exactly like the kind of playful lark that I especially love watching. Thanks for the heads-up... I don't know if I would have investigated this release otherwise.Paul Matwychukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01917384620564525389noreply@blogger.com
