This thread also needs some Cassavetes action. "Shadows" and "Faces" are both quite slow.

See Jeanne Dielman anyway you can eventually, but a screening would add much.
L'humanite had some interesting stuff before turning into quite the ridiculous thing, but it was his follow-up (Twentynine Palms) where Bruno Dumont showed himself to be a real fraud.

btw yeah -- kael was someone who never dug 'meditative' film. she liked brian depalma!

I thought this film was hilarious but I'm not sure if I was meant to. No-one else in the cinema did anyway.
I thought La Belle noiseuse had too much plot and activity. I expected it to be much more 'just' painting.

NEVER is rather absolute. I'm pretty sure Kael liked some Antonioni, and if they qualify as 'meditative,' Renoir, Rossellini, etc.

Subtitles are impossible to read at least half the time. (Luckily, dialogue accounts for probably a collective 15 minutes of the three-hour-plus film.)

Yes. (Have seen, that is.)
If so, would you consider the image quality at least adequate to drop $20 on the thing, or no?
No. It will impugn your memory of that fantastic-sounding viewing experience.

...All right, ONE more thing: has anyone ever seen Last Year at Marienbad? It's reportedly incredibly slow, and weirdly skewed w/r/t character and narrative, but also totally worthwhile.

its worthwhile, but not nearly my favorite of resnais'. hiroshima mon amour is so much better in my opinion.

Ha, Ken, I saw these the last two Tuesdays at the French Institute -- last night with John Waters discussing The Truck with Kent Jones of Film Comment! Hadn't seen any of hers (unless Hiroshima Mon Amour counts) before, and it'll be awhile before I try anymore. India Song really seems to stop time, but when Michel Lonsdale starts his 10-minute offscreen bellowing wail, omigod....Jeanne Dielman is paced like Run Lola Run by comparison.
Waters was funny ("They talk about the characters falling asleep! Very brave") and Jones suggested a US remake with Vin Diesel and Kathy Bates. And it was mentioned that Kael gave The Truck one of its few good NY reviews in '77.

Actually-although I cleverly refrained from saying so in my first post- I love Le Camion. India Song I found a little tough-going, but, as with the corresponding moments in Fassbinder movies, I laughed along with the cruel godlike filmmaker at Lonsdale's embarrassing outburst.
