Werner Herzog recordings of Klaus Kinski
werner herzog’s plays the recordings of klaus kinski’s rants on the set. hilarious and scary all at the same time. klaus tells herzog, “you are no director, you are a beginner, a dwarf’s director. you must ask me mr. kinski what do you think? david lean did that, even brecht, and you’ll do just the same”… it reminds me of my encounter with cesar the great. good times as cale would say. by xy

plus sexy but not so reliable
i finally got my jean louis trintignant “assassin gloves” at maison fabre in paris thanks to pp’s instructions. however, nothing in france is made like it was used to, the films nor the gloves. the films suck, and the gloves fell apart a day after i bought them… oh well, romantic nonetheless. by xy

the bewitchingly charming dance sequence from jean renoir’s the rules of the game. hard to believe that he thought this film was a failure, i suppose that is the curse of those with infamous fathers? anyway, enjoy this as much as i do. by sv
