Cleo de 5 a 7 is great, I picked it up in a huge stash from China for about the equivalent of 30 cents. Try ebay and might still be some on there.

When I do watch films, I always prefer the older ones, as not only are the stories often more interesting and challenging, but they also give me the chance to observe some history too! I'm sure I'll spend more time looking at the backdrops to the scenes, but I'll make sure I hunt down the film soon!Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453626318828119830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725154806633928919.post-48175222343119885162009-06-07T19:43:01.141+02:002009-06-07T19:43:01.141+02:00Ooh, please say "Hi" to Aimee on my beha...Ooh, please say "Hi" to Aimee on my behalf as well.

This reminds me of the literal "frisson" I experienced during a recent viewing of Agnès Varda's "Cléo de 5 à 7" (a Paris "road movie" mostly on foot!).
