No intention of watching the Swedish adaptations. Maybe I’ll just skip them and go to the books instead.
Fincher is now in the stratosphere of rhythm. He is a rhythm master; an electric cinematotarist that eventually branches off in a solo and does whatever he wants. The ways he plays, juggles, and straggles with the images is a thing of beauty. I wish he was working on the sequel right now too. But Sony are pigs, like the damn Blomkvist. That damn Blomkvist. You hurt my Lisbeth, you bastard…
The Bonfire of the Vanities
Godard loses his glasses and Truffaut takes a spill during the chaos of the abortive screening of Peppermint Frappé at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival. Peppermint Frappé director Carlos Saura and star Geraldine Chaplin were among those trying to prevent the screening as part of the ongoing efforts to shut down the festival.
(Godard is clearly the Velma of the Nouvelle Vague.)

Brian de Palma’s Passion.
Andrzej Zulawski’s La Femme Publique is a cinematic milestone rich with extreme imagery and raw emotions. Twenty-five years after its controversial inception at the Cannes Film Festival, this story of a young, struggling actress retains the power to shock even the most seasoned of movie goers with its violently stylish, apocalyptic tone. A woman’s destiny, divided between angel and demon… An hour and fifty-four minutes of painful happiness, La Femme Publique scratches the soul, slaps the eyes, and seduces like the maelstrom that each one of us hides beyond the conscious. To summarize La Femme Publique is impossible, dangerous and impoverishing. Zulawski is not a man of words; he plays and juggles with the image, the color, the rhythm, the sound, the music, and this unspeakable shamelessness that he steals from his actors so effectively. Between humor and paroxysm, La Femme Publique is a fascinating metaphysical experience with a degree of intensity that needs to be seen to be believed. Simply put, it represents cinema at its most insane and brilliant. —Mondo Vision
