damn. missed a fantastic movie day on tcm. anybody catch any of it?
Wish I'd known. I've never seen La Jetee, and I'd especially like to see Polanski's early film "The Fat and the Lean" again. From IMDB: "A small and thin barefoot slave (played by Polanski) plays a flute and beats a drum to entertain his large master who rocks in a rocking chair in front of his decrepit mansion. The slave jumps and leaps like a madman, wipes his master's brow, feeds him, washes his feet, shades him from the sun with an umbrella and holds a urinal for him." When the slave is accidentally freed he runs happily down the hill to "the city" within view of the mansion, but then panics and returns to his master.
One film I wouldn't particularly like to see again is Scorsese's "The Big Shave." It's a gory Vietnam metaphor of a guy shaving...a bit too close.
