Still busy
Life
My madly busy life continues apace. Fortunately my wife has finished school
for the year, so at least one of us will be calm. Some friends of ours have
bought a house near us, so I’m looking forward to them moving in.
Movies
Re-watched Matrix Reloaded last week. That movie really was saved by the
car chase sequence. Much better was
Le Cercle Rouge, a very
classy 1970 crime movie starring Alain Delon. It touches a number of
sub-genres - betrayal, mob, heist, chase without becoming captive to any
of them. It includes the best burgulary scene I have seen in a film, a
sub-genre which has been done
untold violence in recent
years. On top of this cool script and crafted mis en scene is a very
classy and subtle Jazz score.
