Belle de Jour
Vire sa Vie

Passion of Joan of Arc gotta be one of the most overrated films to me

As it should be

you dont get to say that, not with the list you just posted

I'm not the one putting eyes without a face top 10

i've watched 18 of his films and I'd consider 4 really good. I don't know but there's something about truffaut where i feel his love for his characters always eclipses the rest of the film in someway, if this makes any sense at all.

maybe with age i'll feel a bit more sentimental and like those films better but as of now, they're OK.

i really like jules et jim, tirez sur le pianiste, baisers volés (this is my absolute favorite) and la peau douce

here are some more french titles to search up

eyes without a face a bona fide classic my man

For me, no but I generally don't care for thrillers

As there should be

Truffaut def not close to top tier

I think it's not, but still prefer Napoleon (1927) though.

#1 Belle De Jour
Rohmer’s Comedies and Proverbs films
Celine and Julie

i was obsessed with truffaut films, but that's because I didn't know any better and you set me straight 3-4 years ago and told me to watch some rivette

out of the cahiers bunch i find that he's the least interesting filmmaker.
i feel like that he became what he initially hated on when he wrote about the "a certain tendency of french cinema" for cahiers. interestingly enough i think he was the sharpest writer there, but somewhere after 68' he got lost in the sauce as a filmmaker.

chabrol wasn't perhaps the greatest either (going from what i've read about his 70s work) but he more made up for it in the 90s.

400 blows is interesting since it draws from truffaut's childhood, but I think pialat's enfance nue is better in every regard

the real pity here is the lack of jean renoir, which im guilty of

:omg:

1. Z
2. Portrait of a Lady on Fire
3.L'Armée des ombres
4. Cléo de cinq à sept
5. La Jetée
6. Le Samouraï
7. Un homme et une femme
8. Hiroshima Mon Amour

Yeah he definitely became what he hated, you dead right about that. Chabrol has some killer s*** for sure
