"le péril jeune" (cédric klapisch)

[novice]

such a perfect jolt of energy. of course i should have seen it 10+ yrs ago, it would have been very timely. high school coming of age/slacker comedy; heavy-handed plot, storyline gimmicks, and corny flashbacks - granted, all is here, but damn, these moments of pure physical joy and goofy teens running around throwing shit and making fun of those

not a bad program at all, you lucky noo yohrkahs
although i am a bit baffled by tomorrow's combo: Sissako's October and Monteiro's The Last Dive ( I did rate the former as #10 on my last year's Rotterdam top 10).
my local achievements: I have successfully missed Harvard visits of Haneke, Desplechin, Apichatpong Weerasethakul and (just a few days ago) Assayas.

lucky indeed! i need to practice moderation, otherwise i would be one of those smelly old cinephiles that mothers warn their kids about - mumbling into my beard and wiping never-ending tears from too much eye-strain.

i missed apichatpong here a few weeks ago (i blame work and snowboarding), i am preparing to miss assayas (although "cold water" and "irma vep" will be watched for Nth time, they are a must). luckily both were visitors several years back at my little village.

i ignored haneke's program at moma, i guess i just did not feel like it.

so you should give me more pointers on the moma "age of chevalier" program - a lot of stuff is unknown to me.

as for combo - i think they semi-randomly picked stuff from 300+ items that chevalier worked on for arte.

mmm... sissako!
