Salomé Jashi’s film Taming the Garden
So glad I stumbled on this live stream performance from the French Institute (alas, missed the first two of three. Any chance of a repeat? Folk will donate!:) Singer Melissa Errico writes so wonderfully of the banal of finding her costume for this evening. Creator of the series Adam Gopnik (recent recipient of the Légion d'honneur) reminds (or informs) that it was little discussed/remembered French (Italian born) critic Nino Frank who coined the term film noir writing about The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, Murder My Sweet, and The Woman in the Window in 1946. End of the war and first opportunity for French audiences to see American films. American film makers had no idea that indeed was what they were making "the enormous power of ambivalence…just as important..the heroism and glamour of obsession...the Bogart hero and the Camus hero…no longer gangsters but ordinary people that got sucked into…Americans losing their innocence then going to the French to be told that innocence is not worth having"
What an exquisite evening! Lordy, lordy: what a utopia we now live in !
Rien n'est si dangereux qu'un ignorant ami;
Mieux vaudrait un sage ennemi.
