The Alley Theater was closed, its steps effectively darkened by the flip of a switch.

Trampoline, walking upon the sight of children's heads, which are now reaching over the walls of their yard with the help of a trampoline,

Someone can use the water in their body as a form of dictation. Where you can leave something long enough for it to become an exigency, like a cauldron in the hearth.

I was good, dropping by like that.

When we left "The Goat" which could be described as a regional delivery, unacceptable, and walked into "The Pianist" at Angelika. It was my brother and I in coats, for the weather outside had a way with our lymph that we tried to act against.

And I remember an overpowering urge to taste jelly in that movie, I remember that, it was that urge that was more filling than the jelly, because my upper legs were dark with winter, my arms were covered with dyed wool, and the impression of jelly coupled with the sensation of the clothing made me deliriously happy, even in the presence of Roman Polanksi.

The top hat the unread letter Elina Labourdette
deliberation of her hand holding the glass away
from the table; o scintilla on the floor the vacant
interior of the elevator and their household

phonograph and then onslaught of pearl earrings and
flowers Elina dancing thru pearls and bouquets
o i feel i feel faint thinking about the letter and how close it came to the waterfall the letter about
the old life the cabaret life the waterfall about the scenery about the identity of the women who are kept

by another woman who are of use a tricky design
the villainess how masculine how black her furpiece
enlivens the powder of her eyes her jaw is dangerously operated her head always slightly down
so her eyes seem how do they seem they seem poised for some movement away from their setting
the little white dog poised to meet her in her furs at the door or by the fire

from behind the train of her wedding dress thankfully the silver tray helps itself to the rings riding it over the platform before everyone except Jean knows who she ominously portends to be waiting in the line greeting the new couple she leans in and whispers about the expressions of the wedding guests curiosity incited it knows no bounds she blocks him in the parking lot she hems him in and lets him know lets him finally have it he should have read the letter she offered in the bois

Robert Bresson, 1901-1999.

Painter, before film career. Adapts the works of Georges Bernanos, Dostoyevsky, and Tolstoy into screenplays. Did not make films after 1983. What did he do until his death, the last fifteen years of his life?



What I want to see of his:


Money (1983)

Lancelot of the Lake (1971)

A gentle woman (1969)

Mouchette (1967)

Balthazar (1966)

Trial of Joan of Arc (1962)

Diary of a Country Priest (1951)
