Originally posted by Sahuaro Sorry -- I got distracted. I had no prior interest in the movie because all I'd heard of it was the title. I read the article and was both fascinated and horrified. Thanks for posting it!
The facts are horrifying - the film is warmhearted, unsentimental and in some parts even humorous.
I was with my daughter and my two youngest grandchildren, 5 and 13. I usually love animation movies, but not this one so much and neither did the kids. The youngest was too young for this film, the 13-year old was not as impressed as he usually is - too much singing, too little action.

I thought that video and DVD would be the end for cinemas but that didn't happen. People still go to the movies a lot but it's a different experience now - the screen is much bigger, the sound is much louder and better, popcorn and coke all around.
In February in Cinematheque there are several "In memoriam" cycles
Rossana Podesta
("Le ore nude" and "homo Eroticus"😉
Georges Lautner
("Le seins de glace", "On aura tout vu"😉.
Two films in a row , in Cinematheque.
"La ore nude" or Naked Hours was the first. It was hommage to Rossana Podesta who died last December. Based on Alberto Moravia's novel "Appuntamento al mare". Art film. Keir Dullea, who later starred in Kubricks Odyssey, played a young student of astrophysics (!; funny).
The second - light, silly comedy "Homo Eroticus" with Lando Buzzanca.
The Monuments Men, a fictionalized account based on the true story of the "men and women from thirteen nations who comprised the MFAA section during World War II. Many were museum directors, curators, art historians, artists, architects, and educators. Together they worked to protect monuments and other cultural treasures from the destruction of World War II. In the last year of the war, they tracked, located, and in the years that followed returned more than five million artistic and cultural items stolen by Hitler and the Nazis."

Today again double programme
18:30 "Le pacha" from 1968 with Jean Gabin.
Very fast and furious, modern noir crime story in British, almost american style of seventies...
20:30 "Les seins de glace" with Alain Delon, Mireille Darc and Claude Brassseur.
Yes, "Peggy Lister" (gorgeous Mireille Darc) is crazy.

I'm a comic-book geek. I've seen all the movies based on Marvel's characters (I love Stan Lee!), and significantly fewer movies based on DC Comics characters (I missed the last Batman movie AND the last Superman movie). I'll be right there when the Captain America sequel comes out in April.
But I *still* have yet to see Catching Fire. 😞
