Anyone on the list ever see the movie Breathless by Jean-Luc Goddard (A Bout de Souffle pour les francais)? Anyone ever hear the B&S demo "Hurley's having Dreams."? Anyone notice the sample of the former in the latter (piano music fades into Jean Seberg "Allo Michel")?

Have I seen BREATHLESS??? Yes, thanks to a French Cinema class (it was amazing that we even watched Godard and Truffaut. My prof wanted to watch films like DIVA and COUP DE TORCHON in addition to Cocteau's LA BELLE ET LA BETE... c'mon... And we had to write a paper comparing the Cocteau version to the Disney version. I'm pretty sure my paper ended up being a scathing criticism of the assignment and her character, but I did get an A in the class.) A very beautiful film, and, somehow, very B&S, though I haven't ever heard the sample in "Hurley's Having dreams." The stylish striped outfit that the young-- oh what's the American girl's first name? Patricia?-- gamine wears throughout the movie is somehow reminiscent of the first Barbie (the one with the slanty, blue-eyeshadow smothered eyes, pursed red lips, high ponytail and bangs) and her black and white striped bathing suit, which, in turn, reminds me of the cover of 3,6,9... But there I go making image associations again... So what was the point of this message?? -Kristen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
