Sinister: The Sinistre monde of POP

[Arantxa Sanz]

Hi all!

I am taking a course on European Cinema and this week and next one it will
be focused on Nouvelle Vague.We have to do research on our own on some
influences they received and acknowledged or how they influence other
artistic works,and prepare some presentation to show our conclusions to
the rest.Supposedly we have to be clever enough to unveil some hidden
ones...

Being aware of Isobel's 'in the face' fondness of 'Pierrot le Fou' or
'Jules et Jim',though all i know about filmic inspiration for Stuart is
Hal Hartley's movies,is there any explicit reference in Belle and
Sebastian lyrics/videos/artwork or/& The Gentle Waves (or other nineties
bands)arising from N.Vs films?

I have been told something related to 'Hurley's having dreams' ,but I am
not sure what it is,and 'Is it wicked ...?' video, but I have not seen
this latter.

'Masculin/Femenin' by Goddard was (allegedly)one of the first films
about how market had contaminated art,in special, music and offered a
bleak ,hopeless portrait of ye-ye scene.I have not seen this one
either,but I am trying to read the script to use it as a basis for my
work,and that's why I would like to find some 'experimental' confirmation
of G's possible influence in Stuart's well known opinion of musical
career and marketing.


Any contribution will be welcomed. Thanks all

Lurv
