Going Places, John Turturro, 2017 Can’t wait (love that guy)
Turturro is directing, starring and wrote the screenplay, inspired by the 1974 French film “Going Places” (Les Valseuses), which starred Miou-Miou, Gérard Depardieu and Patrick Dewaere, directed by and based on the novel by Bertrand Blier.
As with the French film, (the French title is slang for “the testicles”) Turturro’s version follows a trio of misfits whose irreverent, sexually charged dynamic evolves into a love story as their spontaneous and flippant attitude backfires time and again. In the French film, Depardieu and Dewaere played young men who travel around France, committing petty crimes and running from the law. When they make enemies with a gun-toting hairdresser, their journey becomes one of constant escape.
After having watched Deck the Halls and Bullet Proof Monk, I am now watching my second favourite cult/B movie Hellboy 2: The Golden Army on Channel 5, followed by the Green Lantern on the same channel… feeding my need for the visual and the cray cray.
lol yes, Caché warrants multiple viewings. I saw it 5 years ago. I want to watch it again, but it is a bit harrowing.
I actually re-watched Melancholia about 2 weeks ago. Gorgeously shot.
Having watched American Gangster last night… after having seen it way back when, it’s madness is still making me shake my head in disbelief today. An awesome watch, and a great way to escape reality for a while within the madness of the unfolding story and brash 70s getup.
Sounds fun, and way better than the shitty Eurovision Song Contest parties people throw here and all across Europe… I can thankfully say I’ve never been to one. Too cheesy for me…
I’m watching 22 Jump Street at the mo… not really cult, but really funny. I’ve been watching ‘funny’ today… I think I need the reprieve
