KNIGHT AND DAY (2010) USA colour 117m.
Directed by James Mangold.
Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz.
Third watch!
First time I rated it 6/10. The next time 8/10.
This third watch was the extended 117m. cut. I maintained the 8/10 and added a small heart of favourism. A very agreeable action film with none of the shortcomings of the Bondage canon.
HUGO OCH JOSEFIN (1967) Sweden colour 79m.
Directed by Kjell Grede.
Cast: Fredrik Becklén and Marie Öhman.
Beppe Wolgers, Inga Landgré, Helena Brodin, Bellan Roos ao.
Based on children's books by swedish author Maria Gripe, this turned out to be a marvel of BIZARRE quality film about children.
Bizarre as childhood was.
Beautiful and surreal.
Great rewatchability.
I finally found the (2008) DVD with subtitles in english, norwegian and swedish.
COMPLETELY ENCHANTING
Much talk.
Nothing really happens.
In the end nothing has changed.
Perhaps!
Colour code: definitely blue.
I have loved every encounter with the cinema of Eric Rohmer this far.
KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES!
Rewatch 2016-07-21.
The last time I watched this, several years ago, I thought it was a nice OLD horror story; entertaining but obviously old-looking.
This time I was really surprised how well-paced, interesting and fast-flowing it felt. It works very well in 2016 as well as it must have done in 1951.
WHAT A JOYFUL WATCH it is even now!
Credited directors are Christian Nyby and Howard Hawks.
Kenneth Tobey and Margaret Sheridan have top billing.…
