Bob le Flambeur

Happy Easter, to those who celebrate! My family does, but not in a religious way. We get together for a huge, delicious brunch, and relaxing together We also celebrated my cousin Jess' 21st birthday, since she was home from college. It was a lot of fun, and I didn't really feel like coming home and settling down to something serious.  

The art for this movie looks so much more interesting than how I felt the actual movie was. Blah, had it been a different day, I might have been in more of a mood for a slow, moody film, but today, I really wasn't. I wanted something a bit distracting, maybe fun or dramatic, where this was all image and surl. So, today's movie was Bob le Flambeur (Bob the Gambler or High Roller), directed by Jean-Pierre Melville in 1955. To be honest, I think I just wanted to watch the Hawks game like a doofus. I'd still rather be doing that. I think this is just a movie that I need to re-visit on another day, in a different mood, you know?
