The other side of the French New Wave

Throughout the module about French New Wave I had the chance to see one great film after the other many of which I hadn't even heard of before. For this reason I want to share some of the less known titles with you and advice you to watch them because they each represent different facets of the movement and you will notice that the 'New Wave' had many more components rather than Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard only!
I put them in order according to my personal taste (I excluded the most famous such as The 400 Blows, Breathless, Pierrot le Fou and Hiroshima Mon Amour):

1. Lola, Jacques Demy (1961)

This scene is breathtaking:

2. The Dreamers, Bernardo Bertolucci (2003)

3. Les Bonnes Femmes, Claude Chabrol (1960)

4. Cléo de 5 à 7, Agnès Varda (1962)

Where have I been?

I have been absent for a long, long time, and I kept asking myself why I couldn't find anything to write about. It's been a tough couple of months and now that uni is over and I only have 3 essays and one exam left I feel like time has passed by again without asking for my permission. 

How on earth is it already April? How on earth am I graduating next year? And, most importantly, where has all my passion for films, books, art in one word, gone?

I think I got the answer while watching the sunset on the beach in Brighton. This is where my passion went, I thought, in living. In taking my eyes off of fiction texts for a while in order to recuperate my own lust for life. 

But don't worry, I am ready to start again now and I will leave you some pictures of the city I took over these past weeks. 

There are no film pictures for once, and like Francois Truffaut I am still wondering "Is the cinema more important than life?"

I think the answer lies here.

And this is me at the Martin Creed's exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, I think there isn't a funniest way to show the simplicity of happiness.
