Comments on: One Word: Emotion! Clip of the Day. http://blog.spout.com/2008/02/13/one-word-emotion-clip-of-the-day/ Daily coverage of what is truly interesting in the film world Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:36:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Glenn Kenny http://blog.spout.com/2008/02/13/one-word-emotion-clip-of-the-day/#comment-78955 Glenn Kenny Sat, 16 Feb 2008 23:46:05 +0000 http://blog.spout.com/2008/02/13/one-word-emotion-clip-of-the-day/#comment-78955 Karina, your observation "it seems safe to assume that one doesn’t undertake such trainspotting in regards to a film that they could take or leave," pretty much hits it on the head—I was obsessed with Pierrot before I was ever able to see it, and once I did, it didn't disappoint. And I think Rabin is dead wrong about its putative lack of emotion. The picture is charged with it—it's just that, as in the subsequent "Masculin-Feminine," the primary emotion is despair, which then curdles into hatred (for Karina, himself, anything else you'd care to name) in "Made in U.S.A." After which the emphasis on politics becomes an (unsuccessful) escape from emotion...

Okay, now I'm really embarrassed I've never seen this film. Oh and also, I remember reading that this is Kim Gordon's favorite movie. Samuel Fuller?!
