A storm of Bastille Day links. An Index. UPDATED.
Here I'll collect links to our own Bastille Day posts and any others our blogging buddies may offer. Just leave me a note in the comments or in an email and I'll be sure to update the list. I will also throw in some links to some pieces about France and French films that I feel should be read around this time of year. But that's for later. For now, here's what we can give you:
- My image essay about a favorite moment in J'ai Pas Sommeil.
- Jennifer Stewart on Contempt.
- Claire Twisselman on Pierrot le fou and her accompanying, murderous image-essay.
- Mark Haslam on France as a place of film. With thoughts on Kieslowski's Bleu.
- An omnibus image essay from all our posts today.
- I missed Playtime in 70mm, regretfully, but Max Goldberg did not. Dig the 4th graf.
- Over at Six Martinis and the Seventh Art, shahn (who I had the pleasure of meeting this weekend at the SF Silent Film Fest) offers a delightful little post titled, quite simply, bastille day 2008, with stills from James White's Paris Exhibition Films 1900.
- David Hudson gives us a nod as well as pointing to other cool links about The French.
- Glenn Kenny's newest post is three scenes from three decades, each about l'auteur in relation to l'autre l'auteur formidable, Jean-Luc Godard. Earlier this month he brought up anti-Semitism and Godard and that Brody book. He also reviewed the new Criterion disc of Tati's Trafic at The Auteurs' Notbook.
- That Brody book: Everything is Cinema
. And that silly Stephanie Zacharek review which has a few people riled. Like Craig Keller. David Phelps has the most interesting reaction I've read.
- Speaking of David Phelps, he's a big Rivette fan. --On Out 1. --On Celine et Julie.
- Jacques-Rivette.com
- Girish's recent Andre Bazin post.
- Tom Sutpen's Hitchcock/Truffaut Tapes series.
- From the ROUGE archives: Dominique Païni's According to JLG...; Nicole Brenez's À propos de Nice and the Extremely Necessary, Permanent Invention of the Cinematic Pamphlet; Fergus Daly's Maurice Pialat: A Cinema of Surrender; Serge Daney on Philippe Garrel's L’Enfant secret; Luc Moullet's The Green Garbage Bins of Gilles Deleuze.
- French Touch sexyman Sebastien Tellier will hit North America at the end of the month. Discobelle has a new Boys Noize remix and the dates.
Thanks for reading! We hope you enjoy our odd enthusiasms and we look for yours as well. Now we plan to go eat some cheese and drink some wine, maybe even down some moules frites or, um, a ratatouille. If you didn't get around to posting anything today, on the fourteenth proper, don't worry: I'll continue to update this list as things pop up online, here and elsewhere. --RWK

I'm off to enjoy a Gauloise and some creme brulee.
Hey there, thanks for the contribution, shahn! As usual, it's a great arrangement, a tight little argument. And, of course, it was a real pleasure meeting you this weekend at the Fest and taking in some fine cinema.
