- THE US AS A CULTURAL PRESENCE IN EUROPE
Lecturer: R. Kroes
We watched a long interview with Quentin Tarantino, where he discusses (among many other things), the movie Breathless. By the way, I just found this Tarantino interview where he briefly discusses ... A bout de souffle!
Prof. Kroes asked how many of us had preferred Breathless over A bout de souffle. This is my count: Jaime, William, Gejo and myself. I made a comment on the issue of the different audiences targeted by Godard in 1960 and McBride in 1982 (see below.) Then an interesting discussion followed about the "intellectual" character of some European movies and theater pieces -- with a reference to Bertold Brecht.
