Could possibly stand up in court alright. Let us categorically state, in case Homeland security are listening, that you didn't go on to put the 'genou de Donagh' into said Yank and that you weren't at the time a possessor of a French film-loving radical Imam's beard.. Tombuktu... hmmm indeed - I think they've missed out on all the sub-rules about body hair :-> That one referred to <i>Les filles ne savent pas nager</i> must be proof that TV5 were operating on an even slimmer budget than Network 2 - as it definitely sounds like a 'straight to bargain bucket' release. Has long since disappeared to the bottom of the shallow end somewhere. As the main fixation of the set of rules appears to be nudity - probably best keeping away from Rohmers - as his films were pretty prudish in that regard. Most of the Godards will pass with flying colours though. Donagh - I think that quote came up in a couple of the obits alright. Could possibly stand up in court alright.

I got into an argument with an American once about <i>Le rayon vert</i> who fell back lazily on what the Gene Hackman character in <i>Night Moves</i> said, that watching one of his films was kind of like watching paint dry.
