The french

[jenks]

First time in a cinema since before the pandemic. Watched the French Dispatch - a joyous homage to a certain set of French and American cliches. Probably many people on here will not be that fond, considering it cute or some such. But I liked it - sometimes things can be light and delightful.

I notice that Fragonard one with the boy looking up the girl's skirts has been expensively restored... he is French right? Or was.

[IdleRich]

With Cezanne, I know he is a big link between Impressionism and Cubism and was very modern at the time, but I have to say that while recognising his importance I don't actually enjoy his work at all.

It’s another thread where people just get to say things are shit, just yet more philistinism - tiresome.
If you don’t like something (and I am not referring to you @IdleRich cos you don’t do this) don’t call it shit, just allow others to enjoy it.
