RIP MARIE-FRANCE PISIER (1944-2011)

I think she is as beautiful and elegant as Anouk Aimee, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Stephane Audran.

I think the casting in DOMBAIS ET FILS is spot-on, because Caroline Bourg, who plays the daughter of Marie-France Pisier in this miniseries, looks like Kristin Scott Thomas.

Marie-France Pisier's films that I saw:

1.CELINE AND JULIE GO BOATING (1974, Jacques Rivette, A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++)

2.THE PHANTOM OF LIBERTY (1974, Luis Buñuel, A++++++++++)

3.TRANS-EUROP-EXPRESS (1967, Alain Robbe-Grillet, A++++++++++)

4.DOMBAIS ET FILS (2007, Laurent Jaoui, A++++++++++)

5.TIME REGAINED (1999, Raoul Ruiz, A+)

6.THE BRONTE SISTERS (1979, André Téchiné, A+)

7.THE FRENCH ATLANTIC AFFAIR (1979, Douglas Heyes, 278 min)

8.THE LADY BANKER (1980, Francis Girod, A+)

9.THE ICE RINK (1998, Jean-Philippe Toussaint, A+)

I'm also saddened to know that Ken Russell suffered from a stroke.

FAVORITE QUOTE FROM SONTHAYA SUBYEN

Favorite quote from Sonthaya Subyen:

"If a Thai filmmaker wants to make a film which relies on extremely talented performers like John Cassavetes' films, the stars of that film should be Dujdao Vadhanapakorn and Ornanong Thaisriwong. Dujdao can give an extremely intense performance like Isabelle Huppert, Isabelle Adjani, Margit Carstensen and Sabine Timoteo."

"Dujdao, Ornanong, and Sumontha Suanpolrat should star in a Thai film adapted from THREE SISTERS by Anton Chekhov."
