La Collectionneuse

La Collectionneuse (1967) ★★★★

"La collectionneuse offers a fascinating portrait of an era and a sensibility; Rohmer is as interested in what the dandies of ’68 are saying as he is interested in how these young people talk, behave and interact with each other. The tangled links between intellect and emotions fascinate Rohmer, as much as the counter-cultural atmosphere of holiday dandyism." - senses of cinema

Listen here you're old villain. J'ai toujours regretté de n'être né pas riche. Mais si j'étais riche, ce que vous appelez mon dandysme serait de la facilité. Ça manquerait totalement d'héroisme. Or je ne conçois pas un dandy sans héroisme.

Pretty girls mp3
Pretty girls, pretty girls they never get the joke
But funny girls, funny girls are always alcoholics
Sporty girls get up so early
Business girls need men with dollars
Me I just know puppy love, cause they always bring their leash and collar

Final track of the album: (Ignore the shit unofficial video.)



No idea why they've left Davey out. One of those songs that will always remind me of the place and time where I first heard it; lying on a bench in Biarritz soaking up the sun after travelling in the Basque country for three days with almost continuous rain fall.

Train Suicides

Last night I dreamt Richard Branson was going to share out billions of pounds, a few million for each randomly picked person walking in the streets of London. Of course everyone went nuts and became desperate to get a ride to the City. One guy even tried to jump on a moving train from a bridge. He died. I woke up.

And the headline in today's tabloid paper (Iltalehti): Man fell on the roof of a train and died. (A 23-year-old guy from my current home town Turku)
