i like both films, but Le Boucher seems a weaker sibling to Que La Bete Meure, and i have to say i was impressed by what Lyne did with the other film’s story in Unfaithful.

Thanks, Girish and Danny! Girish, you can find Bazin’s discussion of the amalgam in “An Aesthetic of Reality,” a 1948 essay that was translated for What Is Cinema?.

Ah, just clarifying: how underappreciated CHABROL is…

Great work as always! Excellent contribution Dan. I like how bringing in different voices help your video essays subtly shift analytical styles…which is all the more interesting when you (Kevin) are doing a back and forth with someone whose interest or attention is drawn to something slightly different…

Kevin & Dan — This is such a fun, wonderful post. Great work!

Dan, I’m going have to dig up that Bazin essay that talks about the “amalgam” created by professional and non-professonal acting. I don’t believe I’ve ever read it.

Kevin, I had forgotten that the dance-club scene in La Femme Infidele was recorded in one single, continuous take. But it was nice to be guided through the take in your clip.

I saw Dan a couple of hours after he recorded this conversation with you and we talked for a good while about how under-appreciated he is.
