I enjoyed Nouvelle Vague more than I expected to as well. So much intelligence, wonderfully packaged. I love the way Goddard quotes his influences off the top of his head. Like this one from Sartre, which I looked up and comes from his biography of Genet, Saint Genet. “Genius is not a gift but a way out invented in desperate cases.”
Great stuff. Funny thing is, I was just about to dig into Nouvelle Vague now that it's on Netflix and am preparing for that same disappointment - so more encouraged now...
I hope tomorrow's journey on that Big River called Jazz will help you through a few minutes, as you say: move you forward, and then maybe watch Yolanda and the Thief to move you forward through another couple of hours...
