A wish I knew French :P[/quote]

Okay, this time with lyrics (although it might be better not to know what the lyrics say, they were not written by the greatest living French poet):

L’amour est bleu

Doux, doux, l’amour est doux
Sweet, sweet, love is sweet
Douce est ma vie, ma vie dans tes bras
Sweet is my life, lying in your arms
Doux, doux, l’amour est doux
Sweet, sweet, love is sweet
Douce est ma vie, ma vie près de toi
Sweet is my life, when I’m with you

Bleu, bleu, l’amour est bleu
Blue, blue, love is blue
Berce mon cœur, mon cœur amoureux
Rocks my heart, my loving heart
Bleu, bleu, l’amour est bleu
Blue, blue, love is blue
Bleu comme le ciel qui joue dans tes yeux
Blue like the sky playing in your eyes

Comme l’eau, comme l’eau qui court
Like water, like running water
Moi, mon cœur court après ton amour
My heart and I run after your love

Gris, gris, l’amour est gris
Grey, grey, love is grey
Pleure mon cœur lorsque tu t’en vas
Cries my heart when you leave

Gris, gris, le ciel est gris
Grey, grey, the sky is grey
Tombe la pluie quand tu n’es plus là
The rain falls when you’re gone

Le vent, le vent gémit
The wind, the wind howls
Pleure le vent lorsque tu t’en vas
The wind cries when you’re leaving
Le vent, le vent maudit
The wind, the wind is cursed
Pleure mon cœur quand tu n’es plus là
Cries my heart when you’re gone

Bleu, bleu, l’amour est bleu
Blue, blue, love is blue
Le ciel est bleu lorsque tu reviens
The sky is blue when you return
Bleu, bleu, l’amour est bleu
Blue, blue, love is blue
L’amour est bleu quand tu prends ma main
Love is blue when you take my hand

Fou, fou, l’amour est fou
Crazy, crazy, love is crazy
Fou comme toi et fou comme moi
Crazy like you, crazy like me
Bleu, bleu, l’amour est bleu
Blue, blue, love is blue
L’amour est bleu quand je suis à toi
Love is blue when I’m yours

Indeed, not great, but two things are worth noting:

  • The song played over the credits, starting with a whistled theme you expect from a spaghetti, but slowly evolving into a more classic tune, and finally, when the choir takes over, sounding like the kind of musical themes used for fifties American cavalry westerns. Remarkable.

  • The finale, not a shootout, but a Zorro like swordout. Great idea.

Good acting by Woods and (especially) Infante, by the way

Ah… I forgot the swordout… I think I’ll go back and mention that.

Scherp has a review of Boot Hill for your reading enjoyment.

A review of Kid Terror of the West is now at the site. For those of you with kids who have seen this, is it too crude or is it a good one for kids?

Never thought I would see a review of this one.

Sounds all very cute, but with all that farting and good guys pissing over bad guys I wonder what kind of audience they had in mind

Suitable for kids?
My kid is 25 so it doesn’t make much sense to put her to the test

See, that’s kind of what I was thinking. It’s obviously a kid movie, but it’s so crass at times, you have to wonder if you’d want to show it to your kids.

A review of Two Faces of the Dollar is now up.

Scherp’s got a review of Seven Dollars on the Red

[url]http://fistfulofpasta.com/index.php?go=reviews/7dollarsss[/url]

The review captures the film excactly as I remember it. The end is good, everything else only routine stuff.
