    When I haven't seen anything from the week's director, I'm always torn about rushing to see something so I can contribute or waiting to see what the consensus is so that I can have a more informed choice about what to see.
    Judging by the scores for Army of Shadows so far, I don't think you could go wrong with it.
    Out of ****:
    Chef- ** 1/2
    The Interview- ** 1/2
    White Bird in a Blizzard- ** 1/2
    Frank- *** 1/2
    A Walk Among the Tombstones- ***

    Bob le flambeur (1956) [7]
    L'Armée des ombres (1969) [8]

    I need to rewatch Les Enfants terribles, Le Samouraï, and Le Cercle rouge, but don't remember being terribly keen on any of them.
    Twelve years later:

    Le Silence de la mer (1949) warm
    Les Enfants terribles (1950) spicy
    Quand tu liras cette lettre... (1953) warm
    Bob le flambeur (1956) spicy
    Deux hommes dans Manhattan (1959) warm
    Léon Morin, prêtre (1961) warm
    Le Doulos (1962) spicy
    Le Deuxième souffle (1966) mild
    Le Samouraï (1967) spicy
    L'Armée des ombres (1969) spicy
    Le Cercle rouge (1970) warm
    Un Flic (1972) warm
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    The last book I read was...
    The Complete Short Stories by Mark Twain
