College Student With No Life

Thanks for asking, and yes, so sad! Well, it’s easy for me to pick Possession as my favorite Żuławski. I know that’s the popular choice, but it’s just too perfect. As for Rivette, a much harder decision. His influence was profound on French cinema of course, as much for his early criticism as for his films. And I imagine I’d love Out 1, but it is next to impossible to see, so I haven’t yet watched it. I’ll have to go with L'Amour fou (1969), which is I guess rather odd in this context, because like Possession it is also about a relationship falling apart! Thanks again for the ask, I am crazy about both of these film makers.
