movies 1962

Jules et Jim (dir. Truffaut). It took me a long time to sort out that the one with an English name is French and the one with a French name is German. I find that in French a German accent sounds much like an English accent.

座頭市物語 (The Tale of Zatôichi) (#1; dir. Misumi). Good stuff. Unusual for the genre in that the hero draws his sword only about three times in all.

Lolita (dir. Kubrick).

続・座頭市物語 (The Tale of Zatôichi continues) (#2; dir. Mori). This is the shortest of the series (72 minutes) and a bit thin on story; but it is here that Ichi takes actions that will mark him as an outlaw, and also learns something of the woman he loved and lost.

Lawrence of Arabia (dir. Lean). I saw the first half before.
