The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972)

not sure if it can well and truly be called a french new wave film for a lot of reasons (not quite french, not released in precisely the right time period, etc.) but i think a good entry point to the kind of surrealist, vibes-oriented as opposed to narrative-oriented filmmaking that "foreign films" (especially European) tend to evoke / get clowned for in American media it's funny, it's bizarre, it has something to say but you might need a couple watches to get it (at least i did)

This Tribute to serge Gainsbourg (1988)

I have been known to hate on France for no particular reason, but this video convinced me that it is a special place. I don’t know the context nor do I want to. The scene is uncanny yet the emotion is so pure...dare I say, Lynchian?

my projector

Projector>conventional TV. Roku plugged in on projector was a huge advancement. I get a plain white wall during the day and a massive screen by night! Also you fully cannot watch TV unless it’s a rainy day or night because the lighting won’t work
