I have seen much more movies during the GIFF 2011 (soon on this blog).

Today (February, 8th 2011) on Google Maps, we can see another graffiti, still in a Banksy-style somehow.

Also inspired by the Oscars, a picture of Marion Cotillard was drawn in March 2008 after the Oscars ceremony.

Not so much time before another graffiti was there, representing an “older” star.

A couple of years ago a famous French figure occupied the wall : Mr A., aka André.

We started with Banksy and end up with the monster he created Mr Brainwash, aka M-BW (according to his documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop).

2008

• Valzer (2007) : very interesting Italian film made of 2 very long takes in a hotel, mixing different small stories.
• a spanish movie (can’t remember the name!) : a company goes to the countryside for a seminar, and all the secrets gets revealed

2009

• Liverpool : a very depressing and bad Argentinian film
• Parlez-moi de la pluie (2008) : a French comedy, not the best one of the duo Bacri-Jaoui.
• Idiots and Angels (2008) a wonderful dark animated movie of Bill Plympton.
• Borderline (2008) : filmed in Montréal, very innovative storytelling and visuals.

2010

• Agora (2009) directed by Alejandro Amenábar : at the time I was disappointed by this Hollywood film, though the reconstitution of Alexandria are amazing.
• Cracks (2009) directed by Jordan Scott : in a boarding school the relations between girls.
• L’épine dans le coeur (2009) directed by Michel Gondry : Gondry makes a documentary on his aunt, who was teacher in small villages. Very touching and always creative as Gondry can be.
  
• Rage (2009) directed by Sally Potter : a very formally innovative film, could be theatre.
