FREE ON YOUTUBE Jean Eustache - La Maman Et La Putain

(YOU FIND THE WHOLE FILM WITH ENGLISH subtitles FREE ON YOUTUBE) If you want to rent the DVD of La Maman Et La Putain from us, you will be disappointed. It only runs with the original French sound. There were geeks like Sulgi who simply set out with the dictionary to understand Eustache's classic. What a job! An epic dialogue film! The problem: There is still no adequate DVD version. Worse still, you don't get the masterpiece as a silver disc at all. Today (2.9.18) but during my daily YouTube check I noticed that we can enjoy La Maman Et La Putain in good picture quality with English subtitles! Let's get going! Here comes THE unknown classic of the Nouvelle Vague!  Eustache's most famous film came to the cinemas in 1973 and an entire generation embraced this permanently lamenting slacker, who prefers to conduct endless conversations in Parisian cafes. Jean-Pierre Leaud plays Eustaches idol Alexandre. He lives with one woman and tells another that he loves her. Then there's the one who rejected him and various other women. Marie, played by Bernadette Lafont, lives with Alexandre and also supports him, since he usually stands "between two jobs". Veronika (Francoise Lebrun) is Alexandre's blind date in a cafe to which he presents his not really soaring thoughts (while his eyes follow other women in the immediate vicinity). Alexandre is not stupid, but neither is he intellectual. He does not make any significant progress in his self-discovery. He likes to babble about movies and about life (which often confuses him). He wears a dark coat and a scarf that reaches down to his knees. His friend wears the same. Alexandre spends the days holding Proust in front of him in Cafes, but not reading in it. I think, although Alexandre seems to be the center of La Maman Et La Putain, Eustaches film is more interested in his women characters. Couldn't it be that the women are just circling around him because they are curious about what strange things he will tell next? What idiocy is he about to expose? Leauds best role was that of the young Antoine Doinels, since then he has varied this as a childlike side in what is actually already an adult man. While Alexandre struts through the Paris cafes like a puppet, the real drama takes place in the character of Veronika. Veronica must know that Alexandre only talks to her about love while Marie is absent. When Veronika talks about herself, we experience deep and unadulterated knowledge of herself. The portrait of a childish man exerted enormous influence from his time - but it is time to see Eustaches film in a different way.....
