I got sucked into this by Ben Mankewitz and his guest on TCM. I should've known better because Ben believes the most productive period Hollywood was the 60s and 70s, which is everybody knows this when I produced a lot of boring snd pretentious trash. His guest was on before, last year, and recommended an awful Vietnam era movie that was bizarre incoherent confusing and pointless.
However for some reason I thought tonight would be different so I started watching " the meetings of Anna" This film really reinforces a lot of clichés about the French even though thr inaction (cannot see any action) takes place in Germany. The central figure is dull and dirty in every sense of the word. Because it's a French film there's no spoiler in saying there are Filthy people with poor hygiene and no clothes on. I don't think I've ever seen a French film people with people who kept on their clothes. And at least one frumpy lady who avoids showers and seems to wear no undies. LOL
But apart from that I couldn't really tell you anything about it because there's no action or story.. There's really nothing to say. The characters are given to long speeches and stories with little or no point. Coincidentally the Germans in the movie speak very good French.
If you have a broken lightbulb at home you might wanna munch on it while I watch this film so at least there's something mildly interesting going on in your life.
