Not just Breathless, the nouvelle vague was born first as a film cricisism group and they basically made critical analysis something that was okay to publicly do. It started the idea that you could do something artistic with film and get some public recognition. They even brough attention back to Hitchcock when he wasn't even getting tv work in the states, all the respect he gets now is thanks to those french guys kissing his ass in the late 60's.
He also made it possible for Truffaut to get funding for his real movies, so at least you have to be a bit thankful of the guy.

I mentioned it before, but you might really like Noriko's Dinner Table. If you find out you like japan stuff consider Love & Pop too, but it's a very local take on the "else-ness in everyday life" so it might not be your thing.

Melville was a genre genius. Did you watch Ghost Dog The Way of the Samurai? It's heavily inspired in Le Samourai while still being its own thing, very chill movie too.

The only thing that keeps me alive is the idea of some manchild in the states being forced to read my work.

Okay, wait, no.
You're definition of "artfullness" is the same I call "artistic intention", you're just being tautological and demanding that art is defined for it fullness of art while I'm saying that the quality comes from the desire to be art in the production of it. It's an on off thing, not a value level.
I never said anything about high or low art, it all started with you saying that a Michael Bay movie has artistic intent, which it doesn't, it's made through established mechanisms without any desire to be a work of art but to entertrain and sell as much as it is supposed to sell if you do the things they are supposed to do. It's a sausage made to be consumed as one.

I completely agree with that word and I'd really really would like to learn it. Could you post some approximation of how an english speaker would pronounce it (spanish would be even better, but I'm assuming enlgish is our common ground)?
In spanish we have "arte" for art and "artesanía" for handicraft. And of course on of the biggest differences is the intention of the work (but according to Hegel the fact that the public and peers don't take it as art and that it is fulfilled it's function by being used would also make it "not art").

This whole discussing started with someone accusing me of using art as value (Michael Bay's movies are art just like Tarkovsky or some other example), and it was never the case. Which doesn't mean that something can be made with artistic techniques without being art (there was the example of a painting made with a set criteria to fulfill vs a painting made with a general objective set at the beginning, the first one not being art because the author is filling blanks while the second one is not different from the artist deciding that he'll now do a painting only with shades of blue which doesn't take away from the artistic spirit of the work)

I don't know if you're the first guy and we were doing circles because of language or if you came later and it got confusing.

I have friends who read Foucault in HS and their understanding was only lacking in that they hadn't some life experiences to correctly interpret the work; usually they took his ideas as part of a communist/libertarianist banner, which is sort of waste. His stuff grows with a deeper pool of knowledge, but you CAN just read him unlike many other philosophers that people read anyway without a good context.

Also, anime girl would be more correct ;^)

The pic shows quite the contrary. But at least you're not the spastic one.
