Accattone is good, Teorema is terrible (much as the novel) and the Greek tragedies are even worse. Was right on everything he ever said on television and was a good poet, but an average literary writer.
>Godard
Most definitely yes, but suffers from the same problem as Bergman, i.e. 2/3 of everything he does is average (visually: in terms of writing he's almost always ok).

My best friend's brother is 17 and the prospect of reading a book for him is ridiculous. We once went on a quite long train trip and when he had no data on his phone he started complaining, so me and my friend, who are ten year older and grew up during the hipster fase when reading (or posing as a reader) was at least considered cool, suggest that he read a book. He laughed at us. "Yeah, a book." Then kept being angry at his phone while we were reading. I had my best reading sessions on trains during my university days, and keep doing it right now, but I feel like zoomers just don't contemplate the option of doing this. I also had to give some talks in high schools about careers in the humanities and almost no one wants to try - which is understandable, given the current state of the economy. In my high school year, 3 out of 21 people chose to study humanities, but it was at least considered cool, or there was a sense of importance to what we did, as if we were the people choosing to risk something for the passion of something "higher". Now the idea of reading as "higher" or even "cool" doesn't seem to exist among people that age. This is bad and good. Bad because of course zoomers are almost incapable of expressing themselves correctly: working as a TA I can confirm that their essays get worse every year because they very clearly don't read and are getting increasingly unable to express themselves verbally (e.g. my best friend's little brother from the train story has almost never wrote an ig story without typos, all he writes are cringy rap lyrics full of errors, terrible rhymes and methric mistakes that even the worst black rapper from 15 years ago would have been capable of avoiding). On the other hand this is good because it makes people like me, who are averagely well-read, look like gods on earth every time we open our mouth to speak. The more time passes and people "zoomify" themselves, the more powerful people who are capable of writing a formal email become. I secured a room abroad only because of that, can approach basically any stranger via email without sounding like a mentally ill person (although I am one), and I made at least 500 bucks in the last three months by proofreading applications for zoomers going into university who couldn't write a personal statement with a gun pointed at their head.
