I finally tackled Rohmer this past weekend, watching all six "Moral Tales". The two shorts were a little rudimentary, but I liked the features, particularly My Night at Maud's and Claire's Knee. Hope to see some more soon. I'd not even heard of the other two French films on your list.

"In a Year With 13 Moons" - 9.5 One of the key Fassbinder I'm yet to see. It sounds pretty grim, so I've put it off a few times.

It's grim all right, grimmer than "Cries and Whispers" (which at least had the poignant, semi-hopeful grace note at the movie's closing) But Fassbinder's movie bleak and nihilistic and very heavy going on. I do find the lead character fascinating in her chronically pathetic state. Elvira makes Carrie White seem like a cheerleader (amost, not quite). And I'm not going to spoil it for you, because you should see it, but there is one scene (earlier one) that is relentlessly bloody and graphic. I think the scene is much more upsetting than just anything I've ever come across in a movie. Have you seen "Ali: Fear Eats the Soul" by RW Fassbinder? Fun fact _ John Waters loves "In a Year of 13 Monns"., He said it was full proof reliable if that's what you are in the mood for, all the human depravity with what'slef as Elvira's battering ram beaten all to hell heart. And yet she still lives among onus.
