Angst (1983)
It's not a Hannibal Lecter like killer
Well, Gaspar Noe may be right when he said "There's another film called "Angst" or "Fear" which in France was called "Schizophrenia" but it was banned theatrically. It's got an X-rating so it never came out. It could maybe come out today. It's Austrian. One of the masterpieces of the decade. The director never did another movie though. He had too many debts so he stopped directing.". This shocking and disturbing picture from 1983 features a brilliant performance from Erwin Leder as a serial killer who gets released from prison only to go on a killing spree in the very day he is released. A very good and original camera-work like high angle shots, p.o.v's(of a old woman who gets strangulated etc.), uncomfortably close-ups of mouths(see the first scene in the dinner) combined with a chilly music composed by Klaus Schulze adds to the disturbing atmosphere of the film. And one can't forget one of the first lines narrated by the killer "The fear in her eyes and the knife in the chest - that is my last memory of mother."
Le saut à la couverture (1895)
Jump onto the blanket!
In this 41 seconds long film we see four men stand holding a couverture(blanket in french) while a fifth man wearing a hat stands watching. A sixth man is seeing running toward them trying to jump onto it. He is trying this unsuccessfully twice in a row failing to jump high enough onto the blanket. On the third attempt he is able to jump and spin in the air, nearly clearing in the blanket. His fourth attempt is a successful one and he rolls on the blanket and land on his feet at the other side of the blanket. Then he runs for a final attempt but he gets stuck in the blanket even the four men attempts to help him. This is quite amusing but nothing else happens because this film like any other Lumiere Films is a very old film and should be viewed from a historical perspective!
