"I came across this at a time when I was obsessed with Louis Malle and purchased the box set of films that he made between his features. Vive le Tour shows his passion as a camera operator and cycling fanatic. Malle really gets in the mix with these guys, driving alongside the riders and capturing the race at another time. You can see Eddy Merckx swing into a café for a beer, stuffing a can in his jersey on the way out. Nuns, priests, cats, dogs, and the rest of the population of France gather on the roadside and cheer the racers through the villages on this seemingly national holiday. The film is a poetic series of candid snapshots from one of the best eyes in cinema."

"I like how fragmented Atlanta is. It just belies people's expectations of what a character is going to be and their socio-economic situations. I just feel like there's a lot of humour on the show but it's also dealing with a lot of heavy, serious stuff and race issues. I also just like how it's fragmented and artful. It feels more filmic to me than TV. I also like 'This Is America' - both the video and the song. I thought that was one of the most brilliant things. It's so hard to make comments about culture, and then also the entertainment world, as well as the rap world. That was amazing. That reflects a lot of the attitude of Atlanta, as well. It's being self-reflective"

One of the better Purge films (0 more)
Better than expected
Thought I'd check this out as it looked OK from the Trailer. The Purge films are a mixed bag, the first was very good, a couple of OK sequels but the last one released was very poor. Thankfully this is definitely one of the better ones. Race and class divide play a big part of this one. Chaos ensues as Purgers carry on after the 12 hours are up. Can the group get to safety and fight to stay alive.
Good to see something a bit different and the tension builds as the group try to get to safety. With no end in sight or help from authorities it changes the stakes. Worth checking out.
