Pleasure and Violence
It seemed to me that Weekend is, in many ways, full of extremes. I giggled a lot, I was surprised a few times, and there were certainly some moments of displeasure or digust. I was wondering what everyone thought were the most and least pleasurable moments of the film. What made those moments such? There are so many different kinds of humor and violence in the film, I'd just like to know what people responded to. Also, I'm secretly just wondering if anyone got the same kick out of the interaction with the singing guy in the phonebooth that I did. On a related note, do you think that the film's reception is important in a way similar to Third Cinema's? Obviously I don't feel like I'm part of a guerrilla group for having watched it, but I think that the group experience made the film more interesting. Would anyone else agree?
