The DVD rental service has sent me the first four episodes from series 1 of Curb Your Enthusiasm, the vehicle of Larry David after he left Seinfeld.
Strangely enough I had seen the first episode long ago on TV in Paris. It is cringingly clever and the plots are reminiscent of Seinfeld at its most acutely brilliant.
There isn’t the ensemble exuberance that made Seinfeld’s egocentric characters palatable.
A colleague who stayed in the apartment in Paris a few years back and who noticed the boxed sets of Seinfeld has given me Curb season 2 and I shall watch away before perhaps buying the boxed set of them.
The boxed set I have harvested though is 400 Coups and the other tales of Antoine Doinel.
This was on special offer via the DVD buying site. It is 50 years since the Nouvelle Vague unleashed their iconoclasm on an unsuspecting world.
The British Film Institute here on the South Bank is holding a retrospective of the finest creations from that period.
Seems de rigueur to dip in later.
It would give a filmic symmetry to the day.
