297 Au hasard Balthazar

[MichaelB]

Remake announced, in colour and with a huge global star.

Which I'd normally assume would be one of the worst ideas imaginable, until I saw who was attached as director. Granted, he's had some huge misfires in his wayward career (about which he's always been cheerfully open, even introducing a screening of one of them as "the worst film ever made"), but a rather better track record of making flat-out masterpieces out of the most unpromising material. So I'm guardedly optimistic for now.
