Jean-Pierre Melville: Vingt-quatre heures de la vie d’un clown and Le Silence de la mer
Description
Chris has taken over the sports nonsense from me for this Melville series, so without further ado: Baseball has sped up spring training games to such a blazing fast speed with the pitch clock that it's given us even more time to pay attention to wild and crazy NBA & NHL trade deadlines. But the award for "What is even going on?", as always, goes to the NFL. Any team in the league can sign Lamar Jackson (for $250 million and 2 1st rd picks) but only Baltimore has even offered him a contract Carolina has traded up to 1st overall to draft a QB but to do so gave away their top WR. And somewhere out there your favorite team is probably just waiting to do something between now and week 1 that is met with all those reaction gifs of people looking around in utter bewilderment.
This episode, we're starting our new series! We'll be going through the films of Jean-Pierre Melville, starting off with Vingt-quatre heures de la vie d'un clown (24 Hours in the Life of a Clown) and Le Silence de la mer (The Silence of the Sea).
