After settling in Aix, France, in 1899, Cézanne ventured daily into the surrounding Provencal landscape in search of subjects to paint. Chateau Noir, a recently constructed neo-Gothic castle designed to mimic aged ruins, captivated him. He repeatedly represented this structure and also painted from its grounds, where he had an unobstructed view of nearby Mont Sainte-Victoire, another favored subject. As is typical of landscapes executed late in his career, Cćzanne applied thick paint in broad, multihued swatches.

There's also a nice contrast between the lines, forms, and movement within the work. The trees create this upward thrust and swirl around the edges of the piece while the building cascades gently downhill in the center.

A painting of a lovely chateau
Perched on a lofty plateau
Cezanne deserves praise

"The paintings were a little odd, because this artist was a Primitive, unable to paint or to draw, and hailed as a genius by people who ought to have known better. Purple houses that might have ben drawn by a five-year-old child straggled drunkenly across vermilion streets that led to nowhere and meant nothing; men with green faces struggled mysteriously and perhaps discreditably with ladies who had square blue breasts."
The landowner's wife says, "Let's get out of here. People must be mad if they like things like that."

Curtis delivers this line in a costume drama, something set in the Middle Ages I think, but with his customary Bronx/Brooklyn accent -- wildly out of place for the movie's setting.

The one in the link is a different one. You can tell because the one in the gallery is missing the branches in the top right. The castle is lifted more too. Cezanne painted many versions of the same subject. These are two similar paintings.

"The Black Shield of Falworth" Apparently Curtis couldn't do a Brit accent so he substituted Brooklyn and no one cared.

Not my favorite sword and sandals movie but Charles Laughton was great in his role.
Posted by: Tuna at December 08, 2023

Grand casting, not only with Laughton but with Olivier as Crassus, the richest man in Rome, and John Gavin as the young Julius Caesar (who in real life was in his mid-twenties during the Spartacus-led slave revolt).

In the early 1870s his style changed. Working alongside Camille Pissarro in the open air, Cézanne turned to landscapes and adopted the impressionists' broken brushwork and brighter colors. He exhibited with them in 1874 and 1877. Beginning in the late 1870s and increasingly through the next decade, Cézanne's handling of paint became more ordered and systematic. Back in Provence, rejected by critics and working in isolation, his style developed independently. His "constructive stroke," as it is often described, results from penetrating analysis. It represents rather than imitates visual effects. Color relationships render the fundamental nature and connectedness of what Cézanne saw and felt. In his late paintings, those made after about 1895, these color harmonies become more sonorous, autumnal, and the paintings more meditative and melancholy.

No. Warai-otoko summed it up in 135.
Though there was one funny scene. Ray's parents (Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts) are arguing, and Doris refers to herself as "your trophy wife."
Peter: "A trophy wife? What contest in Hell did I win?"

There was that, but there were also quiet moments when Frasier is alone with his ex-cop father, and they speak seriously. Those worked. They reminded me of scenes from the Ellery Queen mysteries, where Ellery spoke with his father the Inspector.

I object, Your Honor! I place in evidence The Dick Van Dyke Show. Rob Petrie was a talented writer and competent at handling situations. He could occasionally be a goof, mostly when he got into something over his head. But so could Laura. Both could and often were capable of doing both smart stuff and silly. It was why they seemed so real, I think.

Friends avoided that a-hole trap, in that there was no "unlikeable" person in the group. No Louie DePalma, for instance. He would force himself into gatherings with his regular drivers, because the last thing they would do is invite him along. The six leads in Friends]/i] liked each other very much.
Originally the producers had it in mind for the character who evolved into Joey to be just such a jerk. Fortunately they came to their senses in time.

A goof, yes, but not an unlikeable, "Why would we invite Ross?" kind of jerk. True, he was Monica's brother and Chandler's college buddy, so they could hardly cut him out. But he was good-natured and had a certain courage. When Emily, his British fiancee, insisted that he have nothing to do with Rachel after the contretemps at the wedding in England, he vacillated for a little while, trying to keep everybody happy. But then he put his foot down and refused to cut Rachel out of his life.

From MoMa: After settling in Aix, France, in 1899, Cézanne ventured daily into the surrounding Provencal landscape in search of subjects to paint. Chateau Noir, a recently constructed neo-Gothic castle designed to mimic aged ruins, captivated him. He repeatedly represented this structure and also painted from its grounds, where he had an unobstructed view of nearby Mont Sainte-Victoire, another favored subject. As is typical of landscapes executed late in his career, Cezanne applied thick paint in broad, multihued swatches.
The orangish building anchors the center in terms of color, luminosity and scale. It strikes me as the eye of the hurricane while the muted trees and sky in the complimentary blue-green are in motion around it. I have photographed such scenes and this painting manages to capture the literal and the abstract/spiritual nature of the everything. I have come across imitations of this style and they all lack the complexity and density of Cezanne's colors, there is where I find the poetry of this work.
Would hang.

Yes. Also you actually see Joe (the owner of Sandpiper) trying to make a small business go. Pretty rare where careers are just assumed. Tim Daly (Joe) is also pretty good in a movie about that time called Year of the Comet (caper film involving a bottle of wine as the mcguffin).

It's amazing how even the silliest line in comedy can become memorable with great delivery and/or set-up.
The stupid "ski down the Alps into Paris" line by Lisa in "Green Acres" and it's use as an ongoing joke really made me laugh and still amuses me.
YMMV.

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face

Remember matchbooks? Remember the ones that dared you to draw something -- a pirate, say -- and submit it to an art school or some such to enroll and get your degree?
We need an updated version of such matchbooks. These would challenge the applicant to submit their "my oppression" whine and then enroll them in the appropriate university of "studies" degrees to get their certificate/diploma of being oppressively oppressed .
