Tomorrow is Brigitte Lahaie 52nd birthday. While researching for this post I stumbled upon the following clip which is a perfect example of the non-eventfulness I appreciate in some films. The first time the concept of non-eventfulness took shape was when I saw the extended scene in La Maman et la putain where one of the female protagonists puts a record on and listens to it in real-time (I believe this actually happens twice in that same film).

Unidentified clip of early Lahaie (when she was still a brunette)
Please notice how the food Lahaie is about to eat, gazes back at her in the clumsy editing.
The most powerful image of Lahaie I know of is the one where she is photographed standing topless sort of straddling a Great Dane dog. Here.
And here is her Google gallery.
Happy birthday Brigitte.
Lahaie had a small role in Calvaire too.
Where did you find all information regarding birth dates? Do you keep a countercultural birthday calender (an oxymoronic thing)?
I heard good things about Calvaire, but still have to see it.
The calendar: yes I do, it’s one of the main things of artandpopularculture.com (and very work-intensive to make). I keep it here and it’s about 40% completed. The calendar is accessible daily from the “art and pop” homepage under “currently”.
Yours
Jan
Oh! I didn’t know she was a brunette. She looks like a young Norma Jean. It’s a pity she isn’t a better actress, she has a very beautiful and memorable face (and body too, but that is actually much more common).
that google gallery is a eyeful….
