There's a nasty one with the Kemp brothers from the 90s too. Remember seeing that as a kid and being disturbed by Ronnie (Gary) putting a sword through someone's hand on a pool table.

The rest isn't as compelling as that opening scene, gets pretty silly towards the end and it's just not that great a film.
Yeah I remember that one too. Not one I want to rewatch.
This is one of the worst films I've ever seen. My passionate hatred of Godard and possibly all French cinema largely stems from this film.
I rented it on video from Cardiff library back in 1999 and I literally couldn't believe my eyes.

"the picadilly circus".... just reading that takes me back
I think first godard best godard. I'd happily watch breathless again and a few of the others are ok, but it's mainly the odd bit in them that works and the rest is interminably boring.
Its one of the cult films listed in Danny pearys excellent book

North west part of central London. On the circle line and district too I believe.

There's a very early Hitchcock with Novello called The Lodger, is that what you're thinking of? Maybe they did others together but I don't remember one called Blackmail.

Deep End is Skolimowski who made The Shout. I always assumed that he died decades ago but he suddenly popped a couple of years back and started making films again. Dunno what the new ones are like but enjoyed hid old stuff.
They use Mother Sky by Can on the soundtrack to Deep End - my friend said "that was the best bit, but then again if they used that tune in Citizen Kane then that bit would be the best scene".

notting hill is vibes. i only went at night tho
Yes you are right, I got name wrong
Yes, the lodger is. Looked it up now.
He does have another, called Blackmail, set in London, but no Ivor Novello.

I erroneously conflated the two but they are both good. I want to rewatch the lodger cos it's set against the backdrop of London smogs.
