Jacques Brel - La Valse à Mille Temps

grubert says...

There are a few puns in this song that the non-French speaker might miss and, while reading the subtitles, wonder what Brel was smoking when he wrote the lyrics.

- The chorus starts with "Une a valse à trois temps": a 3/4 time waltz
- Then we move on to "Une valse à quatre temps": 4/4 time waltz, still no pun, but wait!
- Next step is "Une valse à vingt temps": 20 times waltz but also sounds like a 20 year old waltz or a waltz danced by 20 year olds (the age of the protagonists).
- Then comes "Une valse à cent temps": 100 times waltz (also a 100 year old waltz) which Brel transforms to a very close "Une valse ça s'entend", a waltz that is heard (at every Paris cross road etc.)
- And finally "Une valse à mille temps": 1000 times waltz which sounds exactly like "une valse a mis le temps", a waltz took its time (to wait for 20 years etc.)

Stunning Animation: Sad Cat in the Ruins of its Old Home

Allegro non troppo (1h 20min)

pyrex says...

"Allegro non troppo is a Bruno Bozzetto animated film released in 1977. The film is a parody of Disney's Fantasia, though possibly more of a challenge to Fantasia than parody status would imply. In music, an instruction of "allegro ma non troppo" means to play "fast, but not overly so". In the context of this film, and without the "ma", it means Not So Fast!, an interjection meaning "slow down" or "think before you act" and refers to the film's pessimistic view of Western progress (as opposed to the optimism of Disney's original).

The film features six classical pieces:

Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune by Claude Debussy
Slavonic Dance No. 7 by Antonín Dvořák
Boléro by Maurice Ravel
Valse Triste by Jean Sibelius
Concerto in C Major by Antonio Vivaldi
The Firebird by Igor Stravinsky

The classical pieces are set to color animation, ranging from comedy to deep tragedy. At the beginning, in between the animation, and at the end is black and white live action film, displaying the (well, not the actual) animator, orchestra, conductor, and filmmaker, with many humorous scenes about the (again, not actual) production of the film."

Finally, additional props to sometimes for posting the sad cat segment of this intriguing movie.
