Kinopoem (13)

Signorina Monica Vitti
In wild nature or clamorous city
And in any frame composition
Looks both vulnerable and patrician.
When among all the beauties of Italy
She is trotting along non-committally,
I would not be considered a flatterer
If I called her the film's raison d'être.

Kinopoem (14)

People say of Alain Robbe-Grillet
That he once sent his wife a billet
That just wasn't especially doux
And aroused much fervent ado
In the French intellectual élite
As philosophers ponder and bleat
To this day that it's highly improper
First to marry a femme, then to rope 'er.
