Sorry for the oversight.

Anonymous 2: I would agree–'Eccentricities' is one of his best that I've seen. In fact, basically everything from this last decade that I've been able to track down has been superlative, with only a couple exceptions. "A Talking Picture" is probably my favorite from this period though.

It's that Eccentricities and Angelica might actually be two of his best ever. How many great filmmakers even made anything above-average (compared to their "prime") after age 70? Short list, probably.

That is a big part of why he is in all of his grandfather movies. He is not that great of an actor.
