'Quiet Days in Clichy': The Film

has anyone ever watched it? I discovered and "purloined" a paperback version of the book pub. in 1965; "An Evergreen Black Cat Book" with:
"Over 75 illustrations (photos) from the film".
These stills are wonderfull and truly bring the book to life. . . but back to that film?

    i had a hard time getting through it....it's available on netflix.

    i prefer Rip Torn in TROPIC OF CANCER...b/c i'm a huge Rip Torn fan and he did a good job playing Miller.....for some odd reason it's not release on DVD. :(

      Ya gotta love Fred Ward playing Miller in HENRY & JUNE... I had a difficult time thinking of him as Miller, especially since Ward will always be REMO WILLIAMS to me.

      I picked up a copy of ...CLICHY and understand why it was banned. For certain elements, it's a very good film. On so many other levels, though, I was bored by the ethic of 'shock for the mere sake of shock'.

    ohh I thought the film was hilarious!
    Of course I got to live through the times the film was made & it brings back the craziness & naivete of the world we thought could exist & did for awhile.
    I'm assuming the gentler side of the sexual revolution of the film then as I also saw the violent side that existed.
