Two Congratulation Telegrams

Let’s pretend to be serious (or French) in order to quote an important intellectual historian Marc Bloch who wrote in a preface – I hope I remember this more or less correctly – that whatever can be said in favour of or against history, all will agree that it is entertaining.
Yes, dear Lobster Films, you too, you have never bored us. You combine flam- boyance and finesse, connoisseur col- lecting and courageous commercialism, research and showmanship. And in cel- ebrating your 30th birthday you are one year ahead of us.
Happy Birthday, Lobsters! Félicitations! Viel Glück! Auguroni!

Dear Lobsters,
Thank you for preserving me and for de-claring me one of the Ten Best Films of All Times in the “Sight & Sound” poll.
