Re: Mulholland Drive - 2001 - USA I didn't like this movie the first time I saw it and went online and trashed David Lynch for wasting my time. Strange thing is, I couldn't stop thinking about it. About a year later I rented it again and it hit completely different, I was fascinated by it...

Re: Andrei Rublev - 1966 - Soviet Union The forging of the bell sequence is one of my favorite scenes in all of film. An incredible movie!

Re: Dick Tracy - 1990 - USA This movie had so much potential, its a shame the execs demanded it be a Happy Meal/action figure commercial. With Beatty in the director's chair and Storarro behind the camera...well at least they nailed the visuals.

8/10 is pretty high praise from you Zaharoff. I may have to look into this.

I'm an admirer of Tarkovsky's work. If I'm in the right mood, Stalker or Mirror will floor me, and I'll walk away saying "that's my favorite film". But I can't force it. I've done that with Tarvkovsky before, like when a blu ray copy arrives in the mail and I feel a compulsion, and it wasn't...

Thank you bendk for reminding me that I wanted to watch The Wind!

Re: Amour A beautiful and devastating film. I was shocked when I realized the husband was played by Trintignant from The Conformist, one of my all time favorite films. It added another layer of melancholy for me, seeing such a formerly handsome man withered by time.

The Lighthouse, 2019 Perhaps I'm a victim of my own high expectations but I was a tad disappointed with The Witch director Robert Eggers' new film. Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson are incredible (especially Dafoe) as lighthouse keepers slowly going insane together after tasked with spending...

Re: In Fabric How did you see this film Zaharoff? I can't find it anywhere.

Re: Berberian Sound Studio I tried to finish this one, it was recommended by someone I trust, but it felt more like a good short film idea stretched too thin. Just didn't hold my interest past the 25-30 minute mark.

Re: Free Solo That guy's balls are cold steel and clank when he walks.

Be careful, I was accused of being racist because I didn't like Get Out. Ha ha ha.

Suspiria - 2018 This is a difficult film to review. I'll start by saying I went in with an open mind-- I wasn't one of the original's superfans that opposed a remake, as we were told it was more of a "re-imagining". And I wasn't opposed to the muted, sickly, atonal approach either. I thought...

Re: Ramen Heads Sounds interesting, my wife and I enjoyed "Tampopo", maybe we'll watch this when we have a chance.

Re: The Limey Agreed.

Re: November I've got to see this.

Re: Nothing Personal I may give this film a go, I'm fond of Rea as an actor. Thank you.

Re: Nothing Personal Is Stephen Rea as good in this as he is in everything else? What a wonderful actor.

Zaharoff -- Have you considered your very own blog? Where you reviews films, very similar to the way you do here? You see a lot of them, and I like the witty and leisurely way you review without seeming like some pretentious, failed literary critic. You also acknowledge films that most folks...

Re: Army Of Shadows Masterpiece, highly recommend this to any film enthusiast!
