Man I just watched this film one of the best horror films i've seen in a long time this makes the grudge(american remake) look like a comedy. Be warned this is subtitled so that might piss off some people but that's fine by me as long as it's a good horror movie and this movie is a great one indeed. Fantastic storyline, gory, great characters, great twists. This aint a horror movie like the grudge, the ring or the excorcist(all great horror movies by the way), after you watch it you get a creepy feeling inside you I don't really know how to describe this horror movie this has too be seen. If you're sick of crappy american remakes or their ever so boring teen slashers or whatever, you aint seen nothing till you watched this. Clever, creepy, not your ... Read More:

Battleship Potemkin [1925]starring: Aleksandr Antonov, Vladimir Barsky, Grigori Aleksandrov, Ivan Bobrov, Mikhail Gomorov directed by: Sergei M. Eisenstein June 03, 1996 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema |

Ir is a technical masterpiece. Eisenstein managed to do with the camera he had at the time things that no one else managed to even come close to. That's why this film must be watched and studied. The subject is romantic and it was done as pure propaganda, and the later Soviet period could not resist adding some good old narrow-minded commentary. But the film has some scenes that are so well done that we are wondering how it was possible. The baby perambulator going down the hundreds of steps in that staircase leading to the harbor is phenomenal. The way the actors are able to express thousands of emotions with no words, just body and face language is admirable. If you want to understand how humanity can see its future in a lighter color than the dark grey ... Read More:

The other reviews appear blind to the fact that this is one of Godard's first forays into political metaphor.
The film sets a playwright with an interest in art for art's sake against an American 'movie' maker who ends up stealing his wife. Effectively, the woman caught between them represents European society - I believe. She is shamed by the behaviour of her husband who she feels allowed the US movie-maker to have an opportunity to take advantage of her for personal gain. In the end she leaves him for the American who she otherwise dispises because of that shame and in spite of it. The movie which is set in Italy, I believe, is a metaphor for Godard's disgust at what some would call the 'revisionism' of mainstream communism. (To give ... Read More: >>More Details |

Faraway, So Close! [1994]starring: Otto Sander, Bruno Ganz, Nastassja Kinski, Martin Olbertz, Aline Krajewski directed by: Wim Wenders February 12, 1996 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema |
||

The success of 'Wings Of Desire' must have prompted Wenders to come up with a sequel. It certainly makes a greater effort at garnishing a wider audience, with the addition of Natassja Kinski, Willem Dafoe & Horst Buchholz to the previous cast. The script also has the novelty of being in 4 different languages. In 'Wings Of Desire' Bruno Ganz's transformation from angel to human could be seen as a desire by Berliners each side of the wall to overcome their imprisonment from each other. In 'Faraway, So Close', the moral confusion that Otto Sander witnesses when he crashes down from above, mirrors the uneasy turmoil of the new united Berlin. Like an East Berliner untutored in the ways of the West, he stumbles about in an unsophisticated way until his new ... Read More: >>More Details |

The typical neurotic or psychotic schizophrenia of the western world suddenly confronted to the other side of the conscious controlling and tyrannical psyche of the Christian mental delinquent. One day they meet with those who do not believe in reason but only in hypnosis and meditation. But do not think these manipulators are the criminals. They are just revealing that the subconscious or the unconscious can take over and become the central axle of our psyche, not because we would be losing our minds but because it IS the central axle of the human psyche. Twenty centuries of Christianity, on the western side, more generally thirty centuries of Semitic religion on the Jewish, Christian and Moslem sides have shifted our psyche from the natural central axle to re-center it onto ...

I liked this. For starters, it was well written and the characters seemed very real to me. Wuss that I am, I definitely felt a tear in my eye at one point (maybe two). It was acted well too. I'm becoming a big fan of Virginie Ledoyen's - who is excellent in her tempestuous role here - but the film mostly centres on Gabriel, and Mathieu Amalric was great in that role. The subtitles were easy to follow whilst still watching the film, although it occasionally jarred when the handful of French words I know and recognised were slightly different to the translation I was reading. This is an excellent 'slice of life' film, and one that has a definite, satisfying conclusion. I don't think I loved this film, but I liked it very, very much, and there were no real bad points to it. Not ... Read More:

The Bitter Tears Of Petra Von Kant [1972]starring: Margit Carstensen, Hanna Schygulla, Katrin Schaake, Eva Mattes, Gisela Fackeldey directed by: Rainer Werner Fassbinder April 28, 1997 Best Selling > VHS > World Cinema |

A perfectly controlled, deadpan mapping of a lesbian fashion designer's descent into hysteria and self-delusion. The central character is less victim than monster and an icy frisson is added by her keeping of a masochistic slave who cannot tolerate acts of kindness. Dialogue heavy and set in a single room, this is one of cinema's least apolagetic adaptations of a stage play, dividing itself into two neatly contrasting acts and rarely altering the camera angle. Particularly recommended to fans of Warhol's characteristic cocktail of boredom, madness and depravity.

This is quite simply one of the most exquisite films ever made, a marvel of aesthetic refinement in every way, and a unique work of art. There are not enough superlatives to describe the manifold wonders of Kwaidan: the fine acting, gorgeous sets, subtle direction, and especially the extraordinary musique concrete score by Takemitsu, all combined by the obsessive artistry of Kobayashi to realize a rare and beautiful cinematic vision. This film is beyond praise.

I enjoyed this film, even though the historical elements were not altogether authentic. It's both funny and political and Carmen Maura is excellent, as she is in La Ardilla Roja and El Flor de mi Secreto. It probably would not apply to everyone's taste and in my opinion is as quirky as most spanish films, but watch it anyway.
