One of the most underated french movies, with Gerard showcasing a great performance, shame its not available on DVD( W English subs)

Great review here http://filmsdefrance.com/FDF_Tenue_de_soiree_rev.html

Herzog is my favourite German director.
Aguirre - Wrath of God
The Enigma of Kasper Hauser
Fitzcarraldo
All GREAT films
However I'm thinking right now that Heart of Glass might be in my top five non-English language films.Love it.:D

BB: Enough guice down the hatch and who knows what could happen? :D

Don't threaten me with your loveAlthough you do like plugging!Whats your preferred lubricant baby?

 

[Shambles]

I keep it simple, BB - saliva is cheap and effective enough for me

Don't think I've seen Heart of Glass yet - actually I think I have but don't rememeber it too well - but Aguirre and Fitzcorraldo are classics. And Nosferatu. And Stroszek. Most of the ones I've seen actually. His documentaries are amazing too

My other favourite German director

 

[brokenbrain]

Well Heart of Glass is a difficult film.The first time I watched it,it did my head right in.But I watched it again about 11 years later,drinking and smoking and thought it was great.
The main thing you have to know is that apart from 1 character everyone else was hypnotised at the time.Once you know that,the fact that everyone is behaving very strangely makes sense.
Stroszeck is great.Not sure about Woyzeck.Keep meaning to watch Grizzly Man.

I'd recommend Lessons In Darkness and Gesualdo: Death For Five Voices as far as Herzog docu's go, off the top of my head. If you've not see them, then do so. If you have, see them again cos they really are that good

The former is just stunningly poignant and beautiful and the latter completely insane and fascinating. Sums up Herzog really

PS: Meaning to get around to Grizzly Man too. And that recent Vietnam film he made - looks great and got Christian Bale in it which is often a good sign

 

[parttime crackhead]

well there are many films that are an endurance test.They aren't set up to be enjoyable.

if i was going to watch a film & i heard it was an endurance test & not set up to enjoyable id shout fuck it n watch hollyoaks instead

 

[Shambles]

Hollyoaks is an endurance test that not enjoyable though, PC. At least with obscure arthouse films there's often enough sex and violence to keep things ticking over :D

 

[UnfortunateSquid]

Plenty of fitties and violence in hollyoaks.

Jailbait aplenty!

 

[Shambles]

Aren't they Scouse though? It's a dealbreaker for me - would have to watch with the sound down. Give me some smack-addled, nekkid, annorexic Swedish girl musing incoherently upon the pointlessness of existance and then going on a killing spree anytime :D

 

[UnfortunateSquid]

Sounds excellent! Shame my interpipes are too shit for the downloading of such.

 

[Shambles]

Late nights on C4 and BBC2 is often prime hunting grounds for such fare, Squiddy. Shame they don't have the red triangle thing anymore - was a guarantee of quality

 

[TheSpade]

Red triangle thing?

 

[Shambles]

C4 used to put a red triangle in the corner of the screen if a film had "adult" material of some kind in it, Spadey. Usually meant it was a subtitled European film with loadsa sex and violence

 

[TheSpade]

My kind of film.

Saw this today...

This documentary/drama/animation hybrid stars Pete Postlethwaite as an archivist in the devastated world of the future, asking the question: "Why didn't we stop climate change when we still had the chance?" He looks back on footage of real people around the world in the years leading up to 2015 before runaway climate change took place.

It's a docu-film and it poses some really good questions. Very well done and entertaining too. It's definitely made me think a bit more about how I look at climate change and what I can do to make a small difference.

My local cinema were offering a free £5 gift voucher for filling out a short survey before and after the film too.

"What Doesn't Kill You"

Mark Ruffalo is awesome in this.

Cant from this comp , I keep getting the dreaded " forbidden" crap. I am able to post stuff from my other comp but not this one.I have taken this up with support but I guess the problem lies with the PC.

Its a quality movie though, a clicky on the IMDB link contains all the relevant info, ie plot , trailer etc etc.

Surprised its already comeing out on DVD in USA, and I didnt hear of any theatrical release for it in the UK though.

 

[TheSpade]

I get the forbidden thing too when I try and use the buttons and have since the upgrade so instead I just type the image tags etc myself.

 

[TheSpade]

Danila idolises his older brother, deciding that he wants to follow in his footsteps after being discharged from the Russian army. The problem is his brother is a contract killer for the mob! This doesn't bother Danila, his brother can do nothing wrong in his eyes. Cue some brutal violence, comparable to a Russian version of PULP FICTION. At turns both funny and disturbing, this romp through modern Russian mob-culture is always extremely stylish and compelling.

Really good Russian gangster film, raw and gritty! If you liked Pusher you'll like this.

I'm gonna watch Last Days (Gus Van Sant) tonight, which is meant to be loosely based on the final days of Kurt Cobains life. I've enjoyed most of his fims so far so I've been looking forward to this.

I went to see that at the cinema when it came out with my gf. She was bored to death throughout the entire film. However, I enjoyed it .

Kim Gordon makes an appearance doesn't she? She's great
