the list is metaphorically endless
Dunno if I mentioned it here at the time... did anyone ever watch 'Son of Saul'?
Im thinking about watching it again.
aye via various salubrious internet sources they still should be, i dont know specific site rules in this regard but https://unblocked.vc/ keep the proxies rolling
i'd never have discovered The Ascent without pirating FreakyFlicks forum for rare gems (he says justifying the practice), a few others i've bought to keep ie everything by Jodorowsky but didnt itemize to spare a yuge unwieldy list developing
could've added everything by Tarkovsky & Kurosawa, Juliet of the Spirits (the last 15mins are my favourite sequences in film), Parajanov's Shadow of Forgotten Ancestors, Antonioni's Red Desert, anything by Nic Roeg, peak-era Kusturica (Time of the Gypsies & Underground are all time favourites), The Devils by Ken Russell, The American Friend by Wenders, Death in Venice, The Innocents, Night of the Hunter, The Shout (with Alan Bates), Ichi the Killer (wtf), Dog Days (Hundstage) & Import/Export both by Ulrich Seidl, Vanishing Point, Possession (!!!), Wise Blood & Under the Volcano for lesser acknowledged John Huston filems, Martha Marcy May Marlene, everything by Lynch, lots missing & theres still half of a few hard drive's worth of obscurities i've been meaning to watch for the best part of a decade, its hard to shut up when the fountain-head gushes forth
this was outstanding, redefines a harrowing watch, the narrow apsect-ratio thingy worked really well (Meeks Cutoff did a similar style even if the theme was altogether different) & the way certain camp aspects were suggested or implied instead of going full monstrosity-fest, one of my favourites from 2016 alongside Embrace of the Serpent <---mind-blown
Cells interlinked within cells interlinked
Within one stem. And dreadfully distinct
Against the dark, a tall white fountain played.
"It's accurate. I have not changed her style.
There's one misprint--not that it matters much:
Mountain, not fountain. The majestic touch."
Been reading people's reactions to BR2049 today and I'm starting to think (or realise) that I'm probably just too thick to have understood the story and it's actually better than I thought it was.
In my defence, I did find myself thinking about it after I'd watched it and I felt compelled to find out what others had thought, so I'm not all bad. Maybe even could be human one day?
