i really enjoyed matewan. good early role from bonnie prince billie, there's a sscene where he does some testifying/preaching in the church, he tells the story of joseph's attempted seduction by potifers wife, and relates it to what's going on, it's really good. he looks fucking mental.
i think i fell asleep in anothe rof his films though, probably 'seven'... he's kinda slow and pondering so you need your wits about you, which i clearly didn't.
but yeah matewan is brilliant, would highly recommend. i would watch it again but wouldn't stand a chance atm.
