mysteries of lisbon - rual ruiz
beautiful, complexly plotted, 4.5 hr long but you can just fully sit back and let it flow over you...

The Rio in Dalston had a showing last Sunday...just a one off I'm afraid! I think we these long films you kind of need to see them in a cinema so you don't get distracted and wander off..
Did the BFI not have it at all?

Darned cockwombles.
Keen to watch this because i'm curious as to both the locations and the way in which violence is treated on-screen in a country with the DRC's recent history, but didn't rate City of God that highly i must say...

Bollocks! I live in Dalston right near the fucking Rio! I probably walked right past it. What was I doing last Sunday, can't even remember? Oh yeah, I watched Never Let Me Go - it was pretty good.
Don't think it's on elsewhere, it was on at the Curzon for a few days but only at stupid times*. So it was good yeah? Is it kinda magic-realism or what?
*ie times when I couldn't go

not full on magic realism but little splashes of things seeming deliberately off kilter, odd, dreamlike, hazy. Some of the acting was very stagey and not striving for realism. lots of lush details and textures. dominated by two characters who form an almost god/devil binary and seem to crop up with numerous disguises/personas/characters almost like folk characters or timeless archetypes.
some interesting shots where somehow the foreground and background were both in focus (guess digital technique) so you had someone's profiles up close, still, unspeaking and then the scene played out in the background.
lots of of long floating shots that reminded me of Russian Ark somewhat. Also reminiscent of Barry Lyndon.
basically really good! it's the kind of thing the bfi might show in a while perhaps, i really want to see more of his films now...

i dont go to the cinema a lot. been three times in the last 5 years. i watch tinker tailor solider spy yesterday thought and i ejoyed that. i didnt know what the fuck was going on but i did enjoy it. i liked how the old blokes were the stars and the young blokes seem dopey and feckless. i didnt really rate jamie oliver as ricky tarr tho, that was a bit werid. and lister from red dwarf, i cant get used to seeing him in normal acting roles.
i like still performances. have you seen that mystery of love film? that has a good still performance from a sad middle aged man in it too.

haha. i went when i was ill and falling asleep so didnt know either. though from what i did see, it was nicely moody/atmospheric but all the profundity i was meant to see went over my head.
this is really beautiful, it reminded me of 'russian ark' too. i watched the first hour and then started falling asleep, though i don't think that's a bad thing at all. i'll watch more tonight.

Four shorts about love. I don't know why but for me it's only Asian movies like these who do the trick. I could never imagine an European or American movie dealing with the same theme and making it as realistic as this. It's all cute and quirky. It's recognisable, it's honest and well acted. It's looking good as well, nice colours and all. The four shorts seem to be independent but turn out to form an ingenious coherent story. Nicely done. Recommended.

I went to see TTSS with a mate who had never seen the BBC adaptation (which I have) and I don't think he had a clue what was going on. I think it worked a lot better for me since I was more or less familiar with the story-line and so I could appreciate the atmosphere of it all.
I saw Chronicle at the cinema last night. It wasn't one I'd unreservedly recommend but if you're into special effects there's some impressive stuff going on there. Found footage films always do my head in because I keep thinking ''WHY would they film that?''

saw wild at heart at the bfi today. it was really good, better in fact, than i remember it. maybe nicolas cage's best film? saw ken russells the rainbow too, and though i thought some of it was like a tick box approach to cover every base, i loved it. made me think a bit of katie tippel.
