Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

I wish Refn had made that Yakuza thing he was talking about at one point,

Like with Tarantino I'll watch anything he does.

 

[IdleRich]

It is a bit Liquid Sky though... or, have you seen Cafe Flesh?

 

[woops]

this is what Mulholland Drive leads up to isn't it? exclusion from the inner circle

 

[version]

You should definitely watch Sorcerer if you like Refn. It's clearly an influence. There's a long conversation between him and Friedkin on the Blu-ray.

patrick hamilton's hangover square leads up to one of the best evocations of this that i've come across. sorry to quote myself btw

I remember at the end SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY he freaks out and kills his hot friend with a golf club or something.

 

[IdleRich]

Should be a triple-header

25 minutes into the sorcerer

 

[version]

It's just called Sorcerer. You sure you're watching the right film?

 

[IdleRich]

Gotta be a good development if people start watching the recommended films... surely that was the point.

A bunch of us watching Under the Silver Lake made for good discussion.

 

[woops]

Boring discussion as if anything relevant would be hidden in a indie film

It certainly did. You should watch Neon Demon, I'd forgotten how fucked up and filled with occult stuff it was. I was high when I saw it before, that's why I liked it so much.
It's much less sprawling than UTSL so has less in it to discuss... but still.

 

[woops]

Is it better than the sorcerer

Dunno I aint seen that.
