[BECOMING-INTENSE]

The Fearless Vampire Killers(1967) dir. Roman Polanski

[Bring The Noise]

The martial art in the film, Gun Kata, is also what is used in Ultraviolet. Unfortunately Ultraviolet is the inferior film, but has the director's finalized and desired form of the art.

yea i think wimmer would make a way better choreographer than director, lol

and i honestly think sharon tate is one of the most beautiful women to have ever lived

A Casa

The Cube by Jim Henson is a television play about reality and the self.

Tried watching The Turin Horse.
Film description should read, "A beautifully shot reenacted anthropological study in a day of a 19th Century Hungarian peasant." It's so slow that you can go make yourself a cup of coffee and you won't miss anything. In a scene where the daughter boils the potatoes I was half expecting that Tarr will show the entire cooking process. I would not have been the least bit surprised.

The opening scene is indeed amazing though, as is the howling wind atmosphere (nicely juxtaposed with the deadness of the house).

Also watched Haneke's White Ribbon. That was good. It was nice to hear in his interview that he was partly inspired by August Sander, and (like Yamamoto) used his photos to make the costumes for the film.

Juventude em Marcha

You provide some seriously good, unconventional recommendations Acéphale! Ventura does arte povera so well. My favorite scene is when they are listening to that Cape Verdean independence song while the record is skipping.
