Did a thought that Gus van Sant is a pedophile ever cross your mind?</P>


[/quote]</P>


you know...this never crossed my mind, but i remember watching his entry for the Cannes short film collection, then i watched my own private idaho, and remembering my viewing of Elephant, i find GVS to be unusually interested in the process of erotic self discovery among teenage males...then i saw a pic of him hanging out at a Hedi Slimane fashion show a while back and it all clicked. Wouldn't be surprised...in some way i think he is even more exploitative of the genre than Larry Clark.</P>

Not really, he might have some ephebophile tendencies but they are apparently sublimed, manifesting in a curious and open-minded interest in the tribulations of teenagers. Clark on the other hand probably owns an ice cream van...</P>

You can, I'll check the languages on the DVD, I think there's only french...it was remade as "wicker park" in the US but they totally modified the story to attain the mystical happy ending.</P>


Haven't watch Mongol yet, I'll let you know. I'm listing movies to make you 1-2 DVDs, as discussed so I'll just ad it if it is good. I know Russian producerswere involved in the movie so I'm sure you can find a copy on some Russian bittorrent sites.</P>
