I got a hold of Bertolucci's Partner and I loved it. Not for the easily confused. But I won't say anything else cause it's much more fun if you don't know what's up prior to watching it. I definitely recommend it though.
Also, I was told to check out Seconda Volta with Nanni Moretti but it was soooo long and slow that I didn't enjoy it at all. It's got a clear message, but other than that, I didn't like it.

Since I recently read Luis Bunuel's book "My last sigh" I decided to check him out some more, after not liking That obscure object of desire and being partial to Belle du Jour, so I rented Un chien Andalou and L'age d'or which he did in conjunction with Salvador Dali. Holy #$%&, what was going on in these two heads, I would really love to know. So creepy and bizarre. I don't think any contemporary filmmaker is able to surpass this peculiarity. It made me love the trio even more (+Man Ray, who was my inspiration for many photographs as well).

I know there was more, but I have to run now.. so, that's it for today

STALKER - [RUS] directed by Andrei Tarkovsky!

WOW!!!! I am blown away! Speechless!

A philosophical work of art!

YOU MUST SEE THIS!!

I hate Tarkovsky! Well, hate may be too strong of a word.. but I definitely do not enjoy his works. I haven't watched Stalker but judging by my previous experiences with him, no thanx

It's based on Dostoyevski's "Double".. obyazatelno posmotri, ochen prikol'no!

I actually don't have much to report.. My La Mala Educacion has arrived!!! sooo happy But it's held for me since I haven't had the chance to see it yet. Also, I want to go see Dogville and Monsieur Ibrahim.. but didn't feel like sitting in the theatre. Also, I think tomorrow (what day is it today?) Io non ho paura is opening, I'll add that too.. Bon Voyage as well.. so many I wanna see Jeux d'enfants, Valentin..
Kill Bill 2 of course! I'll have to turn to my usual tricks to get by without paying for all these movies (that requires time though) but it works great
Ahhh yes, I need to find Finestra di Fronte unlikely any time soon cause it recently came out..

I watched some good and bad movies recently, but right now I have to run.. so I'm just checking in

Un Chien Andalou was genius for being made in 1920s. So many Freudian references in a short film, I love it.

Also check out Land without Bread, his documentary on the underdeveloped region of Las Hurdes in the early 1930s, it was used as Republican propaganda during the Civil War.

And then the movies he made about the sexual corruption of religion and social class are brilliant too. Viridiana is the novice nun that gets liberated, and Tristana with her sugar daddy. Of course we also have to mention the gem of The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie.

I Luis Buñuel

yes yes, he talks about all those films in his book.. he was really something. Check out his book, it's very interesting (My last sigh). BTW, I did catch Land without Bread, it was recorded on the same tape as Un chien andalou. Nice

So far.. I've caught Dogville and found it lacking substance.. the set up of the movie everyone so enthusiastically talks about is a simple theatrical scene on camera. The plot is not very catchy either. I liked the ending though. I couldn't believe I sat through 3h of that.
Also, I watched Io non ho paura, it's very cute, innocent.. It's got also a twisted ending. I liked it a lot. However, keep in mind that I'm very partial to italian cinema.. Federico Fellini and ragazzi

I still haven't had the chance to go check out Kill Bill 2 but I really can't wait. Maybe today, it's Tuesday
