I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS ADVENTURE!
I rated it two stars because it's terrible. But it's fucking hilarious.
Chilling. Reminded me of Philippe Grandrieux, but clearer.
This was a real trial to get through.
Anyone else seeing the reference to Katzelmacher?
I loved this! How was this film not in my life before?
I laughed up vital organs.
Why is A Hail of Bullets not on here?! It was like Dogtooth meets Eraserhead and Touki Bouki in an underground club!
I would happily watch a 5-hour cut of this, were it to exist.
I swear this guy can do no wrong. Can't believe I missed the entire Vlácil retrospective at the BFI.
It's like if that bit from Inception that sucked didn't actually suck.
I'm not exactly sure what this film was meant to do. I'm sure the book might be interesting, but as a documentary this was kinda weak. Any film which spends half an hour poking fun at the superficial differences between 'black' and 'white' names probably should've undergone a tighter edit.
Interesting collection. I actually thought Fei Mu's and He Mengfu's were the most interesting.
A pretty lazy exercise in exoticism. Might be more worth the investment to read a book.
This reminded me of Frederick Wiseman in the way that it was cut and shot. This made for really chilling viewing.
This was an intensely disturbing film. It's the 'headlines' that emerge from her mouth at the end that are most unsettling.
What a floppy ending.
I loved the last scene of this, I just wish it was justified by the preceding 70-odd minutes.
I'm not sure what purpose this film is meant to serve. Mind you, I did watch it so who am I to talk.
So very clumsily put together. When the most accomplished and memorable segment is the one that's 90 seconds long, you know you've done wrong. I wonder how Noé would explain his film.
I just tried to find a clip of this to show a friend and Youtube had it flagged up as "inappropriate for minors". I *hate* censorship sometimes.
Definitely an interesting approach, but did it really have to rush so much to compress everything to feature-length? I understand that the film wasn't meant to linger on misery, but I'm sure Gainsbourg cared more about his parents than to have all of five seconds dedicated to their passing. Nonetheless, the film has got me trying to complete my Gainsbourg music collection.
This was wonderfully handled. Peng Phan deserves an award.
I liked the editing pace in this, very true to life.
If Chris Cunningham, Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry were to make some crazy-ass Chinese fantasy film.. it would be Green Snake. Naturally, Godfrey Ho would be on hand to offer advice that nobody listens to.
This film sort of picks up where Ozu's films left off in narrating the sociopolitical history of Japan through the eyes of a family.
Agreed, the CGI was an unnecessary touch. Also, I loved Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB.
This scares the crap out of me.
This should get an international release, if only to see a bunch of aspiring punk kids wearing knitwear. And 15-year-old Björk.
I absolutely love this film. It's the perfect film to drift into sleep to.
Heheh, Bad Luck Blackie and King-Size Canary look like they're about to do some serious wolf-bashing.
