Found: "White dog." Trained to viciously attack any Black person it sees. A masterful, melodramatic metaphor for what Einstein used to call America's "worst disease."
Jean-Luc, I am forever your pupil
heartbreaking
It's sad that foreign films like this never get Best Picture nominations at the Oscars when this is clearly better than any of the movies nominated this year, with the exception of maybe the Tree of Life
The mood and atmosphere were just perfect for fabricating that feeling of magic where anything is possible that is necessary for a traditional fairy tale as old and classic as this one
a well done 85 min long sex scene
The Black Power movement as seen by Swedish reporters who had come to the country with the desire "to understand and portray America - through sound and image- as it really is." Angela Davis, Erykah Badu, Talib Kweli, and ?uestlove, among others, provide voiceovers to this very valuable footage from an outside perpective. Highly recommended.
far out.
In the end, I feel just as disappointed as George Clooney's character
Pretty much everything that I feel film should be
This documentary felt really forced in the sense that all the key moments that should have been filmed to make this an interesting documentary were missed and instead what we get is people only talking about them and how they felt afterwards. Regardless, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is still the Great American Novel of the last decade in music form.
A tale about guilt, grief, and grudges, but filmed with grace. Not my mother's typical Hallmark channel Christmas movie. Outstanding performances by both Mathieu Amalric and my belle de toujours Catherine Denueve.
a completely average romantic comedy disguised as an Apatow-style bromance film
Fantastically adapted from the Roald Dahl book, I was surprised to see that Anderson's particular style actually translates beautifully into animation, soaring into unexpected and wild places. In the past, I feel like I may have been overly critical of Wes Anderson often calling his films "underwhelming" but this film goes beyond satisfactory, resulting in Pixar-level greatness or even better.
The kind of film Scorsese would have made in the 70's had he been Chilean. A dark and disturbing character study about a man obsessed with John Travolta's character in Saturday Night Fever set in a dark and disturbing era for Chile. Plus, it has a disco soundtrack.
Like a surrealist novel written completely in body language...
There's nothing more satisfying than to watch a director's style take a film to places beyond where no other director could take it to and this is one of those films.
The film that Lang himself considered his finest work. Although Metropolis might be his most iconic, this is his best.
For better or for worse, my entire sense of humor is based off of this movie
I like to think of it as the Human Centipede of art film, especially when it comes to how wildly divisive this is, but I actually really liked it
there IS such a thing as too much drugs...
Approach with caution.
After I saw Buster Keaton dive from the top of that ship, it is obvious that he had superpowers
A beautiful film that is as much about the beauty of Strasbourg and its people as it is about Sylvia. Like all good urban-set films, the city and its inhabitants are inseparable.
Pioneered what would be perfected many years later as Kung Pow: Enter the Fist! I can dig it.
Came so close to loving it but in the end, I was slightly underwhelmed. However, I loved the romance plot with Inez.
Bollywood will make even Jesus dance!
Just how do you decide what images to use when you want to encompass all of existence? Ambition is both this film's strength and weakness but as much as it costs it, it pays back in double.
I could go on about how ahead of its time this film was, or how without it, there would be no Jackie Chan or Duck Amuck, but I was too busy enjoying myself, honestly. I couldn't help imagining myself as a kid in the silent film era paying a nickel to see it and falling in love with it so much that I stayed in the theater to watch again and again.
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
