I’m from Argentina so there’s a couple of movie on the list that aren’t from 2008 (like “Shara” or “The Brown Bunny”), but they show in my country the last year. That’s why is such a weird list.
Hello!
Well, I really enjoyed “Mister Lonely”. I was very exciting about watching the film because I’m such a Korine’s follower.
The thing is that the movie begins to fail when the last half hour begin, where, I think, all become a little repetitve. The first hour is amazing, so haunting with all those nouns flying in the sky and that kind of thing which definetly gives some dreamlike atmosphere, as you said in your review. But then everything turns in like another movie, with a very slow narration and it seems like everything that Korine wants to show and film with “Mister Lonely” alredy has been done in the first part. From there the movie start to deceptionate.
But, despite what you said I don’t think that “Mister Lonely” is like another Korine movie. I think that this one is the more “accesible” film that he ever made and also the most ambitious. And I think that he made movie with some good moments but with a history that definetly could have give much more
I’ve been watching a lot of these so-called “mumblecore” films and I think that only Andrew Bujalski’s films are very enjoyable to watch- A few days ago I saw “Baghead” from Mark & Jay Duplass (his first movie “The Puffy Chair” is very good too) and It’s was great, a very funny movie with very good characters. But, I don’t know. When you watch this flims you don’t see much of Casavettes or Rohmer’s style (two directors that all the Mumblecore team usually named as “his very deepest influence”) except on maybe “Mutual Appreciation”, which is a very good movie in my opinion.
The rest is maybe just a pose more than a movement.
For me it’s just another superhero movie.
I found it boring and extense. It has some good moments (every scene with Ledger on it, of course), but that’s all.
Stanley Kubrick – A Clockwork Orange
PT Anderson – There Will Be Blood
Wes Anderson – Rushmore
Harmony Korine – Gummo
FW Murnau – The Last Laugh
Lucrecia Martel – The Headless Woman
Michael Haneke – Benny’s Video
Gus Van Sant – Paranoid Park
Claire Denis – Beau Travail
Lisandro Alonso – Los Muertos
I don’t know if i got a favourite one, but i really enjoy “Tony Manero”. And I heard some pretty good things about “La Nana” and Andres Wood’s films, so, I guess I have to watch them.
Beau Travail (Claire Denis)
Cleo From 5 to 7 (Agnes Vardá)
The Headless Woman (Lucrecia Martel)
2 Days In Paris (Julie Delpy)
Treeless Mountain (So Young Kim)
Lost In Traslation (Sofia Coppola)
Morvern Callar (Lynne Ramsay)
Me and You and Everyone We Know (Miranda July)
Wendy And Lucy (Kelly Reichardt)
Shara (Naomi Kawase)
I totally forget one of my favourite movies from last years and also one of the most awesome movies ever made in Argentina, “Historias Extraordinarias” by Mariano Llinás.
Everyone should check out this movie.
Oh, yeah. I haven’t see that one yet, but i will do. It’s weird that nobody put “Los Rubios” on this list.
Yeah, “Historias Extraodinarias” is 4 hour long, but, trust me, you can’t even feel it.
Wow,
I found this today and i’m totally in.
Like the idea. It’s a pitty that I realize of this thread just today, because it would have been super fun select the movies from some of the countries in competition.
Anyway, if someone needs help with the selection, please let me know (I definetly can give a hand with the Argentina’s selection)
Bowie is also for like 5 minutes in David Lynch’s “Fire Walk With Me”. But it’s great.
And almost forgot Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers in “The Big Lebowski”. He’s one of the Nihilist there. Fun.

Films that made you physically ill after watching about 3 years ago
Yeah,
definitive some Haneke.
Maybe “Benny’s Video” or “Cache”
“The Seventh Continent” is also too way disturbing.
WhenI watch one of his films, always wait like two or more months after watching another one.
My mind needs to break.
