Very sensitive film. Beautifully idiosyncratic visual style. Amazing sound design. Great acting, mature story, very very original movie. A pleasure to watch.
One of my favorite films. Simply amazing. Fenomenology at it's peak. It's so sentimental and at the same time so deep intellectually. The images are astounding and precious. He even gets original music from James Horner! (which he later recycled for Avatar...) A very humane and mature film. Love it.
Not my favourite Jarmusch film, but amazing still. Even though I felt it was kind of cold, I completely share it's philosophy, which is very purely expressed. I think I got it mostly on an intellectual level. But I didn't feel the tranquility it tries to express, symbolized, for example, in the Tai Chi. Maybe I'll have to watch again. Beautiful nonetheless, and I hope you stayed up till the end: No limits no control
Where is Besieged?
Fun, but a blatant copy of Jodorowsky's "El Incal" comic book. Of course, can't get as deep or surreal as the comic book so it's mostly a waste. Not worth it.
Postmodern musical. That's all you need to know.
I understand why some people would find this slow or without plot. It doesn't have a conventional plot. Jarmusch is one of the director's I most admire, so simple yet emotional, beautiful and truthful. It's a great simple movie. The ending is amazing in it's openness and intelligent. Postmodern too. And the use of the music is to be studied.
Beautiful delicate film. Simple and moving. A lesson on making movies with little money and great meaning.
Utter rubbish. Turned the whole meaning of the comic inside out. From unconditionally subversive art into establishment's status quo product. Keep away at all costs. Read the comic book.
Maybe my least favourite Miyazaki movie. Problem is, I read the manga first and went bonkers (one of the best pieces of graphic art i've read) then saw the film and was very disappointed with the changes in the story. Still it's Miyazaki, it's worth watching.
Starts of amazing. Great cinematography and intriguing story. Cool characters. Then it takes a plunge only equaled by Danny Boyle's sunshine. Deserves that somebody grabs it and make it again, this time without all that fatal attraction crap.
Crazy. Pure Werner Herzog: Doesn't give a f*ck about genre conventions and does a blast of a genre mix. It's an amazing film, funny, excellent social criticism. And Nicholas Cage is intense and hilarious too. If you want original, interesting and good watch it.
Same as everyone else: Was watching maybe the best sci fi film, all psychological tension and poetic visual, when the third act comes up and fucks it up. Nonetheless... Those two first acts deserve a lot of praise.
