Thank God! I was 12 when I started to really dig cinema too… now I’m 17 and I can pass on my experience to you… “experience”, I mean.
KUROSAWA – Sanjuro, Ran, Throne of Blood (since you’ve seen Seven Samurai and Rashomon)
FELLINI – La Dolce Vita, La Strada, Nights of Cabiria – then see the post-Neorealist stuff like 8 1/2 and Juliet of the Spirits
TRUFFAUT – The 400 Blows, Jules and Jim, Stolen Kisses
ANTONIONI – I agree with that other person about Antonioni being really heavy… he is, like a much slower and more quiet version of Bergman… but first see – L’Avventura, The Red Desert, Blow Up… DO NOT START WITH L’Eclisse… DO NOT… see that when you’re older… much older… and Blow Up may be a bit mature too…. but oh well….
The stuff from Godard in the 60s they missed, like Vivre sa vie (especially), Une Femme mariee, La Chinoise, Made in USA, Deux ou trois choses que je sais d’elle, Le Petit soldat, Weekend.
Eclipse should release the Dziga Vertov Group films in one set.
Is horriffically underrated. Il Posto and I Fidanzati are two of the most beautiful, true films I’ve ever seen. And no one ever speaks of him. A crime.
it’s okay up until the 90 minute mark, when everything starts to go DOWNHILL terribly… so many unnecessary sub-plots… and the idiocy of introducing a MAJOR character when th movie has only 20 minutes left… it was overlong and felt like it was thrown together at the very last minute… the best thing about it was Heath Leager, who was brilliant, I must say… but everything else: 2/10

by L’Eclisse being mature I mean emotionally… but not so much with Blow Up…
