About Me

Some really good Raul Ruiz movies I enjoyed a lot and not present on mubi, they have a completely dislocated and surrealist structure unlike more mainstream ones such as Marcel Proust’s Time Regained, Klimt, Comedy of Innocence, That Day etc.:
- Combat d’amours en songe or Love Torn in Dream (this one is a masterpiece)

I still need to figure out which were the other ones… :)

If you understand French, there is a great short movie named Le film à venir visible on youtube

Dj Spooky revisits Cocteau’s Blood of a Poet. The result is quite close to Philip Glass’ opera on The Beauty and The Beast…

The Tree of Life

Terence Malick knows how to film dinosaurs and children better than anybody :-) Frankly that might sound weird, but the film is just stunning in how it captures everything delicately and intimately, from the visual sceneries and little motions, to the moods that agitate the character's minds. There is also one shot with a flock of starlings that is a film by itself, and makes the film worth to see just for that.

Oh okay. As for the Garrel film with Smet, it was on French TV, but without subtitles. I watched maybe 1/3 of it before turning it off, as it was quite talky. I might check out UV. Also Insoupçonnable has the potential to be very bad, but I want to see it anyway.

Fantastic story on the theme of the identity (cultural, ethnic, religious, national etc.) and the absurd complexity it can lead to when pushed to its extremes. The overall thematic turns also the film…  read review

Fantastic melodrama shot in a gorgeous black and white. With cool motorbike and car scenes :) I also loved the closing shot and the scene with the plastic duck (the one chosen to illustrate the film…  read review

The beginning is a bit weak (some dialogs could have been better especially), but the film gets better and better as it progresses.

The simple situations and dialogs used by Xavier Beauvois…  read review
