Great film, a bit on the longish side, but still worth it.

Excellent documentary on the NYC independent film/art/music movement of the late 70's and early 80's. You can feel the passion of these former unknowns, trying to put something on film no matter what cost and then push to get it seen by real audiences. Today we just film and drop it into a website.

Should be called "American Misfits". Interesting film, but these three people are yearning so hard to tap into some higher power to take them from their own lives. It's annoying and heartbreaking.

Oh, what a lovely surprise. A great movie from beginning to end, and one that Thomas Mitchell walks away with...such an underrated actor.

Superior version to MGM! Please check it out when you have a chance. Anton Walbrook is fantastic.

I had read about this film for years, and the commentary on Criterion's "Brief Encounter" kept referring to it. I got a rather scratched up version from Netflix and was amazingly surprised at how good it was, how suspenseful, well-acted and crafted. One has to use their imagination for a bit to drop Noel Coward into the Lord Mountbatten role of boat captain, but he fares very well. Worth the view.

One of the biggest visual treats I have ever seen, I do love this film, but something is missing and I can't put my finger on it. Trintignant is fantastic, the blind birthday party is a classic, but when Dominique Sanda appears, something about her just throws me headlong into the 1970's and I can't get back into the film as I did prior. I just feel she was cast because she looks lovely but that's about it. Hmm.

Beautiful to watch, the hitman story leaves a lot to be desired, but the mute ex-con and his girlfriend are hysterical and make the movie worth it.

This won this year's Golden Bear. Let's keep an eye on it...

An amazing, stunning surprise I didn't expect. Has a definite Bergmanesque feel, but stands on its own. I agree with Madd Scientist: it is scary as hell sometimes. You'll be thinking about it days after...

Man, this one was painful. I tried to like it - really did - but it just hasn't held up.

I heard a rumor that this film was actually five or so hours long at the outset and Vigo chopped it down. Can you imagine that? Oh, to have those lost pieces...

I wholeheartedly agree with Nate Q. Watch "The Battle of Algiers" first, and then "Cache". Everything will make sense.
