Not really refined choices it seems, but films that stuck with me as a Gesamtkunstwerk. It was a fun try, got me thinking :-)

What films have you walked out on and why ? about 3 years ago

Sweet Sixteen (2002) Ken Loach is soo good; it made me claustrophobic, it was a beautiful day and I wanted to get out of the cinema.

Our opinion on about 3 years ago

Just a quick gestion: How do you rate the Last Tango in Paris today?

Our opinion on about 3 years ago

Yes I did know! Gelin acted with James Stewart in “The man who knew too much” didn´t he?

As for the rape theme Schneider puts it best in the her Daily mail interview from 07`:

“I should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can’t force someone to do something that isn’t in the script, but at the time, I didn’t know that. Marlon said to me: ‘Maria, don’t worry, it’s just a movie,’ but during the scene, even though what Marlon was doing wasn’t real, I was crying real tears. I felt humiliated and to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci. After the scene, Marlon didn’t console me or apologise. Thankfully, there was just one take.”

You are right, but I have to admit I love this scene : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFsFMlgLFsQ

Ewan McGregor's career about 3 years ago

Hello Colin! I am not the biggest McGregor expert, but he did Shakespeare on stage in London last year was in that good film with Michelle Williams and is cruising round the world in a motorcycle. He gave a lovely Masterclass talk to a group young and hopeful actors directors and writers about his life around 6 months ago which I attended and thorouhghly enjoyed. His point was that he considered his life to have been blessed and extremely lucky, I don´t think he is a case of Sienna Miller….

Although the movie with Zellweger 60s stuff Rock Hudsonesque that was bad :-)

Best biographical movies about 3 years ago

They showed Chaplin on German TV last night, Robert Downey Jr. actually reminded me of Lady Gaga

I personally like semi autobiographical stuff, where it´s clear where the inspiration came from; like Mephisto with Klaus Maria Brandauer…

It´s clear he portrays the actor Gustav Gründgens but he is called Henrik Höfgen in the book/movie --

Holiday, the credit crunch and how Katharine Hepburn won me over about 3 years ago

Which is your favourite scene in Holiday?
Mine begins when Hepburn says “I could never decide whether I wanted to be Joan of Arc, Florence Nightingale or John L. Lewis”
