Foundation of Sirkian endings perhaps?

One of the most beautiful endings in modern American cinema.

An incredible film in every aspect. Only film I've ever seen to use that type of ending in a pertinent, political, self-reflexive and magnificent way.

"What struck me in 1981 and again recently about Wolfen is how much it reflects the same grandiose '60s blend of leftist idealism, countercultural eclecticism and big-screen (and multi-track audio) experimentation." - Jonathan Rosenbaum (Cinema Scope, Summer 2011)

One of the most Sirkian endings I have seen since Sirk himself.

"I remember watching Dovzhenko’s Earth in 16mm in the tiny screening room in the old film center at Bard. I noticed Adolfas Mekas in the back, standing by the projector. ... a beautiful Soviet-style montage of apples in orchards, sunshine, happy people, and more apples. Adolfas, a tear in his eye, very moved, said loud over the projector clatter, “That! That is Cinema!” He taught by sharing his epiphanies."Jeff Scher

A perfect end to one of the most exciting filmographies in French cinema.

Squirrels to nuts! Got to see beautiful 35 print today!

This film is incredible, what an amazing opening.

Just as impressive as Gance's "Napoleon" (except maybe for the length difference) but more poetic and beautiful. A magnificent cop killing scene that must've inspired Godard's famous scene in "Breathless," surprisingly though this one is even more disorienting. One of the greatest films I've ever seen.

Almost every aspect of this film makes it better than the original. An incredible film.

One of the greatest endings in film history.

Post-68 theory realized through the cinema.

One of the greatest, most anarchic and innovative films of the 20th century.

One of the most beautiful, honest, and poetic look of children the cinema has offered. Childhood expressed perfectly in ten minutes. It's surprising how well Baillie manages the material to the point that the children's disabilities have no purpose in the film; the children are represented just as normal as any other child, and their experience can represent the childhood experience for all children.

Finally, the greatest film ever!

This guy is amazing, so humble, down to earth and nice. People will always say he sold out or what not but "Your Highness" was one of the first ideas him and McBride ever came up with while still in Film school, before "George Washington". Anyways, he's got some great ideas and it was awesome to meet him and hear him speak. With that said, I've only seen part of Undertow, Pineapple Express, and Your Highness (none of which have blown me away), so it's not like I think he's the greatest filmmaker but he's amazing and is doing what he wants to do and helping other people make it as well.

One of the most playful films ever, as well as one of the greatest comedies. And those are just two of the countless redeeming qualities of this nine (not six...) minute masterpiece.

That still is not from this film...

On the same level of entertainment as "Historias Extraordinarias"

Didn't like Requiem For a Dream, didn't like The Fountain, have no intention of ever watching The Wrestler, and don't remember Pi; but this was a fine fine film... (The only problem was the cheap and childish "startle effects" inserted but there's only three of them, and Natalie Portman's acting at the beginning was annoying but only at the beginning.)

perfect indeed

The greatest cinematic experience I've ever had.

Yes, the comedy is over the top and the beginning of the film had me hating it, but there isn't much comedy and the rest turns out to be quite good, so... A fun watch for sure. Blood Simple is a comedy in its own way too so I'm not too sure why someone would be so disturbed that a comedy remake of Blood Simple was made...

The memorial video Rob makes of the girls makes this film worth watching, even if everything else was horrible, which is not. Amazing and beautifully photographed.
