Ok, sure, piracy is stealing. And while some people steal films because they have no other alternative (China, where I am), or because they can’t afford to buy, there are of course those who just don’t want to pay. But all these people, regardless of motive, are interested in seeing the films that they steal. So if the studios released content for free, they would have an instant advertising base. Its just time to rethink the business model here.
I am new to this site. But I was sad to see that while Run Lola Run etc are on auteurs. I could not seem to find his film Heaven. How does one go about adding a film? For those of you who have not seen this film, it is a real gem. Cate Blanchett’s best.
Kieslowski apparently was planning on creating another trilogy, Heaven, Hell and Purgatory. For me, this film perfectly embodies the idea of redemption and heaven. The last shot especially. I agree about Princess and the Warrior being flawed (though I still like it), but for me Heaven really strikes a cord.
“I thought it was needlessly “pretty” at times.”
I think this is intentional. It is supposed to be ethereal, almost meditative. It is a shame that Kieslowski died before writing the other two!!
