First Film you can remember seeing at the movies almost 3 years ago

Beauty and the beast. I was 3 years old and i was terrified by Jean Marais’ costume. After seeing it, i always searched in my room for the beast to come… Terrifiyng experience… Jaws was also another young bad experience. I still have difficulties to swim very far from the beach…

What books would you like to see adapted for the screen? almost 3 years ago

Can’t wait to see a great movie adaptation of “On the Road” by Kerouac or “Kafka on the shore” by Murakami…
There is also a lack of Henning Mankell’s and James Ellroy’s good adaptations… One Step Behind is such a great novel !

And what about “The Mother and the Whore” or other Jean Eustache’s movies… Or the beautiful Jacques Demy’s “Lola”… Or also Shirley Clarke’s “The Connection”…
Criterion is such a great dvd editor, trust him to find great films to edit…

Walden, Diaries Notes and Sketches (1969)
Director: Jonas Mekas
DP: Jonas Mekas
Cast: Timothy Leary, Ed Emshwiller, Franz Fuenstler, Jack Smith, Mario Montez, Nico, Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol, Judith Malina, Storm De Hirsch, Norman Mailer, Allen Ginsberg, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Stan Brakhage, Lou Reed, John Cale, Shirley Clarke, Nick Dorsky, Carl Theodor Dreyer, Jerome Hill, Ken Jacobs, Peter Kubelka, Naomi Levine, Gregory J. Markopoulos, Adolfas Mekas, Jonas Mekas, Marie Menken, Hans Richter, Barbet Schroeder, Harry Smith, P. Adams Sitney, Michael Snow
Editor: Jonas Mekas



http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0196499/

Poet and hero of the American counter-culture, Jonas Mekas, born in Lithuania in 1922, invented the diary form of film-making. Walden, his first completed diary film, an epic portrait of the New York avant-garde art scene of the 60s, is also a groundbreaking work of personal cinema.
“Since 1950 I have been keeping a film diary. I have been walking around with my Bolex and reacting to the immediate reality: situations, friends, New York, seasons of the year. On some days I shoot ten frames, on others ten seconds, still on others ten minutes. Or I shoot nothing…. Walden contains material from the years 1964-1968 strung together in chronological order.”
Jonas Mekas
“Jonas Mekas’s films celebrate life. They rise up against the world’s overwhelming commercialism, attempting instead to revive the pleasures of friendship, a first snowfall or the return of Spring. Mekas’s genius stems from his generously including the viewer in his vision of the world, allowing us to (re)discover, in a simple image, the incredible force and necessity of poetry.”
Yann Beauvais

Seishun zankoku monogatari (Cruel Story of Youth ) 1960
Director: Nagisa Oshima
DP: Takashi Kawamata
Producer: Tomio Ikeda
Composer: Riichiro Manabe
Editor: Keiichi Uraoka
Cast: Yûsuke Kawazu, Miyuki Kuwano, Yoshiko Kuga, Fumio Watanabe, Shinji Tanaka, Yoshimi Ito, Yosuke Hayashi, Shinjiro Matsuzaki, Toshiko Kobayashi, Jun Hamamura, Shinko Ujiie, Aki Morishima, Yuki Tominaga, Kei Satô, Asao Sano



http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054286/

Makoto and Kiyoshi’s generation follows their desires. She’s in high school when a university student, Kiyoshi, rescues her from an older man’s assault. The next day he takes her out, is alternately cruel and tender, insists roughly on sex, and then discards her. A week later she calls him; waiting for him at a bar, two pimps accost her. Again Kiyoshi rescues her, and their affair begins in earnest. She moves in with him, continues school, and they support themselves by extorting money from men who offer her a ride and then make a pass: Kiyoshi shows up to beat them. Things are semi-OK until pregnancy and a short stay in jail change their relationship. Written by {jhailey@hotmail.com}

A young maid is attacked by a man armed with a knife, which then tied her up and raped her. It is in fact a murderer wanted by the police, already convicted of eleven murders in the same year…
Journey into the sick mind of a criminal, Violence at High Noon is with The Empire of the senses, one of the most provocative films, most notable of Oshima.
