A+ for the soundtrack. D for the film.

Hatami is no longer the striking neonate naive beauty of Mehrjui's Leila, the Leila who had no recourse but to be subject to humiliations in an unapologetically patriarchal society. She portrays in A Separation a more empowered woman, but one dealing with a new set of problems that accompany such empowerment. Her face, no longer so perfect and youthful and striking, is now more weather-beaten but also more knowing.

The hype is well-deserved. To really understand the topical social relevance of this film, one must first watch Dariush Mehrjui's 1996 film, Leila, which also stars the lovely Leila Hatami. The place of the wife in the Iranian middle-class families has changed drastically in the last 15 years, and Hatami's striking physical maturation over the same period embodies this transformation.

Ridiculous from an art perspective, irresponsible from a social perspective. What a piece of shit. But hey, Soderbergh is technically accomplished. One star for that.

2+ hours of beautiful nude female bodies and Frederick Wiseman, two of my favorite things in the world. What is not to love?

definitely on my list of top 10 films from sub-Saharan Africa.

Just god-fucking awful. Chaperoned my 10-year-old cousin and his buddy to this thing, and I literally could not stay awake. Whenever I managed to stay awake, I had to hear the Captain's all-American gf who is a high ranking officer in the US military speak with a British accent. Utterly retarded.

Apparently Portugal has the best looking garbage collectors in the world.

Yes, Asian women love to be beaten and need a proper Western gentleman to teach them better. What a fucking joke of a movie.

this gem--without a doubt im's best work and one of very best korean films--now has english subs. if anyone is interested, feel free to pm me.

Wanna know why Jesus ain't coming back? Because even he gives this piece of shit a thumbs down and doesn't want to watch it!

a 107 minute long douche commercial starring inviolable virginal blondes.

oh, who added the cheburashka films!!!! :)

I just re-watched this on Blu-Ray on 52", and it was as poignant an experience as it had been 10 years (!!!) ago in the theater. There are imperfections--Malick idealizes the Melanesians as the noble savage (as he did with the Native Americans in The New World) and the overuses voiceovers when silence would be preferred. Yet, in spite of these flaws, it remains one of the most powerful antiwar films ever made.

A massive improvement over Slumdog Millionaire. Not that that's saying much.

Unstoppable = Unwatchable.

Anais Nin is turning over in her grave, yet I will rate it since I masturbated to it once or twice.

oh man, this sounds great. at the very least, wildly entertaining.

can't remember if I watched the 2 hour movie version of this. but the TV show sure bring back memories! :D

One part Aki Kaurismaki, one part Bela Tarr, one part David Lynch, a pinch of Denis Levant with a miniature accordion, shake vigorously,and then finally top it with a garnish of Peter Greenaway. And voila!

Oooo, another all-time masterpiece from Korea.

Oh how many times I've gotten into trouble playing with the pretty little kitty cat.

shit, mierda, scheisse, merde, خرا, merda, drit, 똥, 大便

Barely passable as entertainment, irredeemably horrible as art, beyond overrated as some genius statement on the zeitgeist. In a word, poop.

Better than Citizen Kane, and it's about making dumpling in real time.

I had always been under the impression I was the only man whose penis emits a beautiful mysterious light as it does its business, but this film taught me that this is rather a common occurrence. Nevertheless, this film is fucking genius.

Moon So-ri and Hong Sang-soo. Wow.

It's the twenty-fucking-first century, and these idiots are still making horror films about nasty old gypsy women who put curses on pretty little WASP blondes? Are you fucking kidding me?

No, people, you do NOT want to see this.

What the fuck? These ass wipes stole my pickup line.
