I want to see The Secret In Their Eyes and Departures.
I might be seeing The Secret In Their Eyes in a few weeks time.
Got The Killer from my queue. Gotta find time to watch it.
Watch it now! It was amazing.
Jim Jarmuch's "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" is another great take on the "Le Samourai" story.
Yeah and also "Bullet in the Head" and Melville's "Le Samourai" (A big influence on Woo.)
AgreedJim Jarmuch's "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" is another great take on the "Le Samourai" story.
Me too.i liked the different takes on yojimbo like fist full of dollars and last man standing.
. Ran is great.Finished watching Ran for the first time earlier today. Damn, it basically exceeded my rather lofty expectations. The design and look of the film is nearly unmatched in my opinion, Kurosawa and co. really brought this story and world to life on screen.
I watched the Blu-ray edition, and there was some controversy over the shoddy transfer, but I thought it was fine. It wasn't as good as it ultimately should have been, and I wish Criterion could've gotten the chance to transfer it properly like they did with several of his other samurai classics, but this wasn't as bad as I think may made it out to be for a movie of it's age.
Haha. It's Conrad Veidt in The Man Who Laughs but now that you mention it, I can see the Kattan ressemblance toot:.^your avatar reminds me of chris kattan.
just curious if anyone has seen shadow of the vampire,its not foreign but it is based on a foreign film. willem dafoe is very good in it. it's based on the nosferatu german film. it's the fictional making of the german film.
That sounds cool. I wish I had seen it in the theater too. Belmondo is the man and Seberg was great too.Love Breathless! I was lucky to see it in 35 mm this past June at a local art house theater. It was fantastic.
