Holy Smoke\'s ludicrious stabs at Indian cultism).  Perhaps the on-slaught of hundreds of films per year mostly by Bollywood studios, of which a good majority resort to traditional Hollywood musical plots and sensibilites, has made the more serious films diminish in comparison.  I know from an interview with a local filmmaker who is native to the land, that a film is next to impossible to sell, let alone make, if it is not backed by Bollywood studios and stars.  India produces more than 700 films per year, and yet I can\'t remember the last one that came to my local art house. It seems a bit sad, that filmmakers of a struggling nation should be ignored because the majority of the public prefers watered-down musicals. . . \n\n- by the way the last Indian films that came to our art house were Kama Sutra & Bandit Queen a few years back (the latter of which you should see)','c5393923b87cad2bcdba2a87eb83191a',0,'','tTgGdA2s',1,0,'',0,0,0),(541,175,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',984531245,1,0,1,1,1,1,'desifilms','Re: a few good indian films','A number of classic Indian movies have just been released on DVD.

After the shenannigans of missing the sold-out preview, I finally saw it two days ago. I have ideas about the nature of the style but they\'re still forming. Does anyone agree with me that In the Mood is reminisceint of Vivre sa vie (dissonance in style) and L\'Eclisse (dissatisfaction/alienation thematics)? Both were made in 1962, when In the Mood\'s story begins. The Cambodian narrative at the end features footage of De Gaulle. Why? The year is 1966, roughly the end of La Nouvelle Vague. Is this resonating for anyone? I don\'t know what I\'m trying to say about what WKW is trying to say, but perhaps something is being said about continental influence in South-East Asian history leading to an influence in cinematic style (especially WKW\'s own influences). I enjoyed the film a lot and if it marks a shift in the stylistic interests of WKW, I look forward to seeing where he goes from here. Does anyone know why Chris Doyle is merely the co-cinematographer? Something that immensely annoyed a friend was the lack of the song, In the Mood for Love; the Brian Ferry version heard in the previews. He was really pissed off. But the Nat King Cole selection sat with me very well. One dramatic difference from the old WKW was the abundant use of repetition and ellipsis. There seems to be a large focus on rhythm and, dare I say it, revealing of narrative in a decidedly Hou Hsiao-hsien like manner. Perhaps Doyle got a little irritated at all this formalism. :-/','bb0cc2b4a9b2f48fe42d0325fc8efe7a',0,'','EeRQJi24',1,0,'',0,0,0),(626,184,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',986206052,1,0,1,1,1,1,'nana','Re: wrong kar-wai','funkyduck---\n\ni think you are reading too much into it, but it is interesting though...explain \" but perhaps something is being said about continental influence in South-East Asian history leading to an influence in cinematic style (especially WKW\'s own influences).  \n\ni would like to hear more on that.\nhow do you rank in the mood...compare to his other films?\n---nana','9911e2bb53cb483f310686222c7c3818',0,'','c2joBGmD',1,0,'',0,0,0),(627,184,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',986614221,1,0,1,1,1,1,'katsuben','Re: wrong kar-wai','nana, i may well be interpreting too widely and not looking at the film as a film. but given that i\'ve only seen it once, that is what i instantly thought about at first. i think what i said is about as far as i can explain it at the moment: continental interests in south-east asia (e.g. the french-indochina occupation) may have led to certain continental impressions subverting the socio-culture of south-east asia, a part of which is cinema. make sense?\n\ncomparisons? as i said, i liked the film a lot. i would find it hard to discursively compare/contrast it to his other films without segmentation and discreet analysis. it certainly seems to represent a shift, somewhat of a maturity.','bab831aa9574bacc974186aaa34461df',0,'','6MVKckuy',1,0,'',0,0,0),(628,184,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',986614274,1,0,1,1,1,1,'katsuben','Re: wrong kar-wai','i\'d like to see other opinions on the ending. any takers?\n','9076af8228127d5231a267defc17f856',0,'','vlnLpYTr',1,0,'',0,0,0),(629,184,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',986649250,1,0,1,1,1,1,'acquarello','Re: wrong kar-wai','It is hard to definitively state that this is Wong\'s transitional film without seeing what his next project looks like (\"2004\", I think), although the lack of the voice-over narrative and the more polished look of \"In the Mood for Love\" seems to point in that direction.\n\nIncidentally, if I remember the Voice article correctly, \"In the Mood for Love\" was not only shot somewhat in conjunction with \"2004\", but there were also some reshoot overlaps involving actors Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung who were also working a Hou Hsiao Hsien film.

The ending is bizarre enough to entertain various interpretations. The idea of wandering certainly comes across strong, but does it include the French wandering into South-East Asia (stock footage)? If so, what does that imply? Perhaps I would like to link the idea of wandering with the concept of imperialism and bring it into arguments about the form of the film (undeniably different to previous WKW films and, to me at least, very similar to the stylistic dissonance of \'Vivre sa vie\').

I\'m 17 and from Canada, and have just started a film club at my school.  It\'s fairly difficult to get other students to come out to see films and discuss them afterwards, but I am trying my best.  So far, some of the films that we have watched have been Run Lola Run and Sliding Doors (which we discussed the concepts of fate/destiny vs. life choices), Central Station (where we discussed teh concept of familial love, etc.), and quite a few other films.  What I have noticed, is that our turn out is normally a lot better when we show newer, more vibrant films (such as Sliding Doors & Run Lola Run), so I need some help selecting some new films.\n\nDoes anyone have any suggestions?\n\nthanks!','7710fd386205175c7e800c0f35187a80',0,'','9Nr3bCqw',1,0,'',0,0,0),(656,190,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',987834959,1,0,1,1,1,1,'katsuben','Re: Help picking a film','if visceral films are the agenda, you might be interested in such things as Godard\'s \'Breathless\' or Kalatozov\'s \'I Am Cuba\' or Tarkovsky\'s \'Solaris\' or Wong Kar-Wai\'s \'Chungking Express\'. personally, i think you should play what you want to see and if someone else turns up it\'s a bonus. after all, you\'re the one doing all the organising. but that\'s straight from idealism central. . .','afbd9322c6663daa26882ecd4ea9cffd',0,'','Anjkhbf7',1,0,'',0,0,0),(657,190,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',987835530,1,0,1,1,1,1,'nana','Re: Help picking a film','i think you should show a little of everything.  show films from different countries \ndifferent cultures, and different generations.  make it diverse, but be aware that\nmost people have to get used to subtitles and long sloooooooowwww films.  cause\nmost people are used to hollywood\'s one liner crap.  good luck!!\n---nana','b046f537c8074f4bb850b1e8e3ebe2a2',0,'','Nfgoy9Y5',1,0,'',0,0,0),(658,190,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',987909559,1,0,1,1,1,1,'aguirre','Re: Help picking a film','Even though it beats you over the head with its sentimentality, I can\'t help but recommend Cinema Paradiso.

It\'s about 5 minutes long and features Marker\'s tabby (or similar) doing what a cat does best: sleeping. The location is a music studio, presumably in Marker\'s house. The cat is lounging on a synthesiser. The film mostly depicts a montage of detail shots, the cat\'s flickering ear, the cats paw on D#, etc. There is a musical accompaniment but I don\'t recall it\'s name.\n When I saw this film there was also a short by Marker on the painter, Matta. It was called, unsurprisingly, MATTA. This may assist or hinder this research. Matta had a very good joke about the whiskers of a catfish and he explained how he perceives reality in seven dimensions. Swell guy. Any help or discourse would be appreciated. I doubt if there is an accompalation video of Marker\'s shorts but if one is available please let me know! (Obviously this is not intended to open enquiry about LA JETTE or THE LAST BOLSHEVIK or SANS SOLEIL, but, hey, go for your life. . .).\n I just remembered there was also a film about Marker\'s visit to Hong Kong which featured an on-the-move interview with Arielle Dombasle. (By the way, I saw these films - including the Last Day in the Life of Tarkovsky, pre-English subtitles) as a collection about 3 years ago.

That makes a lot of sense.  There are a lot of films from other countries that I don\'t think it\'s foreign.  It is hard to differ Americans and Canadians.  To a majority of people across either Pacific or Atlantic, they assume that Jim Carrey is a funny \"American\" actor, and Pamela Anderson is a hot \"American\" chick.  Sometimes it is hard to compare Americans with Aussies and Kiwis.  Australia gave us Guy Pearce (\"L.A. Confidential\", \"Memento\", and the upcoming \"Count of Monte Cristo\" movie), Hugh Jackman (\"X-Men\", \"Swordfish\", and \"Kate & Leopold\"), Heath Ledger (\"A Knight\'s Tale\"), and the Aussie stereotype Paul Hogan; while NZ gave us Russell Crowe (\"Gladiator\") and Sam Neill (the first and third \"Jurassic Park\").  Mel Gibson and Nicole Kidman are pseudo-Aussies because they are born in the States.\nOf course the Americans differ from the Brits.  I couldn\'t consider them foreign though.  I separate British pics (like \"Trainspotting\", \"The Full Monty\", the original \"Get Carter\", and the early James Bond films) from the ones I label \"foreign\".

But to my utmost surprise, I liked his first colour film more than any of the others. A big call indeed. I was just wondering what the general opinion is with respect to Bresson\'s ouevre. His particular mise-en-scene foci (fragmentation of the body, frames-within-frames, on-axis entrances and exits for instance) seem to me somehow more essential to this film\'s narrative than any other. The lead actor, Guy Frangin, is quintessential Bresson. Whatever kind of void exists within him pours out of his emotionless face. Dominique Sanda, much to my surprise, befits Bressonian transcendence sublimely. There\'s very little to conclude about characterisation which intensely highlights the lack that seems to be central to the film\'s meaning. My Bresson interest has re-newed itself: I\'m seeing THE DEVIL, PROBABLY shortly.

For the last few years, we have traveled to over 30 film festivals nationwide, and came to one conclusion - We can do it better! \n\nA film festival should be about the hard working filmmakers. There are a lot of fantastic films out there that won\'t ever get a theatrical release. This is the reason film festivals are perfect. SCIFF will showcase 100 films from around the world in a span of 6 days in the beautiful city of Huntington Beach, California - 30 minutes south of Los Angeles. Our categories for the first year will include narrative features, shorts, documentaries, digital, animation and music videos. We are going to be very selective in the films we choose for exhibition. Quality is key with us. Picture and sound quality are essential! We plan on becoming a top festival that acquisition executives and film byers want and need to attend, and great films will get them there. We would love to play a part in advancing a filmmakers film and/or career. This is good for us as well. \n\nIn addition to the film screenings, we will hold after parties every night of the festival at nearby clubs and restaurants. There will be a ribbon-cutting opening gala and closing night awards ceremony. This is expected to be a big event as it will be televised live on local channels. We offer awards to the best films of the festival, including our very own Lifetime Achievement Award, which is voted by the filmmakers on who they feel is the most influential independent filmmaker. The nominees for the 1st year are one of the best indie filmmakers around: John Waters, Quentin Tarantino & David Lynch. These filmmakers will be notified that they have been nominated and will be personally invited to the ceremony. \n\nWe invite you all to come share our inagurial year with us next July, as it promises to be an exciting event. The submission deadline for all films is February 02, 2002. However, you may start submitting your work as early as August 01, 2001. Because this is our first year, we highly encourage early submissions. Early submissions mean early notifications. \n\n  Surf City International Film Festival\n  5901 Warner Avenue #136\n Huntington Beach, CA 92649\n Fax: (949) 770-1990\n E-mail: programming@surfcityfilmfest.com\n                                \n Visit our web site at www.surfcityfilmfest.com\n','82b1db19304dd9cc4e31095fb036d76a',0,'','UXQAfT98',1,0,'',0,0,0),(873,237,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',996392854,1,0,1,1,1,1,'niko.siopis','Film Makers Night -NYC','In the Heart of New York, The Trilogy Theatre is the place for New and Unreleased films.

He already made us dream with La Cité des Enfants Perdus, but it was in another world, and in other times.

She can give happiness to people, without waiting for reward. In fact, she doesn\'t do anything special, but she can, for example give sight to an old blind man, just making him cross the street. She can cure hypocondria... But she doesn\'t need any power, just a pure heart. What about her? Who will help her to be happy and change her life? Who will take care of her?

I would like to learn more about yourself and how you became a fan of foreign films and how do you get to see foreign films? The reason why I became interested is that my mother is French and we have a satellite system, which receives French television where the films are of a considerably higher standard than on British television and even on S4C!

Second Best,directed by double Oscar winning cinematographer Chris Menges was filmed at Knighton, my home town.A friend of mine had  a reasonable part as an Adoption worker ,alongside William Hurt.\nIranian Films;i\'m a great admirer of contemporary Iranian Cinema-Kiarostami(Close-Up,The Taste of Cherry,The Wind will Carry us,Through the Olive Trees..),Mohsen Makhmalbaf(Gabbeh,A Moment of Innocence..),his precocious young daughter Samira(The Apple,Blackboards),Majid Majidi(The Colour of Paradise),Panahi(The White Balloon..)etc.They put British cinema to shame.We\'ve screened 2 of them at our film society in the last year,they were very well received.An essential book on the subject is Close Up:Iranian Cinema Past and Present,by Hamid Dabashi.You may like Gabbeh ,as i do, as the visual style owes a little to Paradjanov.The countryside shown is interesting and the colours are gorgeous.The White Balloon is absolutely charming.Close Up is a quite brilliant examination of illusion and reality,rightly regarded by critics as one of the very best films of the decade.\nI spent six consecutive Easters in Paris when i was younger-it knocks spots off London.I\'m still a Francophile at heart. \nThat\'s enough for now!Hwyl fawr.

Anyway, in some cases you don\'t know if the person writing the subtitles is doing the film justice (the subtitles for Open City have always felt a little lacking to me, but as I don\'t know Italian, I could never tell).  By the way, there was a letter sent to American distributors a few years ago by foreign directors (Almodovar, for one) that supported dubbing, if for no other reason than more people would show up (I would rather a person see a film like Cold Water dubbed, than to avoid a subtitled version altogether).

I first saw Federico Fellini\'s \"La Strada\" on PBS way back in the mid seventies, and I\'ve been in love with the movie ever since. Every time I saw it, however, it was always the dubbed version...whether it was on TV, at the movie theater or video tape. I knew the film was originally made in Italian, but \"La Strada\" was exceptionally well dubbed with Anthony Quinn and Richard Basehart dubbing with their own voices in the English language version.\n\nI bought the brand new Criterion DVD when it came out earlier this month. It features the original Italian with subtitles and the dubbed English soundtrack with Quinn and Basehart. Although I was somewhat hesitant to watch the movie for the first time in the language it was made in, it didn\'t change my love and appreciation of the \"La Strada\" one iota. In fact I was quite surprised by some of the differences in the dialogue between the dubbed and subtitled versions. It was almost like seeing it for the first time once again. \n\nOf course the DVD of \"La Strada\" is excellant...it has never looked better. The two disc set features an introduction by Martin Scorsese (a puzzler, in my opinion, on account of how violent some of Scorsese\'s movies are), the U.S. trailer, and a fascinating feature length Italian TV documentary on Fellini that covers his career from \"La Dolce Vita\" to \"Amarcord\". I can\'t tell you about the audio commentary because I rarely listen to them...they remind me too much of the moron who always manages to sit behind me at the cinema who can\'t keep his mouth shut.  My experience with audio commentaries is that they add little to the appreciation of a film for me anyway. I\'ll give \"La Strada\"\'s audio commentary a try sometime just to see if it\'s more tolerable than most DVD commentaries.\n\nBigCatfish','bf7c40b5c1aeb445034b4d859e0f1289',0,'','8HSQXqKa',1,0,'',0,0,0),(1134,291,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1012259280,1,0,1,1,1,1,'ianna_2000','burnt sugar','i wonder if anyone has seen this movie,it\'s b/w and about life in cuba.i have never seen anything by this director,but the film just blew me _away_. the acting,the music,the plot definitely... a rare gem,especially considering i found it at good ole blockbuster too!','fb479cad80ea0832d21bb6cff599a2b2',0,'','uhPsgKTl',1,0,'',0,0,0),(1135,291,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1012746819,1,0,1,1,1,1,'ndibra','Re: burnt sugar','I will keep my eye out for it..I must say that Blockbuster has a weird way of catgorizing things..some foreing are IN the foreign section..SOME are in the DRAMA..and when they USED to have the TEAR JERKER section..some were there as well..\nThanks for the Suggestion!\n','ddbbe70a6235b53e6a505f347038196b',0,'','wZt8kgFa',1,0,'',0,0,0),(1136,291,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1015059100,1,0,1,1,1,1,'ianna_2000','Re: burnt sugar','hey,no problem...let me know if ya liked it ;)','70f38e6d200d239b82e79a9df75285c1',0,'','dyB3iPma',1,0,'',0,0,0),(1137,292,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1012595813,1,0,1,1,1,1,'mani_fh','Iranian Cinema','Any opinion?\n','4b87822711067ac9af3864724b983faa',0,'','MHsSfB0p',1,0,'',0,0,0),(1138,292,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1012688295,1,0,1,1,1,1,'john-5','Re: Iranian Cinema','Iranian cinema in recent years puts most countries to shame.Abbas Kiarostami is the director most admired by critics-try \"Close-up\",\"Through the Olive Trees\" for starters(several others are excellent,quietly poetic).\"The White Balloon\",by Jafar Panahi is a little charmer.Try also his \"The Circle\".Mohsen Makhmalbaf is another important director.Of his films i\'ve seen ,i\'d personally recommend \"Gabbeh\" for its beautiful colours and interesting scenery,though it\'s not to all tastes.His daughter Samira has made 2 excellent features,while still very young:\"The Apple\" and \"Blackboards\".Farmanara (\"Prince Ehtejab\"etc),Baiza\'i(\"Bashu the Little Stranger\"etc) and Mehrjui(\"The Cow\",1968,a landmark) are probably the other most admired Iranian film-makers,but most of the films shown in the west over the past decade or so are well worth seeing.','f5b8ac4a632fec1c4513d41990c2a828',0,'','qJwNQRH6',1,0,'',0,0,0),(1139,292,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1012689211,1,0,1,1,1,1,'john-5','Re: Iranian Cinema','I forgot to mention(not for the first time) Majid Majidi\'s popular \"The Colour of Paradise\",currently in the ForeignFilms top 100,and \"Children of Heaven\".If you want to know more,i\'d recommend Hamid Dabashi\'s book,\"Iranian Cinema,Past Present and Future\".This covers pretty well all the major Iranian classics,gives a good overview.

Six years later, a male-hustling teenager, beautifully depicted by a young Gregoire Colin (Dreamlife of Angels, Beau Travail) is returned to the boy\'s family, claiming to be the lost Olivier.

I thought it might have been totally uneccessary to show what happened to the characters years later but it wasn\'t as bad as it could have been. It was nice to see Brigette Fossey on screen again, as his girlfriend 30 years later. Maybe those 51 minutes are played a little too preciously -  everyone freezing in time when the see the other characters and how they\'ve aged - a little of that goes a long way, and some of the makeup used to age the actors is not the best. It wasn\'t really necessasary, I suppose, except to show that the main character needed to overcome the loss of the love of his life to have a happy future, I guess. It made me more than a little sad to realize this joyous, alive character had led an artistically successful life yet was basically unhappy. I\'m not sure I understood the thesis - that he became a successful filmmmaker because of his love of movies, yet  he was not able to gain any emotional insight into his owm life through all the great stories he had seen? I don\'t buy it. Cinema, like great literature expands your emotional life through the stories of others, among a zillion other things. Was the point that movies are basically unrealistic, with their happy endings? What about the gift the the projectionist leaves him? Symbolically will he be able to fit the lost pieces into his own life now that he has found out what happened to his lost love? I guess so.  The original film has aged well, but I\'m still not crazy over it, it\'s way too sentimental and saccherine for my taste. But I know so many people love it and it does really show a love of cinema and how it can transform lives. Even if I am not fond of the film, I respect it.

For my review with screen captures http://207.136.67.23/film/Reviews/rocco.htm#r\n\nLuchino Visconti directed a dour, realistic and entrancing film of the growing pains of the uprooted Parondi family. The window Rosaria Parondi (Katina Paxinou) has come to Milan from the relentlessly toiling farm country and agricultural depression of the south (Lucania), in the hopes of making a better life for her 5 sons. From oldest to youngest; Vincenzo (Spiros Focas), Simone (Renato Salvatoi), Rocco (Alain Delon), Ciro (Max Cartier), and young Luca (Rocco Vidolazzi). Vincenzo was sent ahead to arrange housing, but has procrastinated this duty and fallen in love with Ginetta (Claudia Cardinale) gratefully utilizing her family\'s living quarters, shelter and food. Just as the young lovers celebrate their betrothal Vincenzo\'s family arrivals immediately start the standard clan bickering with Ginetta\'s relatives.\n\n\nRight from the very first scene we can sense the warmth and loyalty of the Parondi family with the surrounding brothers protectively minding Mother Rosaria in an uncluttered train station. Their wide-eyes innocence in their first trek into the bustling big city is endearing and sets the tone for the central emphasis of the film; family ties.\n\nChaptered for each brother, the film holds a gentle authority over the viewer. We see how their life decisions and directions mutually affect each other as their personalities become more defined to us. The large city corrupts their innocence to varying degrees with Rocco\'s contrasted honorable simplicity as the strong link to keep them bonded.\n\n\nAlmost as a rite of passage two brothers eventually become embroiled in a fight over a woman. Although vengefully beaten by unprincipled brother Simone, younger Rocco cannot hold a grudge as he admonishes himself for not \nnoticing the depth of his older sibling\'s feelings for Nadia (Annie Girardot), an opportunistic survivor who learned quite early how to get what she wants from men with her abundantly flirtatious charms. Rocco\'s unselfish self-sacrificing family values continually attempt to keep the Parondi brother\'s together and proves to be the cogent kindred glue.Sexuality, innocence, fraternal anger and loyalty, masculine pride and jealousy, strong family values as well as violence, rape and eventually murder all maintain the theme of sorrow and unattainable happiness for the tragic family unit.\n\n\nThe acting, extroverted in most certain Italian explosive mannerisms, still holds its realism. The 1991 print restoration makes this a treasure to view with black and white sharpness and clarity of environment and skin tones. The almost 3 hours of story are balanced and pass by effortlessly.  This is a film that will stay with you as you reflect upon its charms and social values regardless of there occasional harsh nature. I suggest watching with a glass or two of Amarone (also known as a super Valpolicella) or even Chianti. Some pasta with light sauce wouldn\'t hurt either. Immersing yourself in old world charm is easy done and seemingly appropriate for this \nviewing. I give it 4.5/5 .\n\n\nDVD\nThe Image Entertainment DVD is quite nice. No extras to speak of, but a perfectly clear non-anamorphic image with mixed volume sound. I did notice adjusting the volume up and down a number of times. It has the ability to remove the English sub-titles and there are 20 accessible chapters. I rate it 4 out of 5 as a commentary , trailers or documentary would have been greatly appreciated.\n\nCiao,\nGary','3d5c6c349bf3f6bad561a46d9e9355a3',0,'','3S1tNKzH',1,0,'',0,0,0),(1370,359,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1026729564,1,0,1,1,1,1,'madnero','Venus Beauty Institute','I saw this last night on Sundance and found it very entertaining.

I should mention that I felt similarly about such films as \"Battleship Potemkin\", \"Citizen Kane\" and a few other oldies, as well as some recent critically acclaimed films.\n\nIt seems to me that these older works, which may have represented very advanced and original thinking when they were made (although I am not so sure about that), are now quite dated and appear primitive, trivial, and even cliched.  I don\'t think this has anything to do with the B/W or any other technical aspects.  Before you get too upset, this is just my own little perspective, based on my modest experiences in life and film-watching.  I do not claim to be a film expert or even a buff by any means.  I consider myself a fan of good films, be they foreign, indie, or even, God forbid, Hollywood :).  The question is, what is \"good\"?  I will not attempt to answer this bottomless question here, but I would like to discuss this further with anyone who thinks they agree, understand or can relate to anything I just said.

From its opening with someone taking flight (even if momentarily) it\'s a film about Faith, the key theme in Tarkovsky\'s work; the trials experienced by Rublev amid all the atrocities of the period, leading to his self-imposed silence, and then the restoration of his speech in acknowledgment of the bell-ringer\'s simple faith.\n\n Some of the set pieces are astounding. The feel for seasons and weather is virtually unsurpassed (even the rain seems Tarkovskian! Whenever it rained for weeks afterwards i kept thinking of the film. He had such a way with making the mundane seem extraordinary), the colour finale is great, and the last scene of horses swishing their tails in the meadow i often recall when i see horses in the lovely fields here. A wonderful sense of freedom. That he made the film at such a young age is even more remarkable.\n\nMirror is possibly its equal(!), Stalker is another masterpiece, Ivan\'s Childhood a superb and accessible debut feature, The Sacrifice is majestic, and Nostalgia and Solaris aren\'t bad either. No wonder Bergman considered him the greatest.\n\nStill, everything is a matter of taste, and i certainly don\'t expect its pace and length to be for everyone.\n\nI\'m grateful for this thread; it\'s been a pleasure just thinking about Andrei Rublev and Tarkovsky.','45913a2505f9427d0ebb653043617478',0,'','0uDBtprz',1,0,'',0,0,0),(1483,381,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1032334020,1,0,1,1,1,1,'gratefultiger','Re: Andrei Rublev','you are spot john,why can\'t people see this film for the masterpiece it is? a remarkable film of faith,history,philosophy & brilliant images that opens the soul to a feeling of knowledge of man\'s trials,an understanding that we must follow our hearts & minds to achieve true greatness & peace.tarkovsky a master!faith & self belief is the key.','1f8ea336572d219aaaff10c900252aee',0,'','Dbi1U0YA',1,0,'',0,0,0),(1484,381,3,1,0,'69.120.114.47',1033638680,1,0,1,1,1,1,'bigpoppa_2059','Re: Andrei Rublev','Greatest film ever?
