Love Run Lola Run.
My favorites are Amelie and The Double Life of Veronique. And then there are the Truffaut films.

It has that effect on everyone. I still remember when I watched it in biddle-school during the cinema extra class, even the boasters were crying. I've never wanted to see it in its entirey again. Maybe now I should try again.

Yeah, it's not a film I'd like to watch again in a hurry. I have strange feelings about it. On the one hand I want to say its a beautiful film with really beautiful cinematography. At the same time, I think I'd feel rather awkward saying that due to the subject matter. There were some really subtly disturbing moments and there are still questions in my head about it that I'm mulling over.

By the way, Roberto Benigni really reminds me a lot of a French actor I like called Pierre Richard. |

Sister Nightroad- I sat down last night ready to watch 'La Grande Bellezza'. I was a bit peed-off to find the DVD I bought only had German and French subtitles. Merda!
Had to watch Ex Machina instead which I've had sitting around for a while. Sorry Iamnotafraid (I know you recommend it highly), I thought it was pretty good, but it didn't blow me away. I didn't particularly find the ending hard to foresee which left me a bit deflated. Will have to re-order The Great Beauty. |

to blow you away. It kind of simmers. But there are many things going on in that movie. And I think it takes more than one viewing to notice. What I like best are the questions it raises concerning A.I. - without even considering what Nathan thought Caleb really wanted to know. Being a Christian makes me wonder how far man will be allowed to go. Or how far man can go before it becomes sin. It's most fascinating. |

It didn't blow me away in so far as I didn't get to the end and think 'wow, that was a great film, I must watch this again'. It was nominated for a lot of awards and won quite a few of them so my expectations were quite high. I just didn't feel engaged with any of the characters (which is possibly deliberate as far as Caleb and Nathan are concerned), including Ava so at the end I didn't feel myself caring for any of them. ***Spoilers*** The idea 'it' may have been using Caleb was mooted by Nathan so it was always in the back of my mind something along those lines would happen at the end. It's quite a long time since I've watched it but I remember A.I. having a much greater emotional impact on me and that did leave me questioning a lot of things afterwards. Another film I'd suggest is 'Her' starring Joaquin Pheonix. |

because he (there's one of those pronouns we use for their type, which is a thread just waiting to be started) was a child. Her I really came around to liking that movie. It's funny, fifteen or so years ago it wouldn't have worked for me. But after witnessing people walking around with the love of their lives - the cell phone. I can believe it. And I liked the ending. I just wish I hadn't found out who's voice they used for Her. I didn't want to know before I watched it. I'm not one of those who walks around with their cell phones. I hate them except for emergencies. I am the last hold out. |

Goodnight Mommy. And despite the "totally terrifying" tagline, it wasn't. But it was very, very good.
