Orson Welles is unknown? Virtually everyone has heard of 'Citizen Kane'. If not then 'The Third Man' not to mention 'Transformers:The Movie'.
A 'cult' director would be someone with a very small following and is only appreciated in small circles. Anyone with even just a vague passing in movies have heard of Cronenberg, yet name say Brakhage for example and then we are talking about a cult following. Most movie goers would probably say 'Seven Samurai' for Kurosawa. Anyhow to get back on track: what's the latest film you have seen: http://www.lovefilm.com/lovefilm/ima...8471-large.jpg Obviously dated but some deliciously dark humour and sense of menace. As usual with Hitch**** some brilliant trademark shots. |

Anyway, I watched Murmur of the Heart last night, a Louis Malle film (another cult director :rolleyes:) |

Beautiful to look at and despite the languid place (and my general distaste for plummy English accents), it draws in the strands of each four sections for a touching conclusion. The beach tracking shot is a tour de force. Excellent. |
Happiness of the Katakuris
http://godlove.files.wordpress.com/2..._katakuris.jpg Uhm, it's a musical by Takashi Miike. Do I really need to say more? Speaking of musicals, I watched Dancer in the Dark two nights ago and that was amazing as well (and stars Bjork). Speaking of Bjork, I've decided that I'm going to start using her name as a colloquialism for throwing up. Pass it along. |
"I drank too much and bjorked."
Could work. |

Classic. Although I don't think I will dig out the DVD too many times. Nice Ragtime soundtrack. |

Must have seen this film about fifteen times and I never tire of it. I think that it is imaginative and uses lots of great filming devices and ideas. The director has'nt done anything since but he has a film in pre production so I will have to check that out. |

Much better than I was expecting and although the film shifted it's focus away from the main character in the last third it is still good solid British cinema. In your face, violent, foul mouthed and a great soundtrack. A very worthy 2 hours of my time. |
A better film than the Essex Boys.
Speaking of which and all things related...Range Rover murders. WARNING! Don't browse the crime scene photos if you have a weak stomach. |
