I think it was good in being bad, one of those movies you and your buddies can get a laugh at.

Lessons of Darkness - Werner Herzog

9/10

This film is beautifully shot, the combination of the imagery and music is breathtaking, and considering the subject this is a great feat indeed. To use the words of another reviewer, "Herzog has captured the grotesque absurdity of contemporary man and made it beautiful."

I posted this a couple of pages back. Good stuff.

Yeah, I never thought anything could top Hero in regards to epic cinematography, I was wrong. Some shots are just mindbogglingly huge...http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/c...ower/hypno.gif

I remember seeing this movie when it came out, I was 8 or 9 and my parents always insisted on making me watch these what I thought at the time awful foreign movies.

Out of the ridiculous number of foreign movies I saw when I was little, this movie is the one that stuck out as the best and I actually have the dvd in my dvd player right now waiting for me to convince my bf to watch it.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

I tried watching

But it was too random and I was too sleepy, so I'm going to re-watch it today.

A guide to recognizing your saints

Review: Very nice movie. It shows nowadays youth and crime in a brutally but still poetic/romantic style.

Watched it late the other night on Channel 4 as I couldn't sleep and there was nothing else on. Quite a nice idea for a film, a group of writers are sitting around in a restaurant at the beginning of the film discussing whether life is more naturally comic or tragic and when they offer a basic idea for a story it is then played out in two different worlds, one with a comic spin on it the other a tragic.

I did enjoy it but I was quite tired. I'm not too sure how I feel about it though. Usually I would watch it again when I was a little more alert and I could really pay attention but I thought it was rather forgettable, so I'm not sure I'll ever get round to it.

good f*cking film. Ang Lee always comes up with the goods IMO. His english must be really good to turn his hand to any genre and pull it off... or is he Chinese-American?
