Memories of Murder Another highly touted South Korean flick, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's a dark crime-thriller which has some surprisingly funny moments. 'Based' an true events, though we know that the director/writer would have taken quite a few artistic liberties to go with it. Love the style its done in, ecclectic pace to begin with and it captures a grittier reality that isn't always present in movies. Top soundtrack too. Its not really meant to scare you, but it does keep you captivated. Annoyingly, however, is the way in which the DVD cases are made. I found this the case with all my RIALTO Collection DVDs, but the name on the side of the DVD is the wrong way up. The top of the letters should always be the closest to the side which is adjoined with the front cover of the DVD. Minor thing to complain about of course. |

Speaking of French cinema: It was tolerable (unlike Weekend), but nothing I'd return to. I have Pierrot Le Fou to watch then I'm done with this pretentious dilettante.

Yeah, my housemate picked up the DVD because she'd studied the book for sixth form way back when. Not certain I'd be enticed to reading the book because despite it being apparently wrapped in lesbianism I've tended to find literature on such matters to be mind bogglingly depressing. Might give it a go, I've got The Prince to get through first and then back to trying out Tristram Shandy ... if I don't baulk at that and skip to Plato's Republic.

The first half of Red Cliff. Really enjoying it so far because I am really interested in the era that the movie takes place in. It is soooo long though, had to take a break after the first half, will watch the second half soon and offer an in depth opinion of the film.
