Yeah, I'm surprised too. It came out last week, there were lots of people at the screening (and apparently at each screening!). The film went at Cannes though. It's a very personal film as it's based...

Saw the last Jodorovsky's film, The Dance of Reality, at the cinema last week - so far one of the best films I saw this year.

Well, I voted nay, because compared to his old movies, it's rather disppointed and lacks of freshness, you know something that used to sparkle in his old movies... Then I still gave a mixed rating as...

So far, and only from films released this year here and seen at the cinema (but there are a few coming out quite soon I'm looking forward to) :

1. The Great Beauty (Paolo Sorrentino)
2. Camille...

I loved this exhibition (by Felice Varini):

I would like to mention The Damned by L. Visconti, Moloch by A. Sokurov, and also Le Vieux Fusil (Vengeance one by one) by Robert Enrico.

And well in a much lighter tone, there are some 50s and...

Well can I play ?
It was hard to choose...

Garage Olimpo (Marco Bechis)
The Big Durian (Amir...

My mother in law starts by cutting half of the half of the prize. The talks can last sometimes even half and hour, without being sure to buy it at the end.

well Mandarin isn't easy, I can understand and read a bit but to speak it's still difficult for me. When I go to my family's husband to Hangzhou, they speak the local language, or Shanghai language...

I disagree when you say there is after 1949 a certain drop in the quality of Chinese cinema, there are some, even a fair amount, it's more during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) that there is a...

ahhh! I said I was pleased to hear about a new Rithy Panh film. And it is his film, The Missing Picture, that received the Prize of Certain Regard !
For those who haven't seen his films, I highly...

Some of the films in competition got released here, so far I saw The Past (for me a disappointment, seriously The Past is no way A Separation, and it lost a lot I found, really not as powerful for...

I saw Only God Forgives, it came out at the cinema today. Well, surely many people will like it (sophisticated violence, pretty women, nice shots), personally, I found the story too thin and the...

Last night we ate some grilled/barbecued sardines (so good)

As for Lina Wertmüller, her 70s films (I don't know about her later films), it's quite grotesque, exuberant, very talkative, tragi-comedy, and I guess it may not for everyone's tastes, I love the...

I will. I saw some of his other films years ago (and saw Faust last year), but with A Humble Life and Mother and Son, one a documentary and the other one a fiction, there are some similarities,...

I wouldn't have thought of mixing avocado & unpealed banana together. May try it.

Other films I've recently watched and loved : A Humble Life and Mother and Son, both by Alexander Sokurov.

cool !
"The ones who don't enjoy themselves even when they laugh. Oh, yeah...." :)

I saw them because they were screened at the cinema, and it was the first time I saw her films, it was a...

ah ok.
well vikings weren't actually people like in Little House on the Prairie...

Has any of you seen any Lina Wertmüller's films ? She's an Italian director, she started as an assistant-director for 8 1/2 by Fellini. I've recently seen 3 of her 70s films (Seven Beauties, Love...

Last night I went with some friends to an outdoor free punk concert. The average age was 40 and perhaps even over. :/
Soon, we thought that if it carries on like this, in our old days, we'll still...

Le Passé by by Asghar Farhadi will be released here on May the 15th!
I'm pretty pleased to see there is a new Rithy Panh movie!

I usually don't watch TV series (apart every now and then Doctor Who), it's even probably the first time that I watched the all the episodes so far, and just watched episode 7 last night.
