Chaos reigns! Charlotte Gainsbourg has a great sense of absurdity. The setting looks great!

A good friend of mine called yesterday to tell me that he had JUST sold a set of noise cancelling headphones to Nick Cave in Minneapolis Airport. He paid with a credit card and they require a photo ID, so he showed a passport. He said that he was trying to put in a good word for me, but decided against it, which is a good move. Nick Cave does not seem to like conversation with fans, and that would not have gone well....

I just finished watching "Crazy Hearts" with Jeff Bridges. The soundtrack is very nice.
The Weary Kind, by Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett.

the music from the movie is great. the movie itself is very good until the disappointing ending. Jeff Bridges is one of the the best actors working. I am now only talking in short declarative sentences. live with it. or not. your call.
time for bed.
heh.

Good night Nova Scotia!
Yeah, I agree. Jeff Bridges is a great actor. I could see him playing a great Bukowski!

The Cruelty of Loveless Love
Stavrogin, three of my ex's were obsessed with Amelie, and when I say obsessed, I mean absurdly obsessed. I'm sure you could pick up the ladies if you shared this secret of yours with the female sex.
It's no secret. I'm pretty sure at least one of those ex's was telling you something you wasn't (bad grammer?) listening to hear. When it comes to relationships women are most likely the wiser. Trust me when I tell you there's at least one of the three you need to revisit. But choose wisely - the other two will have you shoving a gun to your upper palate.

I just watched The Antichrist.
The opening scene had a Mapplethorpe bluntness, and the end something of Bruegel, when all these women come out of the woods.
I am also not sure if the agglomeration of symbols was needed,
but the cinematography was exquisite.

Some cineast explained to me that you must never forget that Antichrist was dedicated to Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky and that you can't understand it completely without knowing that.
I haven't seen anything by Tarkovsky, not even Solaris, so I'll probably not unterstand Antichrist completely.

I saw this movie last week. Charlotte Gainsbourg certainly does not shy away from controversial subjects. I am not sure how Netflix got away with showing this with the graphic penetration and way too much of William Dafoes erect penis. You don;t have to wait long. At about 1 minute in, you get to see full hardcore penetration.
And for those that are Charlotte Gainsbourg fans, you do see a Hustler-style vaginal shot and it is not in a good way.... Really, really fucked up.
Maybe if I was high, but this movie was disturbing and seemed to be shocking for shocking's sake, if that makes sense.

p.s. Just in case anyone out there wants to be titillated. The sex is disturbing. Not good disturbing even...
p.p.s. I guess I'm saying that this movie is not so good.

Shocking for shocks sake. Makes perfect SINCE. But, eventually, pretty boring.
When I read Cannes booed Trier and reckoned he'd gone too far and was persona non grata I had the compulsion to approve of the film even more. It is a flawed film but it depicts a relationship based on carnality - the wheel turns and bodies are broken. You have to understand that Trier is a cynical shit when it comes to relationships.
Yep, pretty boring. I know this is best movie moments... still... Antichrist didn't shock me at all, nor was the story thrilling but the whole movie seemed like a collage from far better (and older) films. The only good scene was the fox saying "Chaos reigns." The rest was very predictable and I got tired of seeing Gainsburg's naked ass.
Now I'll have to search for a best movie scene that you can play Inka soccer with

You'd have to agree, though, that "shock" is relative. Many will find it so no matter how you feel about it. I've seen one film in the past few years that I truly consider shocking and won't mention it here for fear some curious sort will look it up. I didn't find the film boring, just not fully realized. Play Inka soccer with? That's a chick team! You dirty rascal!

Today is birthday from Patrick Dewaere, talentued french actor who commited suicide in 1982 at the age of 35.
So, for the circumstance, a little scene from the cult movie "Les Valseuses" ("the bollocks, but traduced by "Going Places") :

Great scene, great movie and great actor. Sadly, like the great Klaus Kinski, his career isn't representative of is whole acting talent. He played on a lot of B or Z shitty actions movies. He also played in "La donneuse", a pornographic Z-movie directed by the french Jean-Marie Pallardy (infamous specialist of erotics, pornographics or actions cheap movies.)

I saw The Assassination of Richard Nixon last night. Well worth the time see it. Sean Penn, again, is convincing as hell.

Johannes,
this film is part of a trilogy. I have watched these films a few years ago.
The Vengeance Trilogy (Korean: 복수 삼부작) are three films, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002), Oldboy (2003), Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (2005), directed by South Korean film director Park Chan-wook, which dealt with the themes of "revenge, violence and salvation". Originally these three films weren't the official series, but as spiritual successors, two films (Oldboy & Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) followed the film Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.[1][2]
