Fucking ass. I am so jealous.

Enter the void looks positively delicious. Still can't wait to see Antichrist.

Did you see the new Todd Solondz? How about "Mother"? I also am looking forward to "Dogtooth."

>> ^Eklek:
Cannes had some heavy entries this year and Antichrist/Enter the Void are probably worthwhile to watch..Haneke's film doesn't look like fun indeed - saw the trailer - but knowing his reputation..
The most recent Cormac McCarthy film The Road is hopefully (almost) as good as No Country for Old Men..but the new Coen bros film, A serious man, I don't know..
Korine will be good I guess, hope they'll release the Korine film, his last film was not.
Herzog with 2 films coming out..good stuff..
And a new Todd Solondz, black humour:)
Avatar will be an interesting moment in cinema history..
And indeed 2010 with Burton's Alice; Nolan's scifi..
and King Shot (produced by Lynch)
>> ^blankfist:
Dunston Checks In

Indeed something to look backward to..and think, why? Any flicks you're looking forward to blankie?
And Sarzy, you'll do a report from the festival on your blog? Wish I could be there..


I really do want to see Antichrist. Farhad, where is the torrent? I cant find it.

I am really curious about the road, also. Hopefully it will be better than the trailer makes it look. I loved the book. I seriously doubt that it will be on the level of no country.

I also really want to see my son, my son, the newest from herzog, presented by lynch.


Also, the new hirokazu kore-eda, still walking, looks very promising.

Todd Solondz rocks like a cockfight.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001754/

This scene exemplifies what was so great about 70s cinema.

The two musicians play together for a while, with Ronnie Cox bragging "Come on, I'm with ya!" until he says, "I'm lost." You sure are. Their duet is dripping with symbolism.

Note also the big difference in elevation of the two characters: the hillbilly is seated a good 6 feet higher, indicative of his natural advantage. Later, on the river, the men float under a rope bridge on which stands the same hillbilly looking down on them as they drift away.

There are a handful of directors today that can compose shots in this way: shots that visually support the theme without resorting to expositional dialog (Wes Anderson, Todd Solondz, P.T. Anderson, David Gordon Green, Spike Jones) but in the 70s, before the "Summer Blockbuster" changed the business, it seemed to be way more pervasive.

**sigh**

Nice elaboration on the use of plastic bags in the arts.
Reminds me of the plastic bag in Sam Mendes's "American Beauty", commented in Todd Solondz's "Storytelling".

The best Solondz film in my opinion. It has nothing but adoration for oppressed children everywhere. Wonderful.
