Rust and Bone. What a pile of merde.

Ce n'etait pas du tout a mon gout.

Anyone seen Haneke latest "Amour"?


Some reviewers have said it won the Palme D or due to the two actors. And it was a bit light for Haneke.

I totally disagree. For me this is now my favourite film by Haneke. Its a mature work of a master film maker.

Yes along with Cache it is masterly film making. The lady actress is superb. The ending is so simple but enormously effective.

Emmanuelle Riva:

 

[Orang Utan]

oh is that her in hiroshima mon amour?
beautiful dame

 

[Reno]

That's her!

 

[Gramsci]

The Master. Pants.

Hoping Sightseers tonight will be better!

Sightseers. What a bizarre film. If its a comedy its very very dark. I saw it as follow on from the Kill List. Scratch the surface and this country is truly weird.

I felt the audience didnt know quite what to make of it.

I saw Zero Dark Thirty, Kathryn Bigelow's political thriller about the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Stretching from 9/11 to his death, it's a good if at times dry docu drama, mostly focusing on one CIA agent played actress-du-jour, Jessica Chastain. Like The Hurt Locker this isn't really a political film, it's more like a police procedural, mainly following people doing their jobs. Unlike Argo this doesn't have to make up a hokey action climax, the tense raid at the end of this film really did happen. I probably admire this one more than truly loving it, but it's mostly involving and smart. This has a lot of well known character actors in it, butit was a bit odd seeing John Barrowman sharing a scene with James Gandolfini.

Yossi. Israeli, follow-up to a film that came out ten years or so ago (and which I haven't seen). Was okayish but felt more like a tv thing than a film to see in the cinema. (Was a last minute, free ticket thing, probably wouldn't have gone to see it otherwise.)

Saw a review of Django Unchained and I posted about it on the Django Unchained thread.

 

[Gingerman]

Saw Lawrence of Arabia at the BFI yesterday,now there's a film made for watching on the big screen

 

[Orang Utan]

Oop, wrong thread!

I missed it but me mate went and absolutely loved it. She's a massive Shining fan, so enjoyed the (often mad) theories, tho in truth the film is at least as much about people who hold such madcap theories, as it is about the theories themselves.

And Toy Story 3 as well, obviously.

For some demented reason I went to see the film of Les Miserables at a BAFTA screening (which means this is not something I would ever pay extra to watch). The only way I got through it was by recasting everybody with the Muppets in my mind.

Went to the Ritzy yesterday and saw The Hunt - a Danish film about false accusations that was incredibly uncomfortable to watch, but very well done.

Then went back in half an hour later to watch Chasing Ice, which had my jaw on the floor from start to finish. Contained some of the most striking real life imagery I've ever seen.

Certainly touched a right-wing American.
