Went to see Be Kind, Rewind on Saturday. It's not very good.

I was going to goo and see it, a very funny idea - could be great, but the fact that it's Michael Gondry puts me off; cause I think his films are overrated shite.

 

[Yurn!]

meh. it's nothing really.

 

[snakybus]

"Michael Clayton" - quite good

Tarkovsky's "The Sacrifice" at the IFI yesterday. Couldn't do anything after cos life is shit and anyway we're all doomed.

Really brilliant film though-especially the opening half an hour. There was someting so serene and yet, unnerving about the bend of the grass by the wind.
I haven't watched it in a few years but I'm remember being deeply affected by it for a long time afterwards.
You can really sense Tarkovsky's anger at the world in it.

Love Streams hasn't had a proper DVD release! Only an out of print one in France....damn, such a great movie.

I saw No Country For Old Men today. I'm not really a Coens devotee (despite it not being what I'd consider to be a typical Coens film), it was alright.

Chigurgh is an idea of morality. Chigurgh is not meant to be a character in the *conventional* sense. He's an object of drama, a symbol. He doesn't change. Again, I reckon this is symbolic. In a fillum which can seem to be deliberately ambiguous, it's still clear that Chigurgh has a sort of moral code and that of all the characters in the film, his code is the most unflappable. Philosophically speaking, Chigurgh is the most perfect example of a moral code. He does at the end what he promises to do at the beginning. In certain terms, he is the most honest individual in the film.
What's hard to stomach here is that the honesty comes with so much darkness. In essence, if this is morality with honesty, then pure morality is too dark for normal people.

You want to reconsider?

That guy was cool, he had a funny haircut. But no one said, "You know, for kids."

Nothing major really covered that hadn't been seen in Louis Theroux's documentary but was rather good.

 

[Gabbo]

About to tuck into The Castle. Laser just got it in on DVD. Saw some of it at ATP two years ago and I nearly split a log.

 

[Yurn!]

fucking shit.

For the second time, it's still an incredible film.

I completely disagree with you on almost all of this. I enjoyed the film and felt it warrants repeated viewing. I don't think he set out to make the mother a "baddy" in this, as opposed to the Father in Squid and the Whale. That's just too simplistic and the film to me is more complex than that. She's an unlikeable character, but not a "bad" person as such. Her tragedy perhaps (if she has one) is being so self-absorbed that she can't see how unlikeable she is. Certainly some things didn't work (i.e. Jack's running away) but it did bring some light relief.

Watched Margot last night, finally.
Liked it a lot.
Very enjoyable, unlikeable characters.

Jack running away was a bit Benny Hill alright, but he was at a bit of a low ebb after tearfully confessing (but not underselling!) his big sin.
Ciaran Hinds is getting plenty of work, I see.

watched this last night:

absolute horseshit. every single scene is "dealing with racism". the acting is as sludge as the role call would suggest (fraser, bullock etc.) in the first half hour every single scene contains the word black. most dialogue is characters reminding people what colour they are. ludacris is the most annoying character in a film ever. can't believe this took best film oscar a few years ago. and the final scene with the girl and her father.........fucking ridiculous.
