The titles alone attract my attention.
Full Metal Jackoff . . . It has a ring to it, doncha think?

Last Night I watched
They Shoot Horses, Don't They? - A good film, but I found it to be a rather horrible experience. Deeply disturbing film that hit me really hard. To me there seemed to be a rather big anti-capitalist message behind the whole thing. Don't see anyone else mentioning it anywhere, but that's what I got from it pretty strongly. Not sure if that was the director, or the author's original intent. Not in a hurry to watch this one again, but 5 stars none the less.
Ashik Kerib - Sergei Parajanov doesn't disappoint, this film is easily one of the most beautiful films I've ever watched. Truly fantastic visuals from start to finish. This made me really want to read a book on him and his style of film making, but unfortunately none are available in the US. There's supposedly a really good one in France, so I can only hope it will be translated sometime. 5 stars.

Parajanov's Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1964) is also very interesting.

Strongly agree. Very different style of cinematography from his later films, but still really unique and well executed.

Until more stuff gets translated from the French, there's the book of film treatments called Seven Visions by Parajanov himself.

Yeah, I saw that on amazon, seems pretty interesting. Didn't originally want to order it, but it's a lot cheaper on the site you linked to. May be interesting to try and get a feel for his thought process and how he describes his films.

That is the U.S. publisher, direct. If you like Bresson, take a look at the book they have called Notes on the Cinematographer. They're like zen koans for filmmakers.

Is that automatically bad? Maybe the director/writer is/are some of them "cool communists"?
