How about you?

At 7:16pm on December 1, 2008, Doug Floyd said…: My two favorites are Andrei Rublev and Nostalghia. The first one chronicles the life of the 12th century iconographer who painted the one of the greatest icons in Russian history. The second film is about a Russian poet who is seeking for inspiration in Italy.

His films are very slow. But I think some of the imagery and shot composition is so amazing, I could watch it without sound. I would compare his style to poetry on film. Sparse. He called filmmaking the art of "sculpting in time." And for him filmmaking was a spiritual endeavor.

Both of the two films mentioned are visually stunning but also offers layers of meaning for meditation. Kurosawa's Dersu Uzala kind of makes me think of Tarkovsky.

At 6:33pm on December 1, 2008, Doug Floyd said…: Yes, The Double Lives of Veronique fascinating film. I need to watch ti again. I also like Heaven. Do you like Andrei Tarkovsky films? He is not as accessible as Kieslowski but his films touch me deeply.

Not familiar with Wong Kar Wai. I will check him out.

At 5:34pm on December 1, 2008, Shinergirl said…: Hello NewfMom -
Thanks for the welcome. I am really enjoying my Netflix membership and was glad to see a group for Jane Austen fans! As you can see by my photo, I love Pride and Prejudice 2005 version. If only Ms. Jane would have written more, such a loss to us fans. I also enjoy period pieces since I have seen every Jane Austen book adaptation, really enjoying The Tudors right now. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
Shinergirl!

At 4:39pm on December 1, 2008, Doug Floyd said…: Yes it is Kieslowski's film. What a beautiful film! The use of color and sound atop a storyline of love, extending outward from personal pain to European healing. Love it! I also love how all three films interconnect like the Decalogue.

I love all his films .Great director!

At 3:50pm on December 1, 2008, Gunny said…: Will do. I understand how you feel about gore. I too despise gratuitous gore, even in non-horror films. It's just like sex and violence to me; The amount shown should be appropriate to accurately convey the storyline.

At 1:43pm on December 1, 2008, Darlene said…: I do though I really have to be in the right frame of mind for the subtitles. Any suggestions????

At 10:53am on December 1, 2008, John said…: Hmm..... maybe try "Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford". It's definitely more than "good v. bad". Honestly, though, I tend to struggle with Westerns. I love the spaghetti westerns but beyond that, a lot of them are just "meh" to me.

You guessed correctly... I'm a huge Cardinals fan.

At 10:47am on December 1, 2008, tadd said…: No,that one i havev't watched.For american westerns i do like the ones with Jong Wayne in them. I have seen some previews of Japenese type westerns,and i would like to see how well they are made.I hope though,that they are not in the same class as a Godzilla type movie:) That would stink..lol

At 8:35am on December 1, 2008, John said…: Hey, Newfmom. The holiday was great- I hope it was the same for you. I somehow made it to age 32 without having ever seen any John Wayne movies; I spent the weekend rectifying that, watching Rio Bravo, Red River, and The Searchers. I also caught Sansho the Bailiff- a fantastic flick from 1950's Japan.
