Re: cult films/solaris

I thought Soderbergh's Solaris was very good at sustaining a melancholic mood throughout the entire movie (I actually really liked the score), but feel he is starting to get a big gimmicky. Ever since Erin Brockavich it seems he films exclusively with yellow and metallic blue tints.... The movie is nowhere as good as the original, not even close. >From: ".pavu.com" <jean-philippe.halgand(a)pavu.com> >To: zorn-list(a)mailman.xmission.com >Subject: Re: cult films/svankmajer >Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2003 22:19:43 +0200 > >At 15:40 -0400 4/08/03, ericksna(a)umich.edu wrote: >>.../... > > > >>As far as other cult foreign movies, I've probably too many to think of >>off >>hand, but would start with all of the Tarkovsky films, which are some of >>the >>only ones i've revisited numerous times.

The Egoyan DVDs on Zeitgeist are really nice, especially for the director's commentary. It's clear the he has thought long and hard about what he wants to convey, and is very honest about the relative successes and failures of certain scenes/techniques. I think his best films are Calendar and Speaking Parts (I've seen the latter about 10 times, and it never gets old). Ararat is one of the few essential films from the last few years. A pretty damning critique of Hollywood's treatment of history -- a film about the Armenian genocide can only be accessed through an American/Christian/revenge fantasy filter! Brilliant. I don't see the Maddin/Haynes connection at all. Far From Heavan was really disappointing, and now seems especially redundant given the rerelease of Fassbinder's Ali: Fear Eats the Soul. Is there a more beautiful line than "Think much. Cry much."?
