I was the same with City of Life and Death, which was another superbly done war movie but a one time only viewing. The scene in the church (and pretty much the whole movie tbh) is ridiculously hard hitting. Spoiler There is a scene where a woman walks through a crowd of German soldiers with blood pouring down her legs which always comes back to me.

I never watched the show, but I always found this trailer for the third generation of Skins quite striking. And not just because it initially features a few young women wearing nothing. Something about the kids falling into the void, Bill & Ted style, to the crescendo of that Arcade Fire song. Don’t know, think it works really well. It is striking. Will look for the show. I'd be more persuaded if it wasn't just pretty people. Where's the obese kid with bad acne who's creating weird art in bedroom? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, very rough going at times. Filmmaker seemed very influenced by Malick and also Francis Ford Coppola. The scenes with the stork and the boy when and girl in the forest alone really stuck with me. Haunting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 The Mosfilm channel on Youtube has lots of classic Russian cinema in full. Whether you want to give them any money is another matter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the coolest movie posters, too. I've seen it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have I never heard of this? It was Richard Kelly's follow on movie from the superb Donnie Darko. Unfortunately, it was a total bloated mess (tonally and from a story pov), so completely bombed critically and financially and has been all but forgotten. A shame really as he (Kelly) showed so much promise with DD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
