"The story is simple and fascinating. you can easily see it being remade as a horror film. the plot is there. this woman is driven completly over the edge by frustration and dependancy and just plain hurt. I mean who hasnt left like stabbing someone they love at one point or another? The ending goes a bit weird and confusing, i needed to look up what really happened, but it doesnt spoil anything. "

"Once a month, cultural critic Camille Paglia publishes a lengthy assessment of the current moment in pop culture at Salon.com. This month’s installment went live today, and the meat of it is an Antonioni/Bergman inspired elegy for the art film. The whole piece is, as is the norm for Ms. Paglia, terribly quotable, but the part where she appears to elevate the entire Star Wars series to the status of those late Europeans’ “masterpieces” is probably the most controversial: On the culture front, fabled film directors Ingmar Bergman and Michelangelo Antonioni dying on the same day was certainly a cold douche for my narcissistic generation of the 1960s. We who revered those great artists, we who sat stunned and spellbound before their masterpieces — what have we achieved? Aside from Francis Ford Coppola’s Godfather series, with its deft flashbacks and gritty social realism, is there a single film produced over the past 35 years that is arguably of equal "

"The controlling idea behind Patrice Chereau's Son Frere is the painful, tragic lack of closeness between men. It is mostly Luc's story, how his brother Thomas's disease becomes a watershed for their troubled relationship. An incident that Thomas cannot remember, and we are never shown, has had far reaching consequences that the two might never have confronted, had it not been for Thomas's sickness. The plot is alarmingly simple. Thomas (Bruno Todeschini) comes back into his brother Luc's life because he does not want to face illness and possible mortality by himself. Of all the people in his life, he has sought out his younger brother for solace and comfort. Luc (Eric Caravaca) makes it clear that he will take care of him because this is what brothers do for one another, but he cannot forgive Thomas for deserting him. He'll go through the motions, but his heart won't be in it.It is never quite revealed if Thomas has done something unforgivable and Luc ha ... "

"Again, another movie that I was talked into, not by my husband this time but by my mother. Dear mother is a psychotherapist (which explains a lot about me) and thought that this was good Sunday night fun. Wow... what to say. I did not like the spider scene but that really was so minor I just mention it to warn other who like to know if spiders exist in a film prior to viewing it. The touching of the sheep's eyeball was also a bit unsettling but was obviously ment to be that way. All in all the film was good. Not so much fun while you are watching it but one of those that if you go back and think about it you realize how complex the story was. I have heard this movie called an early Fight Club and I agree but I think Fight Club did it better. For sure this is a movie to watch at night and NOT alone, you have to discuss it or you will not think through everything that you should. The more time that passes from the actual movie viewing the better it seems - does that make any ... "

"Sufficient conditions - a great story. A great story will have great characters. Production values can be nonexsistant, the budget can be small, the images can look shitty, but if the story is great it doesn't matter. I feel like am stepping into a quagmire of my own making on this point. I am always heralding films that lack "great stories." But, many of these films were made with a ton of passion. Films like, 8 1/2 or Persona. Do I think these two films are great because I know what's been said about them over the years, how many awards they've won and who they were made by? "
