Have seen harvey and like the sound of the Coen Brothers. A review of recent releases would help.

The Butterfly Effect

I guess I was wrong, not always overlooked.

I really enjoyed it.

city of lost children (from the people who did delicatessen) - weirder, fairytale darkness

city of god - for the shirts mainly

weekend - french arty nonsense

il postino - genius

lagaan - indian film where the british lose

Safe - directed by todd haynes

 

[Ryazan]

Leon

Strickland to Mathilda's father asking him for the drugs he was supposed to be keeping safe.

"I luuuurrrrve Mozart".

You're a Beethoven fan aren't you"

"His symphonies get...the juices flowing"

"But, after a while, he does tend to get a little fucking boring"

Subway is another good Luc Besson film, only the un-dubbed version.

Christophe Lambert is lovely in it.

Jesus Christ! Just got flashback of Highlander!

 

[Dr. Furface]

I never liked Sin City but it seems I'm the only one.

No you ain't - I hated it.

3 colours: red, white and blue (trilogy) by Krzysztof Kieslowski .. stunning

a short film about killing by the same chap

all hitchcock?

 

[Good Intentions]

city of lost children (from the people who did delicatessen) - weirder, fairytale darkness

Apparently it was supposed to be a children's story. It has the marks of it, though the same rumour says the children were shit-scared by it (as they should be). Complete and utter class.

city of god

- for the shirts mainly

What an awe-inspiring film.

Nikita.

the original luc besson version yeah?

she's brilliant, semi-psychotic, my kinda lady lol.

jean renno as viktor the cleaner is fucking scary... a prelude to Leon, that scene of the bath and the acid .... urgh

Ooohhhh... this is my first post... I've come across all a quiver.

Anyway... if you can stomach it watch Irreversible. A quality flick if ever there was one. But also one of the most difficult to watch.
