Racist.

I was getting more of a Tarkovsky vibe than Bergman. Just sayin'.

Anyway, I've seen a couple of his other films. I can't really say I'm a huge fan or even know much of his work. But this one is still sticking with me nicely.

So I should see it then? Because I was thinking I'd just skip it. I've heard bad reviews and good reviews, but mostly just "meh" reviews. TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

Do it.

I've only seen Solaris so I can't say it looks like Tarkovsky. But the opening sequence is pure Bergman and I'm not into watching toddlers fall from buildings so it was pretty much over for me at that pt.

I haven't seen his first two features, but I would definintely recommend Ivan Rublev, Nostalghia and The Sacrifice.

Nostalghia is probably the high point of his style. Tarkovsky was all about cinema as an experience of time and that definitely comes through in The Antichrist. The Sacrifice is all homage to Bergman: he even hired Sven Nykvist for that gig.

saw "enter the void" last night. same director that did "irreversible" (and we all know how fucked that movie is). i enjoyed this movie. nothing too brutal, but just a lot of weird stuff going on there. WATCH THIS!

Oh yeah, I wanted to see that. Added.

I have an update on Suck: It is awesome. And also streaming on Netflix. I put it on in the background while I was painting because I figured it would.....wait for it......"suck," but it is hilarious and I couldn't stop watching. I recommend it highly.

Just watched The Black Death. It's playing on demand, right now.

It is appropriately bleak.

Is this the flick with the Lord of the Rings dude? Any good? The trailer makes it look gay as hell. And then there's the CENTURION trailer on the right which makes me wonder when H'wood will tire of remaking GLADIATOR...

Yeah -- Sean Bean plays a part in it, but he isn't really the lead. It dovetailed nicely with those historicall fictions book I was reading.

And, it takes place in 1348. You know, one year before the Black Plague made it to Norway.

Thank you for recommending this. It's great. And it should be required viewing before home-schooling your children.

A word of warning: there are more graphic sex scenes than I normally like to have in a movie that I'm watching on my work PC. That didn't stop me, but you might want to choose your viewing location more wisely than I did. Maybe don't watch it while you're babysitting or Grandma's visiting or whatever.
