Tolstoyed is on the mark... let's all pat ourselves on the back for having such sweet taste in music... as for films: i'm a foreign junky... there are plenty of good american films too but... well it does only represent a fraction of the artistic vision in the field... here are some of my favourite directors: David Cronenberg David Lynch Paul Thomas Anderson Atom Egoyan Stanley Kubrick Alfred Hitchcock Buster Keaton Francis Ford Coppola Martin Scorses David Gordon Green Werner Herzog Friedrich Murnau Andrei Tarkovsky Dziga Vertov Ingmar Bergman Akira Kurosawa Shohei Imamura Alain Resnais Jean-Luc Godard Federico Fellini Carl Dreyer Robert Bresson Jean-Pierre Melville Andrzej Wajda Krczystof Kieslowksi |

you should try a Dutch filmer called .. he's one of our most prolific filmers and pretty great. just released a new film over here which I have yet to see. you should try "Abel", his first film. weird and funny. and, ofcourse, very interesting visuals. very stylized. he had done a LOT of work in the theatre and as a painter before starting as a filmer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll keep my eye out for his films coming through our local film-society... i doubt i'd be able to find much in town otherwise... i think Holland is one of the few larger (and by larger i mean culturally speaking... a country that has been around since before WWII) european countries that i've never seen a film from |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mmyeh should be hard to find, I guess. only his first film (Abel) is available on dvd overhere, sadly.. |

same music i like: Jan Jelinek Fennesz Philip Jeck Snares Leafcutter John Luke Vibert Tim Hecker Jega directors: David Cronenberg David Lynch Paul Thomas Anderson Stanley Kubrick Alfred Hitchcock Francis Ford Coppola Martin Scorses Andrei Tarkovsky Ingmar Bergman Akira Kurosawa Jean-Luc Godard Federico Fellini Krczystof Kieslowksi as you see i only like the famouse ones :) |

cool, an estern dev fan! have you checked out kopernik's debut? i didn't like it at first but it really grew on me. and daedelus and dabrye are great! werner herzog...was that the guy that directed the movie about kaspar hauser? if so, have you seen it? any good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
congrats nice to hear from you +1000 times |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, he directed that film. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you seen it? any good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, I haven't. haven't seen any Herzog as of yet.. oooh such a lot still to see.. both :( and :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw 10 minutes plder, the trumpet recently i think herzog made one episode for that, and it was quite alright |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favourite herzog film is Aguirre... but Kaspar Hauser is pretty decent too... and kopernik is wicked... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and someday i hope to become a book snob too that's hilarrious. |
||||||||
|
