since you know of 'Ichi the Killer' you should check out
"Vistor Q" by the same director, Takashi Miike. if you want
a seriously FUCKED up family drama that goes way, way,
beyond Soldonz, then you have to see this. a sampling of
what to expect - incest, lactation, necrophelia, drug abuse,
urination, paternal abuse. yet the whole thing manages to
be somewhat heart warming when it's all said and done.

on the opposite end of the spectum i thought 'happiness of
the katikuras' by the same director sucked much arse.

I haven't had the chance to see any yet. Ah no I lie, I did
see Arizona dream but I wasn't at all impressed. I'd like to
see underground though. Oh and I saw La veuve de st pierre
in which he acted which was good.

i haven't seen la veuve...yet, i doubt i'll be able to get
it, but i'll try.
underground is excellent, but it's double as excellent if
you can understand serbian, they're just so cool when it
comes to language, probably best film language there
is...honestly :)

not yet, as i haven't received those films yet. after i put
an order they cancelled it cuz appearntly there were lot of
people who didn't pay for their orders, so they had to close
down the site for about a month, however they're now opened
again and i should be getting that order on monday...anyway,
i have so many films that i haven't watched yet, and was
puting the aside, so i finally got a chance to watch them
heh. actually im watching one right now - office space,
nothing much, but it's quite funny at times :)

i haven't seen it
