...yes On the subject of him, he is amazing. All about my mother = an amazing film. As is Live Flesh (well what i have seen of it) |

Yeah :) i rember watching a documentary on him about the type of stuff he did when Spain go their freedom. Like outlandishly confusing films revolving around fetishes and confusing sexuality. It was great :) |

Well now, I've seen Labyrinth of Passion, Matador, Talk To Her, Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down... his stuff is fun because it's unpredictable. He never does the easy, obvious thing so you don't sit there thinking, great, now I have to sit through this segment so he can get to plot points b), c) and d). |

i've not seen very many almodovar films at all... and i'm really not sure why, cause i think spanish cinema is really cool... then again, i haven't seen much Bunuel either.... which Bunuel films are good starters for him? (i've already seen Chien Andalou, and the Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie) |

bell de jour was nice...but that's probably just cuz i like catherine deneuve - especially in her young age :) |

That Obscure Object of Desire is really great - I think it was his last film. |
||||||||

all those movies are made by a spanish genious (buñuel) but I think the production and working team for the films was more french |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, bunuel's always had french collaborators... i really liked La Caza by Carlos Saura, as well as the Spirit of the Beehive by Victor Erice... i wish it was easier to find spanish films here, but there doesn't seem to be too much for some reason... |

reason: hollywood monopoly |

well yes and no... i don't go to the chain video stores... i use the library and my girlfriend's work (which is the best alternative store in town)... so i can get a hold of a lot of good foreign movies... but because the market for these movies isn't super fantastic... they can only afford to bring in so many at a time... if i do hang around this town, i definitel plan on providing some sort of service to get a hold of as many rare quality films as i can... |

I've always found Almodovar's movies boring. |
||||||||
|

|

if it wasn't coming from you, i'd understand... :) |

i live in a capital city, but it's quite a small town - something like 300.000 people. we have 2 theatres for this sort of films, but they're both pretty empty. not sure why, cos the selection seems to be alright - we also have a 14 days anual festival and it's sold out every year, so it's kind of weird so little people coming to those theatres. i never rent movies so i can't say what kind of stuff do they hold. i always try and get the film i want to see - i don't have enough time for these as it is heh |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah... i can complain about not having access to certain films all i want.. cause i have three films out from the library right now, and another from my girlfriend's work, and i probably won't find the time to watch half of them... |
