yes, for all you cinema-buffs out there - this might be interesting. Samuel Beckett, one of the greatest playwrights ever, wrote one film-scenario in his career, a silent film about a man who is being watched. the film, called "Film" was made in 1965 and starred a then 70-year-old Buster Keaton. I have NEVER been able to find this ANYWHERE and now it has popped up as a quicktime movie, available for download from . the quality of the QT movie isn't great, but still great to be able to see this at last. |

for an obsessive-compulsive, this guy has too many pets. ;) it's interesting. i know it's supposed to be repetative, but i didn't like that aspect of it. it got pretty old the fourth time the cat entered. i thought the shots looked fantastic - the animals, the eyes, etc. i loved the world they were in... the decrepit landscape was great. the ending was cool. thanks for the link! |

An early love of Beckett, his rigorous economy of words, robbed me of the enjoyment of any subsequent artist that relied on indulgence, overstating the case, bloated prog-rock mannerisms.. this man was a master, let every single word, every breath matter... |

Excellent, I'd never seen it before... very disturbing in that incomprable Beckett style. Great to see something visual that he was directly involved in putting together... I don't know what's so unsettling about Buster's hat, but I'm feeling a bit fragile after yesterday's excesses and it freaked me out no end. |

people in north america should keep an eye out for this one, as i'm pretty sure it is touring about presently... or, well at least i know for certain that it is coming to Edmonton as part of a mini irish film festival next week... definitely looking forward to seeing it. |
