another brilliant film i saw yesterday...claire denis is really a wonderful director - i still need to see chocolate (i bet it's great too).
it starts great with that shot of paris, the setting sun...great photography
the movie is all about two strangers (a man and a woman), who spend a passionate noght together. there's very little dialogue...it's more about camera catching those emotional moments...
(btw i ordered dvd which should be here on monday a while ago, but it wasn't released untill now - and i saw the other day that this film was playing in one of teathres here so ofcourse i went hehe)
anyone else seen it?

i meant the colors of the pictures you posted..
anyway the film i saw was
'Los Sin Nombres' directed by Jaume Balagueró ('the Nameless' in english)
it had some excellence in it but as a whole it was a bit lame... the best things were in some of the images, camerawork and cutting. the story didn't work very well... or it just gets watered down very quickly. it could've been much better..

yes, i thought that. all claire denis films are wonderful when it comec to visuals (camra, photography, colors...)
but i like spanish films a lot so i tought i'd give this one a try as well. i just checked on imdb, and it was rated pretty poor, so i might skip this one...
i watch another spanish film today, los amantes del circulo polar . nacmat recomended it and it was really nice. btw, part of it was filmed in finland

yes i'm not really encouraging you to see it... was just thinking of what i saw tonight. it had it's moments anyway..
but one film i saw a week ago... i could recommend, can't be sure if you'd like it though.. you seen it?
Lars von Trier's 'Dogville'..
the third von Trier movie i've seen (this+ dancer in the dark, breaking the waves).. all have much in common but still so very different... this one getting too much focus in the media for it's 'theatrical' setting - almost no props, everything takes place in a stage-like place... but the story and idea is much more important.

have you seen any other claire denis films?
im a big fan since i saw her first film...just a hint, maybe you would appreciate this one way more if you'd know her previous films - just so you get some idea what she's interested in, cuz this one is quite minimalistic...it's a nice film for everyone but im pretty sure those people who know her previous films appreciate this one much more - it is just a simple story, nothing that would make you wonder, it's just human feelings and beauty...

I have actually not seen any of her films. I've seen some of "Der Himmel über Berlin", but that's it. I like movies about feelings...
Thanks for the tip. I hope this movie will be played in theatres in Sweden.

i haven't seen that one...actually im not that big wim wenders fan, he's alright but nothing to exceptional :)
if i can get it, i'll check it tho!
yeah, it's much better to be seen in theatre, it's pretty new, so im sure they'll play it somewhere, most likely some art cinema...i don't know why they don't show this kind of films in commercial theatres here, maybe people just aren't up to it...maybe it's even better this way
