|
well, ive been reviewing "old boy" by park chan-wook recently, and i think it has some similarities with lynch film, so probably you would like it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have to see old boy :) |
||||||||
|
|

I AM NOT ALONE!!! |

Dallas: The Bobby Ewing Dream Saga The Machinist was fucking awful. Doesn't compare to Lynch in anyway apart from it's own overstretched pretensions. |

What was that recent one about time travel? Really low budget, set in a garage. Look for that one. |
||||||||
|

"primer" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aw christ, thanks man. I've been trying to remember what it was called for ages. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just a look at the thread titles on the imdb page for that movie shows it'll appeal to a Lynch fan |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not at all. also, it's a little more comical than lynch (very black comedy, though), but i'd also recommend martin scorcese's "after hours." see it with "wild at heart" and "the wizard of oz." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
last but not least, i absolutely recommend "city of lost children," probably more than anything else. unfortunately the english translation on the dvd subtitles leaves a lot to be desired (they are different from the theatrical subtitles, which were better), but they'll have to do. if you like, i will repeat "city of lost children" over and over until you see it, to make sure you don't forget. |
||||||||

|
|
or "delicatessen" instead... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and, if looking for a obvious lynch reference, watch the amazing orson welles film "evil touch". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, "delicatessen" is also very good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
city of lost children - i second that too. preferrably the original, not the remake. Original is called La Cite Des Enfants Perdue. I fell in love with that Miette for a time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Gods, I still haven't seen that. I will asap |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do watch it several times, please. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
remake? do you mean the version with the language dubbed? if so, i do agree that the dubbed version should be avoided. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, there's so much detail... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought there is a remake by americans. maybe i'm wrong. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
L'Intrus by Claire Denis. Of vourse if you manage to find it . |

Interestingly enough, David Lynch was born on this very day in 1946. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think there's a remake. happy birthday, david. |
||||||||
|
|

|

ok. i've been misinformed then. |

a happy note: the world is a better place without a (inevitably inferior) remake of "city of lost children." : ) |

|

hell yeah ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
while we're giving opinions, i'd like to add that "cube" should be avoided at all costs. |

I thought Cube was interesting enough to sit through, even with the horrible acting, but I probably wouldn't watch it again. I suppose you're probably looking for surrealistic movies or movies with a lot of symbolism, or just movies that are presented in an alternative way. Besides those mentioned, here are a few more: Anything by the Brothers Quay is great - especially Institute Benjamenta. Most of their shorts are on DVD now, but there are a few newer films that I have no idea how to see (Piano Tuner of Earthquakes, In Absentia, etc.) Anything by Jan Svankmajer is also great, most notably Alice, Little Otik and Faust. A Zed and Two Noughts by Peter Greenway is pretty good, and the rest of his films probably are too, though I haven't seen them. I also really like the Guy Maddin movies I've seen - The Saddest Music in the World being among the best. Then you could watch Bunuel films. Un Chien Andalou is a classic... also Le Charme discret de la bourgeoisie. Then there is Brazil and other Terry Gilliam movies. Umm... also the movies of Jean Cocteau, Fritz Lang, and Murnau... |

try the Michael Haneke movies too, not exactly the same style, but trully deranged as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haneke is fuckin' great. my favourite, lätt! |
