Dino,
I love Irreversible. Enter the Void is on Netflix streaming, or if you need the physical media, I can highly recommend. If I'm wrong, I owe you a shot.

Couldn’t agree more. It does have a bit of suspense to it and it could have made a good film. Yet it is disappointing and leaves nonetheless as a whole an irrepressible impression of “déjà vu”… The characters seems like a bunch of unrealistic, ridiculous “show off”, like in so many more films.Quote:

Don't quote me on this:
One of my teachers from school told us about a Latin phrase that roughly means cheap trick or stunt. It was coined by some ancient Roman Playrights about one of their own who in their eyes cheapened the art of penning plays, which were the old versions of TV and movies. Seems there was a custom in the Military that said when a General lost a battle and many Roman soldiers died the Commander also had to be executed, even if he behaved honorably. The play featured a scene where the General was being led away leaving his young son crying "where is my Father?
Now of course the audience was greatly moved, some to tears, and the writer of the Play was lauded as a genius, which really pissed off the other guys who took their Playwright real serious.
Now every ten years they survey the top 100 important critics and directors and ask them what they consider to be the greatest hits ever in the medium of film-making. This time Vertigo edged out Citizen Kaine. Most all of the movies chosen were pre-1969, except for Tarantino, whose movies were like all in the seventies. Even Bad News Bears!!! I really liked that movie.

How to Marry A Millionaire - Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Lauren Bacall. A goofy old film but great fun.
Also The Millionairess - Peter Sellers and Sophia Lauren. A goofy film and not so much fun. Loren looks terrific.
This beautiful picture of the Golden Gate bridge, posted by Buttslinger, reminded me of a documentary I watched for a second time not too long ago, entitled “The Bridge”. Incredible and chilling at the same time. It’s not without any complaisance, but still very decently done, and quite respectfully. The director, Eric Steel captured a frightening number of suicides in one of the most dramatic film, in its quiet narrative, that I have ever seen. Not for the faint of heart. As I write these lines, I’m questioning myself as to the propriety of even mentioning it on such a public site. Maybe I shouldn’t. That’s how powerful I feel this is…

God forbid I bring any class to this forum, but curiosity makes me want to see what Directors consider the best film ever made.
Tokyo story (1953 / Full) - YouTube
Well I watched the Godfather Trilogy simply amazing.
Good one, Buttslinger. Here’s the trailer of another great Japanese film, Masaki Kobayashi’s “Seppuku”. Intense!

The Dark Knight Rises
Not sure if there will be a different presentation in the hard copy of Sight and Sound in September, but there is no separate Directors list on the website.Quote:
