What is The Last Movie You Watched?

[Stavros]

Did you get to see The Turin Horse yet, Stavros?

No, not yet but I am hoping to get my copy along with the three boxes of Angelopoulos in time to watch them over the Easter weekend although I think Angelopoulos is the priority. For some reason I seem to be re-tracing the years -I haven't seen The Travelling Players complete now for 30 years or so, and recently watched Jansco's Red Psalm -again a film I hadn't seen since Goerge Hoellering put it on at the Academy in Oxford St along with all those other brilliant Eastern European films, as they seemed at the time -can't fault Jancso's style, but the content is a bit dated.

You might like to know that Krasznahorkai's book Satantango, translated by George Szirtes is published next month; and that a phrase from the novel War and War seems to describe Tarr's films aptly: reality examined to the point of madness.

Satantango has been published in the US, here is a review:

An impressive article on Krasznahorkai that compares him to Beckett and Thomas Bernhard (whose work I detest) is here:

And on top of that I bought a box of Bergman films I haven't seen in years (Shame, Passion of Anna, Serpent's Egg -have seen Hour of the Wolf recently, its also in the box).

I also watched The Transporter last night, and a one-hour film on Schubert in which Simon Russell Beale looks uncannily like the portraits of the composer Poor film in a way; Transporter is wildly entertaining nonsense.

I was wondering how similar they were too. Don't know much about Hunger Games but I've seen Battle Royale a bunch of times. Kitano always rules.

Special 50 year props for To Kill a Mockingbird. Easily one of the best book adaptations ever made. In the scene below Jem and Truman Capote were having a real life spat with Scout. They pushed her straight into a truck offscreen.
