The Woman In Black

[BellaBellucci]

Margin Call. It's a GREAT movie if you're into business dramas, and it's from Zachary Quinto if you're into sci-fi and that helps you give it a chance.

And no, he doesn't play Sylar... although that would have been spectacular!

Ichi the Killer (Japan/Takashi Miike, 2001)

Don't be fooled by the blood and the gore, this is a profound film, as good as Audition -maybe even better. In Miike's films the Yakuza gang is a substitute for a family, and usually, someone for reasons of spite, revenge, financial greed, does something which destroys the inner cohesion of the gang. In this film, a rival engineers a dispute which breaks up the Anjo gang in Kabuchi-ko, a sleazy quarter in Tokyo, using a psycopath called Ichi who may or may not have been brainwashed into reacting with exceptional violence when witnessing a vulnerable female being abused by a man. This sets the scene, not so much for the violence, as the discourse on men who can only achieve sexual satisfaction through physical abuse, represented by the errant gang member kakihara, and men who beliebve that violence is a form of catharsis for otherwise irresolvable trauma, represented by Ichi.
There are few films that treat sexual deviance with the seriousness that it deserves, this is one of them. As someone once said, Love hurts...Highly recommended.

Dune -David Lynch

This 1984 film has now been re-issued, and it is as daft as it was in 1984. I can't quite work out the symbolism of a film set in a desert on a planet called Dune (aka errakis aka Iraq is) where there is a precious substance called oil -woops, I mean spice- and where the locals are pledged to wage Shihad -or should that be Jihad- against various invaders, if only the one would come to guide them, who, it turns out, is Paul Moabit (no relation to Moab, obviously). I haven't read Frank Herbert's book, but I can't say the film inspires me to do that. As usual, the music, which consists of three notes played ad nauseam, is a burden to a film already burdened by confusing symbols and too many characters.
