Lawless....hey, a shitty la beef film i enjoyed!! oldman a bit underused but well worth the wait.

A Night In The Woods. tisn't TBWP you know, and if I say it's more akin to a Bergman film, thatll give people the wrong impression, but it's definitely more "grittish" in tone imo.....

I tape alsort of rubbish of horror channel if never heard of the film,
But end up deleting half before the adverts because some of the films are really bad and not even watchable or very badly made or acted,

The blockbusters limited edition has a £5 gift card in it, the sainsbur's one has an extra disc. Worth shopping around with hunger games.

A Short Film About Love (1988)

Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski's masterpiece is based on a piece from his celebrated Dekalog cycle of shorts.

It follows a young man who falls in love with an older woman he spys on in the same Warsaw apartment block. Seeing a succession of lovers she brings back with her. When she becomes aware of him she confronts him with a sexual invitation.

The film explores the themes of love and voyeurism that despite the cold Polish settings displays a warmth and erotic air that other films strive for. The film is romantic but its a different sort of romance, the viewer is desperate for the young man to meet the woman and then fall in love. When the almost inevitable happens the film takes a sinister turn as the lad can't cope with the womans promiscuity and the likelihood that to her it is just sex rather than fulfilling a yearning.

For the most part A Short Film About Love is a study of desperate love that inevitably leads to heartbreak. Its a brilliant piece of film making, both poignant and tender, and beautifully acted.

A film i regularly go back to.

I've just watched Argento's OPERA, as I watched(in Italian) I began to notice the actors seemed to be speaking English, so I reset the audio to English and... yep, the film seems to have been shot with an English script. I looked online but nothing found, I know that post dubbed films have the actors speak lines as they like as a guide, but even Daria seems to be speaking lines in English, am I mad or are they speaking English?

I've seen it with both language tracks and the English one always seems more 'natural', fitting the actors' mouth movements more accurately.
