The act of seeing with one's own eyes. Saturday, July 29, 2006. The spirit of the beehive. The Spirit of the Beehive. D Victor Erice, 1973. I've never seen a film quite like. The Spirit of the Beehive. The vaguest hints at plot revolve around Ana's attempts to find the spirit. This movie, however, is more interested at quietly observing this rather odd family structure. The Spirit of the Beehive. Friday, July 28, 2006. D Jean-Luc Godard, 1963. One of Jean-Luc Godard's best works. D Terrence Malick, 1973.

the act of seeing with one's own eyes: October 2006

The act of seeing with one's own eyes. Sunday, October 29, 2006. D Sofia Coppola, 2006. As good as I was expecting it to be. Sofia Coppola's latest feature, does a good job in updating the historical drama, a genre that has not produced many good films in recent years. With the possible exception of The New World. 2005) and Far From Heaven. 2002), I can't think of another recent period piece that's as well observed; you'd have to go back to Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. Saturday, October 28, 2006. 2005), the f...

The act of seeing with one's own eyes. Sunday, December 31, 2006. D Luis Buñuel, 1930. I won't even pretend. To have a handle on Luis Buñuel's second film, 1930's L'Age d'Or. On just one viewing ( Mulholland Drive. But it's certainly a fascinating piece of cinema. From the documentary-style opening sequences to the shocking imagery throughout, Buñuel never disappoints. J. Hoberman rightly points out in his review. Is not as visceral as Buñuel's debut, Un chien andalou. To think too much about this one.

the act of seeing with one's own eyes: odin's shield maiden
http://ostrichville.blogspot.com/2007/04/odins-shield-maiden.html
The act of seeing with one's own eyes. Monday, April 09, 2007. D Guy Maddin, 2007. Around to watching any of Maddin's feature films, but his shorts continue to astound me. His latest, a 5-minute experiment titled Odin's Shield Maiden. 2001)- or even My Dad is 100 Years Old. 2005)- but wonderful to watch, anyway. View my complete profile.

the act of seeing with one's own eyes: dirty
http://ostrichville.blogspot.com/2007/04/dirty.html
The act of seeing with one's own eyes. Monday, April 09, 2007. D Stephen Dwoskin, 1971. Is anything but. In fact, it's closer to the melancholy longing of Chris Marker's La jetee. Than the eroticism of Jean Genet's Un chant d'amour. 1950), though both films have a certain influence over this one. Unlike Genet's film, which is a masterpiece of rhythmic compositions coupled with tribal drums, Dirty. PS Will someone please get me some more of Dwoskin's work? View my complete profile. The AV.

The act of seeing with one's own eyes. Thursday, June 29, 2006. D Michelangelo Antonioni, 1964. Is Michelangelo Antonioni's intoxicating. Color feature that's not really about anything. It stars Monica Vitti as more or less a similar character to the ones she played in Antonioni's previous works L'Avventura. Is a brilliantly fascinating portrayal of a disturbed woman. Not that it really matters, however, as Antonioni's intricate mise en scene and Monica Vitti are so charming. Tuesday, June 27, 2006.

The act of seeing with one's own eyes. Wednesday, November 22, 2006. D Jafar Panahi, 2006. This is the first film. By Jafar Panahi that I've seen (I came close to watching Crimson Gold. A while back, but didn't, for whatever reason), but based solely on how great Offside. D Michael Snow, 1967. One of the two Snows I've seen. Is an experience like no other. In its 45 minutes, Snow manages to do what took Kubrick millions of dollars to put together the next year- when 2001. Tuesday, November 21, 2006.
