Flickering Lights

Also:
These Icelandic movies:
Cold Fever (sadly this one is really hard to find)
Investigations into the Invisible World http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0308224/
In the Shoes of the Dragon


This one's Norwegian:
Kitchen Stories

French:
Le Placard (The Closet) -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0243493/ Gay issues, but no gay sex to my recollection, a very witty French comedy.

American independents:
The Mudge Boy -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0339419/ You will never be the same after watching this movie. One rape scene, not explicit.

All Over The Guy -- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0250202/ Sweet romantic comedy that juxtaposes a straight couple and a gay couple. No sex that I recall.

Big Eden http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212815/

By all rights, I should have hated this movie, because I don't like overly sweet, predictable romances.

But I really liked it a lot. A whole lot. I kind of just let myself enter into the alternate world of the movie and let it take me to a happier place.

In response to Reply # 13


  

          

Her next project was Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself, which she cowrote with Anders Jensen, who then wrote & directed Green Butchers, Adam's Apples, and Flickering Lights. So they all have in common the kind of funny take on sad events, or bittersweetness that takes a movie from being merely a distraction to being something meaningful and worth reflecting on.

In response to Reply # 21


  

          

are in a different genre.

The ones I listed above are in the bittersweet story genre -- sad and funny at the same time.

The four in the post title are just really intense and have little or no comic moments. That doesn't make them worse, really, and in fact there are often things I like better about them, but for pure viewing satisfaction, I like movies that have a little of both.

I will say that my first response to Reconstruction was that I was FINALLY seeing a movie made on dv that *should* be made on dv. The use of the medium was remarkable, I thought.

i just didnt think flickering lights was all that funny. i was thinking maybe the danish should stick to those crazy intense emotional dramas.

so they're sad as well as funny.

The first scene in Flickering Lights pretty much had me choking with laughter.

Nikolaj and Mads each doing their respective slightly retarded eccentric thing. Nikolaj eating, which of course is a theme, and Mads going over the top. The bit where Arne is beating up the truck driver just killed me.

In no special order:

To Have And Have Not - Howard Hawks
Some Came Running - Vincente Minnelli
Vertigo - Alfred Hitchcock
The Naked Spur - Anthony Mann
Accattone - Pier Paolo Pasolini
Le Trou - Jacques Becker
Il Posto - Ermanno Olmi
The Leopard - Luchino Visconti
Citizen Kane - Orson Welles
Fox And His Friends - Rainer Werner Fassbinder
The River - Jean Renoir
Germany Year Zero - Roberto Rossellini
Ugetsu - Kenji Mizoguchi
Celine And Julie Go Boating - Jacques Rivette
8 1/2 - Federico Fellini
The Searchers - John Ford
The General - Buster Keaton & Clyde Bruckman
You Only Live Once - Fritz Lang
Spirit Of The Beehive - Victor Erice
Gun Fury - Joseph H. Lewis

I tried to limit it to just one movie per director. Otherwise it could've been all Hawks and Fassbinder movies. But what's the fun in that? Also, I left off Charlie Chaplin and Robert Bresson because I couldn't even begin to figure out which of their movies I liked best.

That should read "Gun Crazy" by Joseph H. Lewis.

I confused it with the title of Raoul Walsh's "Gun Fury". . . which is not a bad picture either by the way.

3c - Godfather Part 2 (Coppola)

interchangeable:

Simple Men (Hartley)
Annie Hall (Allen)
My Night at Maud's (Rohmer)
L'Eclisse (Antonioni)
Goodfellas (Scorsese)
Late Spring (Ozu, but I love all Ozu)
M. Hulot's Holiday (Tati, but I love all Tati)
Army of Shadows (Melville, but I love all Melville)
Celine and Julie Go Boating (Rivette)

Other stuff that I think people should watch (just off the top):

One From the Heart (Coppola)
Hypothesis of the Stolen Painting (Ruiz)
Happy Together (Wong)
General (Keaton; Bruckman)
Spirit of the Beehive (Erice)
Never Weaken (Newmeyer)

The humor and change in tones in the film are difficult to pull off. A stellar police procedural.

I'm looking forward to Mother.

>Haven't heard of this what is it about?

From TIFF's synopsis / notes:

Following the smash success of his 2006 film THE HOST, Korean sensation Bong Joon-ho returns with a stylish thriller that is both detective story and psychological horror. Pushing past the bounds of conventional film noir, Bong refines his talent for popular entertainment in MOTHER and crafts a new grammar of imagery to depict his disturbing yet always thought-provoking ideas.
