Stumbled over this while checking up the not very similiar Hogfather on IMDB.
The holy mountain 1973: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071615/
Probably deserves it's own thread, the most remarkable film ive seen in ages.

Yeah it's amazing. Like you say one you can watch many times. Really strong performances and a good atmosphere throughout. Also recommend Primer.
Watched 'I Stand Alone' last night, French thriller by the same guy who did 'Irreversable', and it's no less fucked up. Tense as fuck, reminds me of Herzog in some of the ways it's done, but very original too. Builds up consistently and the main character is a nutter. Can't beleive I hadn't heard of it before. Difficult to recommend it to people though, some of the stuff is too fucked up! See it if you like bold cinema.

i am fond of LLV. saw that in a theater and a few times on the smaller screen. good stuff. what happened to nick cage? i reckon that was his last good flick.
as far as alcohol flicks go, Harvey and Barfly stand out in my mind.

I regard Gaspar Noé as the greatest filmmaker alive. What distinguishes him from other contemporary directors is his rejection to infuse his portrayal of human existence with any kind of false sentimentality or an illusive hope of redemption. His nihilism is not a gesture, but an uncompromising confrontation with the reality of life. He's a true artist.
I can't fucking wait to see his upcoming film "Enter the Void" - what a title! - supposed to be released in early 2010. It's about, uhm, the ultimate realization of life's meaninglessness in the moment of death. There will be hallucinatory sequences inspired by DMT trips and Thomas Bangalter is responsible for the soundtrack/sound effects. Here's a teaser.

i got drunk and watched Bad Lieutenant, perfect anecdote to a shit day at work. laughed my ass off, Cage is a funny guy, i read it like a comedy. surprised to find it was directed by Herzog, is he moving towards being a Hollywood director now?
Eva Mendes? never heard of her up till now, she was obv terrible.

Can't see how its much different from killing pigs, they're smart animals and get slaughtered by the fucking million. Sorry if I sound cold, but this film (The Cove) just felt like do-gooder porn. Didn't rate it at all.
BTW - I totally agree re Gaspar Noe. Great director and I look forward to his next film.
' do - gooder porn' ?
Oh this is good ...
I had posted "The Cove" on this Art. Lit thread awhile ago, just to mention it.
Thought it was an unusual effort.
So ok, I read your comment now Grizzleb, I don't know you, what you do ( are you a filmmaker ? )
but if your comment is addressed to me -I never say "Dude..."

It wasn't addressed to you, I was doing an imitation of some of the people in the film, going on about 'making a connection' with the dolphins and whales and stuff.
I'm not a filmmaker (yet haha) - what gave you that idea?
