Impressive. For most part of the movie you are wondering if you are just watching a national geographic documentary with a minimal storyline. Then the kids arrive and everything changes. Not good for those who fall asleep soon, but it's definitely great.

Plague eheh I intended to mention both movies and totally agree. Sheitan is very interesting also for its background of underground film making. I suggest to watch the extras on the DVD. Kassel explains a lot about its birth.
The dance scene of Calvaire is amongst one of my ten fave movie scenes ever.
I wonder if any of the non-Italians know the most extreme movie of the last years. "Toto' che visse due volte" (Toto' who loved twice) Possibly the most blasphemous Italian movie ever, full of sick scenes like a real retarded fucking a statue of the holy virgin, an angel getting raped by three extremely fat guys in a garbage dump, christ dissolved into acid and so on.
The movie got a lot of shit from censorship, the vatican, fascists, ecc. devastating experience.

Paranoid Park. Watched yesterday. Vaguely skater movie. 80 minutes film is often interrupted by grainy film footage of urban skaters. Nothing interesting for me really. Story is about troubled kid with parents getting divorced, virgin cheerleader girlfriend not giving pussy, some beer drinking. Low life skaters in this illegal skate place. Some security guard dies in confusing situation. It's struggle of meaningless life, confusion, teenage troubles. Getting pussy, not getting one. Think like toned down and mellow version of some Larry Clark stuff. With more based just on feelings of uncertainty, mental pressure, etc. Only once scene of brutal violent images. One scene of hurried blurry teensex. Movie isn't linear, but goes forward on many levels. You basically see the end scene already quite early. I guess the lazy tempo and plentiness of filler works for this piece, since it really is based only one single incident.

I like CALVAIRE quite a bit; I have a UK dvd, I think? His jungle film stunk though. Bored me to death. I remember forwarding through it.
That Italian film sounds interesting but very arty. Scenes sound like stuff in SUBCONSCIOUS CRUELTY which is pretentious as hell.
I haven't seen anythign worth a damn in awhile. HOME MOVIE is pretty good...

Best part in Vinyan is at the end when that one kid breaks character and gropes the female lead

Just watched A Prophet, which i liked a lot, and would like recommendations on other good prison films. Besides the more obvious W.I.P flicks and the more well-known Hollywood films.

Paranoid Park.
I loathed that film. That's one that all you need to see is the trailers.

Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes. Probably my favorite Herzog film. Klaus Kinski really carries the film, making his characters descent into madness believable. I've heard the filming process was incredibly demanding even violent. I think it shows in the growing tension of the plot/characters. The last half an hour is really excellent, especially when they see the ship in the trees. So surreal. Any one here a fan?
