Bought it last week and finished it yesterday - probably didn't find it that grim bcz it was all spread out over 3 evenings, which I hated doing but couldn't wait for the weekend.
Really enjoyed it though Artificial Eye should've had an extra to accompany this..

squeezing blood from the whip was nice, but can't really compare to the passion, a film completely devoted to flogging.

Yeah, it can be a bit much, especially if you're able to watch the sun changing dramatically over the course of the film. That said, it is remarkably well paced and nowhere near as tedious as it really should be.
veronica mars, season 1, first 12 episodes. god help me.
The best.

amazing amazing doc about photographer edward burtynksy, who's work is mostly about the impact of mega-scale industrialization--huge building projects, dams, extraction etc. mindblowing. opens with 11-minute tracking shot through huge chinese manufacturing plant. film also shows: ship wrecking yards where huge freighters are run aground and torn apart; towns where industry is primarily reclamation of e-waste (huge dumps full of circuit boards), 3 gorges dam project, so huge that when it was filled with water (reservoir is 600 kilometres long) the earth actually wobbled, rivers of bright-red nickel runoff, mining projects that carve huge stepped holes out of mountains.
one of the best movies of the year. and without a DOUBT the NOIZEST movie of the year.
A++++++++
SEE IT. on the big screen if it comes to your town. robyn don't miss it while it's at ex-centris.

This week I was presently surprised to see her in 2 ou 3 choses que je sais d'elle, which I had forgotten/never realized she was I in.
I also like her in Weekend.

I'm not behind it or anything, but I feel sort of incapable of disliking anything by Linklater (note: have not seen Waking Life). I was hoping he could do the whole movie without getting to the kill floor, though. I mean, it's all fun and games in Cannibal Holocaust when it's endangered turtles and stuff, but these are cows here.
I spent the entire movie trying to figure out who that sullenly pretty, surprisingly good actress was. I was all "she should get more parts," and then I realized it was Avril Lavigne.

This is a good reason. But..
"I also like her in Weekend."
I hadn't realized that she ws in it when I got the DVD a cpl of weeks ago.
"That said, it is remarkably well paced and nowhere near as tedious as it really should be."
Yes, obv with a broken-down viewing I don't know how boring it would be, and I have lots of patience but once you get hold of the pace in which his movies move at..
Some other things I watched this week:
"Fear Eats the Soul" (really good bunch of extras (2 hrs worth of) on this - Todd Haynes on Fassbinder ws pretty engaging, there is an old interview with the man himself, an ok-ish documentary and a 10-min short).
DVDs from library:
Mean Girls - well watching this alongside "fear eats the soul" I couldn't help comparing the four girls in this and the four cleaning ladies in "fear.."
"Elephant", "Last Days".
Godard's "Slow Motion" - The extra is a short film by JLG explaining some of the ideas behind the film (there is a really funny point he makes toward the end as to how he probably bored the viewer a bit but that's ok bcz its part of the act of creation..or something like that). Didn't know quite what to make of it except I wonder what went on between JLG and Isabelle Huppert..
TV:
"The Infernal Affairs" trilogy ws broadcast over here last week. Taped the last two as I'd watched the first one a few months ago. Big mistake as I couldn't remember the finer details on the first, so the 2nd and 3rd passed over my head. ah well..
