[Fuuma]

I missed this one, supposedly a decent giallo hommage but not that much more.

Watched the Assassin, will re-watch in theater. Very enjoyable movie, maybe less intellectual than most Hou but beautiful experience.

People way more knowledgeable than me called it a deconstruction of the martial arts assassin sub genre. 

 

Where do you live that you were able to see this in theaters?  

 

 

A major work by a thoroughly minor talent. The distance between what he thinks he says and what he actually says is fascinating. 

 

Masterpiece. The only copy I could find was a bootleg from Taiwan but it was well worth it. 

 

 

 

Who would've thought that the auteur who made Pulp Fiction, a movie I find deeply cynical and painfully hip, would make this movie?

 

 

What a remarkable performance by the two lead actresses. When those two were in a scene together the screen crackled with energy. 

 

JJ Abrams proves my thesis that he's a producer's director, making a movie that is both bombastic and portentous while failing to earn a single moment. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This guy is incredible. I realize these are only his late works but did he do anything that wasn't worth watching?

[CHINESEGOLD]

Was really, really good. Innaritu is becoming one of my favorite contemporary directors. Didn't really care for Babel but Biutiful and Revenant are definitely up there for my favorite movies.

Inarritu is that person you meet who uses big words they don't understand to show you how smart they are. Except he does it with film grammar.

private screening [;

 

 

 

you prob saw the clip of the revenant compared to tarkovsky, i think mostly the mirror

[polishmike]

Saw it yesterday. Not bad for a debut. Worth watching at the theater.

[seeldog47]

almost positive he's ELL. and awesome.

He's so here sophomoric, which is unsurprising given his filmography.

[CHINESEGOLD]

Are you complaining about his actual films or his interviews?
