Found some very insightful, and will check out some movies that I have not seen among them. You liked Punch-Drunk Love! Dunno why nobody gave it much bhaav. Not gaga over Shanghai? I am even ready to like Welles' Irish accent! No Truffaut? Tim Burton? More later "This isn't right, this isn't even wrong." Wolfgang Pauli (1900-1958) "There are no facts, only interpretations." Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Punch-Drunk really made me sit up and take notice. I really think of the current crop of directors, he has the greatest chance of coming up with the next great classic - Dr Zhivago, Vertigo, Apocalypse Now standard. There is something classical about his camerawork, loving, long takes, with the camera constantly moving that is missing in the current crop, but was very much present in a Welles or Hitchcock. Another talent is Alexander Payne (Sideways, Election). In my opinion, Truffaut and Godard are like Tarantino. They've paid homage to other movies all their lives instead of going out and doing their own thing. That's probably why Tarantino admires them so much. They're all the greatest movie buffs and have produced some films of interest, but nothing original. I highly recommend Les Enfants - possibly the greatest film ever made.....its also good to read lots of reviews on it. They'll give you a historic perspective and make the viewing that much deeper....my reviews are really jottings or notes for my reference with an emphasis on observations not made by other reviewers...speaking of greatest film, have you seen Dersu Uzala? Kind Regards Faraaj Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. - Victor Hugo There is only one better thing than music - live music. - Jacek Bukowski I hate music, especially when it's played. - Jimmy Durante No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible. - W. H. Auden
