Re: Foreign Language Hall of Fame

Re: Foreign Language Hall of Fame

Honestly, now that I'm thinking more about The Leopard, I'm starting to see a few elements I could potentially enjoy more on a re-watch, regarding specifically the main character. I guess cricket...

Re: Foreign Language Hall of Fame

Y'all, I finished watching Saragossa Manuscript tonight, so I'm officially done with all of the films. I think I'll post my thoughts on the latter, along with Benny's Video tonight, then write about...

You're good, and so is anyone who liked/disliked my nomination. I mean, do my previous discussions about Benny's Video give off the perception that I don't understand not everything works for...

Re: Foreign Language Hall of Fame

I only have The Saragossa Manuscript left. I'll post my write-ups for Benny's Video and Samsara before the week ends. It's been a very fun HOF nonetheless.

Re: Foreign Language Hall of Fame

Actually, the excessive amount of the historical and political elements, also added to the ruin of my experience. Every time there was any focus on them, I rapidly grew irritated, and the overall...

Re: Foreign Language Hall of Fame

Thinking about it more, I realised that my main issue with The Leopard is its lack of focus. I would've liked had the film been more concerned about portraying the contrast, between the aristocrats...

Who knows what I'll think of it years from now, maybe I'll recognise it for the masterpiece it is, or maybe I'll hate it even more which would be quite the hard task to achieve. More importantly, the...

Re: Foreign Language Hall of Fame

I actually already re-watched Benny's Video during the time of this HOF, but I decided to do that write-up last, since I'm gonna end up re-watching it again anyway.

As for the other 4 films, I...

Re: Foreign Language Hall of Fame

Thinking about Phoenix now, its ending alone elevated it from an overall good film, to a fantastic one. Though, I'm not sure that's as good of a compliment as I think it is... :drevil:

Re: Foreign Language Hall of Fame

Yeah, it's weird for me because the first time I saw La Haine, I thought it was fantastic, fast-forward a year later when I re-watched it, I thought it was so obnoxious I couldn't even finish it. It...
