Great Expectations (1998) –
Pretty, though the cameraman went a little tilt-crazy. Some nice unintentionally silly bits too.
Vernanda (1988) –
A traveler tries to rid himself of a bomb in an eccentric town. Seems like I would’ve enjoyed it much more if it weren’t for the marred audio quality on youtube.
Svengali (1931) –
The droopy expressionistic sets are cool, the lead is fantastic, and the story stays odd, surprising, and uninhibited. The comedy seems token though. Anyone expecting a horror flick would probably be surprised by the adventurous drama that inserts itself, and the heavy note that it ends on.
Russkaya simfoniya (1994) –
Made pretty much in the same style as Lopushanskiy’s Visitor Of A Museum. Only this has a pinch of dark comedy and Shakespearean histrionics that give it much more character. The lighting is somehow even redder, and the environment still seems soaked in kerosene. It’s set during a society’s crumbling (rather than after) so the environment is more violent and active, while still maintaining Lopushanskiy’s bleakness.
