I love and hated it the same both times. It reminded me of another strangely manic and claustrophobic Russian film I saw there the year before: Alexander Sokurov's "Faust".<br /><br />Btw. if you are interested in Czech cinema, I must recommend "The Cremator" by Juraj Herz - a movie gem from the new-wave era and one of the best horror movies ever made. Once I saw it projected at the Pardubice Crematorium where it was shot in 1969 and was treated with traditional Czech wreath- and coffin-shaped pastries afterwards. Unforgettable!<br /><br /><br /><br />Nechcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059642044576356134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265014241875110812.post-77064250403708444152016-05-02T20:24:32.284-04:002016-05-02T20:24:32.284-04:00PLEASE MIKE, cover Dorothea's Revenge, it'...PLEASE MIKE, cover Dorothea's Revenge, it's one of my favorite films <3!!!<br />Here's a compilation playlist we made for our cineclub, hope you enjoy it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dE-aS1_VM8&list=PLj0O_d9TQuX_QcnjJTeEgXADPFI7DLlE_<br /><br />Loved this episode, I like both films, but for diametrically different reasons. I find Fleishmann´s film very enjoyable, kitsch and fun, while German´s is a unique, harsh and immersive masterpiece. Noiryaguarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217387245086809975noreply@blogger.com
