Kill List last night http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1788391/ Started ok, bit of a slow burner, nice British-ness to it but fell apart 2/3 of the way through with the "twist". Became unecessary, predictable and sadly stupid. Shame. There was a trailer for Animal Kingdom on the DVD which makes me want to see that more now, and Brighton Rock. Some foreign language film as well which looked quite good but the title escapes me so I'll probably never get round to seeing it/remembering it.

Saw Animal Kingdom a while back. Thriller worth getting along to. Lot of interesting movement going on in the Aussie film industry at the moment. If my memory serves me well the producer of AK is also involved in 2011s The Hunter http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1703148/ with Willelm Dafoe. Decent flick as well.

Just watched the trailer, looks good, knew nothing of it previously. Might have to reconsider Lovefilm or something of that ilk.

Anyone seen this one?

Melancholie der Engel. German horror anno 2009.

Good film! Has some very depraved scenes (scat, vomiting etc) and beautiful cinematography. However it is quite absurd at times, and the DVD doesn't come with english subtitles, so the 2,5 hours could be a strain, if you don't understand german! Surely not everyone's cup of tea, but quite sick, authentic and artsy without being faggish. The film includes a ridiculous amount of animal snuff btw, so stay clear, if you don't like that.

Well I did a bit of hunting and remembered it has Vincent Cassel in it - the film in question is Notre Jour Viendra (Our Day Will Come), anyone seen it?

Love the sound of the factory siren.

Saw this a while back. A kill-off road movie. Not the peak of film history, though worth to check out. Misanthropic, dark, fun. Cassel is good so is co-star what's-his-name? In short an A-B-C in how to propose oneself in this world?! ....  Enjoy Gavras films, espc the beat that skipped my heart.

The redhead guy is Olivier Barthelemy. Noutre Jour Viendra is one of the most intense movie of the last years. It's a run against everything. I wrote so much about this Romain Gavras movie on my article about power-electronics cinema. the Cassel monologue is perfect and fits so good in that kind of cinema message

[martialgodmask]

Great, I shall see about getting hold of it.

[bitewerksMTB]

Melancholie der Engel is by the same director as Cannibal which was a bore but had some great gore. MdE sounds like it'd be the same (a bore with great gore/depravity) & maybe something like Subconscious Cruelty.

Our Day Will Come looks interesting.

I haven't seen anything good lately...

with Calvaire my favourite recent Euro movie.

Ok so I just watched Animal Kingdom, read a lot of comparisons of between this and Snow Town... don't see it really, other than the obvious Aussie crime thriller similarity. AK is better, I'd say. Very enjoyable, glad to have seen it. Definitely interested in The Hunter now.

BLISS from 1985

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088821/plotsummary

This I remember as one of the funniest surrealist comedies I've ever seen...

Thanx, this looks good!

[Black_Angkar]

It's absurdist really, but with a lot of hillariously surrealist details. Still, you can notice it being an eighties movie in many ways.

[Tenebracid]

nil by mouth (1997)

excellent gritty drama directed by gary oldman that feels like a docu at most parts about a family living in south east london's public housing.

[Bleak Existence]

The Turin Horse

a masterpiece and the best movie i ever watched in my life period
