I don't think so. Pretty sure that's one I would take note of as I've never seen it but have seen the title around forever.

Battle in Heaven (Batalla en el cielo) by Carlos Reygadas

Seen it first maybe ten years ago. Probably not one to watch very often, but I decided to rewatch today. Tried many other movies before, but wasn't in the right mood for them. So it seems this one might be something special for special days.

And yes, I like it.

If you don't already know it - here's a trailer (not really representative of the film, in my opinion):

I think the full movie is there as well.

Carlos Reygadas .... whole filmography is strong. Consistent director. High craftsmanship. Post Tenebras Lux is masterclass.

The Picnic at Hanging Rock (1975, Peter Weir)
          Part of my ongoing obsession with Aussie films involving the outback. Was really glad to have finally seen this one as it delivered 100% on all its promises of weirdness, repressed sexuality, and humor. I wish there were more films like this because there is an indescribable vibe and it's unlike anything else I've ever seen. I don't wanna spoil the ending, but more movies with a disappearance story should be as ambiguous as this. I would like to see a crime-related mystery film handled with this sort of distance and lack of speculation. Reminds me very much of Ultra's "The Society of Unkissed Beauties/Sweet Flowers in the Spring." Anyone who can recommend any decent Australian cinema, please do.

Great film indeed.

Have you seen "Wake In Fright"? "Long Weekend" (the OG one) is great too, although set in a less desertic landscape than the outback. And I have a soft spot for "Wolf Creek" as well, but I don't know if you'd call that decent...

nightvisions festival started again.

HOLIDAY

support! and two thumbs in the throat for this flick. it felt like exploitation with a message for todays girls.

Not sure it's a good film but I like that guy whispering "I don't give a fuck".

It was pretty darn good. it had one of the most graphic sex scenes  Ive seen in a normal movie. people next to me were moaning and covering their eyes hah. could have been from exitment or pleasure. I didnt ask

Never thought one of my films would get thumbs up here... but then Holiday do have that scene although I always thought the scene with the kid eating candy while they beat the guy in the next room is the most brutal scene in the film.

Where can I see Holiday?

Last couple days:

So Sweet, So Dead

Depends on where you live. The film is doing its festival rounds right now and will start theatrical life in the autumn.

A Quiet Place - saw this one last night. really enjoyed it. it's not a perfect movie but it's damn good! the movie is non-stop tension. the monsters look pretty rad, though they're indebted heavily to HR Giger's xenomorph. Being PG-13 gore and guts was low, but there's one part that's brutal without being overly graphic that had me wincing since I've had the same injury before. the whole use of silence, sign language, and score interspersed was really effective.   apparently they're already gearing up for a sequel.

they played the trailer for the sequel to Sicario... it looks like they're taking a movie that needed no sequel and making the new one into a quippy hollywood action movie. granted i'm all for hyper-violent action movies but I can't imagine the magic of the original will be there.

saw A Quiet Place yesterday too

thought it was pretty bad

really irritating score

the guy's whiteboard saying things like "BLIND" and "ATTACK SOUND" and "what is their WEAKNESS" was really stupid
