in the last couple of days i've seen..
horrors of malformed men - quite weird japanese dr moreau rip off from tesuro ishii..it dragged a bit but there was some great ridiculous imagery. i like the people with cling film wrapped round their heads.
pigsty - wow that was strange, a bit of a precurser to salo, very stripped down and dream-like. i'm a bit haunted by this one and not quite sure what it all meant, but it was definately great.
the conformist - one of the most beautiful amazingly stylish films i ever laid eyes on, storaro really was the man before he went funny in the head and started butchering his old composistions. thank god he didn't get his grubby mitts on this one.
roma - another great carnival of fellini madness. no real story more like rome through fellini's eyes. beautiful and mad. toby dammit is still my favourite though.
i've also been repeatedly watching the bfi devils dvd and showing it to my ignorant friends. it gets better every time. nothing much i can say about it it except i agree with mark kermode, one of the best 10 films ever made.
