reply

wavelength & the color of pomegranates are two of the weirdest movies i've ever seen, but i can't really say i liked them. found them both dull & a bit of a chore to get through, but they were definitely strange.

reply

is House the asian version?

Was not a fan of Holy Motors

I had Holy Mountains on my Youtube watchlist for so long and when I decided to finally watch it recenty I saw they took it off!!

reply

yes, that's the japanese 'house' from '77 or so. i just watched it quite recently. it's very slight & silly, but it's chock-full of great images.

i can certainly understand where you're coming from re: holy motors, but i absolutely love it myself...just think it's such an off-the-wall, one of a kind experience.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer.
