Underated
Is anyone else sick of hearing about the greatest films of all time and seeing the same films regurgitated over and over? The Godfather, Schindlers List, Taxi Driver, Pulp Fiction, blah blah blah. We all know these are good films but they aren't the be all and end all.
I think Suzuki is an amazing director and this is my personal favourite of his films. I'd love to see his work get wider mainstream recognition as they certainly deserve it. And while we're at it why don't we see the films of Ozu, Mizoguchi, Teshigahara, *beep* Herzog, Fassbinder, Cassavetes, Sirk etc in these lists? It seems like most people only consider films from Hollywood in the 70's as true classics. Grr!
