P.S. - This is actually a repost from FG board (deleted long ago), and yet another one from Polanski's 'home page' (sadly, the events there are beyond words and *such* on topic threads vanish quickly). I apologize to all who already participated there. It would be really nice, if you could repeat the excercise here, in humble hope that this thread will be 'alive' a little longer. Thank you for your understanding.

Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!

Thanks for your feedback. Much appreciated.

"Bitter Moon (1992) 9/10
Cul-de-sac (1966) 10/10"

Really glad to see this. The former rate looks promising and the latter is spot on (we agree completely, of course).

"Wow, it's been a few years since you posted this thread."

Yep yep, and about a 100 more as well. If you're interested (if only to check names) feel free to visit my Profile. Of course, I'd appreciate your further feedback on (at least some of) them. Altman and Buñuel are there as well. *hint hint*

"Just remembering Bitter Moon, when I first saw it I thought it was Polanskis masterpiece, so I may have under rated it. The acting was exceptional and the theme was certainly confronting."

Great to hear. It's on my radar for ages already, but wasn't lucky enough to catch it as of yet. I'll have to do something about that as soon as possible.
Thanks again.

Thanks for your rates. Much appreciated, as always.
Nice to see we pretty much agree on most of them.

"Cul-de-sac [Not seen]"

Well, you'll have to do something about that. It's his Top notch film (actually, I think it's his very best). Good luck with it.
