Das Boot [Pronounced 'Das Boat'] Director's Cut- German, directed by Wolfgang Petersen, who made "In The Line Of Fire" and "Air Force One" later....
One of the best war [anti-war, depending on your perception] movies ever made. Wonder why it took me so long to discover this piece of beauty. Attention to detail and the cinematography are TOP CLASS - 95% of the movie is shot inside a submarine, imagine the issues of lighting and camera movement
L' Enfant sauvage [The Wild Child] - French, Francois Truffaut [maker of "400 Blows"]
This is based on a real story of an 11 year old boy living in the forests among animals, like an animal, with no contact with humans or civilization. The story is about how a doctor, played by Truffaut himself, tries to "educate" and civilize the boy and if and how much he succeeds.

If you are a fan of French Comedy, I recommend 'Delicatessen', by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who also directed 'Amelie'. In contrast to 'Amelie', the comedy in 'Delicatessen' is dark and typically French. It deals with the lives of cannibalistic residents in an apartment complex, who pay a butcher to supply human meat. Absolutely funny in a wierd way.Quote:

An interesting aspect of the movie: The theme music that plays during the opening credits is the same as 'Pulp Fiction' ('Misirlou' if I am right). Does it come under plagiarism?
Ive watched taxi..pretty amazing movie.Some fantastic car chase scenes :)

I liked Amelie but i'm slightly prejudiced against most "feel-good" movies :)
And 'Delicatessen' sounds "intersting" :)
Well, i hate F1 racing :(Quote:

Kannan,
One more thing...
Have you watched Fellini's movies? I tried "8 1/2" but couldn't sit through for more than half an hour! Ennamo he has abandoned neo-realism in favor of surrealism and fantasy appadingaraanga...
That Goddard was the first to use 'freeze frame' shots is news to me :) . I do remember the jump cuts in 'Breathless', which was again a novelty and borrowed by Truffaut later. In fact, a noticeable aspect of 'Breathless' was the sometimes amateurish acting by the main cast, that gives a sense of 'removed viewing' (for want of a better word) for the audience . Many film makers again borrowed this technique for their films (Tarkovsky's 'Solaris' was one, and very successful at that).Quote:

The twist dance sequence in 'Pulp Fiction' is apparently inspired from a dance sequence in 'Bande a part' (more on the similarities after watching 'Bande a part'). Tarantino mentions that the dance sequence is a tribute to Goddard, whose influence was so strong on him that he named his company 'A Band Apart' (from 'Bande a part') :) .Quote:

It was quite dragging (the only part that kept me awake were the women in the movie), but I had to sit through, in anticipation of an Iranian movie that was next in line. About the fantasy element, I thought that was always an integral part of Fellini's movies (surrealism-mannu sollra alavukku padam manasula padhiyale). I have watched his 'La dolca vita' (title seriya gnyabagam illai) - again part fantasy. From what I heard, his other films like 'Clowns' and 'City of Women' are also supposedly fantasy driven.Quote:
