The Council of Nine



A Dry White Season, Clash of the Titans, Employees' Entrance, Farewell My Concubine, First Men in the Moon, Hanover Street, Once, Robinson Crusoe on Mars, Waking Ned Devine

I'll preempt your snappy reply by acknowledging, sure, some of them are less overlooked than others.

That "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" poster is a beautiful bit of design/illustration.

Indeed, the strong-edged colors were specifically developed for large-scale art (think Soviet agitprop). Abused these days by Charles Schwab and A Scanner Darkly and every single pseudo-Mucha flyer made with Adobe Illustrator.

Interesting.

I thought it was a paint-by-numbers kit.

It's an exaggeration and imitation of the Art Deco style pioneered by J.C. Leyendecker. (That's just my opinion, of course, Metro. I think Mucha is more closely associated with an almost comic-book flat-color and stylized line look, which I also like quite a bit.)

I just finished "Where the Buffalo Roam". Murray is no Depp, but when you spend 7 straight hours watching "buy-the-ticket-take-the-ride", "Where the Buffalo Roam", then straight into "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" you realize the time and effort Bill 'the drug-addicted, spousal abuser, and serial adulterer' Murray dedicated to not merely understanding HST but living him is truly great acting. (also big up to Boyle)

He was excellent in that film.

And Peter Boyle too.

Sex & Zen (1992)

quote:
A recently married scholar goes on a quest for knowledge of other
people's wives, based on his philosophical differences with the Sack Monk.
He encounters the Flying Thief, who agrees to help him find women, but only
if he attains a penis as big as a horse's. The scholar has a surgeon attach
said unit, and he's off and running on his mission, only to find that there
are obstacles to his new lifestyle, such as jealous husbands and treacherous
females.

A local university had an early evening screening of a fabulous German film, Die Fälscher or The Counterfeiters.



quote:
The Counterfeiters is the true story of the largest counterfeiting operation in history, set up by the Nazis in 1936. Salomon "Sally" Sorowitsch is the king of counterfeiters. He lives a mischievous life of cards, booze, and women in Berlin during the Nazi-era. Suddenly his luck runs dry when arrested by Superintendent Friedrich Herzog. Immediately thrown into the Mauthausen concentration camp, Salomon exhibits exceptional skills there and is soon transferred to the upgraded camp of Sachsenhausen. Upon his arrival, he once again comes face to face with Herzog, who is there on a secret mission. Hand-picked for his unique skill, Salomon and a group of professionals are forced to produce fake foreign currency under the program Operation Berhard. The team, which also includes detainee Adolf Burger, is given luxury barracks for their assistance. But while Salomon attempts to weaken the economy of Germany's allied opponents, Adolf refuses to use his skills for Nazi profit and would like to do something to stop Operation Bernhard's aid to the war effort. Faced with a moral dilemma, Salomon must decide whether his actions, which could prolong the war and risk the lives of fellow prisoners, are ultimately the right ones.
