In one word, awesome. In a few more words, I feel I have just watched some of the best movies I've ever seen. Love Exposure was genuinely funny. tragic. captivating. entertaining. Four hours of film rolled by very quickly, lining up for 45 minutes to secure the best seats wasn't boring either.
Hungry Jacks filled the void between the first and second movie. Though I still haven't made a decision on whether I prefer a Whopper or Quarter Pounder better. I do prefer the meatier/cheesier texture of the QP but there's something about the Whopper mayo that is very special each time. I think that some further field research will be required.
The second movie .. my my my .. the second movie. Martyrs lived up to my expectations, a truly horrifying movie that is not, and rightly so, for everyone. After some discussion, I realised that one can only comprehend how good the movie actually is, the day after. Jessa and Jazel walked out halfway through the movie, Clarice cried. I have a suspicion they don't share my high regard for the film, but if you can make it through.. the movie is superb upon reflection.
I wish I could watch a number of other films that appeal to me, but my wallet will not allow it. Apologies Mr & Mrs FilmMaker but your work has been relegated to my ever increasing 'to download' list.
My 1st Melbourne Film Festival was great, and I will be sure to catch it again next year!
Sorry I didnt come - though I have a feeling I MAY have walked out with Jazel and Jessa. haha. "may".
ReplyDeleteI love the MIFF. I'm yet to attend this yr, but I know I will. My girls are all penny-less right now though, so I may need to find new miff-ys to go with.
Last year I made disappointing movie choices :( I'm hoping this years choice is good.
Just to let you know, MIFF wraps up on Sunday..and researching the movies is half the fun! so hopefully you can find some good movie choices =]
ReplyDeleteyeh I missed out on that pop culture one I was telling u about :(
ReplyDeletedarnit.
To make it clear, I cried cos felt sorry for the girl. I almost vomited too. Haha But I reckon Martyrs was really good movie and it was put together well. I'm gonna agree with you and say that those two movies are two of the best movies i've ever watched!
ReplyDeletei know this is late but we were in line for 45 mins?? haha didn't feel like it at all!
