Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead (1990)
Brilliant!
A genuine must-see, the allegoric film where every joke and every action are so layered, that you can't even grasp it all. The original interpretation of the Shakespeare's Hamlet, told from the POV of two minor heroes who honestly have no idea how they got caught up in all that mess, trapped within the plot of the Author. The idea that "All the world is a stage, and we are all merely actors" is embroidered skillfully into the canvas of the story, entwined with the problems of choice, freedom, free will, justice, loyalty. Moreover the movie managed to avoid the pathos/affectedness so typical for intellectual films that usually turns us off, the story is told with such irony and lightness that it strikes all the right notes, making us happy or sad, sympathetic to the heroes. The brilliant actors' works are just the cherry on top. Too incredible for words.
Deceiver (1997)
Exquisitely dirty
An extremely dirty movie. Everything is dirty: a horrid crime where the victim is a prostitute and the main suspect is a rich young epileptic with no moral boundaries who drinks drugs down with absinthe. The investigation is led by a gambler and a man haunted by his own dark ghosts, threatening to destroy his marriage. The operator's work is also dirty, the picture is dark, people's faces reveal more and more animalistic features of their owners, turning the all in monsters by the end of the film. The investigation spiraling out of control reveals increasingly dirty details of the case. The end is shocking in it's cruelty. This movie may be crossing a moral verge of our perception of "dirt", making us watch it till the end never taking our eyes off the screen. It reaches it's goad - we become engrossed in the "dirt", seduced by it's dark appeal. An exquisitely dirty movie.
Captives (1994)
Exquisite. Hot. Tim Roth
Watched it yesterday night. Two times. And one time this morning. I'm very sure the film is for women without being a chick flick. Tim Roth turns on all of his animalistic charm and charisma of a predator. And it doesn't matter anymore that the story is weak, that the plot is at times inconsistent and that the sex scene takes place in the toilet (By the way that scene is on youtube watched around 1000 times and there's only one comment to it: "lucky bitch". Couldn't say better myself). A must-see for women.
I guess a must see for men as well - as an educational material. It doesn't matter who you are, how much you earn or how you look - if you learn to look at a woman like THAT - she will be yours. It's a promise.
