Lynch. vrything about it is RIGHT. And th sexiest film I know, sen how often ? ( 7-8? ) Music: terrific. Marilyn Manson: Sexy. Arquette: Idem Dito. This story is so GOOD. you can not vr de-construct it, only build more floors on its building, all FITS. ( Mulholland is a rip-off of this, for those who like things 'explained', but its root is HERE, be certain!
Every single image, eevery word, every hair-blow is PERFECTION, a truely mastrpiece . ( his others: Erasrhead, and EEmpire, but havent r-seen that onee yet, and tht's the only thing that counts: how OFTEN can I see somthng without gtting bored?

- DirectorPier Paolo PasoliniStarsEnrique IrazoquiMargherita CarusoSusanna PasoliniThe life of Jesus Christ according to the Gospel of Matthew. Film shows Christ as a Marxist avant-la-lettre and therefore uses half of the text of Matthew.Not true , above dscription, NOTHING marxist .
Just th barest ( cinematography accompanies emotionless ( similar to Hors Satan or Bresson 's ) non-prof-actors , CONFORMING word for word to M's Gospel, pulls your concentration directly into it, one minute is enough ( for meditation). Amazing how this WORKS ( this is why th Vatican has it on his 'best spiritual films list ' ) - StarsPhilippe GarnerLee Klinenot really, but the pic of Eclypse just don't show up...........big favorite on NUMBER 2 !!
( other numbers 2 : A. Rublev, Nostalghia, Hors Satan, Lost Highway ( my absolutely fav. Lynch ) The Damned ( my fav Visconti ) - DirectorPaul Thomas AndersonStarsDaniel Day-LewisPaul DanoCiarán HindsA story of family, religion, hatred, oil and madness, focusing on a turn-of-the-century prospector in the early days of the business.FINALLY !!! After many decades ( wht took u so long ?!!) an Amrican Mastrpiece I Love Till Death: Everything abut it, also the music score is FNTASTIC, man, I have seen it already so many timees, it's a PIECE OF MUSIC, exactly how I like my fav. films to be: MUSIC + RHYTM !!!!!!
Well done Anderson, after Scoppola's Apocalypse, it's YOU, and only you, who have enchanted me with a true Snopian ( Faulkner) American Epic Biblical Account in MUSIC ( yes, only music, I hate too much words in my fav. flms, that's why they are all 'psychedelic'....I can only watch them countless times ( 7 this) if they are open ( 'space') , dont talk, but dance, dont fuzz, but feel...... this is a true American Capitalist Masterpiece ( u should make more, you lazy ones ;)that will survive !! - DirectorDavid LeanStarsRobert MitchumTrevor HowardJohn MillsSet in the wake of the 1916 Easter Rising, a married woman in a small Irish village has an affair with a troubled British officer.Amazing film + R.Mitchum ( a fav calssic USA actor )
