Amour on the other hand showed me nothing new. Except that Haneke is better at directing humans than pigeons... <br /><br />I do think I am suffering from a certain level of festival fatigue though. 3 to 5 films a day for two weeks straight is something I've never done before and I'm sure my initial reception to them would be different if I watched them at a regular pace.Bonjour Tristessehttp://www.bonjourtristesse.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-57002932883489182522012-10-13T01:04:05.381-07:002012-10-13T01:04:05.381-07:00I think this is the most amount of films I've ...I think this is the most amount of films I've seen in such a short span in my entire life.Bonjour Tristessehttp://www.bonjourtristesse.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-77893534316698525762012-10-13T01:02:49.391-07:002012-10-13T01:02:49.391-07:00I will try and make a ranking of the films I saw s...I will try and make a ranking of the films I saw sometime this week.Bonjour Tristessehttp://www.bonjourtristesse.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-85914079850800530122012-10-13T01:01:49.010-07:002012-10-13T01:01:49.010-07:00The acting is outstanding.

My god - she's so beautiful. <br />But there are some very very exciting films here - Rose looks brilliant and I love the look of Emperor visits the hell. Those images of Reality look great as well. <br />So many films - Im wondering if there are too many... is it easy to retain objectivity? You have so many amazing films here crammed into one space. How is that for you?Lisa Thatchernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-79380031582801645762012-10-08T13:14:49.831-07:002012-10-08T13:14:49.831-07:00Started off thinking I'd be fine with watching...Started off thinking I'd be fine with watching most of these, then progressively realized I'd probably be better off watching half.

Seems like Michael Haneke has gone the Lars von Trier Melancholia route, and taken a break from shocking audiences365 moviesandsongs365noreply@blogger.com
