reminded me at the same time of amarcord and satyricon, but it was something completely different-- documentary, satire, memoir, political commentary, all at the same time. spectacular visuals of course.
brilliant features on the disc as well (interview w/ the guy who did the great beauty, etc) |
Roma always disappoints me a bit. Given the subject matter it should've been the ultimate Fellini film (and it does have some of his greatest scenes) but it never quite holds together for me in the way that his best films do. Not saying I don't like it, I just wish it was better.
Anyway ...
Anger Me
A documentary about Kenneth Anger. Mostly him talking through his life and films. Not a great documentary in its own right but a must for any Anger or Underground film fans.
