Dancer in the Dark (2000)
A powerful and unforgettable experience
Dancer in the Dark is definitely one of the most engaging films produced in recent times, regardless of genre. The journey that Lars von Trier and Bjork offer is unforgettable.
Suddenly conventional realist drama seems astoundingly archaic. Lars von Trier -as Writer/Director- handles the script so brilliantly, and with the insightful casting of Bjork, he's created a truly new and contemporary "Musical" experience. If you're are able to embrace this film's language and think outside the square, you'll be rewarded with one of the most unique experiences available cinema today.
Kozure Ôkami: Ko wo kashi ude kashi tsukamatsuru (1972)
sword of vengeance
I happened to catch this movie one night on the SBS(foriegn film channel in Australia). It was in it's original form with english sub titles. It really blew me away. The narrative just pulls you in - a lone warrior with his child, wandering the landscape in search justice. Similar plot line to all those classic spagetti western's with Eastwood- how can you not like it! And the child gives the film such a unique tension. I've just ordered the later compilation release - Shogun Assa
