I haven't, no. It's one of the few Bunuel films I haven't seen.

Will be my first Bunuel. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

2 Days in Paris is seriously underrated. Love that film.

Watched Zero Days on the weekend, very interesting stuff.

It is brilliant.

Saw Denzel's Fences recently.

The story and middle portions were watchable enough, but * that opening 20 minutes was painful.

I had to pause it and consider whether I wanted to keep watching. The dialogue was borderline nonsense, Denzel's voice was grating, and the continual conversation was just exhausting to listen to.

I can see how it'd be a good play, but the opening to that film is one of the worst I've experienced.

So you'd disagree slightly with Chris Nashawaty then?

The female lead (Viola Davis) was great, to be fair.

Watched Grosse Point Blank again last night. 20 years old now and still really enjoyable.

Does anybody know what time the Academy Awards are shown here in Australia?

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Toni Erdmann was superb. See it if you can. Only saw today, but would be my pick as best film of 2016. Lol at La La Land (which I have seen) getting all the award nominations.

Bergman I have now also watched Age of Gold and the Discreet Charm. Really like his stuff. Tonight's viewing is Blow-Up, a little change of style.

John Travolta was very good in that I believe.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

John Travolta was very good in that I believe.

Just looked up, yep he is in the remake called Blow Out, which I think I might have seen. Blow Up is the original (1966).

That's right. I prefer De Palma's version.

Way to wreck the movie for me.

I've seen Blow Out, and you're right, it's one of his better performances.

Fun fact: Quentin Tarantino loves that film.

I cannot really remember much about the Travolta version but cannot imagine is anywhere near as good as original. Very impressive. Beerfish highly recommend you watch.

Personally I think Blow Out is the better film. Antonioni doesn't do much for me and I find most of his work quite dull.

I mostly don't know what's going on in this thread anymore.

Admittedly for a thriller not a lot happens, such that Antonioni includes that random scene where the photographer rips the models' clothes off and wrestles in order to liven things up. I thought was a bit random.

Saw Legend of Ben Hall last night. Was good; although a bit long.
