Tape Store included Oslo in the (ongoing) foreign film series he curates at the local theater. It really affected me. This week's film is Thursday Till Sunday and the director and star are being flown in for the screenings.

just watched 'oslo' myself - of the two 2011 movies helmed by scandinavians that use "under your spell" by desire as background music, this was definitely the better one

Didn't notice Melancholia is up! I thought I was done with von Trier forever but everything I've read about this one makes it sound v much my thing.

I am not usually a fan of von Trier but I really liked this.

What's with this wave of Trier film recommendations, von or otherwise?

Yeah guys seriously

i'm usually a fan of von trier but i keep turning melancholia off
― fauxmarc, Monday, 24 September 2012 22:14 (eleven years ago) link
I almost walked about of Melancholia but ultimately I think I mildly recommend it. I liked the second half.

I quit after about an hour. It was just so incredibly boring. I figured it had to get more interesting at some point, but I couldn't make it.

"walked out of," not "walked about of"
wtf is wrong w me

im sure ill have more to say about it on the horror thread, but genre dudes should def check out "dream home", its a solid body count insano romp.

chiming in on the love for oslo, august 31st. when it started I was kinda sceptical about needing another gritty eastern european flick abt heroin addiction but it's more to do w/ general aimlessness and anhedonia, beautifully observed, smart performances and script, earns its haunting moments in quiet ways. had no idea it was a remake of le feu follet until a friend posted abt it on fb.

They just added thirty or forty Heathcliff titles. Quite a coup.

I loved the grey!!
― Jeff, Monday, 1 October 2012 19:20 (eleven years ago) link
hey, i liked it too! so grim!
― these albatrosses have no fear of man (La Lechera), Monday, 1 October 2012 19:21 (eleven years ago) link
it could've been grim if it had been 80 minutes of wolves chasing liam and co across the tundra but the failed elegiac tone and sensitive tough guy steez rubbed me the wrong way. didn't buy into a single character and ended up rooting for the wolves to tear out the throat of whoever was sharing poignant lessons-my-bastard-father-taught-me around the campfire. oslo, august 31st was grim, this was just some nonsense.
― space dokken (Edward III), Monday, 1 October 2012 19:39 (eleven years ago) link
oslo was very sad but not grim imho
― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Monday, 1 October 2012 20:03 (eleven years ago) link
i guess i have pretty low expectations when it comes to action movies, and i liked it because it was all people and animals and nature vs machines and cars and explosions.
― these albatrosses have no fear of man (La Lechera), Monday, 1 October 2012 20:05 (eleven years ago) link
And an awesome plane crash. I totally wanted the wolves to win too.
― Jeff, Monday, 1 October 2012 21:40 (eleven years ago) link
I liked the Grey too, but there should have been more running and punching wolves and less tiresome campfire scenes.

Oslo, August 31st was my joint favourite film of last year. I recommend it to everyone.

any recs for good horror films on Netflix? watched The Innkeepers last night and it was solid.

morning glory was pretty horrifying
― balls, Saturday, 6 October 2012 22:33 (eleven years ago) link
yes, consulting my Bad Review Log woulda helped u there

Morning Glory pretty instructive on how much civilisation has declined since Broadcast News. Rachel McAdams not without her charms though.

dunno if it's been covered already and still up there but pontypool was a good horror
― fauxmarc, Monday, 8 October 2012 19:59 (eleven years ago) link
Aye, that's in the queue. I don't watch a lot of horror anymore so I figured October was a good month to catch up.
― Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Monday, 8 October 2012 20:24 (eleven years ago) link
Whenever Pontypool is mentioned, I have to reiterate that it's one of my favorite movies, horror or otherwise, in years. Though obviously, if you follow the horror threads, some folks hate it or don't buy it or don't get it.

I don't even remember that! But iirc I fell asleep on the couch for part of the movie.
― controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Tuesday, 9 October 2012 00:25 (eleven years ago) link
Whatever happened to that Sky Captain director? Does he just hang with Shane Carruth in the gifted home movie maker locked out by Hollywood club?
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 9 October 2012 00:27 (eleven years ago) link
Carruth worked on Looper.

Quite enjoyed Pontypool. Keep horror recs coming if anyone can. Trying to cram a bunch in this month. I've seen very little.
