Just three bros taking a field trip
Beautiful and poetic. The dialogues and poems could be stand-alones.
Stalker offers the base for a reflexion about what characterizes our thoughts; do we desire what we think and articulate or do we wish for what our mind and body crave?
This pairs with a constant questioning regarding what we can interpret as either religion/cults, politics or social norms.
The Stalker is here shown as a leader whose knowledge and authority (which is…
I think the whole concept and idea for the film was pretty genius but sadly it is just not that good.
They filmed the film in a gibberish language following a script in english, then sent the film to different people that put subtitles in a way that fit what they thought the story was about and in a comical manner. I think I watched Julia Davis version.

« It was in the reign of George II that the above-named personages lived and quarrelled; good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor, they are all equal now »
Not saying anything new here but the most striking thing in this film is the absolute insanity of the photography. Every still could be a painting deserving to be in the Louvre and I am barely being hyperbolic. The lighting when Barry comes to Lady Lyndon in the bathtub???…
