Hmm, I was planning to see that one soon. But if the sex is not up to scratch, well .....? :wink:
I've read interesting reviews of
The Magician. Anyone seen it?
Olga, petal, I
would see it. The photography of the Hawkesbury is just magic....
Just -- there is this bit where the leads do a bit of horizontal folk-dancing. Fine, but it doesn't really add much to the movie as such...
Ah, I might make that my next one then! Thanks for the recommendation.
S'Ok hun. Gotta run! These slices of web-life are MIGHTY thin lately.......
Here's hoping for a renaissance of Australian film.
I don't understand. I mean,
Oyster Farmeris a fairly new film, right? I thought I'd see it this weekend but it's not playing anywhere in central Melbourne. Surely it couldn't have been & gone already?
Oy! Just saw "Look Both Ways".
Loved it.
Oy.
What did you think of the animation segments?
Hmmm, a bit tricksical at first, but then made sense.
I was really impressed with how she (Watt) used animations to show how the characters were feeling or responding to particular situations. A couple of episodes really startled me & made me jump. And I loved how the they showed that the two main characters had relaxed after their first sexual experience. (I think his cancer went into remission while her dreadful forebodings eased considerably. Nice touch!
)
Lol.
Nah, he had chemo and the lot.
He seemed to go into remission after that, but I am not sure.
There were certainly nice things happening, then the camera stopped taking shots, so I do not think the remission necessarily lasted...
I don't think it actually happened, either.
Just took him (mentally) back to how he was feeling before he discovered he had cancer. Momentarily stopped his panic. The bad cells sort of receded in the animation. A really nice moment in the film.
Yes, indeed.
I was with Helen, my friend who has just had more cancer surgery.
Oh. I'm wondering how she responded to that character's situation?
Thought it very accurately portrayed, in terms of emotional reactions etc.
Chick-flick!!

Ah, go pursue whatever coffee whores may truly exist.

What a strange reaction. I don't think it was a chick-flick at all.
