i'm curious to see science of sleep, i saw an interview w/gondry on "the culture show" and it included some clips of the film, it definately looks intriguing.
last night i saw "summer with monika", i think it is a brilliant work, bergman's early stuff usually gets overshadowed, but it's a really interesting classical film, much less radical than "persona" etc etc, but it is a great film about "film" in my opinion, as we see monika obsessing over and projecting herself onto hollywood melodramas and bergman reassures us that this is just a superficial, querky aspect of monika's character but then he destroys that concept with that breathtaking shot where monika stares directly at the camera, watching us watch our film, a fascinatingly nihilistic thing to do in my opinion, where we ask "what are we even watching?" and "what is real?"
i haven't seen a new film for a while, although i did watch "the death of mr lazarescu" (2006) last week and it was hilarious, tense, frustrating, fascinating and brilliant because nothing much actually happens and you know what the outcome will be anyway due to the title so you ask yourself "why am i watching this?", it's fab.
