Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Oh okay, I've seen that (and liked it very much). The teacher is basically playing himself--he's a former teacher and the movie is based on his novel.

Hey. New board.
I found it rather painful, especially when my dad, afterwards, said "I hope your students act better than that!" to which I could only reply: "Oh, mine are WAY worse."
It may have been part of my decision to leave urban public schools.
It was a good movie, though.

The Class is by Laurent Cantet, and it is indeed an amazing movie. Cantet's one of the best working today.

Meanwhile, I'm trying to watch I pugni in tasca (Fists in the Pocket) in preparation for Bellocchio's Vincere tomorrow, but I just can't get into it.

Never seen it! I'm watching Ophuls' Lola Montes right now. Ah, so sumptuous.

I'm watching the director's cut of Hot Taco on a Cold Night. The Proustian beauty and chiaroscuro are stunning.
