Not in Danish, hahaha... I think the word you're looking for is "knull" which is the Norwegian word for "knald" or "fuck"

Hmmm... "ikke" is a variant of "no" but "pokke" means nothing. Do you mean "ikke gokke"? That means "no wanking".

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

i remember some girl, someone being hit by a car, then visiting the hospital... there was a band playing in the hospital (background music) and the girl was listening to walkman... i can't remember anything about the story though

It's probably "Elsker dig for evigt"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315543/

can't remember, possibly. open hearts?

anyone happen to have seen this?

i keep talking about it (and not just on here) but it seems like no one has seen it. i thought it was absolutely amazing. moodysson is a fantastic director... lilja 4-ever is such a powerful film.

Fucking Amal was great, havent't seen A Hole in My Heart yet. Agreed, Moodysson is wonderful.

I would like to recommend

The Fall - directed by Tarsem Sigh

one of the most visually stunning films i have seen

Here are some examples ( all locales are real)

The DVDBeaver review of that had some *very* nice-looking screenshots. Think I might try to catch that film...

here's that review

didnt he do the cell? that kind of make me a bit weary...

Sure, also did Deep Forest videos back in the day. The guy is really wonderful for visuals(even The Cell, that famous horse scene, for instance)

yeah its the same guy , i havent seen The Cell yet . heard mixed reviews but i am planning on checking it out

is it worth watching ??

I've heard lots of good things about this movie. Should I buy/download it?

oh, there no doubt hes great when it comes to visuals., but judging from the cell hes not so great in other aspects.

i think he did rems 'losing my religion' video..

It's worth seeing, but more for the visuals than the story.

Just saw 'Mad Detective' by Johnny To & Ka-Fai Wai. The premise of the story is a little goofy but I was surprised how much I liked it. I'm becoming more of a fan of To's stuff with each movie he makes. He's done some really good crime films lately. Think Scorsese if he'd been born in China and obsessed with the Triads instead of the Mafia. I love his visual style too, you can tell he was influenced by Robert Altman's 70's era stuff. Filmed from a distance, sort of documentary style camera work, where most of the lighting seems fairly naturalistic. I love that stuff.

The directing team did another good one a few years ago called 'Running on Karma'.

just seen Aguirre, Wrath Of God by Werner Herzog http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068182/

i'm intruiged, are there any more Herzog films i should check out?

i've also been hearing a bit about Béla Tarr: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0850601/

i heard he takes very VERY long and beautiful shots (sounds a bit like Tarkovsky)

and he even made a movie that lasts 7 hours

is he worth checking out?

Heh, we seem to get these threads about once a month now. If Aguirre hit the spot and you really liked Kinski, I'd go with Fitzcarraldo as your next pick.

If you wanted something a bit more humane, I'd go with "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser" or "Stroszek"

Personally, I'm hugely fond of his earliest films (in black and white), "Signs of Life" and "Even Dwarves Started Small" I also liked "Heart of Glass"

The ones that are more forgettable for me are Nosferatu, Woyszeck, and Cobra Verde.

His documentaries are a whole other area to explore, if you like docos.

the fall is visually stunning, i couldnt get into the story, i really wanted to but it just didnt work which was a shame, could of been something really special.

I bought it a while ago cause it was in the "Kino Kontrovers"-series that Irreversible was in too. I didn't like it so much though... but given that I don't speak the original language, I've only seen a dub and I imagine conversations and speech are most important for this film, so I can't really judge. I might have a different opinion about it by now too.

I remember how the scene where the boy shows her his music was sadly familiar "you're not gonna like it" - "aw come on, don't say that, just show me!" - "ok here you go" - " . . . And THAT'S what you listen to? Noo, don't like it at all."

I agree that The Cell has some really amazing visuals and even some things that satisfy me as an old dream-fanatic, but then there were other aspects that were just bad. The horse-scene isn't actually an original idea.

The film should have been a lot smaller and without the Lopest, it could have been brilliant...

- even dwarves started small

- the enigma of kasper hauser

- strozeck

- nosferatu

- fitzcaraldo

- heart of glass

all essentials in my mind

hey takeshi - is that mishimas severed head in your avatar?
