Now that you have set the tone, perhpas I can do it here as comment.<BR/><BR/>Even I found myself agreeing with Bergman's view on Citizen Kane. If it hadnt been an American movie, it would have never got this much of fame. One just needs to watch Fritz Lang's 'M' (Germany, 1931) to realize the pathbreaking moviemaking techniques that Lang used 10 years before Welles came up with his Kane.<BR/><BR/>I quiet enjoyed Tarkovsky's 'Sacrifice' but had a difficult time with the much acclaimed 'Mirror'. Its not my type of movie...doesnt suit my sensibilities. You may call it 'inability'.<BR/><BR/>On the French guys, give me a Trouffat over a Godard, anyday. Though, I dont agree with Bergman on Godard.<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen many Fellini to give my opinion in fullness. 8 1/2 is phenomenal stuff and classic forever!<BR/><BR/>The three American directors mentioned are really good and promising and I always look forward to more from them.merajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648109677002961446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34841000.post-34705583493138175612007-08-06T10:04:00.000+05:302007-08-06T10:04:00.000+05:30Yes, maybe some of his comments, such as the one a...Yes, maybe some of his comments, such as the one about performances in citizen kane and the undue acclaim it has got are true, but that doesn't take make it absolute rubbish. You don't have to put something down so much just because you feel it is getting undue appreciation.<BR/><BR/>About andrei Rubiyev, I do have the movie with, but other than some real gems such as the terrific sequence of the horse struggling to get up, I was unable to connect to it, probably in the same way as The Grand Inquisitor in Brothers... It talks a bit too much about religion and the bible and I'm not very well-versed with that nor do i find it very interesting.vishalc2005@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989001304496006545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34841000.post-69217100249653258192007-08-06T09:53:00.000+05:302007-08-06T09:53:00.000+05:30I don't know if i can appreciate this as being 'ho...I don't know if i can appreciate this as being 'honest'.
