[Kullervo]

An affecting and profound documentary about a one-room schoolhouse in Auvergne, France.

[Lilas Pastia]

Thanks for this, Kullervo. I'll try to watch it.

The title is a play on words: avoir (to have) and être (to be) are the two auxiliary french verbs. All schoolchildren learn them before anything else in grammar.

[Haffner]

In the middle of "Song of Bernadette", and have to get back to it. The Newman score is excellent by itself!

Nice, but not one of his best efforts I think.


Started this one too, but it was too much to take for one evening. I will watch it from the begining again later this week.

That's not bad at all. Autumn Sonata, Fanny and Alexander, Through a Glass Darkly are definitely among my favorites. How good is that scene in Autumn Sonata with the a minor prelude?

Priceless. As I think I told you, no one has equaled that performance IMO. Who was the pianist?

That movie is next on my wishlist for Bergman films.

According to iMDB, a certain Käbi Laretei is the pianist (hopefully Ingrid's version and not Liv's  )
There is a very musical description of the movie (explained in a sonata form) here:

[Papageno]

Speaking of Bergman, what do you think of Troffojten?

I haven't seen it. But it is in my queue near the top. It made its way up slowly but surely  0:)

[Maciek]

Knocked Up.

Enjoyable comedy. Pretty profane though.

Love your avatar!

What I find hilarious is the way Ingrid Bergman complained about having to shoot the scene. She couldn't understand the point. Do we have to do this? The whole Prelude twice? It's going to be so boring!

[Maciek]

Weak.

Absolutely agree! Major disappointment (the film was praised highly here, as it is by a Polish director ).

[Maciek]

Tristana and Viridiana by Bunuel

I always get the 2 confused...

But I remember they were both quite amusing (though definitely no masterpieces).

[Kullervo]

Midnight Express

Pretty ridiculous and often bordering on melodrama, but somehow managed to be entertaining in a pulpy sort of way.

I haven't seen Autumn Sonata yet. Which prelude are you referring to?

Chopin's 2nd (IIR the number C).

[Mozart]

I just watched a movie called Designing Woman, it sucked but had a hot actress Lauren Bacall.

[George]

I haven't seen Autumn Sonata yet. Which prelude are you referring to?

The second one.
