On the BETTER films

Roald Dahl's Hansel and Gretel end up shoving their witch in the oven in charming rhyme. Yim Pil-Sung's pair become three and have retained their house, biddable parents and food. Korean cinema can be rambling, this is. More importantly it is beautiful. And more importantly, it is shocking. The Kafkaesaque confusion meets horrid-friendly Dickensian orphans and secrets reminiscent of the French Martyrs.
HANSEL AND GRETEL (헨젤과 그레텔)

DOGTOOTH (Κυνόδοντας)
The Marquis de Sade singing a song about The Inferno in the costume of sexualised Italian fascism.
SALO OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM (Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma)
Everyone's pretty ugly, Northern and working class. Minor criminals get stabbed and poisoned. Don't fuck with veterans? Morality of the knife? Beware of kettles. Man's best friend is his brother. 
DEAD MAN'S SHOES
It is a pun. This reminds me of the England of my grandparents in the late nineties and early two thousands. All that blue and speaking pleasantly. Home counties. Lovely brass telescope. Far better than American Psycho.
HOW TO GET AHEAD IN ADVERTISING
We arrive dead. Our fate is sealed. The youngest teacher is very beautiful. Men, generally, are peadophiles.
INNOCENCE
It opens with abuse. Honestly, the abuse carries on. And, some how, they thought Kirsten Stewart? New Wave French Extremity's most sweetly polished and enjoyably scripted offering. Oh and its horrible.  
MARTYRS
THE LIBERTINE
Z.-Z., L. and I allowed this lovely film (from an awful novel) to influence us rather. 
THE DREAMERS
Apparently all the midgets (who played the munchkins) had orgies etc in their funny little encampment. They were from all over the world and has a laissez-faire sexual outlook. Oh and one of them is reputed to have hung himself.
THE WIZARD OF OZ
SOME LIKE IT HOT
SLEEPING BEAUTY
DUCK SOUP
PARIS TEXAS
MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO
