One of the most emotionally overpowering movies I've ever seen.<br /><br />Like you I'm not nuts about J&J. I go back & forth on it, I always find the first third charming but end up finding Catherine's extremely frustrating flakiness tedious at times.<br /><br />Winter Light I like but probably less than the other 2 in the trilogy. Through a Glass Darkly is by far my favorite.<br /><br />I think every director gets an "8 1/2" rule - can't think of a movie? Make one about not being able to make a movie! Unfortunately I used up my rule when I was 18, haha...Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-24315491946217215112011-10-15T13:03:06.208-04:002011-10-15T13:03:06.208-04:00Great to see you current compilation comprising of...Great to see you current compilation comprising of so many European arthouse classics, as was your last compilation.<br /><br />Unfortunately I've watched just 3 of them, though I have a couple of others like Passolini's Mamma Roma & Godard's Contempt lying with me.<br /><br />1. Jules & Jim - I reasonably liked it, but I'm not as fond of it as I'm fond of some of other Truffaut films.<br /><br />2. Winter Light - brilliant film. In fact, can't seem to decide as to which one among Winter Light & Through A Glass Darkly I'd like to rate highest among Bergman's Faith Trilogy<br /><br />3. 8 1/2 - what a unique and strange movie this was!!! And to think of it, apparently Fellini was actually suffering from director's block before he made this movie.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.com
