The Passion (original title in Hungarian: Szenvedély) is an adaptation, probably the best one (the uploader’s humble opinion) of James M. Cain’s crime novel: The Postman Always Rings Twice. You might not agree with this but I’m sure it can be matched to Visconti’s Obsession or to the Bob Rafelson’s work preserving the original title of the book.Read More »

If you have ever wanted to know what it feels like to be a hormonal 14-year-old boy with homosexual leanings, this puts you there. Loosely composed of tender narrative episodes and hallucinatory waking dreamscapes, it follows Logan, an androgynous California loner whose head is perpetually in the clouds. Much of the time our heads are in the clouds with him, following his fevered masturbatory fantasies, his obsession with mountain lions and his tentative friendship with an older boy named Rodeo. An element of jeopardy creeps in when Logan tries to engage Rodeo on a sexual level by calling him for phone sex in the guise of a woman.Read More »

PLOT: Cocteau takes the viewer on a tour of a friend’s villa on the French coast (a major location used in Testament of Orpheus). The house itself is heavily decorated, mostly by Cocteau (and a bit by Picasso), and we are given an extensive tour of the artwork. Cocteau also shows us several dozen paintings as well. Most cover mythological themes, of course. He also proudly shows paintings by Edouard Dermithe and Jean Marais and plays around his own home in Villefranche.Read More »

From the IMDB:
26 Bathrooms is a witty, light little film that must be seen by those who appreciate Greenaway’s darker, more allegorical works. Simultaneously satiric and celebratory, the lighter side of his humanism washes through this quirky quasi-documentary of our most fundamental bodily needs and the spaces we create to fulfil them.Read More »
