In memory of those we lost in the past years... this dedication is to you, the eccentrics, the free thinkers, people who made a difference in our lives both in the real world and on the net.Thank you for the memories.

I can do upside down chocolate moo things!
Steven Spielberg.Foreign language is a relative concept, you know.
But I'll bite anyway.Milos Forman is a favourite of mine. Brilliant director.Polanski, of course. Interestingly, I find his English-language films to be his best, with my favourite being Frantic. I'm probably the only one to think that.There's a Russian director named Andrey Zvyagintsev who made a film called The Return, ten years ago. Great film, fabulous cinematography.And there are others, but most of them aren't current.
Tarkovsky is a bit boring at times, tbh. I like some of his work but fucking hell, somebody should have told him to employ an editor. Stalker is an orgy in long-windedness without meaning. Beautiful images but it felt like the bloody thing would never end.

Andrei Rublev and Battleship Potempkin being two of the best films ever made imho.

It seems to be a common theme in Slavic narrative. It is a method also employed by the Czech master, Frantisek Vlacil.
