yeah I know the coens work, but I'm not really sure if it's not just entertainment, about photography and artistic talent, I have seen very little of them. I haven't yet seen this last movie.
Jason Reitman, I think I've seen Thank You For Smoking, and seems he's included in the Office, I don't fancy the Office. I gotta see Juno, maybe I'll be able to see his potential.
There's a short film of Sean Penn about 9/11, try to see it, it's fantastic. Yes I like "Curtas" (short films)
ooo, David Lynch, I can recommend the Lost Highway, if you're old enough, try Mulholland Drive, and if you want to see a series of him, they're called Twin Peaks, I'm sure you've heard of it. There's many others, but I think this ones are relevant, Mulholland by being a refined work of concepts explored in his past movies.
Emir Kusturica is a son of the Serbian liberation, he's somewhat free in the wild, his family past and roots and everything influences the stories in his movies. Plus he has a band that plays in all his movies. He makes allegories mostly, based on reality, on horrible things, turning them into happy stories, and they all have "happy endings", as the ending being a dream or hallucination, or just not happening at all, so he shows a dark therapy.
His movies are all about the Balkans, very good, if you want to follow his work, I recommend Underground ('95), it's an allegory of war, shows a city in Yugoslavia since WWII, bombed by the nazi, bombed by the soviets, bombed by the allies, and then bombed by themselves, passing through all the regimes. Get the picture?
Then a very funny movie, it's real superb in comedy, a kind of comedy we aren't used to see in modern times anymore, movie called Black Cat White Cat.
Then a refinement of concepts in a movie called Life is a Miracle, love story entwined in the Bosnia vs Serbia war. It's fantastic, basically it's a refined Underground, being Underground wilder and more surrealistic.
Want to see a work of his band?
