Re: Linda Manz

I'm gonna watch this today! I'll post my thoughts in this thread once I have. Change of plans? I didn't realize I had a really low-quality version of the movie with terrible sound, so it was unwatchable. I stopped after about 10 minutes. However, I found a better quality version just recently so ho...

Gance's Napoleon may look a bit daunting at first (it's five hours long) but I found that pretty riveting. The focus, obviously, is not the revolution as such, but it is about the revolution. Re: Daunting... The only reason I saw it when I did is because the night before I had a dream in which I wa...

Granted, I haven't seen many, but after hours of searching I've yet to find something I can be enthused about. Danton looks watchable, but other than that, what is there?
