Wednesday evening, I screened "Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo" for my father. Fascinating to see Mifune and Katsu acting together in many scenes, even if the script was a tad scattered at times. Prior to that, I viewed the most recent Jim Jarmusch film, "Only Lovers Live Forever" which I found to be a tad disappointing. Maybe I was pre-suckered by film reviews comparing it to "Dead Man" and "Ghost Dog."
You have good taste in film -- even if I can't find myself enjoying Jarmusch films as much as I'd like.
Just watched Hotel Budapest after giving Wes Anderson's one-movie-made-several-times a long break. Was pleasantly surprised at the maturity and shift.
Thanks, I like Jarmusch, but "Dead Man" is the only film of his that I'm crazy about. "Ghost Dog" is pretty good, however, and it does capture the better half of the samurai ethos quite well.
The only Wes Anderson film I've seen is "Darjeeling Express" which I found to be enjoyable, but not especially profound. Which do you prefer, the "ensemble" style of Anderson, or Robert Altman?
I tend to gravitate to art-house, indie, foreign and documentary films. Not normally much impressed with big studio releases, but "Gravity" and especially "Inception" are two such films from recent years which I loved...looking forward to Chris Nolan's "Interstellar" which is out in November.
