Audition

This is outrageously spectacular! Though it is full-on  Japanese horror

Starts out with a seemingly modern tale of a mature, single-man in search of romance. And gradually, slowly it descends into the dark depths of perverted subconscious you can imagine. And then it sinks a little bit deeper in to what must be the Japanese subconscious. Gorey in the extreme.

Dogtooth

This is unreal as distinct from surreal. I didn't care for it at all.

In the Mood for Love

This is spectacular.

A gentle story told with beautiful sensitivity  and such a profound sadness.

Primer

I think I need to watch this again or maybe I just was not concentrating.

It felt that it was good but I'm not entirely sure why nor barely what it is about. Of course, when you start messing with time that's the sort of thing that happens in your head; cleverly these guys made it happen on the screen.

The American Friend

Terrific film with a seriously edgy Dennis Hopper.
The normality of Bruno Ganz and his domestic life in Hamburg deteriorates rapidly descending into the surreal. Some spectacular scenes; terrific performances all round!

Naked Lunch

The book is hard to read and the film isn't much easier.
Even normality seems surreal; perhaps that is where Burroughs was at.

Lake Tahoe

Really liked this one. 

I find it hard to really believe that I live on the same planet, in the same time that this film records.
