Re: Favorite film viewings of 2009

[michael]

Hi, i found your list interesting. I also saw Bob Le Flambeur, L'atalante
and Le Samurai this year. I did not like Le Samurai especially. I found
L'atalante to be slightly dated.
I saw some of the english titles also, Slumdog millionaire, Cloverfield etc.
Cloverfield suprised me though. It was interstingly made.

I'm trying to like Michel Simon, who is so highly touted by so many.
I've spent years trying to like him. I hope one day I succeed,
understand.

[Avoid normal situations.]

In order of my having gotten to peruse them:

Bonnie and Clyde [first time I ever saw it *not* cut to ribbons for TV]
The Holy Mountain
Boy (Nagisa Oshima)
Rififi
Adam Resurrected
The Human Condition Trilogy
Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages
Fetiche
Grey Wolf & Little Red Riding Hood
Destino (the Dali/Disney animation)
The Fantastic Mr. Fox
