They Call Me Trinity.1970..An Italian Spaghetti Western comedy film written and directed by Enzo Barboni (under the pseudonym of E.B. Clucher). Picture quality is terrible...

nosferatu; it was banned and supposedly destroyed but fortunately a few copies remained..classic
Yes, the Bram Stoker estate sued over Murnau's adaptation, but as you say thankfully a few copies escaped - I've seen it several times. Today it would be criticised for suggestions of anti-semitism.Quote:

Description:

Another of my 'deep and meaningful' classics!:D
Marco.
seen that... its not bad for type
Lol - that's do me. Picked up the DVD for a £1 in a charity shop:eyebrows:
Along with a Blu-ray of 'Splice', also for £1: https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf=...63.VBTdcWRJnOM
That'll be next up!|:)
Marco.
Ghost Ship is awful, Splice on the other hand is a good film.Quote:

Never mind, the charity shop benefited from the £1... I'll watch Splice tonight. If it's decent, as you say, then being a Blu-ray, it'll be a Billy Bargain:)
Marco.
I didn't rate Splice too much.
Ghost Ship may have been rubbish, but another ship based movie, Triangle, is worth a look, if you can keep up with the twisty plot.
:ner: but its modern..;) think i got about 10 mins in; maybe 15.... i'll stick to my oldies i said :)Quote:

Trailer:
https://youtu.be/20t_ZSatfME
Description:
Anna is a bereft young German woman whose fiance, Frantz, was killed in the trenches of World War I. Adrien, a French veteran of the war, makes a mysterious appearance in her town, placing flowers on Frantz's grave. Adrien's presence is met with resistance by the small community still reeling from Germany's defeat, yet Anna gradually becomes closer to the handsome and melancholy young man, as she learns of his deep friendship with Frantz.

I rather like these moody/atmospheric, slightly dark French dramas, and which portray a somewhat poignant political message.
Marco.
Ozon makes some thoughtful films. Saw 'Frantz' at my film club - it's the sort of film I like to see: a foreign language film in B&W (well partly in this case).Quote:

No worries. I'm reasonably fluent in French, so will be able to follow it fine. Actually haven't had a chance to watch it yet, as something came up. What did you think of the film overall?:)Quote:
