My pieces are really about my reaction to films rather that about the films - except whe I try to point to significant moments.<BR/>Hopefully this compliments your longer reviews and some of the many things written about the movies elsewhere on the web. I have another viewing of L'ECLISSE set for tonight...hopefully it won't involve another bout of sleeplessness.Weavermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09833233577048591427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843634353855656183.post-87024167400892530532008-04-19T18:02:00.000-07:002008-04-19T18:02:00.000-07:00"Worms your way into your mind" is probably the pe..."Worms your way into your mind" is probably the perfect description of this movie. Maybe that's the reason (as well as everything else you said about the film) that I have been unable to find the words to talk about this extraordinary movie. I particularly love the fact that you rewatched it, were bewilderingly unimpressed and the film WOKE YOU UP later. This is exactly it's quality; it somehow invisibly works its way into your mind and packs a wallop without showing you exactly HOW it's doing that. Since I haven't watched the movie in about a month, it's probably about time I watched it AGAIN and maybe took a stab at it. Your writing about L'ECLISSE, despite its brevity, really struck at the heart of the matter and reawoke the niggling, insinuating ghost of the film inside my brain once again. Who knows. . .maybe this time I'll find some words.Cerptshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788317865445255338noreply@blogger.com
