After EH1812 and Pru's comments above, I think tonight I will watch The Company of Wolves. Dark fantasy, fairy tales... and a nude scene from Danielle Dax.

No, though visually interesting both still sucked.

I LOVE that film and thought of it when Heidi and I ware discussing the broad concept of Pan on IM.

And Danielle Dax is cool.

I think we need to do some folktale readings sometime in the not to distant future. Perhaps combined with a camping trip? or just a quiet gathering of the folklore inclined. Lisa and I have a good collection to chose from.

Attracted and intrigued.

Hopefully we will get to see this tomorrow.

Have you read Angela Carter? I enjoy the movie, but the short stories it's based on? Nothing beats 'em. Great googly moogly, they are good. And get the pulse racing. Mmmmm.

I watched it last night, it fell into the same sort of category as "Dreamchild," or "City of Lost Children" for me. I enjoyed it, but it didn't send me into raptures.

We saw it yesterday and loved it. I was worried at first that the theater audience would ruin the experience - there were scores of murmurs as the film started and people realized that it was in Spanish with subtitles, but the theater quickly grew silent which is probably testament to the power of the story in this film.

Though I probably agree more with EH1812's interpretation, I tend to prefer ambiguity in my films. I think it important to remember when looking at the whole fantasy/reality question, is that it all plays out within the fiction of a film, and in this film there are two different worlds and the inhabitants of each of those worlds view what happens in the end differently.
