Miscellaneous Movie Musings

9 was visually quite a treat.

The ending was thought provoking but as Lani and I discussed it after the fact it seemed to fall apart so now it seems faux though provoking but maybe I missed something.

Unfortunately, much of the 80 minutes is just a sequence of chase set pieces and really rather dull.

==

Unintentionally watched La Matriarca (The Libertine) a 1968 Italian sex romp comedyish thing. A young window finds the apartment her husband kept for the fun kinky sex you just don't have with your wife and decides she wants some of that too and the rest is an exploration of various kinks and fetishes until she finds her own. Comedically bad dubbing, attractive actress. Not much worth watching.

Definitely not Johnny Depp's The Libertine which is what I'd thought I put on my Netflix queue.

Based on your plot description, I just may have to be the judge of that.

Consider yourself fortunate for the mistake. Even if your incorrect choice were the second worst movie EVER made.

As for Tarantino's I.B., it's my hands-down favorite movie of the year, and I didn't for an instant feel any sort of revenge-fantasy. I'm a jew, and that wasn't an inkling's part of the fun for me. I have no idea if that was even supposed to be part of the movie's pleasures. I found so many besides that, I don't even care if it misfired on that particular score.
