Breaking my Tears

Why cant every film maker take a page from the book of Lars Von Trier. This guy makes films. When you watch one of his works and then watch a hollywood film its like going from War and Peace to See Spot Run. Actually no thats wrong, Spot is actually pretty decent for its genre but this guys has the power to shake you up like nothing else. We watched Breaking the Waves last night, its hard to watch at times, its gutwrenchingly depressing but it is so withought using cheap gimmicks i.e. music etc... Its just a really well told sad tale. The way he incorporates his views about the church are awesome (Calvinism is nuts) and just ride the fine line of exactly what they should be. A shade too much either way and its garbage.

Checked out an old Spanish comedy as well by Almodovar. Tie me up Tie me down is pretty funny at times but not one of his best. Antonio Banderas is in it and he actually is pretty good but he is still working up to his recent marvels back here in 1990.
