Re: [microsound] movie advice



hi anDre,
quite a nice list : i would advise "the river " by Tsai Ming-Liang : not
that it's about time properly, but time is obviously a main element in the
directing : almost unmoving, static, even the crude remarks of the movie
plot itself seems to dilate and become something else under the way they are
presented. even "the hole" by the same director is worth viewing in my
opinion ... and, on a totally different side, " scent of green papaya " by
Truang Nath Hahn ( hope i got it right ) where time seems to be a cradle,
gently rocking and almost approaching to stillness ...
by the way - i appreciate the arsonore site quite a bit - meant to contact
you about it - will probably do so someday :-)

bye,
paolo
