I read the novel by Jean Dominique Bauby a few months back,expecting a lot, and was sorely disappointed. This, to my knowledge, always happens when a work of art depends too much on extraneous factors for it's appeal; factors other than the art itself. For example, this novel's whole premise was that it was written by the author, an ex-advertising creative guy, after he suffered a terrible paralytic stroke. While this is it's main usp, the novel itself, as a standalone, is very ordinary. And in my experience, it's always a downhill journey from the novel to it's film, so i'm not exactly queueing up to see the movie.I liked the diving bell and the butterfly - a french film
@ligerpt:
Tropa de elite seems to have become the next most talked and raved about film from brazil, after the city of god. That's one film that's on my to-see list, thanks for reminding me.
Oldboy, i highly recommended...and in case you're new to korean films, it's not a bad place to start at all. You'll see how far they've left hollywood behind. If you can get your hands on the manga of the same name by Garon Tsuchiya & Nobuaki Minegishi, try to before you see the film. You'll be fascinated at how much inspiration the filmmaker has drawn from the atmosphere of the comic.
Cheers!
