So who here has seen

[Islandmur]

Tideland?

the legend of 1900?

Can't say I've heard of either of those two. :(

I've heard of both but seen neither. Tideland I'm more interested in because I generally think Terry Gilliam is a fascinating guy and director. He made one of my favorite sci-fi films ever in Brazil, but he's been more inconsistent after that. From Tornatore I saw and disliked Cinema Paradiso, though I seem to be one of the few that did. Never really been interested in his stuff after that.

They are two completely different genres but both amazingly filmed.

Tideland is a roller-coaster of emotions dark and tragic but somehow still full of life. The story-line is reminiscent of Pan's labyrinth but less "fantasy".

1900 is a hidden gem, simple yet the story is gripping and the imagery is beyond words.

Have you seen The Fall or mirrormask?

[Eva Yojimbo]

Certainly thanks for the recs. I'll add them to my Netflix queue.

Haven't seen The Fall but I did see Mirrormask, mostly because of my love for Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean; the former authored my favorite comic ever, Sandman, and McKean did the covers. Mirrormask a visually fascinating but narrative mess of a film. Still, I'd prefer that over so many others that are much cleaner narrative-wise but visually bland.

Fun Fact: Terry Gilliam wrote the intro to McKean's own graphic novel, Cages. I guess eccentric visual artists tend to find each other.

yeah I forgive narratives a lot if the imagery grabs me.

The Fall was like watching a slideshow of paintings.
