    Chronopolis is an AMAZING piece of film work, and something I feel privileged to have in my collection. It rests very high on my list of favorite animation works and is just barely edged out by the short films of Harry Smith as a contender for top o' the list. I have, for some time, been trying to track down some more of the mysterious Piotr Kamler's other work with no luck. I am seriously entertaining the idea of attending a major touring exhibition of Polish animation and experimental film that is playing in Toronto and Cincinnati in the next few weeks, both within driving distance for me. One of my primary motives is being able to view the works of Piotr Kamler that are featured. It's a hard sell, but I'm trying to talk another film-buff buddy of mine into making it an excuse for a road trip to Toronto. Wish me luck!

  RD was ok, but not nearly the classic PF has become.

  I don't believe it, somebody likes Monsieur Hire and Bitter Moon!

  Hire fascinated me and Sandrine Bonnaire absolutely melted the camera down. As for Bitter Moon, I winced through most of the movie. Its dark humor was crippling to its characters. Peter Coyote went into my "Evil Men" hall of fame. He was great.

    Polanski made Bitter Moon after a novel by the French writer/philosopher Pascal Bruckner. The novel is very good and has a different ending. And, yes, Coyote was great in the movie. Bitter Moon and Knife in the Water are the only Polanski movies I like.

    Hire is indeed a fascinating movie, it is Patrice Leconte's best film.

      I wouldn't put The Bitter Moon anywhere near the Knife... I thought it was one of the worst, cheapest films in years.

        Knife is really great. Once Polanski left Poland his movies started to suck. The Pianist for example is a disaster. Bitter Moon is an exercise in dark humor. A playful and yet masochistic movie.

  Highly personal and very interesting. I've only seen about half of the films on your list but, of all I have seen there is not a bad choice in the bunch.
