In Reply to: The Dreamers posted by rhizomatic on March 18, 2004 at 13:28:34:
As I wrote before, I found it irritating in the extreme, the pointless attempts by an old director to bring his lost sexuality back... or to feel it through the experiences of the younger bodies.
Follow Ups:
of a young babe climbing all over ya Outside. I will say this: the Siddharta effort was pathetic---with Keanu as Buddha, it should have been a comedy. And the dumb other one about some young thing on a hill in Italy...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Robert Altman seems to have aged better...
Hey, come to think of it, Kubrick's last was along those similar lines....young, lusting bodies.
I didn't think there were clear parallels between the Dreamers and EWS - with Kubrick's work being sooooooo incredibly puzzlingly weak it defied any comparisson.Sexual obsession in old farts is never a pretty sight, and the aging directors would be best advised to ignore those hot subjects. Audio designers are different beasts, they retain their unbriddled sexuality well past their 90-ties, and the babe in question was... was... well, she was THERE... how's THAT for a reason?
But going back to comparisson between the two, if I had to take one with me to that darn island, it would be the Dreamers, since the EWS is simply too boring. There is glimps of art in the Dreamer, and as I stated before - the subject of the movie lovers is dear to me, but... man, this is difficult, as I recall the scenes from the Dreamer I get that sensation as if I just swallowed a frog... so perhaps I should stop here.
