"one popular HT demo film" ?
C'mon. Don’t you think it’s too harsh.
After all he made Professional, La femme Nikita and Subway.
He’s not Bergman, but who else is ?
And as if great ones never make a bad films.
Like last Kubrik’s or couple of last Forman’s movies. I’d rather watch 5th Element.
Natalie is just too precious.You are right about the Professional - I forgot. I was not crazy about Nikita, though.
You are right again - he is not Bergman. That is not such great sin, of course.
And as far as the last Kubrick - please don't rub it in.
"One popular HT demo film" should actually read "One unfortunately way too popular HT demo". It was not enough for me to stop watching it. One day bunch of Japanese showed up with, you guessed it, the Fifth... They didn't just watch few scenes, they played them each many times in the row - to gage the system changes.
The torture was unbelievable, I left the room, excusing myself. One can only watch that dreaded segment #26 about 25 times before collapsing.
Why did they have to select one of my favorite operas?
