"Strawberries" is to use the old metaphor, like a good wine, more the years passes more it gets better. Every time I see it, and every time I am baffle, how can a film be so true.
From the innocent spectator I turn now over the years to the old professor...

You know, I don't mind the "Lord of the Rings" -type films for what they are - an amusement park ride of sensations, not something to intellectualize. BUT - they must be offset by truly artistic efforts. The scale has become much too tilted toward inanity.
And you know, Patrick, there are those who would say that if we don't hold "Strawberries" and "Titanic" as equals, we're just old-fashioned.

  You see it is not only a way to intellectualize, but it is the lasting impression, the deepness of the thoughts here involved, that makes the difference.
  The kind of the LOTR�s and co are just boring, that is my main grief, loud and brutal, digital in the hard way, they don�t let you reach any shores, but you know that.
  But there also those who won�t even think of comparing, old fashionned or not.
  In Strawberries we find fundamental truths.
  And so much more.

    What do you do with societies that deny there are even such things as "Universal Truths"? You give them Michael Moore and Britney.

      I just read an interview with Woody Allen stating that M. Moore�s Fahrenheit is a GOOD film.
      Oh boy, now I am down...

        But, I would chalk it up to temporary insanity brought upon by political passions. I would like to think that the judges at Cannes suffered from the same malady.

        Yes, before the French suffered from " La Maladie d�Amour " now it is the politic....
