In Reply to: Indie films are ruining my marriage! ;-) posted by Aurelio S. on May 31, 2001 at 10:16:26:
One of the all-time most remarkable films. Tons of fun on a shoe-string budget.And... I really don't know why, the the "Montenegro" is forever linked to it in my mind. Simply a tremendous movie, an absolute delight. That one you should be able to buy at your Best Buy on DVD. And man, what a team!
And... any of Dusan Makavejev's films.
I don't know what the indie title means anymore, but if you are looking for wonderful obscure films, then "The Raggedy Rawney" must be on your list, together with such marvels as "The CLosely Watched Trains", and man, soooo many others.... it is incredible how many trully good films are out there, you just start digging and there is no end...
Follow Ups:
I remember this little gem of a movie! First saw it when I was 17ish and couldn't appreciate it (except for Mary Woronov's delectable body ;-)Saw it again years later and absolutely loved it! Sad to hear of Bartel's death last year. I enjoyed his work.
Woronov filled that 17 year old with many nights of wonderful dreams ;-) Wonder what she's up to, now?
I will have to rent this...as I don't think my wife has seen it.
Thanks for the reminder!

"Drowning By Numbers" is another film by the same guy. It's equally weird. The story is about three women who marry, then decide to murder their husbands by drowning them creatively. It's rather artsy and odd. I dug it.
I could swear someone mentioned the Cook... need to pay more attention.
***"Drowning By Numbers" is another film by the same guy.Indeed. And the the thickest, the most dense images ever (forget the "Cook...") see his "Prospero's Books" - if you can sit through it, that is...
you should like La Citée des Enfants Perdus (City of lost children or something like this). It is from the same guy who made Delicatessen with the same weird ambiance to it.

City of Lost Children is an excellent film- elements of Delicatessen but with greater sophistication (and budget)-with the odd looking Dominic Pinon (the hitman from Diva)and Ron Perlman who has great presence.Full of strange characters and a bizarre plot, wonderful special effects and camera work-
Highly recommended.
Don't want to drive that stake completely through the heart. ;-)Using Eating Raoul (which is fine) as a reference, are Delicatessen and La Citee... not for the sqeamish?

And have you seen "A Matter of Taste"? Was it up to your taste?
No... Is the title a translation from a french movie?
Them French...
.
Good work by Bernard Giraudeau, whom we remember from "Passione d'amore", a bizarre story with good performances.
