Re: To Victor & others - if "Virgin Suicides" is good, then where do we place "Faithless"?

As I was a little tired from my buisness trip and as always to quick I missed a part...
So now let´s get me the thing straight.
- I do not consider all old classic stuff for good! Only the one who stand the test of time! from Hitch ( take "Shadow of a Doubt" to Orson´s " Rosebud " to Ford´s " Chevauchée fantastic" to Blake Edawards " Victor Victoria " to To be or not be " Lubitsch masterpiece( Whos has now such an humanity and sophistication, sex and charm, the perfect Champagne..yes WHO ? ) Bergmann´s oeuvre to capra idealism and love, to some of the William Whyler as " the Westerner to Billy Wilder´not all so consistent but when like a Vienness waltz to Kurosawa and Abel Gance to Cukor´s perfect surface( never going deep...only the surface...but how baby how! ) and all the rest of them.
LIKE IN ALL art, what is too much attached in the time they have been made will fail as having no vision for the past nor the future . Good things endure.
Of course we have the Frears and the kasdan ( who never fully delivered ) and Malden whose " Shakespeare in love " was so lovely...Newell´s work is mostly good so some of Lars and so on...
BUT the time of goodd film and good acting is over, quality all around you is only but luxury, and even high price will not guaranty it to you.
We live in a society whose level is so low than you can only wonder.
Your old fart.

PS: Faithless I did not see, as I read some very bad review..but now it is time to make my own judgement, so I ordered it.
Comment to come.
