In Reply to: How does it compare to the Henry Fonda old film or Mikhalkov's? posted by tinear on July 22, 2020 at 09:24:48:
Unlike the old film, that takes place in one room, this one expands well outside the courthouse walls. There is constant interplay between the jurors' personal lives affecting their in-court behavior, and vice versa.
There are also retrospectives.
There is also no identifiable leader, so in some sense it is closer to everyday reality. And of course, as I already mentioned, a very different ending.
Plus, it is 8 or more hours long. We liked it. Ah, and yes, it streams on Netflix.
Yes, I love Tarr, and recently tricked my wife into watching The Man from London - I have seen it before, but enjoyed it.
That Chinese film - where can one see it?
Recently we have been watching many movies on YouTube. We used it before, but this time I realized you could use the internal to smart TV Youtube ap, which makes the whole experience many times better, and gives you very high quality. There are tons of foreign films there, of course many in their native languages.
P.S. Great, found it on Yourtube, in HD, with subtitles!
