Fahrenheit 451, Francois Truffaut.
I watched it again recently and thought it was very relevant these days when there are so many
cuts on cultural budgets. And of course it’s brilliant use of the word firemen.
Teorema, Pasolini.
Any film of Pasolini could be on this list, but I chose this one.
Guilietta della spiriti, Fellini
Fellini’s first film in colour, with beautiful sets.
Le grande bouffe, Ferreri

the shot of the death meat hanging in the trees… how relevant still!
The mirror, Tarkosvski
I have a friend who got to know the films of Tarkovsky dubbed in Italian! Who makes up things
like that..
Le Mepris, Godard

The trailer might be as brilliant as the film.
Sayad Nova, Colour of pomegranates, Paradjanov,

I do not know any thing like this film. Pure visual poetry.

Why did Romy Schneider get famous with Sissy? She is fantastic in this film.
Woman in the dunes, Hiroshi Teshigahara

The concept is so simple, could be like one for a performance.
Sans soleil, Chris Marker
You can watch it over and over again.
Ben Rivers his films.

In Comparison, Haroun Farocki
a beautiful film about brick production in different countries.
