Films you've watched recently.

Classic films, like classic books, plays and music are never 'dated'. They have a timeless qualty that transcends the year they were made and the conventions of their time.

"Peeping Tom" (1960) I have seen it a number of times and was the first slasher film!
It was "pulled" at cinema at the time and in 2024 is as powerful as ever and it cost director Michael Powell his career.

With films, in terms of writing, structure, filming and editing techniques, imagery, acting etc. aging is most definitely a thing.

Sadly, his career was on the wane before Peeping Tom (the reception of The Red Shoes harmed his career massively). Had his run of great films with EP continued, Peeping Tom would probably have not been made. He did continue working after Peeping Tom in film and some TV, but he never recreated the halcyon days of earlier films.
 
I have just been watching some film clips/trailers of my favourite horror actor Vincent Price.
He appeared in many schlock horror films including "The Tingler"---It was directed by William Castle (the king of cinema gimics)
Here he explains........

Eisenstein knew more about filming techniques than any present day director, as did John Ford, Bunuel, Bergman and countless others. They didn't need computer technology to create cinematic masterpieces rather than glorified video games.

Have you seen (uncut) version) of "Realm Of The Senses"?

Some Bergman are fine--Bunuel is not my cup of tea.

One film that took be a long time to find(to watch online) was "The Goalkeepers Fear Of Penalty"

1) Not seen it and from what I have read about it, not on my shortlist'
2) Bergman is my favourite, so many masterpieces. Have you seen Bunuel's 'Los Olividados'?
3) Early Wenders film which I found heavy going.

No I haven't seen it.
I have seen Belle De Jour and The Exterminating Angel.

When the (uncut version) of "Realm Of The Senses" was shown at The BFI--I was told that the police were there!!

I love "The Red Shoes"---Did it lose a lot of money?

Wrote and directed a fearlture called The Case (which was shot in London and Goa). Had it's prem in Soho's Fox Theatre, went to Cannes... then got shelved in a legal issue between the producer and a couple of the exec producers related to another project. Complicated and very frustrating.

Also directed docs around the med, Brazil, TV drama, shorts, TV commercials and music videos around the med mainly.
