Bergman:

The men are impotent; the women are angst ridden and incestuous. Someone dies. No anxieties are resolved.

Girolamo Savonarola, Thursday, 6 May 2004 22:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Kieslowski:

Someone's life is doubled, mirrored, restarted, or duplicated. Sexual humiliation of a man occurs. Van den Budenmayer is heard. Amazing connections between people are made.

Girolamo Savonarola, Thursday, 6 May 2004 23:02 (twenty-one years ago)

russ meyer:

Terry Zwigoff:

middle-aged men are hilarious bitter horny misfits who hate almost everything

Tony Scott:
Zoom! Pow! Bang! Screech! Fin.

Preston Sturges

Love = divorce, ruining three tuxedos, lying and whining, sextuplets,
incarceration, ham and eggs, a kick in the pants, marching bands, remarriage.

The Narwhal, Friday, 7 May 2004 04:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Fellini:
A loner in sunglasses or face paint sleeps around and ends up miserable.

The Narwhal, Friday, 7 May 2004 04:48 (twenty-one years ago)

P.T. Anderson:
In a San Fernando Valley parking lot, people with big penises and blue suits are beaten savagely. Frogs fall from the sky.

The Narwhal, Friday, 7 May 2004 04:52 (twenty-one years ago)

michael cimino:

friendship and courage is tested under extreme durress. drinking and dancing problems away on lavish sets proves unsuccessful. editing out 45 minutes would be wise.

(er, swap "is" for "are", natch)

david lynch:

but did you know that there's a DARK SIDE to suburbia??? DID YOU?!

michael mann:

An existential romantic loner in a very blue room broods to electronic music and there is cool violence at some point. Women? What are they?

David Nolan (David N.), Saturday, 8 May 2004 00:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Michael Bay:

Orange explosion. Cut. Slo-mo leap. Cut. Hero flexing cheek muscles. Cut. Chick in lingerie. Cut. Car - cut - chase - cut.

David Nolan (David N.), Saturday, 8 May 2004 00:09 (twenty-one years ago)

two weeks pass...
John Waters:
Deranged sexual misfits are mean to each other for ninety minutes.
The same summary works for Fassbinder as well.

AaronHz (AaronHz), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 07:07 (twenty-one years ago)

And Sirk.

Girolamo Savonarola, Tuesday, 25 May 2004 21:36 (twenty-one years ago)

right-o. Sirk being a prime influence on both.

AaronHz (AaronHz), Wednesday, 26 May 2004 10:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Scorsese:

Hey! Isn't violence and being a gangster cool? But it's not. Cos people get hurt. But it's kinda secretly cool, eh?

Lynch:

Look at the world subconscoiusly and it doesn't make sense. But in a way, it does... and here's a random scary bloke.

Richard Curtis:

Ummm, yes, love eh? Insert random swearing. Add light satire and Hugh Grant. Isn't life wonderful? Token poignant scene. More love.

Ken Loach:

Life stinks. Vague opportunity for redemption/escape comes along. Miss it. Life still stinks.

Cornelius Murphy, Thursday, 27 May 2004 06:19 (twenty-one years ago)

two years pass...
Zach Braff:

Coldplay Remy Zero Aimee Mann Coldplay Thievery Corp The Shins Coldplay Coldplay love it hurts me

Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 11 September 2006 05:14 (nineteen years ago)

Oops.

Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 11 September 2006 05:16 (nineteen years ago)

ten months pass...

Kubrick: You are going to die alone because you've really always been alone.

Girolamo Savonarola, Saturday, 28 July 2007 09:38 (eighteen years ago)

I suspect I summarized Braff pretty good without ever having seen any of his fillums.

Eric H., Sunday, 29 July 2007 02:16 (eighteen years ago)

No Frou Frou? That totally made the trailer.

Girolamo Savonarola, Sunday, 29 July 2007 03:25 (eighteen years ago)

Tarantino

Not so much a movie as a poster, soundtrack and a series of references to other movies. Uma Thurman or Harvey Keitel are probably in it. Nobody will talk like actual people.

I know, right?, Sunday, 29 July 2007 20:54 (eighteen years ago)

Shit, four words over.

I know, right?, Sunday, 29 July 2007 20:55 (eighteen years ago)

Okay, pile of ass.
