Hear hear. I'm with Tag and Nicole on this whole here Wong Kar Wai bit. If you haven't already seen Fallen Angels, go see it now! It's sort of the unofficial "sequel" to Chungking Express (that Faye Wong... gulp!), kinda--even if it does have a Cranberries song... But also rent his "Days of Being Wild"; I guarantee the most amazing opening scene since Touch of Evil, more because of the awesome dialogue exchange--very Belle and Sebastian I must say. I think a connection tween Wong Kar Wai and our beloved pop group is the manner in which the mundane is suffused with overwhelming feelings of nostalgia. Ha! So says the magniloquently verbose s.a.t.-swearing film critic... 'sank yew! francisco ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: afternoon shooting: ink polaroid
by PKHINTZ 02 Apr '98

02 Apr '98

Here is one that was taken of me sitting in the garden. I am uncertain when it was taken--either Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday. Each afternoon I sat in the chair by the rock wall; the only difference would be the height of the tiger lilies in the foreground. The slightly pained expression on my face is because I had had my appendix removed the Friday before this was taken. On Thursday I was stumbling and shambling through my life as usual until I felt a prick pricka in my side; the next day I was in the hospital. My eyes are closed as my head rests against the back of the chair; I wanted the sunshine to fall on me to warm me. Instead the sun forced my freckles out of their winter-hiding. Ah, that is a large book in my lap--it is about the rise and fall of modern art. With the dizzying combination of sunshine and painkillers, the ideas and words of that book bounced from my head onto the ground (but I do not think that they are in the photo). Instead of reading I had taken wagers with myself as to which daffodil would bloom first, or which ant would cross that leaf there, or which cloud would block off the sun's rays. I won the bet each time. Living and loving, Matthew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Subtitles and pleasant surprises

Stylish, moving, lovely photography, >romantic ... dammit, it's got the lot. I think I waffled on about >"Chunking Express" before, but that rules too. Yes Yes Yes, I second both the Wong Kar Wai recommendations. For maximum effect, see Happy Together while you are Sad Alone. (Um, that sounds sarcastic but it's not!) I just missed seeing WKW's Fallen Angels in the theater so will have to try to find it on video. I also recommend another film out of HOng Kong called "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" -- cheesy title, but good film, and somewhat reminiscent of Kieslowski, my favorite director.

Sinister: Re: Brazilian sinister
by Carlos Souza 02 Apr '98

02 Apr '98

Hi John, Sorry for taking so long to answer. First of all I must say that I agree completely with you when you say that B&S lyrics are good poetry. I think that this is the most important quality that they have and it's very important for us to pay atention to the fact that we are suffering from a very dangerous disease nowadays: lack of poetry in our lives. Although everybody says that B&S lyrics/music has just sadness, I don't think I agree with them. So, what do I think about their songs? I think there are melancholy, compassion, beauty in their songs. Their characters are so wonderfully naive, their songs, just like pictures of ordinary lives took by beautiful eyes. Well, that's it.
