teorema

for me, it’s pier paolo pasolini’s finest film. the infamous salo was neither shocking or memorable, unless you saw it at the time, in which case it was banned. certainly reactionary and specific to the period, but rather boring now. teorema on the other hand, is a film that seems to live on. it’s beautifully filmed and you can’t really lose with terence stamp in the mix. must see. by dd

Painting With Light

painting with light, a documentary about the life and work of louise dahl-wolfe, 1895-1989. as the first female fashion photographer and a staff photographer for harper’s bazaar from 1936 through 1958.  dahl-wolfe defined the post-war look of american women.  her work is a true inspiration and remains as such today. by kv

the genius of Terry Gilliam : Brazil!

must see film for any sci-fi lover. next to kubrick’s more serious and stylistic 2001: a space odyssey, this is by far my most favorite sci-fi film. the current situation in the world, especially under the past eight years, makes this film a more than ever, important must see. by dd
