does one really need much else besides a lovely japanese companion, a futon and a stratocaster? iggz had the right idea. clip from the repo man criterion collection release. by sv

nymphomaniac
newly released still from lars von trier’s upcoming film, nymphomaniac starring once again, ms. charlotte gainsbourg. i thoroughly enjoy their collaborations i must say, and the juxtaposition of her soft voice and demeanor with the viciousness of her characters. this one looks as if it will continue down that road, read more about it here. by sv

maybe there is a beast, maybe it’s only us…
a glimpse into what would happen if we ran our own country? oh william golding and your acute perception of human nature. sucks to your ass-mar. by sv
amour
whether you are in love, want to be, once were, or never were…you should go see this film. if you are a mortal human being, or perhaps a demi-god gracing the rest of us with your presence, you should also go see this film. michael haneke, thank you. by sv
new york, new york
last winter i went to see ‘shame’ in the theaters, and despite the rampant nudity, glory holes, and sexual innuendos projecting off the screen—this fully clothed and melancholy rendition of the city namesake tune is what stuck in my head. i am currently mad at new york, and have been surrounding myself with city related tunes in order to mediate those feelings. not especially a huge carey mulligan fan, but this tear sodden version will be on many playlists for years to come. by sv
terry and chris
i have been a fan of terry gilliam since i was kid, watching monty python with my dad and being completely intrigued by the surreal animations and gags. the man has to be brilliant, to be a funny-looking art student from minnesota and get completely encapsulated and accepted by the python crew as not only their youngest but only american member. we all know gilliam’s ode to la jetee is twelve monkeys, the 90’s film exploring time travel and the dreams/visualizations of a prisoner. the film is quite predictable, but it’s worth a watch if for nothing else but madeleine stowe’s lovely face and brad pitt’s neuroses. anyway, here is terry praising the paragon director, chris marker. notwithstanding all the love in this post, my favorite part has to be his tintin sweater! by sv
and then…he licked me!
leos carax’s short from the film tokyo also featured MERDE and his foolish shenanigans. take a peek at some of them here, but most certainly watch the entire short if you have the chance. i saw it in the theater, and have been laughing ever since. by sv
