ejp626 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Fassbinder's Veronika Voss - starts out more or less Sunset Blvd. but then add morphine addicts. I think it's fair to say it ends as a neo-noir. I'm struggling to think if there is a single Fassbinder film that has a happy ending. Ali: Fear Eats the Soul has a somewhat ambiguous ending that could be taken as positive. And that's as close as he gets to an uplifting film, I think... Quote
Ken Dryden Posted April 5 Posted April 5 I bought this DVD awhile back and need to get around to watching it. The original French film is supposed to be far better than the US remake "Sorcerer," which probably would have benefited from keeping the original title, instead of using the name of one of the two rickety tracks used in the remake.

ejp626 Posted April 6 Posted April 6 I went to the theatre to see Apocalypse Now. I assumed it was the original but it was the 3 hour Final Cut! I enjoyed it. A lot of people say it hits the sweet spot between the original release and Redux. The trip up the river takes even longer, but I think that makes sense when you think about the source material (Heart of Darkness). Quote
