Breaking With Old Ideas - standard film from China of this era. It is about a backwards village that the party tries to "revolutionize." It shows how they set up the apparatus in each area to get to the people. An interesting time capsule from China of this era. The Irony of Fate - a man and woman stumble upon one another on New Year's Eve. Love begins to bloom but it is tinged with sadness. This is one of those sentimental films. It was pretty meh but the acting and camerawork was decent.

That review is really harsh but I do get a bit of what it's saying. The cinematography of the film was absolutely beautiful but story wise it didn't really flow smoothly. It didn't "feel" very much like a Welles film at all. I imagine if he had finished the film it would look quite a bit different. That said, they did do well based off of what they had to work with. Also I find the "satire" comment a little off base. The film within the film is a satire of Antonioni who was definitely still an important figure in film at the time. Same for the other post-Hayes directors of the new Hollywood generation that it is parodying and satirizing. Also the other film critics and biographers from Welles' own life that he was taking aim at. On that angle, I think it works.

Yeah, this one is even more outrageous. Having it sing show tunes was an odd touch that was unfortunately not in the original.

I saw this one. The first part is a bit slow but that ending will certainly make you cry. Very moving and beautiful film.

Le sexe qui parle - This film is a very dirty sex comedy/ adult film. In this film, a woman executive is unhappy with her married life. After sleeping with her husband she discovers that her "female part" has got a voice of its own and won't shut up even when in very uncomfortable situations. At the end of the film her husband catches whatever disease she has and his body part gets a voice of its own too! This film was remade in America as the English language film "Chatterbox!" This film is available on various sites online.

Battle of Chile - This documentary follows the last days of Salvador Allende as he was ousted from power by the US backed Pinochet. His funding for this film was frozen after Pinochet took power so he was funded in part to complete it with money from Chris Marker in France. This is a good, informative documentary that shows the unrest in the last days. The full trilogy has been on TCM before.

Yeah, I'm a younger person and I started drinking coffee as a teenager with my grandmother. It was her favorite drink.

Just make sure the fish hook isn't in the left side of his face!

Profound Desires of the Gods - This film is like an odd combination of "The Hills Have Eyes" and Yasujiro Ozu. An inbred, r_tarded family lives on an island and are hated by the rest of the island when a visiting businessman comes. Their goal is to get him to destroy a rock that is important to them to get on the good side of the rest of the island and please the Gods they believe in which reminded me of Ozu's films of that period. One major theme of the film is that of the backwards, superstitious ways of the islanders vs. the modern ways of the businessman. The color green is a recurring visual theme throughout the film which is ironic as in Japanese culture it represents "fertility" which contrasts with the severely inbred family. This was a good film albeit a little too long. It really could have done with trimming a few scenes off and not missed much in the terms of plot advancement. Overall, I give the film a 6/10.

Not a female but as actors go, it was a popular rumor that Creighton Hale starred in a very early "adult" film called Getting His Goat/ the Goat Man. I have looked everywhere but can't seem to find the film online though. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0253393/?ref_=tttr_tr_tt

Have you seen any of the director's other films? If so you might like it.

The Beast - A woman whose father died is now heading to the estate of her soon to be groom. When she gets there she starts having odd visions of a creepy beast like creature. This film borders the line between art film and X rated smut. I haven't seen this one in a while but I remember enjoying it. This is by the director Walerian Borowczyk known for having some of the sensual content in his films.

They Fought For Their Motherland - War movie from Bondarchuk. The plot to this is similar to other Russian war movies like the Dawns Here are Quiet and the the Star. A group of Russian soldiers fight against advancing Germans on their own territory knowing full well they may not survive. This one has some cool war scenes and action scenes. If you're interested in war films I recommend this one.

Looks a helluva lot cooler than the actual 2015.

The netflix film does not have Cummings in it and ends with some phallic imagery, not what you described.

What 2018 movie was she in? IMDB only lists the Simpsons and some other TV show.

Yeah, I'm wondering if maybe he was banned so that's why he made a new account. His account doesn't say he's banned though.

Antique (2008) Next: "comedy" movie that didn't make you laugh once

Radon played by Kôji Uruki in "Ghidorah, the Three Headed Monster"

The Women Next: Ghidorah, the Three Headed Monster

Those are all way, way less "experimental" than Other Side of the Wind. It's an enjoyable film if you're into experimental films but it's not everyone's cup of tea.
