Finally I got to watch a film this week that Ive been meaning to watch for years ! Well I had always planned on watching the original b/w version but became aware of this version a few months ago . Of course it arrived in the post after a long delay ( from America ) on the full moon . I watched it with a good view of the moon too !
Ive never seen a film like it . Foreign films often have a unique aura to them that is special , and they open a new perspective that's miles higher from the usual films of your own country funnily . I found this is an un rushed but at the same time well paced film . Its of a higher quality than anything Ive seen . Its deeper , more sensitive and much care has gone into its filming . If I was a film director Id like my films to be of this quality . Not quite sure why that's relevant ! There also seems to be a seam of high quality horror films I have yet to watch . How have I missed them so far ?
This film, as with Herzog's "Herz aus Glas," is so odd and eerie. It is spellbinding at times. I have a copy of this back at home. I found one up here in the English version but I feel it loses its power when the actors are speaking in English.
ReplyDeleteMy copy was in German , but thank goodness it had a subtitle function , there again I watched Lips of Blood without them on you-tube . If you know of any other films like this let me know . Its not often I come across something new like this .
