Tarsem's The Fall. Breathtakingly beautiful.
I love Smoke. And I love the follow up even more, "Blue In The Face." "Blue In The Face" is more of an essay film...it's outtakes and deleted scenes from "Smoke" edited to tell another awesome story interspersed with digital video interviews of real residents of Brooklyn. It's so beautiful the very thought of it is making me cry right now...TONS of fun cameos, too...Jim Jarmusch, Michael J. Fox, John Lurie, Madonna, and Roseanne Barr among others.
The actual experiences of New York City subway riders are dramatized in a collection of 10 intriguing and very different vignettes. The tales showcase an ensemble of familiar faces, and range from stories of compassion and love to reflections on violence and loss. Among them: a disabled beggar quarrels with a woman and ruins her shoes with his wheelchair, provoking onlookers to wrath and pity; a skittish tourist proves to be her own worst enemy; a newlywed trysts with a mysterious sexpot; a commuter helplessly witnesses a suicide attempt; and, in the most affecting segment, a young woman grieves over her mother's imminent death.
"JCVD" shocked the crap outta me. Never thought that Jean Claude Van Damme could make me cry.
