While you're completing your tour of the Coens' oeuvre, please watch Barton Fink and then write me and tell me what the Hell that was about! Interesting how I can so enjoy a movie that I have no understanding of at all (like Lynch's Mulholland Drive).
Movie/film suggestions.
While this is of course a forum for the discussion of all things audio/hi-fi and music, pretty much all of us are also lovers of movies, the enjoyment of which is effected by the reproduction of the sound they contain (with the exception of silent movies 
).
I've been focused on David Lynch movies since his death, but with current events so much a part of our lives at the moment, I plan on re-watching a movie I’ve seen only once, and years ago. That movie is:
The Madness Of King George. Apropos, no?

I'm with you @77jovian. I have no idea what Barton Fink is about, and it's unlike the Coens to be so abstract. I find this film very disturbing. Mulholland drive is slightly more understandable, since we know Lynch likes to play around with dream sequences vs. reality. And we expect his films to be abstract.

+1 @bdp24 I definitely agree, Wings of Desire is my all time favorite art flick.
How about the final scene, where Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds are the band playing in the hotel bar. Peter Falk … esp at the food cart, that’s one of my favorite scenes also. Just a lovely film, everything about it, imo.
It’s a great campy film. Doesn’t get much more fun than that. Pretty great soundtrack and even a hit by Meatloaf as Eddie. My fav song is The Time Warp. What a classic. Tim Curry was Transexual before it was even a thing, lol. |
