Notes: Of course, after watching more than 6000 movies, I had to watch a movie directed by Andrei Tarkovsky at some point, especially since the guy has such a stellar reputation. Well, according to IMDb, it is his best movie, so I guess it was a good place to start. However, to be honest, even though I expected it, it still turned out to be a rather challenging movie. I mean, basically, it is about three guys wandering for almost 3 hours in a place called the ‘Zone’ and, even though it does sound like a science-fiction feature, there was nothing really futuristic about this place. Of course, the fans of this movie in particular and in Tarkovsky in general would argue that this movie went just way beyond being a simple SF feature and they would be right. However, I’m afraid I was not smart enough to understand most of the symbolism, philosophical and metaphysical elements developed in this flick and I still think that the damned thing was pretty damned long and slow. Still, even if it was quite minimalistic, it was quite beautiful to look at and the damned thing was quite mesmerizing. Indeed, in spite the lack of plot or character development, the whole thing is such an interesting maelstrom of ideas, theories and assumptions.7 years, 6 months ago

“Since this movie had been very well received, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, the first tricky thing about this movie was that even though it was partially dealing with the genetical links involved in a family, in fact, since the 2 boys were obviously some actors, they didn't have any ” read more

Notes: By now, I have seen all the movies involving the Monty Python and while I was wildly enthousiast at first, I must admit it that I was a little bit disappointed. I mean, I more or less enjoyed all their movies but I didn’t find them really excellent and I came to the conclusion that their humor is not really my cup of tea. However, there is one exception and it is this flick. Indeed, contrary to the rest of their work, I really loved this comedy, for once I was able to completely connect with their humor and, in my opinion, I would go as far as saying that it is easily one of the best comedies ever made. Indeed, to start with, the concept was just awesome. Even though I’m not a religious man, I always thought that religion is a fascinating subject and I have never seen a comedy who managed to tackle this subject so successfully. On top of that, the jokes were really hilarious. 7 years, 7 months ago
