El Topo is a good one - a psychedelic Western released in 1970. It's about a gunslinger in a nameless desert searching for enlightenment. The movie deals heavily in Western and Eastern spiritual symbolism and philosophy. A lot of bizarre occurences and characters - the movie at parts is very surreal and almost comedic and in others is dramatic or very violent. It's been watched by and has inspired a lot of creatives and in my opinion should be watched at least once by anybody who says they enjoy cinema. |

Saw Donny Darko with the wife. It's an interesting movie: it encourages us to doubt objectivity, reality, virtue, truth while also encouraging the audience to sympathize with a psychotic vandal, criminal, killer. 20+ years after the fact, I'll say Donny Darko is not so "DEEP" or world changing, especially relative to all the multiverse / timeline hopping stuff that became so trendy since its release, but it's still a fine movie to watch and enjoy for its general conceit... |
