Tabor ukhodit v nebo (1976)
A Joy to Watch
A perfect blend of music, freedom loving spontaneity, passion and a lust for life that has both beauty and tragedy, particularly when passion runs out of control. It illustrates the highs and lows of human existence and perhaps how life is ultimately bittersweet when played out in a purely emotional realm.
It has magic, romance and heartbreak, and the characters live life to the fullest even if they are ultimately deluded. Having said that, the takeaway is one of joy and enthusiasm for a simpler, more natural life - the film communicates this feeling, despite the flaws of the characters and we can extrapolate this feeling regardless.
Also, the acting, script and cinematography are all excellent.
If they still make movies with this kind of open-heartedness and abandonment they are passing me by. If you like Kusturica - who MUST have watched this - you will love it.
What's Up, Doc? (1972)
The Perfect Comedy
One of the greatest comedies of all time. Brilliantly written and performed.
The Da Vinci Code (2006)
Underrated movie.
I have watched this movie a few times and I have no idea why it has not got a higher rating. An excellent adaptation of an intelligent and interesting book.
Actually, it was probably due to unrealistic expectations when it was released and people's inability to remain free from the opinions of others.
The acting and performances are excellent; the screenplay has depth and the action is breathless...it's a 9 fro me!!
