Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
More Perfection

Not a bad movie to bow out on. Not one single howler in his career and this one doesn't disappoint. Never reaching the heights of pretension which, say, "Crash" does, it's a great study of intense personal relationships and sexual obsession. Like all of his films it can seem remote and detached but always entertaining and watchable.

Shestaya chast mira (1926)
Could be one of the few "perfect" films ever made

What a delight. Beautiful, poetic, rhythmic editing. Certainly the best all - out documentary EVER made. In fact, the perfect documentary. Eisenstein may have invented Narrative style but Vertov is the master of montage. Beautiful, sadly obscure stuff.
