Vai E Vem - Come Bees Because there's nothing more exciting than watching an old perverted man live out his insane fantasies on screen. This is a clip from João César Monteiro's last film before his death, "Vai E Vem" ("Coming and Going"). Think of it (and all the other Deus-charactered Monteiro films) as a more in-your-face perverted and hilarious version of mid-80s Godard film, only that Monteiro actually DOES the things Godard let his audience imagine. He really was one of the masters of subtle, poetic cinema, and while this clip doesn't really do his genius justice (I admit it's a bit boring for people who haven't seen the film), it still represents both the scene I surprisingly laughed the most at and overall his best film. May he rest in peace. Tags: joao caesar monteiro manuela freitas vai vem coming going portuguese comedy |

The Weeping Meadow - Beer Hall Dance Seems like I really like those dancing scenes, no? This is a clip from Theo Angelopoulos' latest film to date, "The Weaping Meadow" ("To Livadi pou dakryzei"), which is the first part of a trilogy he has planned to make. If you like this and some of the other clips I uploaded and generally tend to like these insanely slow-paced, visually focused kind of films, you should definitely check out Angelopoulos' work, as he is one of the masters of mentioned style, and, in my opinion, one of the greatest living directors, if not ever.
