I've been meaning to make this for a while, and the basis of the thread is basically I got the idea from the Critertion Collection of Film. They have a collection of films that they release that would otherwise, not have been seen by the majority of the film public. Films like Bicycle Thieves, Ikiru, Traffic and Hamlet.
Anyway, I was wondering what a collection of films from PCF would look like and that's where we are now. Basically the thread works like this, recommend a film (or films, no limit really) to the rest of members here that you have seen, give a little summary about the film (what's it about, who directed, who's in it, etc, etc...) and we others here might like. I thought it would be cool to give it a shot and I'll start of first;
...so yeah, something like that. It doesn't have to that detailed really and you can do as many film as you want but yeah. Just recommend some movies for others here that you'd think we would like to see.
So, anybody up for it at all?
Peace.

| Pan's Labyrinth (2006) Directed by Guillermo Del Toro, Pan's Labyrinth is about a young girl who is living in new Fascist Spain in 1944 during World War II with her pregnant mother when they move to live with the Spanish Captain Vidal. There she meets a faun and is told to go perform three tasks, one more surreal than the last as the country rebels fight against the Spanish Fascists in the backdrop. Starring Ivana Baquero, Maribel Verdu and Sergi Lopez, Pan's Labyrinth is a visual and photographic wonder. With stellar performances all around, stunning cinematography, score and costumes, Pan is able to captivate the watcher with its looks and members here would like it because of its original story and how its able to move from fantasy world to war torn country who effectively. To sum it up very briefly, its like a darker and more realistic version of Spirited Away set in Japan. |

| A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) Directed by Elia Kazan, this is one of the first daring films to be made in American cinema. It was adapted from the play of writer Tennessee Williams and was also a Broadway hit. Set in the backdrop of New Orleans, Blanche DeBois from Atlanta come to the Big Easy to live with her sister, Stella, after she has fallen on hard times. Being stuck in her old Southern ways, she finds trying to start a new life difficult. Especially when confronted with Stella's testerone driven husband, Stanley Kowalski. The film has some of the best overall performances that you will ever see. Lead by Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh, the cast also has Kim Hunter and Karl Malden and they are given enough time to provide you with enough of their characters to keep you interested. The film's main character, played by Brando, is the engine for the whole film but Kazan does a remarkable job of keep everything going even when he's not on screen. Its an incredible film that I called "poetic anger" and Brando's performance is one of best you'll ever see. |
