The Beautiful Troublemaker
1 people found the following helpful
March 5, 2008 NOT the droid u r looking for!This is not the original 4-hour long version of the Jacques Rivette`s film. Beware. This is the 2-hour shorter version the director came up with.
I will leave the final word to IMDb, where this is what it says under Plot Outline:
"Divertimento" is a shorter version of the 1991 "La Belle noiseuse". All the material different of "La Belle noiseuse" (lighting, shot, angle, editing).
Definitely NOT worth the trouble, IMO.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -
Tuya's Marriage (DVD) (English Subtitled) (China Version)
March 4, 2008 An Excellent FilmTuya`s Marriage is an excellent movie. I was not familiar with the director`s work before the film won Golden Bear at Berlin Film Festival. Apart from "Story Of A Weeping Camel", I have not seen the Mangolian region with its culture, tradition, rituals that prominently on the international scene. Actually this film cuts much deeper, and given its simplicity and naturalistic approach, it is very well-executed. You will be surprised how good it is. Did you find this review helpful?
