The Holy MountainmoviesfilmAlejandro Jodorowsky
Movies I’ve watched in the past couple of days: In the Realm of the Senses (1976, Nagisa Oshima) (pictured above) One of the first not-porn movies to use unsimulated sex to explore themes of fetishism, sexual violence, and sex addiction; based on the true story of Sada Abe, a woman who strangled her lover during sex and then cut off his genitals and carried them in her purse Europa (1991, Lars von Trier) Intriguing story, beautiful set design, and great direction. Also not nearly as misogynistic as von Trier’s other films. Loved it. Je, Tu, Il, Elle (1974, Chantal Akerman) Ratcatcher (1999, Lynne Ramsay) Incredibly interesting story that takes place during Scotland’s garbage strikes. Focuses on a little boy and the relentless, crushing guilt he feels over a tragedy that he causes. Beauty and the Beast (1991, Disney) Lion King (1994, Disney) Birdcage (1996) Not sure what I was expecting, but definitely something better than it was. Just a bunch of stereotyping, which kind of eliminates any poignancy that would have existed. If I didn’t love Robin Williams and Nathan Lane I wouldn’t have watched the entire thing.

Je Tu Il Elle (1975) Chantal Akerman Sometimes I wish I had the clout of Ingmar Bergman, so I could just call a Criterion-approved director (in this case, Godard) a “fucking bore” and get away with it - because when I watched Je Tu Il Elle, that’s exactly how I felt (up until the 15-minute sex scene at the end, anyway). The film consists mostly of drawn-out, minimal shots that effectively convey an extreme sense of isolation and confusion, and has minimal dialogue. Normally I have a surprising attention span for this type of direction (George Lucas’ THX 1183 is a favorite) but somehow I was incredibly bored through most of this one. Some of the shots are beautiful, whereas others are a bit too self-indulgent. But although I found the stillness of the movie to be more boring than contemplative, I appreciate her overt sexuality. There is something to be said of her bravery for putting her sexuality and emotional state on display. I didn’t hate this film but it will probably be a while before I pick up another Chantal Akerman movie.
