Ebert says "Worst film in history of Cannes" -- THE BROWN BUNNY (1 Viewer)

[Paul_Scott]

fellatio AND a rimshot?!

damn...that is hardcore.

BTW a couple other actress's who've performed fellatio on screen
(can't think of her name) but the film was Devil in the Flesh
the other actress was Carole Laure (the film was Angel and the Woman and it went one step further with facial ejaculation)

 

[Ricardo C]

I believe Maruschka Detmers is the actress from "Devil in the Flesh".

 

[Lew Crippen]

Eiko Matsuda in Ai no corrida/In The Realm of Senses, has more sex, including fellatio than your are likely to see outside of porn. And it is on the Sight & Sound best list.

About a year ago, a very respected Australian actress was making a film that required her to perform fellatio, but I can’t remember her name or the film’s title.

This has got to be one of the funnier threads in HTF history.

"So basically he's saying 'I would have sat through a short, hardcore blowjob scene' "

"Time to ask Polanski about real estate advice maybe."

PRICELESS!

This has GOT to be the only thread where the topic is "Ebert bashes film at Cannes" and goes to
"Don't criticize Ebert" and then becomes
"Which actresses have performed blowjobs onscreen?"

And you know the fellatio scene is the only reason this film is at Cannes.

BTW, the movie actually sounds like a bad rip-off of Gerry, (a movie where people walk through the desert for 2 hours). Except that movie was somewhat good.

I have not seen the performance, but from my memory of the reviews I read of it, I think you are referring to Kerry Fox in Intimacy.

Now I'm just waiting for the obligatory..."Pics?"

...oh wait, this isn't DVDTalk

Now I'm just waiting for the obligatory..."Pics?"

Actually, there's a certain site with screencaps from just about every movie discussed in this thread, but I wouldn't want to risk my membership here by providing a link

Greatest. Thread. Ever.

 

[Ricardo C]

What can I tell ya? I had to do something to eliminate the visual of Roger Ebert sitting in a dark theater enjoying a hardcore oral sex scene.

 

[Andrew 'Ange Hamm' Hamm]

Never underestimate the power of fellatio.

Now were getting somewhere!

Could you name it in pig latin? Or pig aramaic? But please, no subtitles! (Movie forum crossover thread joke)

The only bad movie is a boring movie.

The only bad movie is a boring movie.

When you mix that with the old line that theres no such thing as bad felattio you have this summer's blockbuster

 

[Ricardo C]

Patrick, far be it from me to judge a film before I see it, but Ebert's description of "Bunny" does make it sound like it meets and exceeds the definition of boring, regardless of the hardcore stunt at the end.

 

[Dan Rudolph]

Oh dear. That sure doesn't sound good. Time to ask Polanski about real estate advice maybe.

Hey, it wasn't to replace Chloe Sevigny.

According to what I read at the IMDB, Chloe Sevigny really does fellate him complete with money shot.

So I assume Wal-Mart won't be carrying this film when it hits DVD then?

This is what Gallo said at the Cannes press conference:

I was not interested in eroticism or pornography or anything like that. But, I had a long-time concept that what people do physically in their sexual behavior is extremely contrasting to what they think they're doing or how the impression is emotionally or in their thoughts. When you see the most basic performances or activities that people do sexually, I find it bizarre or odd when I look at it. I mean, if I look at it in eroticism or in displays that are meant to be exciting or titillating, it has one reference. But, when I see myself accidentally or I look down, and when I look at things, I find it quite unusual. I thought that in making a movie and including this graphic scene, when I wrote the script, I couldn't imagine this scene in any other way. I couldn't understand how I could separate the concept of watching what people do physically and understanding what they're going through emotionally. I didn't see a way to separate them. I wasn't motivated to separate them. I never thought about separating them. (...) I'm not personally an exhibitionist. I don't like to be naked or looked at in any way. I don't photograph myself that way. I don't like the idea of men and women together, physically detached from intimacy.

Whatever he's smoking, I want some and some for my friends.

More on Cannes in general, if you dont feel like linking heres the bunny quote.

OK so we have a confirmed hardcore blowjob and a conspiricy theory! Fox Mulders perfect film!

Dan, BTW I applaud your class. After a thread with the word blowjob mentioned 50 times and various rimshot references you have the good decency to use the word 'fellate'

And to think, next door in the Passions thread theres numerous Bible quotes. How unseemly of us.

Is it too soon to demand extra features on this disk? How about multiple angles?

As long as it's in widescreen. We wouldn't want a cropped money shot, now would we? Try panning and scanning that.
