Okay, I'm back and officially on vacation.

I'll take the 1992 Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Film: Children of Nature


Lew takes Flowers of Shanghai.


Zen makes his picks in the mornings so Erik may as well go ahead and make his pick.

Then it's Chris, Jan, and Bill.

 

[Zen Butler]

No, I actually have my laptop on this evening....so

I'll take the 1992 Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Film: Children of Nature

funny, I almost chose even another film with Children in the title.

 

[SteveGon]

And what a nice pick it is.

So what's your favorite Kurosawa?

 

[Zen Butler]

Rashomon

 

[ErikG]

Kwaidan

 

[SteveGon]

Erik, nice choice.

Zen, I don't think I have a favorite Kurosawa. My top three would be Dersu Uzala, Seven Samurai, and Stray Dog, and those three are constantly switching the #1 spot.

 

[Zen Butler]

Erik, very nice choice indeed!

Steve, I can respect that. It is very hard for me to single out any Cocteau film.
In regards to Kurosawa, Ikiru just moved me immensely. Rashomon, on the other hand. There are about 50+ scenes I wish I could freeze, frame and mount them on my walls.

 

[SteveGon]

Ikiru just moved me immensely.

I have to admit that I cried like a baby at the end. :b
