Slog - Comments on This Weekend at the Movies http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/01/this_weekend_at_the_movies_2 We didn't get to do Suggests this week, but if I could have, I would have passionately urged you to see both Ugetsu and Sansho the Bailiff at Northwest Film Forum this week. Here's the famous un-carnal embrace from Ugetsu. He's a potter, she's a ghost: My review of the Mizoguchi series has already attracted one very angry Japanese film fan. If you care to debate: Is it wrong of me to identify a "classic triumvirate" of Ozu, Mizoguchi, and Kurosawa since critics who originally selected the trio I mentioned (see here, for example) often hadn't seen anything by Mikio...

That's a still from Murnau's The Last Laugh, it looks like.

Blurry still of besmirched fraulein substituted. You may want to correct these guys too.

But it is something you could see at the Egyptian once a year or so. Wasn't my post long enough already?

I don't think I speak their language! (Whatever it is.)

It was not only accurate - most movies get the mechanics of weapons, recoil, ammo, explosions, and how people react wrong - it was fun! fun! fun!

Plus, my son LOVED it! He's 15.

Highly recommended!

I love the part where stuff happens out of the blue that totally changes things - but in a believable way. And how it captures how that feels.

Does she look a little like Betty Boop? I'm so there at the Paramount on Monday.
