I was watching TVR2 one of these early mornings. Yes, somebody does watch that TV channel. Yes, I am their 0.01 rating points.
Anyway, there was a very short piece on Atlas about Akira Kurosawa.
This suddenly reminded me I still owe Tarkovsky 3 hours of my time to
finish watching Solaris. Just in case I would forget again the 10
o'clock movie on PRO Cinema today was "Seven Samurais", not the
Kurosawa one but a modern copy.
Berfore this turns into another James Joyce blog post I will get to the
point, or closer to it. I am often asked why I go to the cinema so
often, while at the same time I watch very little TV.
I like good stories. Movies are just one form of manifestation of these
stories. I especially like it when stories are told well, so I favour
good movies with good stories over poor movies with equally good
stories.
To better understand I will give you a list of directors for recommended watching:
Akira Kurosawa
Andrei Tarkovsky
Ingmar Bergman
Federico Fellini
Bernardo Bertolucci
Steven Spielberg
George Lucas
Watch anything from these guys, not just the famous ones.
The enclosed picture is of Akira Kurosawa since he started all this chain of thought.
