Gerry (2003, R)
A starkly beautiful, brutally uncompromising masterpiece, the best of Van Sant's death trilogy, and one of the best films I have ever seen. I've been waiting several years to see this and it was worth every second. The penultimate "scene" where the two Gerrys shuffle painfully across the salt-flats at dawn is the single most beautiful and shocking piece of cinema I'm yet to experience, right up there with 2001's stargate sequence for sheer awe-inspiring artistry. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. |

Sátántangó (Satan's Tango) (1994, Unrated)
This is what film was invented for. I feel I can appreciate Gerry more after watching this. A word of warning, though: if you love cats...prepare to be severely disturbed. |
