I am always looking for a film that will really resonates with me but they are few and far between. I watch a lot of movies, though, and they usually please me even if I've seen them a million times.
It’s hard to find them, isn’t it? But we keep searching. Maybe films from other cultures. Maybe something current that I haven’t seen yet. The search continues!
I am always hoping that the next film I watch will be transformative and a deep connection to the cinematic art. But it's rare, even with the films that everyone loves and I am seeing for the first time. While this has happened to me many times in life, (Citizen Kane, Casablanca, High and Low, Close Encounters, Bladerunner, Blue Velvet etc., I could go on), of the over 50 films I've seen this year I can't say that about any of them. And I definitely look to other cultures. Now that I think about it the last one I felt great about was the Italian film The Great Beauty and I'm sad to report that was 2013. Still looking, and I won't quit, but I'm with you, I wish it was more frequent. As for directors, sorry that there will be no more David Lynch movies, or David Lean or Stanley Kubrick films for that matter. However, now I'm looking forward to The Kid With a Bike and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance!
