Hey, thanks iefan! This sounds actually very interesting. I have to check if I can find these seasons on DVD cheaply. This shouldn't be no problem as it is available on many stores here. I actually don't have TV anymore (well I have the apparatus but not this digibox that is needed in Finland nowada...

I am BSG fan... of the original series! Man I loved that show when I was kid! Nowadays it is guite turkey but I saw it few years ago and it was still charming, but I have to admit that I have soft spot for turkeys. They say that the new BSG is really good but it didn't catch me. Maybe I didn't give ...

Sorry, I wasn't making myself clear there. When I talked about mirrors and seeing oneself I was already talking about The Mirror . I do realize the lines and meaning in Solaris even though I didn't remember them word for word. I only brought this up because this film is clearly planting some of the ...

Two years old thread, man. Well, I'd still like to answer my thoughts about Pine floats (which I like very much like all those blue jazzy pieces on FWWM soundtrack). I think it is reference to pine floating, you know, the method how the sawmill industry get its raw materials. From the woods to the r...

Yes, Mikko , my wife and I also love Laughter in The Dark . I have searched for the old Nicol Williamson movie version on DVD, but so far with no success.I think they filmed it because of the slight similarities to Lolita . I finally saw the deleted scenes to the re-make of Lolita on you-tube. Pain...

Just to add little something for the whole idea of mirrors. I watched Tarkovsky's Solaris again (first Rublev and now this, flying high at the moment). It is interesting that Solaris has lots of similar undertones as Mirror in places. Especially when Kris Kelvin is having fever dreams near the end o...

Sorry, this took some time to answer... May I ask, are you Russian? :) (Your username prompted me this thought, not only Bulgakov). For some reason it is commonly supposed that M&M is hard to understand (or, maybe, to feel) for foreigners, maybe except Joshua's plotline. As for me, I am not sure...

This abuse idea might hold water. It isn't maybe essential but it explains the end and also Diane's behaviour. There are not so much proof but it is interesting. First of all that acting scene on audition feels very real (but it of course is also showing the power of acting). Then there is this pain...

Even though I generally believe that we should just analyze films as is, and not study the makers or influences or other connections, it is very revealing to know some things about this film. Like I said, all scenes are "real" in sense that they are all happened in real life to Tarkovsky's...

Wicked Game is actually kind of recompilation from Isaak's 80s albums. Of course The Wicked Game and Blue Spanish Sky songs are made for this record. Chris Isaak is one of my favourites. If you like at all his sound, definitely check out also Forever Blue album. And if you are Chester Desmond fan as...

Bergman's Vargtimmen (Hour of the Wolf) for the second time and it got even better. It is real nightmare. Man, my wife saw it for the first time and the next night she saw so horrible dream that she almost burst to tears while telling it to me. It is strange how deeply some films can affect to your ...

Ok, Lostandfound, PM sent!

Ok, I watched it again. Beautiful. I actually don't think this movie is bizarre, it is actually very open. They are fragments of one family's life as told by this artist. There is nothing invented in this movie, only that deathbed and sickness are fabrication to make it work better as a film. The ar...

If we consider The Mirror and archetypes it is very interesting that Tarkovsky made this film totally personal, from his own memories, feelings, dreams and such. And still he himself found out too that it resonated well with many peoples because somehow very personal becomes almost universal. I thin...

FWWM is one of the greatest soundtracks ever. To me it is the zenith of Lynch/Badalamenti music. It is so good that to me it isn't a soundtrack but just superb album. Of course the original TP soundtrack has special place in my heart and it has truly great song's like Laura Palmer's theme and origin...
