bollemanneke 3,342 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 @Alexcremers Are you referring to the Jane Eyre film that was broadcast in Belgium yesterday evening? That's the 2011 film, superior in every way to the 1970 crap I endured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 But wasn't the 1970 version not with George C. Sott and Susannah York? I cannot believe that these actors mucked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the use of harmonica to signify both Corky, and the unhinging of Hopkins. As Corky says to her 'Your breasts should be in the Louvre' .,, and judging by the eyeful we get of 'em during the love scene, he's not wrong .

bollemanneke 3,342 Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Correction: It was better in every way minus the score, though Marianneli's effort is very effective. As for subtitles: I watch films on my computer connected to surround sound speakers. I use subtitles in case I miss something in the dialogue, but mainly to see how they translate things.

A24 4,331 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Good thriller/horror with creepy and funny moments, and with a fairly different premise. I love it when a director is able to grab my attention from the very first scene. I'm not very familiar with main actor Daniel Kaluuya but he proves that he can carry a movie with ease.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 The Witch. They're making these moody supernatural horror films like this and The Babadook lately and people are lauding them as masterpieces when they're really not. This movie could have been good if the family was anything resembling likable. But the kids are arseholes and the parents are superstitious lunatics. The domestic disputes made this an ordeal to watch, about as nauseating as the pilot episode of American Horror Story, which was nothing but people shouting at each other. I almost felt relieved for the eldest daughter at the end as if she was liberated from all that dysfunction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 It came to Germany as 'The Vvitch' which made it awfully hard to find it. But yeah, it's a wonderfully unique movie that feels like mirror into a different century. It's a family portrait with a supernatural spin (even if we cannot be sure about that) and more importantly, about religious mores and human foibles. It's 'The Village' done right - just without a great score to support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
