useless Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) Train Again (Peter Tscherkassky) - Set to the relentless industrial rumble of train tracks and film leader, flash-framed tribute to early cinema’s love affair with trains. All aboard a phantasmagoric journey into the flickering mechanics of moving images! - Great film, enjoyed it Edited December 16, 2023 by useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted December 17, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 17, 2023 Just back from: As @Follyfoot says, it's a very good movie indeed. It's kind of difficult not to compare with the glitz and shine of the contemporary Hollywood film series, but apart from having Godzilla in the title, there's very little in the way of similarities. The main characters have emotional depth, and I connected immediately with them. The story has many layers with a central theme of guilt which is very well done and the post WW2 setting is portrayed with some pitch perfect cinematography. In a nutshell, the Hollywood movies are about Godzilla with a few human characters thrown in whereas this is very much a movie about people which just happens to have Godzilla in it. It's brilliant. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly they know it’s a turkey as they are pulling out all the stops to market it. This was round the corner from our place this weekend. An “immersive experience” which we swerved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely what the Chewits adverts of the mid-80s got right as well. Powerful stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Must be losing it as I am sure he was a DJ getting pissed and Santa had a massive fight with Krampus but it was all in his mind as he ended up a delusional killer ?

Burton only made two but surely that can't mean the Nolan trilogy? Edited December 19, 2023 by Designer1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
