Without a doubt the worst choreography i have ever seen in a film. A dreadful experience and i didn't even watch the whole film. How were Albert Finney, Liv Ullmann, John Gielgud and even Hussey and York convinced to be involved with such a trainwreck?

Money no doubt. Though not Finney as he is not in it.

Lost Horizon is so bad it's good. In particular 'The World is a Circle' number.

Love Bette Midler's line on Liv Ullmann in this. 'I never miss a Liv Ullmann musical!'.

Moving and touching...
Farmiga and the boy are great!

I liked this film a lot, too. I was a bit disappointed with the ending though. I thought it was a bit too much.


And by the way

It's not just any stairway shot. It's a seemingly continuous tracking shot up seven flights of stairs.
Yes, the stairway tracking shot is amazing, as is the legendary taxicab/Miracle of the Marne sequence.

Spielzeugland

6/10

Good, but overrated. Definitely doesn't deserve its Oscar.

Young love blooms in the sewers of Paris, then World War I comes along. A bit silly and sentimental at times, but marvelously done.
The stairway shot = amazing.
I love that film. Gorgeous performances and masterfully photographed.

"I am such a clever movie. Don't you just love how clever I am? You can tell a lot of thought went into me and you should be grateful. So clever am I."

But a lot of thought did go into Memento. Memento is right to think that about itself. Memento makes a very good point about Memento.

Although I can never watch the movie again for the first time, I did not feel overwhelmed by its self-satisfaction. If anything, Irreversible announces itself as a clever film.
