Comments
The Servant
I remember the day I saw this film. I was breathless until the end -- the film is so beautiful, perverted, exciting and full of thrills. And that long-take, love-making chair sequence!
Peeping Tom
A film that makes me feel like I should only secretly like it.
La CÉRÉMONIE
I've come to love mushrooms after watching the scene of Jeanne and Sophie picking mushrooms from a forest and pan-frying them. Of course, I eat mushrooms like them, simply pan-fried. And whenever I eat mushrooms, I think about the two women's relationship. The film is one of many references for me that speaks to the inexplicable, strange quality of human relationships.
Distant Voices, Still Lives
I watched this film after experiencing a family loss, and I remember crying a lot. For me, watching this film is the most personally healing experience.
In the Mouth of Madness
A list like this can't leave out a John Carpenter movie. Is it me, or is the world just crazy?
A Woman under the Influence
I realized later that I've been recommending this film to my actresses all along. Mabel (Gena Rowlands), a neurotic and anxious character, is a symbolic presence for me.
A Serious Man
I like all of the Coen Brothers' films, so it's hard to pick just one. As you live more life, it becomes more profound and more difficult to understand; when I feel like this, this movie comes to mind. But I don't feel as if this film gives some kind of an answer to life. I get much comfort every time I realise how much I love this film.
The Wicker Man
Among many horror films I've seen so far, this one has the most terrifying ending. I really love this movie.
ONNA GA KAIDAN O AGARU TOKI
The protagonist Keiko is unforgettable.
10 Rillington Place
I like many films by Richard Fleischer. See No Evil (1971), The Boston Strangler (1968)... Many of them deal with scary things that happen in a small home, but this one scares me the most.
