I thought it might provide someone some amusement, which is another reason I posted. The song is damn sweet too. I have been listening to it on repeat for over 3 hours now.pillowbaker wrote: ↑Mon Jun 13, 2022 5:22 am Haha I have to admit, even if you discovered it on your own, it as very fun finding out the movie.
Ugh, brain not work. Me use club. Ancestors all cavemen.Your willpower to do the bruteforce method of checking is commendable.
He simply found a way to better appreciate the dearly departed, but it did not seem like he was speeding them on their way. He could wait until they had ripened. After all, life is just a process of maturation leading to the inevitability of death. That is part of the philosophy of Schopenhauer or something. The girl was a little foolhardy thinking she could help him out with playacting. He had gone far beyond the fantasies of kinky amateurs and needed the real thing, not pretend. "The EYES! No, not the EYES! Don't look at me!"LE NECROPHILE ... And though the main guy is sorta despicable, I liked that he was also kind enough and that his niece appreciated him.
I thought the ending was out of left field, a different horror subgenre and a bit of a tonal departure, a little too whimsical instead of creepily funny. Maybe the director was concerned that a more somber ending might have totally alienated all audiences, as he had enough trouble getting the film made in the first place. Check out this IMDB Trivia:
Note the supposed 10-minute longer projected version. What are we missing, hmm? Is it time for an original "Director's Cut" version to be released on a 4KUHD disc packed with extras? I would pay $60 for that without hesitation.When the film passed in front of a commission in charge of the protection of children, a representative of the CNC, Alain Lameyre, launches into a moralizing shootout, denouncing an "apology for pedophilia", a trend that the project however never stated. David Kessler, then president of the CNC, disowned his representative. But the damage is done: Barassat must go back to Elisabeth Guigou, then Minister of Labor, to obtain a favorable opinion. Filming can start. The little girl is found, in the person of Ilona Szabo, and it is the brilliant Portuguese filmmaker João Cesar Monteiro who must play the title role. Alas, seriously ill, he retired. Laurent Terzieff, who had agreed to replace him, also withdraws. A few days before the shoot, Barassat meets Freddy Bournane, an actor with a vampire physique. Authorisation. But, in the meantime, the occupational medicine refuses to give its authorization to the other children appearing in the film. Barassat must find boys aged 16. When it finally turns, its treasury is in the red because of the various delays. The assembly will be done with misery. The projected version lasts 48 minutes, it is banned at least 16 years old but is finally broadcast on Arte.
The flat-chested girl was played by "Ilona Szabo" and I can find no biographical information about her. Supposedly the other children had to be played by "boys aged 16" but clearly Ilona had the most provocative scenes. Why wasn't she being "protected"? Was she in fact a very pretty 16-year-old boy with great hair? I used to be certain what girls' bodies looked like, but these days I can only think "not sure if you're a boy or a girl" as the David Bowie song goes.
Yes, another great film! Though I don't remember this one quite as well, including the scene you mention. I need to watch it again.Do you recall El Espíritu de la colmena (1973)?
AKA "The Spirit of the Beehive" and also at FLM:
