a man and a woman
1966 academy award for foreign language and cannes grand prix winner, directed by the ever-romantic claude lelouch. it was beautiful. the shots, montage, soundtrack were all great in dissecting a relationship between a man and a woman. jean-louis trignant might be my favorite actor.

MOLOCH (translated as 'a demon in the shape of a man') is a film that shows yet another aspect of Aleksandr Sokurov's approach to film-making. As in his splendid 'Russian Ark', 'Mother and Son', and 'Father and Son' he manages to say more in his silences and interplay of his characters with nature and their environments that in his spare scripts (this script is by Yuri Arabov and Marina Koreneva). His movement is slow, like an adagio, his eye is constantly on symbolism and irony, and his filming/camera technique is always experimental. doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online doctor online Given these factors 'MOLOCH' is a fine example of how Sokurov works his magic: whether or not the viewer will relate to this bizarre film depends on how willing one is to enter Sokurov's vision. This film about Hitler is very much a Russian product and given the history of the relationship between Russia and Germany, that fact is necessary to know.
