I meant as far as direction goes, for his earlier films. He probably is a bastard.

I know ya did, was just tugging your twonker.
Just literally right now, sort of, finished watching
Les enfants terribles, which I bought months and months ago and never got round to watching. Was really, really terrific. Cocteau's narration was slightly unnecessary and heavy-handed at times, but this weirdo world of borderline incestuous brother and sister, dragging people into their insanity was great stuff! Really loved it. Shall watch this again fairly soon.
Oh, and I watched
Ivan's Childhood yesterday [Sunday], Andrei Tarkovsky's first film and also the first Tarkovsky film I've
ever seen. Was fantastically shot (I understand he got far less 'showy' as his career progressed), good wartime story, more noticeable for being punctuated by the dream sequence's of an orphan child, Ivan of the title. I generally dislike war films, but this was fairly different and interesting.
