Saw a couple of films over the weekend. First was The Royal Tennenbaums, which was pretty much perfect. I loved the characters, the whimsical slightly plodding pace and I loved how brilliantly funny and tear-inducing the film could be, often within minutes of one another. It was very beautiful.
I also finally got around to seeing Rashomon, which was a bit of a challenge as I'm not really good with old movies and black and whites in particular. Regardless, I can see why it's hailed as a masterpiece of cinema. Really clever.
I also have Ran to watch, which I bought along with Rashomon because I wanted to check Akira Kurosawa's films out, and I didn't want to start with the proto-westerns. Will be watching that tomorrow or the day after.
