My second favorite Rutger Hauer performance. Ironically much like my other favorite he dies in the rain at the end like Bladerunner.... He himself has said this is not a good movie, I disagree! It's a very good 'what if....' movie and the script is interesting but does slip a bit towards the too expediant end. It's a very tense crime/political intrigue film, no one can be trusted in such a corrupt atmosphere but Hauer's character is surprising moral despite being a part of it. His character is quite serious and inquisitive here. He wants the truth despite all implications. I have the somewhat rare German (of course) Blu-ray edition which could have benefited from a proper 4K scan. Video quality is lacking but acceptable. There are graphic actual photos of death camp victims and some fleeting scenes of full frontal male nudity, so this is not family material. There's also a real 1984 feel throughout this story too which is natural. This film also feels a bit prophetic, makes it a disturbing but worthwhile watch. 🌍

SUPERMARIONATION GONE WILD! This is THE most BIZARRE and SURREAL Anderson series ever! Very slick and amusing (curious?!) mix of live action and his famous trademark puppetry. Extremely well done and worthwhile, don't miss it please! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

BEAUTIFUL & MAGNIFICENT! Absurdist masterpiece.

EXCELLENT Film in every way! Oscar worthy craftsmanship. One of the best Ealing Studios masterpieces. *Current Blu-ray release is subpar, this film desperately needs a complete 4k restore.

EXQUISITE FILM. I love People films and Perfect Days is just that, despite all the complications of Life, Family and Friendship, people will always go on and be Human. A truly lovely way to spend 2 hours and 4 minutes. 💗 🌱

Impressive morality tale with obsessive visuals. Very natural but not so free flowing film. Extremely worthwhile. Criterion 4k edition is very good but picture is a bit grainy. 5.1 sound is mediocre, music sounds great but effects are too loud, dialogue is unintelligible at times. No nudity or gore. Truly a wonderful period film, one of the best.

Absurd & Sublime Love Triangle! This film is a 'King Kong' genre Masterpiece! The HD restoration looks very good on Blu-ray but special effects scenes need some CGI tweaking to improve composite shots quality. An English dub would be an enjoyable option. Actors are all great, especially Evelyne Kraft who is AMAZING as a female Tarzan/Sheena. No one else could have done what she did here! I really love the 1970's sensibility & music, helps to make this film a relevant time capsule. This a very beautiful film, despite some graphic violence. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

BEAUTIFUL! What a GIFT this film is. A very quirky but real take on life with two of the most beautiful people who ever lived, Mr. Gene Wilder and Ms. Margot Kidder. They are MAGIC together. Story is sublime and engrossing, you really do care about their characters. Their relationship is very natural but fleeting, on her part. Young women can be very fickle after all. This film is a special allegory for adaption and survival, told in a very human way. I can't recommend it enough, it truly is a gift to see these two great stars from a young time in their careers who obviously have feelings for each other. * The VCI restored Blu-ray is EXCELLENT. So glad it happened in my time. A WONDERFUL PRIVILEGE.

Excellent classic British doomsday film! Very meticulous and intelligent, I was honestly impressed. Gives it a timeless quality. Most of the story takes place in a newspaper agency so there's much dialogue and banter. You really have to pay attention or you may miss something important. I find that refreshing and stimulating.... It's also a sincere love story, despite the dystopia. Amazingly well made film.

This is one of those special films that achieved a miracle thing, True Universality. Its message and characters are timeless. Essential viewing, don't miss it.
