Comment on Sydney Film Festival 8 : SCOTT WALKER, 30 Century Man by veronica

I really loved the film. I came away wanting more though. We still do not really know anything abt Scott Walker. He is still an enigma with a beautiful voice and soul…not too sure abt drift and tilt albums. Although I have got them because I love scott walker. I really did prefere his songs before those 2 albums. I would still see him live if I got a chance…..

Thanks for this comment.

Early Peter Lorre ( before he became a caricature of himself…) …is exactly the right tone…He had an inner tension that’s frightening.

I’ll catch what I can of “Crime and Punsihment” on Youtube. Much appreciated.

are you a Peter Lorre CRIME AND PUNISHMENT (1935) fan ? it’s not all on youtube but there are quite a few scenes on there if you’re interested in seeing how he does his raskolnikov. I like it .

I’ll lend you SOUR GRAPES.
I think it’s as bad as that film (Xmas in July) is good… by the sound of it.

Comment on Interview with Kitty Arends…ROTTERDAM INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL by Gary Slezak (Bertold Krasenstein)

“Recycling public domain material…and giving it new meaning…is so exciting a concept…I can hardly breathe while I’m writing this sentence.”

It is so great to hear someone so taken with what they’re doing. Self-reflection and ENJOYING THE OUTPUT is so rare – in my world at least.

Is Feldstein part of a new Beat Generation or merely a modern member of the libertine circle?

I don’t think this can be answered, with Feldstein’s myriad hats from Sartre to Schrödinger to pinpoint him would be akin to categorising any of his films into one subject. There is no Dewey Decimal number for “Feldstein, Jack”.

Onwards and upwards for Schmetamorphosis/Schmetamorphose.

Ok so I *heart* Kafka, Proust, Joyce, Kerouac, Allen, Herzfeldt, Mozart, Sophocles & Feldstein. What’s the missing piece of the puzzle? Spalding Gray? I’m on it.
