In Reply to: Re: What are "screening cassettes"? posted by Victor Khomenko on April 18, 2002 at 17:44:43:
I got them a couple of years ago and after checking them for quality set them aside and they got lost in a mountain of tapes. The mention of Rawney in the other post reminded me that I had it so I rummaged around for it. Looks like I watched about a half an hour of it before pulling it in favor of something else, even though I like Bob Hoskins. Now that it's out I'll give it a proper viewing.I've not seen Montenegro in years but did enjoy it at the time. It's now on my list of films to revisit along with The Coca-Cola Kid, The Conformist, Local Hero and The Tenth Victim. I'm totally disgusted with a lot of what's coming out of Hollywood and am thinking of investigating Bollywood. Any suggestions? Lagaan looks promising.
Follow Ups:
Bob is very good in the Rawney.The Conformist is a classic, Local Hero I remember just vaguely, ditto for The Tenth Victim, but Marcello in any film is worthwhile. I am not an expert on Indian films at all, I recall seeing quite a few in the fifties and sixties, and there was not much to write home about - they were all tedious to no end. The only possible exception were some Raj Kapoor films - things like his timeless Vagabond (Awaara), that I would most definitely try to see.
If someone could comment on the progress the Indian cinema has made in the past say thirty years, I would be curious.
