PopTodd Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 The Wonderful, Horrible Life Of Leni RiefenstahlMs. Riefenstahl created 2 of the most artistically important films in history, that just happened to be Nazi propaganda — Triumph Of the Will and Olympiad. An examination of the life and politics of a true artist with questionable motives. It's a 4-hour documentary that is nonetheless immenently watchable (with an intermission). Includes interviews with a 92-year-old Leni, herself. Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes Without a Face)A creepy, creepy B&W horror film from the early 60's that is shockingly grisly for the time. But mostly, it's creepy and very effective. About a surgeon who was driven mad when his precious daughter was horribly disfigured in an accident. But I'll leave it there, as the movie is better that way. -let's hear yours Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PopTodd Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 I don't have the doc channel, so I had no idea. And, is that Donald Sutherland that I see on the Little Murders poster, too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Can't believe I only just saw this one for the first time this earlier this year. It instantly shot up into my top ten. It's all kinds of awesome:"Little Murders is a 1971 black comedy film starring Elliott Gould and Marcia Rodd about a girl (Rodd) who brings home her boyfriend (Gould) to meet her parents amidst a series of random shootings, garbage strikes and electrical outages ravaging the neighborhood and the family's severe dysfunction.The film originated as a play written by cartoonist Jules Feiffer." It's dark and that's good! I gotta see this. Jules Feiffer is awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And, is that Donald Sutherland that I see on the Little Murders poster, too?It is and he's spectacular! My favorite scene is on , but you probably don't want to watch it out of context if you're planning on watching the movie some time...it won't ruin the rest of the movie or anything. It's just such a good scene I'd hate to see it orphaned if it didn't need to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aricandover Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 They show this on the Doc Channel what seems like at least once a day. Can't believe I only just saw this one for the first time this earlier this year. It instantly shot up into my top ten. It's all kinds of awesome:"Little Murders is a 1971 black comedy film starring Elliott Gould and Marcia Rodd about a girl (Rodd) who brings home her boyfriend (Gould) to meet her parents amidst a series of random shootings, garbage strikes and electrical outages ravaging the neighborhood and the family's severe dysfunction.The film originated as a play written by cartoonist Jules Feiffer."
