Average film about the superstar of smut made by a veteran European film director.


The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996) directed by Milos Forman

Milos Forman has always had a good career both in his native land and outside it.When he was in the former Czechoslovakia he made films which terrified the communist regime.He has always had a good career in USA and even enjoyed greater creative freedom. This is evident through his choice of films which he has made.Who in the world can ever imagine that a Czech film director would go on to direct a film about one of America's most notorious person.People versus Larry Flint is a highly subjective film as to some it might appear that it glorifies Larry Flynt.In reality, this is not so as it is devoid of any objectionable material.What we see are good performances by all actors especially by Woody Harrelson.He is the veritable life and soul of our main protagonist.Courtney Love is OK as his muse as her performance is just above average.Wathcing this film one would easily make out that all the uproar by the church about its poster was just a silly hogwash.

These watermelons are indeed very juicy.

Tian bian yi duo yun (2005) directed by Tsai Ming Liang.

To my mind "The Wayward Cloud" directed by Tsai Ming Liang is one of the most accessible films of the Taiwanese author.This is because the film's style is light as there is an overabundance of many mellifluous songs which fit well with
all the sometimes comic sometimes tragic situations in which they have been filmed.It is sure that while watching "The Wayward Cloud" viewers will definitely note that the director has continually sought the audience's participation at various stages of this film.He has done this by making a film which does not fit any conventional description.It is for the viewers to decide what this film really is as it is not at all an explicit film about pornography nor a film about sexual feelings.In reality,"The Wayward Cloud" is a film about the renewal process of old memories which were shared by two of the film's principal protagonists.The question of human sexuality just acts as a catalyst in this film.This fact is further justified in the last scene of the film which is a shot of supreme cinematographic judgment.
