American movie spoofed with Mark Borchardt played with a psychopathic serial killer vibe.
And First cousin once removed could probably be hilarious with the right twists in the plotline.
I remember i thought he did not look quite well when i saw him in The house that jack built, sad news.
Having seen all his films i would definitely recommend you give Alps a viewing.
It has all his trademarks, strange universe with specific rules, dark humor and great acting.
And the premise is extremely original, from IMDB: "A group of people start a business where they impersonate the recently deceased in order to help their clients through the grieving process."
Now that is an interesting setup.
I have only seen it once, at the cinema in 2011, but i am going to revisit it at a later date.
That is a fair point, but Noé does the same thing in I stand alone, Irriversible and Enter the void..
One thing i have learned over the years, metascore is much closer to my personal taste then Imdb.
Listen to metacritic if you want to know the artistic importance of a film
Listen to imdb if you want to know the popularity of a film.
I share that attitude, about no film being perfect.
I have rated 2803 movies on imdb, 3 of those i actually gave a 10.
I guess Se7en, 2001 a space odyssey and There will be blood are perfect films in my mind.
The haunting of Hill House though, is just another disappointment.
Bland, sterile, predictable and toothless.
Everyone on screen looks like a glamour model, a common problem in american network tv.
Makes you never forget this is just paid actors on a set speaking lines from a poorly written script.
Seriously, the dialog is terrible.
The script treats the audience like we are idiots, 90% of the dialog is just exposition.
The writers must have forgotten the first rule of filmmaking 101: show, don't tell, film is a visual medium.
