'Valley of the Bees' is amazing too, but there was something about the purity of 'The White Dove' that really worked for me. <br /><br />Broadly speaking, the films on the first list tend to be films I see at festival screenings or which have an official release in the UK in the given year. That said, I saw Silence at a press screening - so it's all quite loose. But, basically, something which can be considered 'new' for one reason or another, and which I had the opportunity to see for the first time that year.

Mind you, it think it may have provoked the same reaction on second and third viewings too. Good to see 'The Best Intentions' on the list. It had me in pieces, blubbing like a leaky faucet. Love Frantisek Vlacil, though I would've put 'Valley of Bees' ahead of 'The White Dove'<br /><br />(How do you determine what qualifies for the first list?

It felt like the work of a (very) skilled disciple, whereas 'Force Majeure' by Ruben Ostlund had a more distinctive voice. I find his discomfiting, sardonic gaze amusing and insightful in equal measure.<br /><br />And what of 'Song of the Sea', the Irish animation?

Florence is a must, in my opinion – though when I was there a lot of it was being restored. Pisa is very nice too, and the Piccolomini Library in Siena is a highlight. There's just so much, really! Staying in a villa is a beautiful way to do it (we stayed near San Gimignano this year, also a lovely place, steeped in history). Feel free to drop me a line once you know where you're staying, and I'll try and give you a few more recommendations.

I am a huge history fan, so I would love to visit all of the areas of historical significance, as well as experience the culture of the country. I've also heard about amazing <a href="http://www.to-tuscany.com/" rel="nofollow">villas for rent in Tuscany</a>, I would love to stay in one, but they are probably very expensive. What was your favorite thing about your vacation? do you have any suggestions for things to do for me?

It demonstrates the unique potency of the cinematic form. Less valid were any assertions or conclusions about 'silent film' drawn from that experience.<br /><br />I suppose what I wanted to correct was the fallacy that films from this era were silent. They weren't. They were presented with musical accompaniment and - in Japan - with narration. In other languages they're known as 'mute' rather than silent, which is a much more appropriate description, I feel.<br /><br />Incidentally, wasn't 'A Page of Madness' one of those films that were lost - for over half a century - the version recovered materially incomplete?<br /><br />It is an amazing thing to behold.unreceivedopinioinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753473145278447562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422220129621251434.post-56410220010296259042013-04-25T11:48:56.793+01:002013-04-25T11:48:56.793+01:00I suppose the question I would ask is, with the kn...I suppose the question I would ask is, with the knowledge that Japanese silent film-makers had that their films would be accompanied by a Benshi, how does that affect the screenwriting and filming process. As big western releases were accompanied by scores, or scoring notes, were Benshi's given notes at the start. Were there pure improv Benshi's or did they prep excessively. I have very little idea how a Benshi would even work in A Page Of Madness.<br /><br />Given that a Benshi would be doing improvised dialogue, the film-maker may aim for less ambiguity, since if the Benshi doesn't get the mood of a moment, they will confuse the entire audience.<br /><br />I thought the screening was fantastic, eye-opening and equally potentially troubling in many of the ways you suggest. (It also made me wonder significantly why it wasn't done in the West - an actor/explainer would have been as cheap as a pianist).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864056394061231807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422220129621251434.post-46055885987274100522013-04-14T22:39:29.779+01:002013-04-14T22:39:29.779+01:00No, not on the disc I have.

Quite the opposite. What I meant was it weaves its complex web from simple means (basic camera moves, etc). They're simple techniques used in extraordinary (and complex) ways. <br /><br />The screening had live music from In the Nursery (so a modern score). But the music, good as it was, didn't make much of an impact – I mean, there's so much going on with the visuals that it's already a sensory overload.
