Merzbow Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Has anyone seen Shirkers? I don't want to give too much away because it's such a wild ride that steadily unfolds but I watched it last night and it's probably the best documentary I've seen on film-making, a tad self indulgent but I'm 100% for that. The basic premise is that three hip, edgy young women and a creepy older man film what would be the first(?) experimental movie in Singapore.

Merzbow Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Yeah I saw that, pretty fun but a little short and skips a hell of a lot when it comes to the actual games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a film about SS nut job Otto Rahn and his search for the Holy Grail, so I can’t rule it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 19, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) You Can't Kill David Arquette - went in expecting this to be a bit naff but really enjoyed it. Bit of a loveletter to Pro Wrestling with Arquette trying to win some respect in the business by giving another go 20 years after the fact. Some of it blurs the line between fact and fiction but itswell made, suprisingly affecting and Arquette comes off like a real good guy.

SuperBacon Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Once Upon A Time In Iraq is an incredible documentary, which made me angry and sad. In hindsight, watching it all in one go was a bit much. The resilience, humour and strength that the Iraqi people demonstrate is at times, awe inspiring, and this is brilliantly put together. The Beach: Isolation In Paradise features an Australian film maker (Warwick Thornton), living in a tin shack in Western Australia. Not much else to add really, that's pretty much it. You'll like it if you like the 'slow TV' genre as it really just shows him sitting around, cooking, fishing, playing guitar but it's strangely compelling. Makes me feel sweaty just from watching it, I couldn't handle that environment. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000mtkq/the-beach-isolation-in-paradise-series-1-episode-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
