The Killing (1956)
propelling narrative dynamic
I've seen this movie in the TV. I was just zapping through the channels staying in a hotel for a business trip. I was dragged into this film that had already begun, so I had no idea about title or director. Each instant you had to know how it would continue. I have rarely experienced this incredible sense of drama in the sense that one things makes the next happen in a never discóntinued row. So there is a propelling dynamic in the narration of the film. This is what old greek philosopher Aristoteles described what the main capacity of the drama had to be. When the film was over I learned that it was a Kubrick film. No wonder, I thought. It was the day Kubrick died and they aired it in memoriam.
Fort Saganne (1984)
A true Epos
I've seen this film back in 84 in Geneva. I didn't find it neither played nor talked about ever since and always regretted much that the film is obviously not known at all. I was deeply impressed by the passionate story with large, beautiful images, wonderfully photographed. The length was ok because it was a novel. Depardieu in a role that shows a rare side of him.
