One of the most inventive filmmakers of our day...
...and you've probably never heard of him. I've had the opportunity to discover the films of Nacho Vigalondo and wish to share his films with you. The Spanish filmmaker has a website for his Academy Award-nominated short film 7:35 in the morning which is horrifically romantic or romantically horrific. I'm leaning towards the former. That film has English subtitles. Unfortunately for you people of the English-speaking countries (most of you, judging from the comments section) are missing out on the brilliant Codigo 7, which is the most hilarious and smart Philip K. Dick tribute/indictment of slackerdom serial I have seen this year. All three sections are on-line and if you understand Spanish I hope you'll enjoy it. If you can't then you will probably think the whole thing makes no sense. I assure you it does and is wonderful.
It's a sign of the times (and perhaps whatever personal dysfunctions may exist) when the most up-and-down relationship I have is with a television show. It is a relationship I share with millions of other people. Thankfully the second season finale was mostly of the "up" category. This episode never felt like it was plodding, like past episodes were. Instead answers and questions alike were being thrown my way and I was soaking it up.
Heather Havrilesky and Andrew Dignan both offer write-ups that contained enough insight to have me appreciate parts of the show I never picked up on before. Havrilesky's character rundown in particular is fine work. Lost's crew has made me a sucker for season three and I like it.
