There is a whole interesting sub-genre of "films too long for a normal human to endure" (even "Celine & Julie" falls into that category, though I notice my kids are happy to sit through Lord-of-the-Rings-athons and Star-Wars-fests ...)<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-66850938424185450462010-11-09T01:58:39.437+00:002010-11-09T01:58:39.437+00:00The Paris Commune photo is a revelation.

I know you've missed a lot of cinema in the past twenty years Mike, but I'm curious if you've ever come across <a href="http://pwatkins.mnsi.net/commune.htm" rel="nofollow"> Peter Watkins' </a> <i>La Commune</i>, from 1999. At nearly 6 hours, I guess it's something of a commitment. But his work - at least the bruising <i>Punishment Park</i> - is like nothing else you'll see. He's truly an inspiration, but naturally not easily seen on the screen.Kent Wileyhttp://www.manmadewilderness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-23455972487137440532010-11-09T00:48:02.414+00:002010-11-09T00:48:02.414+00:00Mike,
