Search: Salesman. trying to hide the fact that it's all being filmed was a stupid idea, but it has moments of brilliance e.g. while the salesman gets the wife to fill out forms for the expensive and gaudy bible, the husband walks over to a huge wooden stereo set and turns on a beatles song ... or rather, a warbly, muzak version of a beatles song.
Destroy: Koko, the gorilla who talks. not much of a film. if you've seen a talking gorilla segment on pbs you've seen them all. the philosophical stuff is rather basic.

no thread for Kalatozov but The Cranes Are Flying and Letter Never Sent are great, looking forward to seeing I Am Cuba next week.

I've only seen Letter Never Sent, but I was blown away by it

wow, i have a different idea of what is obscure now.
The Tales of Beatrix Potter on the criterion channel has under 400 imdb votes. I don't do drugs, but it was a treat to watch it when I was drowsy.
