Got The Turin Horse out from the library. (I actually signed it out last year and returned it unwatched.) I didn't find it as weirdly interesting as Satantango or Werckmeister Harmonies, but it looked great, even at home, and it's the kind of thing where I want to go into school tomorrow and play the last scene for my students. Just so they can confront something that's beyond anything they can even begin to get their minds around, and in the hope that a couple of them will vaguely remember it years later. (Sort of like when my grade 8 teacher showed us an NFB film of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery." I never forgot that.) The look on the old guy's face when his daughter would dress him was something. I was at a screening of Barry Lyndon yesterday, and the one line near the end describes that look very well: "utterly baffled and beaten," with a little extra baffled throw in, and even a strange sort of defiance. Their dinnertime ritual might be the most miserable thing I've ever seen in a film.

whoa! is the "intermission filmstrip bookmark" like a snip of the intermission frames from the actual film?

My guess is: no, just a reproduction
