Sorry. Chile, late '80s. A massive difference. You win.

A massive difference.
Well, yeah...
Anyways, my point was just that it's not particularly supposed to be what I'd call 'great looking'. As I said, I like the film, and I adore the crappy video look.

Aguirre: The Wrath of God definitely has that "immersed in a genuinely remote world" feel mentioned upthread.

Yes! I once remember hearing a quote from Kubrick second-hand (so I dunno if its legit, and I certainly ain't quoting it properly) about how with Barry Lyndon he wanted to make a period piece that was so accurate that watching it was like visiting an alien planet. As much as I love BL, I think Aguirre achieves that more effectively than any film I've ever seen.

Aguirre is a minor miracle, and no one involved ever topped it.
Also...
Campion's Bright Star is very pretty.http://images3.static-bluray.com/reviews/2857_5_large.jpg

Ebiri on Bondarchuk's War and Peace, referenced above. I really can't find the time to see it at Lincoln Center, hoping I'll get to see it at home later this year.

The FavouriteMr Turner

I haven't seen The Favourite or Farewell My Queen but I assumed the latter was a new film. Maybe it just got a boost from the association.

Leigh's new one, "Peterloo", great looking as well but not half the film "Mr Turner" was. As I was watching I wished he would just make a killer William Blake biopic - "Peterloo" captures the look and feel of Blake's England.

Angelique series from the 60s starring Michele Mercier - classic or dud?

Loved Portrait Of A Lady On Fire last night, especially as I've been a bit worried by how so many films look recently, this gives me a bit of hope.
I'm sure I've seen something else in the past year, maybe The Lighthouse?
