I eventually want to see Megalopolis too.

I like watching art house movies and then figuring out what I don’t like about it. Even the ones everyone loves. Magnolia was one people loved and I just didn’t get.

Yeah, well the thing is for me a lot of those types of movies are great but some are absolute trash. And then there are some that I have a lot of mixed feelings about. I don’t really get most David Lynch movies for example, but I’ve rarely felt like watching them were a waste of time because at least you’ll see something interesting. Then there’s total bizarre experience films. I have no fucking clue what Holy Mountain was, but I was fascinated by it.

The issue with this film however seems to be that not only is it incoherent and rambling, it’s also incredibly dull.

Have you seen it or are you just repeating other people’s opinions?

I could not get through The Holy Mountain. I like some art films, but not the ones that drag. That one seriously dragged.

I sort of enjoyed it. Like I said, it was bizarre and confusing but I’m glad weird movies like that can be made sometimes. If nothing else just to explore what can be done on film.

Have you seen Aimy in a Cage? It’s a great example of that. It’s an art house film that does many things right, but unfortunately “something” wrong (I think related to editing or cinematography) so it’s not very good.
