We have not read a single novel from him but if time and fate permits, it'll definitely be in our cards.<BR/><BR/>Sitenoise - Darth Vader's head signifies an iconic symbol of utmost coolness and we'd prefer if Vader utters the sentence. The movie itself (Face of Another) would be represented by the black helmet.<BR/><BR/>By the way...we're not really well-versed with Transformers lore but are you a Decepticon?1minutefilmreviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809587879409604427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904006883321855933.post-29235266583001607562008-08-12T18:40:00.000-07:002008-08-12T18:40:00.000-07:00"Who's Your Daddy?" You're killing me! Wouldn't yo..."Who's Your Daddy?" You're killing me! Wouldn't you love it if Ebert would have said that once instead of a thumbs up? But shouldn't it be the Face of Another saying that to Darth?<BR/><BR/>In any event I have the film ordered up and am looking forward to it. Getting Woman in the Dunes as well.sitenoisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14026224029440247436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904006883321855933.post-19274453559723295142008-08-12T11:31:00.000-07:002008-08-12T11:31:00.000-07:00Yay, hyperbole!

He worked closely with the novelist Kobo Abe, on whose work several of Teshigahara's films were best. If you liked the film, I'd highly recommend Abe's novels -- the source novel <I>The Face of Another</I> is as good as the film, and ditto for many of Abe's other surrealist classics. My personal favorite is <I>The Box Man</I>.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904006883321855933.post-59954987074456395092008-08-12T10:13:00.000-07:002008-08-12T10:13:00.000-07:00Sitenoise - Thank you, kind sir.

Anyway, please do get a copy of this magnificent film.<BR/><BR/>Of all the films in our 'Who's Your Daddy?' category, this one really epitomizes what it means in our ratings system. Hell, it should even come with the head of Darth Vader and the sentence 'Who's Your Daddy?' should be in a speech bubble coming out of Vader's mouth! That's how good the film is. Now run and get it today!

Its wonderful script resonate with profound relevance and compared with many of the movies today, it is indeed a work of staggering artistry. This is why we stated that it was the best film we've ever watched in our entire lives. <BR/><BR/>In the events of our untimely deaths, our crusade to advertise this film will be passed to you and others who have read the review. Every movie lover should watch this now! (We'd like to say also that if Criterion would like to pay us for helping them market the movie, we wouldn't mind in the least bit.)1minutefilmreviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809587879409604427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904006883321855933.post-37819173736373365272008-08-11T20:25:00.000-07:002008-08-11T20:25:00.000-07:00"We fell deeply in love with this film.
