Absolution

This photo mosaic is really cool. (Hint: just keep clicking.)

This weekend I watched Down By Law - which I hadn't seen since film school, and which stars one of the coolest people in the planet, that being Tom Waits - as well as Made in Britain, another disturbing but fascinating film from Alan Clarke, which stars Tim Roth in his film debut. (Roth is so good here it's scary.) If you're looking for new obscure recommendations on Netflix, and can stomach either slow-developing art films with gorgeous black-and-white cinematography (Down By Law) or stories with taboo subject matter (Made in Britain), you might just want to check these two out.

Tonight, I'm going to watch The Fountain and will report back tomorrow. Everything I've read has been medicocre, at best, but several friends loved it, going so far as to compare it to 2001, so I hope the reviews are wrong.
