I forgot how beautiful this movie was. The blues and reds are so vivid and deep. The use of close ups and minimalist framing is so great. I knew it was one of the most emotionally poignant movies Ive ever seen, but on second watch Im realizing its also one of the most visually stunning. Second time around was even better than I could have imagined. The perspective of the viewer is now more in line with that of the main character, as it is a story of memories, causing the ending to hit that much harder. The performances stand out as well of course, I cat imagine anything better than this. It feels so authentic. Everything comes together to make one of the most powerful endings Ive ever seen, one of the best debuts of all time, and one of my favorite movies ever.

Great music, great suspense, great filming of sports, to be honest I liked just about everything. Marty pings back and forth between the goofy underdog who you want to see win and an arrogant good for nothing friend and lover, ping, pong, ping, pong, ping, pong. He is an American hero.

Almost every interesting moment, the few that there are, repeats twice. A funny joke is reused later. An unfunny joke goes on until it is exhausted and then goes on longer. An absolutely abysmal film. Parts 1 and 3 are useless. They just add time on either side of the boring part 2. I like the music parts but that is about the end of it. This film does nothing extraordinary at all.

On rewatch I find it better than ever. In the theater I find it better than ever (although sitting in a theater seat is only comfortable for so long). Despite its length I find my self intrigued for just about every minute. The slow pace never leaves me feeling restless but instead relaxed. In a weird way, it is easy viewing. The seven hours don't fly by, but they don't drag either, they sit in the middle, exactly where they should be. Tarr's camera moves and zooms and does both at the same time like I've never seen before. It's truly mesmerizing. There is a shot of an owl I find especially great. There is also a great beauty in Satantango which is so special. And the sound design and music is amazing. I have lots of good things to say, it's awesome and you probably should see it.

Expands on the themes of Mulholland Drive and amps up the nightmare qualities significantly. Its horror elements work on subconscious level, all culminating into one image (for me anyway). And the credit scene rocks, I love to see it.

Like everyone else says, it is really amazing how authentically 60s this feels. Every detail is perfect to my eyes. A film of little moments surrounding a grand event, we can see the reality of what happened. Makes complete use of its runtime, always moving and knowing when to take its time to breath. And once again, the silence is so good!

Thinking back on this just hours later, I felt so satisfied, as if I was full after a great meal. Wiseman takes a detailed look at so many parts of this restaurant and the family who runs it, and then everything around it, from the grass that feeds their cows to the mold that cures their cheese. Nothing is missed (actually I'm sure lots is missed but this movie can't go on forever). And all this with beautiful shots of the restaurant, kitchen, pastures, and sky above.

I could watch this all day long.
