CQ-2002-When your dad is an Academy Award winning director who owns his own movie studio you can do anything you want! Roman Coppola has. He wrote and directed this weird "81/2" like story which takes most of it's influence from French "new wave" films.
Jeremy Davies (who later played Charles Manson in a TV remake of HELTER SKELTER) is a young film editor who winds up helming a troubled sci-fi film in Paris after 2 directors are fired (one is played by Gerald Depardieu). Model Angela Lindvall is pretty hot as the film within a film's heroine named Dragonfly. Giancarlo Giannini (who was in HANNIBAL the same year) is the Dino DeLaurentis (?) like producer. Sofia Coppola has a small role as his wife and Dean Stockwell, Billy Zane and John Phillip Law have supporting roles. I kind of wanted to like this movie but it's too boring and pretentious.
THE FAIRY FAITH-2001-This short film features interviews with people (mostly from Ireland) who believe fairies exist. A short history of their legend is also included. An artist shows off his "fairy inspired" paintings and another gentlemen uses a kind of divining rod to find "fairy energy" on a hilltop. I would have liked it better if they'd captured the little guys on film though.....
Thanks for reading this!
PS-The title has nothing to do with this post. I just felt like using it!
