Comments on: It’s four hours long? Jesus. Philosophy of a Knife. http://www.cinema-suicide.com/2008/06/14/philosophy-of-a-knife/ A celebration of cheap thrills Sat, 22 Nov 2008 12:45:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: William Zeus http://www.cinema-suicide.com/2008/06/14/philosophy-of-a-knife/#comment-2594 William Zeus Tue, 18 Nov 2008 17:31:30 +0000 http://www.cinema-suicide.com/?p=281#comment-2594 4 hours and 22 minutes, without including the director's introduction! What is this s__t? The credits are a rip off from David Fincher's Se7en (see also the American "Taking Lives"), the beginning scene with the head flying through the air and landing on snow looks exactly like the infamous shot of Willem Dafoe's head in David Lynch's Wild At Heart. The sound effects sound just like Lynch's Eraserhead, too. The female prisoners look like top-models. At the end of the film it says: "You've been watching an Andrey Iskanov film." Ha. Iskanov thinks we haven't seen Gaspar Noe's ("Irreversible") first feature film, Seul Contre Tous. At the end of that film, a young girl is shot in the neck but she doesn'dtdie, she continues to bleed until the second shot finally comes to finish her off. There is a similar scene at the end of POAK. At the end of Seul Contre Tous it was written: VOUS AVEZ REGARDEZ UN FILM DE GASPAR NOE. What does Iskanov think? That Americans don't understand French so it's okay to act like a parrot and copy Noe and the others? 4 hours and 22 minutes, without including the director’s introduction! What is this s__t?

Glad you agree with Santayana, quote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Good review.

This is easily the best low budget film I have seen in the last decade, I was pretty impressed with this, it didn’t seem like 4 hours at all.

It sounds quite interesting, but I can't help but think you'd get a little numb. I'll probably check it out anyway. 4 hours? Whew.
