First off, I really like your music\book selection
But c'mon Letter Never Sent is only worth watching for the camera work – the handheld scenes in the forest and lakes in particular. The Cranes are Flying is Kalatozov's best movie, it actually has a plot rather than an excuse to make pretty pictures. He really should have just gone the Vertov route and made an all out experimental film, though I suppose that was impossible given the state restrictions.

[Anonymous No.4534142]

>>4534044

Yeah - personally Letter would be my favorite film of his, simply because I really enjoy the visual aspect of film in general, and I concur that Kalatozov's camerawork in Letter was stunning. I concede that Cranes had a stronger narrative, but the 'look' of the film is just a greater draw for me personally. I guess I could go either way on them (they are both fantastic). To be honest, I don't really have *favorite* films / books / albums overall - what I consider my favorite changes with my mood. I guess the stuff I've put on that mosaic is the stuff I revisit most often.

Sure I listen to music on the radio, and there are individual songs that I like, but I never sit down and do nothing but listen to an album, and I never have the desire to do so. Thus I don't have a favorite that I can provide that represents my taste. Also, the songs that catch my interest don't hold it for very long. In a couple months the individual songs I like now will be boring to me. I assume most of the albums on this thread are things that people have listened to for years, and I don't have something like that.
