10 year plan

Work in progress, till now i've just haphazardly enjoyed art-house cinema, this decade i shall go insanely serious with it all and raise my enjoyment to such a level of intensity it make your head spin and green stuff gush out of your mouth!

2021

INGMAR BERGMAN - Already under way, there will be a lot to munch on, and a perk will be being able to write detailed reviews on Letterboxd. Ingmar's oeuvre is outstanding, his great work begins in the 50's up to his last works, some misfires, for me so far The Serpent's Egg is the turkey of the bunch. Over time, and hopefully future releases of unseen yet works, and plenty of books a new and informed viewpoint will be reached.

2022

VOLKER SCHLONDORRF - The year for the New German Cinema, it would be nice if i could upgrade on these, but i don't have a say, will need to get more from Wenders and Volker, and other directors too, there's even i saw a film directed by a female member of the German New Wave on Ingmar, blendings like that will be lovely.

undecided what will be for the next 8 years, but some directors i shall consider diving deeply into:

1) KIESLOWSKI - This Polish master has a hard to spell first name

2) JEAN LUC GODARD - I might want to wait for a massive upgrade for him.

3) AKI KAURISMAKI

4) DAVID LYNCH

5) ROBERT ALTMAN

6) YASUJIRO OZU

7) ERIC ROHMER

8) JACQUES RIVETTE

9) LUIS BUÑUEL

10) ROBERT BRESSON

11) FRITZ LANG

12) ALFRED HITCHCOCK

13) FEDERICO FELLINI

14) AGNES VARDA

others like Pasolini, Jarman, Kurosawa, Mizoguchi, Chantal Akerman, so far Margeurite Duras is hard to come by, that could be a real nice surprise for the future. And Paolo Sorrentino as a sort of modern day Fellini, have not seen any of his stuff yet.

With hopefully many new discoveries and divergences, small filmography directors shall also prove beneficial to pay close attention to in say a month duration.

This is how i should have approached it all in 2005, but what i was doing then was discovering for the first time, and for much of the directors there weren't at the time any comprehensive sets for them, and many titles unavailable. And before anyone says you can easily watch them online, no no no, a thousand times no, i shall always and only watch films on disc. A few months ago i would have specified dvd, but gratefully Blu-ray is incorporated, this is revolutionary, as it now opens the floodgates for me as consumer and collector, i not only consume, i collect, i need to tactilely have the item, i need it not to be taken away, i must have ownership of them, and not be at the mercy of fickle rights issues.
