Cobra Verde and The Audition

Cobra Verde is the third of the Kinski/Herzog classics I’ve seen. It’s also their last movie together, and the one with the famous suicide scene at the end which, according to Herzog, rendered Kinski unable to act anymore. It’s about slavery, and as usual, it’s both beautiful and very powerful. I strongly suggest everyone see it. It’s a hard movie to give an overview of, because so much of what makes it awesome is just seeing the acting and the settings. $12.00

The Audition was a creepy movie from Japan. I hesitate to call it horror, but I don’t really know what it should be called instead. It gets points for accurately portraying the stupidity of falling in love, at any age. It kind of lost me at the end, the coherence sort of went away. The torture is a bit much. I don’t think I got the “message” of the movie if there is one. If you want to be shocked, and have a good laugh at how screwed up love is, you should see it. $2.50
