i actually haven't seen my pick for this round, and don't have a copy of it - it's on youtube but isn't subbed. if it's possible for someone to make it available, i'll keep it as my pick, but if it's hard to find, i can easily replace it with another film from the 'best unknown filmmaker in the world' list!

Both strong films, and I could easily have voted for the Vancini, but Inferno was a perfect marriage of form and content - the cinematic equivalent of a bunch of weird occultist prose poems.

Two excellent movies that I wouldn't likely have found without the recommendations.

Documenting Strindberg's harrowing experiences as a victim of the Air Loom...

vs

Eloquent and very stylish post-neoreo/post-fascist melodrama.

i really liked the noirish look of la lunga notte and belinda lee is my new twitter avatar lol. but the strindberg thing was fascinating

Just looked at the page, did you forgot to tick it as watched? Inferno's very obscure stuff, seemingly gathering dust in a vault somewhere after airing on television twice in 1973 before being unearthed for a Strindberg compilation dvd a few years ago.
