Every time he has a nightmare he makes a movie of it, and he spends over $100 million per movie, so why are you watching his movies when other Hollywood movies cost less to film. Unless of course you like nightmares in which case Speilberg movies are ideal.

The latest product of this movement is a film called "Festen" (meaning "The Party", I do not know what the official English translation is), an absolutely brilliant (and difficult) film which won the Cannes Jury Prize in 1998 but was not nominated for an Oscar--this says more about the Oscar voters than the film. If you have a chance, be sure to see it. Nathan Eric Welch wrote: > I think it's more like black and white is not "real." It abstracts the > subject.
