Re-watched a couple of Arrows this week. First up was Climax. Loved this film on first watch a few years ago. It felt like a trip into the unknown with a great set-up and a filmmaker with a reputation for not holding back. As most will know it involves a dance troupe who have been rehearsing and staying in an old school building in the middle of nowhere in the middle of winter. On their last night before going on tour they let their hair down and have a party. But someone spikes the punch with LSD and things go bad. It's not just a hell-ride, though it is gruelling, it's brilliantly made with some incredible choreography and camerawork. And the opening dance is one of the best things I've ever seen.
Then Oldboy. For a film that has a massive twist it was a cracking one to return to. Knowing where it's going you can watch from a different perspective. Really enjoyed watching all the supplemental stuff on the disc too. What an achievement for all involved.
