I'm sorry Pogue but it IS genuinely a brilliant film - and I'm not being pretentious!

I happened to get a video copy of it at the local car-boot sale and I dreaded watching it: I mean, sat in front of a tv watching two-&-half-hours of a silent film was daunting, to say the least! But it wasn't. The story was engrossing, the visuals were sumptuous and the metallic/robotic woman both frighting and alluring.

Along with Nosferatu and King Kong, its one of the greatest films ever made.

I agree. I loved it and all. I was surprised at how accessible it was when I finally decided to watch it....must admit to putting it off because it was a silent. But after watching the likes of City Lights, Modern Times, Bride of Frankestein and some other silent movies... I found it, as I said, an easy watch. As for the visuals, they were indeed gorgeous...but being a pretentious art farty cnut, I'm a big fan of all things art deco, so I guess that was one of the reason I loved them. The likes of Tarkovsky are much more difficult to get into... Metropolis on the other hand was engrossing and easy to follow.

And I must give Stalker another try...
