zippi Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) correct not such a great film, but more of a zeitgeist thing as it was based on a true story book Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo about essentially children using heroin in 1970's West Berlin. I didn;t know about a remake - will look up.... Edited July 8, 2019 by zippi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway--Spirit of the Beehive Good one Mr BuZZ! Willco It's a great movie and as zippi noticed, wonderfully shot. One can't help but wonder if Guillermo del Toro's excellent Pan's Labyrinth wasn't greatly influenced by this movie. I have hopes SBS shows masterpieces like this in future. P.S.There are copies of this on ebay including The Criterion Collection. You'll have to check what region format they come in. Subtitled in English.

I'm sure you've seen them a 1000 times however in this film they are trying to look different - in a way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imogen Poots has a role (an early-ish role???) as well. The whole cast works so well - and the script....man I gotta watch this again. I think it's streaming on SBS OnDemand currently.

The Late Quartet or something along those lines, Walken tells the quartet he has to give up the group as he has Parkinson's disease as they come to a milestone year as a group.

zippi Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Correct JJ!!!! "The Late Quartet" is the most common name out there. However for some reason it was released in Aus as "Performance". Gave me a whole heap of trouble trying to find a still on the interwebs, once I realised the issue - no worries. Not sure why they did this and I actually find Performance a more compelling title.
