I felt empty after watching The Leopard. Three hours of nothing much happening… But I can’t help but love Luchino Visconti’s earlier films.

May I know where you get hold of great movies (especially foreign and classic films) in the Philippines? I couldn’t find a decent video store with movies worth watching when I went back to the Philippines last year, or I guess I was looking at the wrong places.

This is my lame attempt at making haikus about the movies that I’ve recently watched.
