It's always the "red wagon" that gives it away. Your go Trip. :wink:

The lengths some men will go to to get a bit of action! :roll:

And no it's not Nostrodamus either.

Is it Spellbound?

That old Hitchcock gem from the days when psychoanalysis was treated with seriousness?

Afraid not, this film is much earlier than that.

EDIT: Never mind what I said here before, I'll throw this out to whoever wants to put one up, or I'll do one tomorrow morning, whichever is sooner

OK, looking up "German Expressionism" on Wikipedia (cough, cough) won't help with this, but a lot of people will have seen it:

Er, that's not a Derek Jarman film, by any chance, is it? I'll guess Caravaggio, though I haven't seen any Derek Jarman films. Not that there's anything wrong with watching Derek Jarman films. It's probably not Derek Jarman anyway - the picture just makes me think of Derek Jarman for some reason.

heavycola · Post by **heavycola** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 7:01 am

it's not derek jarman - but you're in the right ballpark, sort of

Weird-looking period drama? Ermm, Orlando?

OK different film, same director. Much easier.
