Pirjo Honkasalo is a Finnish filmmaker that has a great description in her bio that I'm quoting here and wouldn't mind having tattooed on me. She did a film, 3 Rooms of Melancholia, that I've read about and seen clips of and really want to see (below is a clip with Swedish subtitles, ganska fint!). Sadly Icarus Films is the only distributor that seems to have US rights. And they want $440 for it. Intriguing film cannot be seen by interested person. Yeah, the old distribution model needs to crumble and blow away like dessicated dog shit.
"I don't care for truths, for I see all thought as roiling foam that adheres to nothing nor holds fast; but in the time when I am not asleep or dreaming, I wish to know how the human tribe leads its life, shapes its history and expresses its will, which always seeks to improve the human condition and yet wallows, bewildered, in its blood like some elk gone astray in the city and impaled on the spikes of a cemetery fence. It should not happen this way." PH
