Awesome Dance Sequences

This scene is from Meetings with Remarkable Men(1979), a film about the early years of G.I. Gurdjieff. It was directed by long-time Gurdjieffian Peter Brook, who was also a director of the Royal Shakespeare Theater Company. What is unusual about the film is the almost Bressonian even-temper of the actors, as if their personalities were somewhat repressed during filming. Even Terence Stamp, who was a supporting actor in this film, seemed unusually flat and opaque. It made me wonder if this acetic quality was something Robert Bresson himself knew from possibly studying Gurdjieff? Afterall, Gurdjieff described his "work" being partly derived from Christianity, Bresson's faith.

Overall, the film was hard to watch, if interesting in retrospect. These dance sequences, known as 'movements', were designed by Gurdjieff for advanced students of the work, and were the most fascinating bits of the film. I was especially in awe of the first sequence seen here.

this song makes me happy

Death Metal Dog

I found consistent work (knocker on woodsys) for now, it's raining in L.A., and I just ate a turkey sandwich.

What a perfect time for Death Metal Dog.

Herzog Rogue Film School

I was excited about this until I realized the $1000+ admission fee plus the registration fee if you were to be allowed into the 'school', a roving film education seminar headed by Herzog himself. But it is exciting to know that if you're hungry for it, this is available to you.

I've come to realize that my disappointment that comes with finding out about fees and such is a symptom is not wanting to 'pay' for knowledge, self-reliance, or whatever self-nurture one needs. Having studied Gurdjieff, who vaguely looks like Herzog, I realize that for WHATEVER improvement I seek, I must PAY. Without suffering and payment nothing is received. At the ripe of 33, I know this to be true.
