Enter the Void is meh...  Could have been a 100 times better if they didn't
spend ages trying to get the viewer to understand the themes.  Good if
you're on LSD I guess.

Tarkovksy's movies are challenging, mostly because they are in Russian, are
often very surreal, and deal with difficult themes.  Not easy viewing.

The Massive Attack video is Unfinished Sympathy.  The one where they follow
the singer (Shara Nelson) around the city.  They used to play that and Safe
From Harm on Zero Hour Zone on TV4 (who remembers that?).  I thought you
were talking about a movie called Massive Attack hehe.

I liked Gravity.
