"Avalon"
Who has ever heard of a film called "Avalon" by the Japanese manga designer Mamoru Oshii ? I saw it the other day and found it extremely good : a cult film for players like us. However I was extremely disappointed in the end...or I did not understand it at all (its real hard to watch a movie with kids playing around ya know) : I probably missed a few key points. Anybody seen it that can clue me in ? I did a search on Google for sites but there are just too many Avalon named shit...There seems to be no site dedicated to it.

Sounds like a good movie.
For informations on movies in general, I like the 'internet movie database' - imdb.com; here's Avalon: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0267287/ *weird* film endings sometimes yield to various interpretations by some viewers, which then can be found on their message board (see links at the bottom of that page). I didn't access these links for Avalon because of potential spoiler risk... but may be you find some explanation there. |

Thanks Grille !
I have now found 2 great sites in French talking about this movie, it confirmed what I was suspecting, its a very good movie by the director of "Ghost in the Shell" (anybody seen that ? its an absolute must ...) The ending is very artistic, just like the whole movie, but lets not spoil anyone, just check the movie out and lets talk about it !

Was looking for Conquests some day last week. Couldn't find it.
Being a great fan of science fiction, I settled for this movie. Haven't watched it yet. BTW, anyone has seen Cronenberg's eXistenZ? Which centers round a similar topic.
