Epics for next year
Chances are we’ll have a DVD player in the lounge next semester, so I’m collecting a list of epics to watch–
Russian Ark, for sure. Shot in the Hermitage in one single, uncut, 90-minute steadicam shot.
Lonsesome Dove (probably will end up watching this one alone, if at all). 1989 miniseries; 6 hours; abnormally compelling western.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy — Perhaps the dullest, yet still the best miniseries yet produced.
Also recommended: Ben Hur, Cleopatra.
