@siskoid that's what depression and a lack of self-confidence do to people. What would you expect, someone who comes across as extremely extrovert and entertaining? Ironically enough, you're underlining the relevance of this film with your review.
Couldn't we remove the 1-vote films? I see how a list with only 10 films, like the original, might be a bit short, but then include all films with at least 2 or 3 votes. Including every random vote makes a poll meaningless. The list then turns into a random critics list, with the critics being unknown.
I watched the Youtube version with Italian subs. Just enough to understand it for me, but I'm still wondering whether there are any English subs around.
Basically it's just a few poems by Manuel Bandeira, the Brazilian poet displayed in this short.
Actually not as bad as I expected. Not your average Bollywood crapfest. Quite entertaining if you view it as a decent B film, though it's really way too long.
@russa03: so I did when I first added the list to iCM, but when I got the adoption request, the list moderators explicitly asked me to include them. Like one of them said in the new lists thread on the forum: "I want iCM to be a good source of information about lists, so people should be able to see the original list on iCM without having to look at the original source."
The link is dead (mod-edit: dead link below removed).
Here's another one, with an interesting commentary (by a film historian who even has an accent that's similar to Mark Cousins'!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQWqP7NAkz8

I think this list should be brought back to the original, with just a top 25. All these one-vote films make a list meaningless.Movie comment on Nude on the Moon

Gershwin
This seems to be a version from 2'45'', to a certain extent.Looks like it's not very different from John Cage's 4'33".

Did you consider adding Akerman's News From Home?I've almost finished it, and I'd call that a city symphony as well.
