Anchoress (1993)
A spiritual experience
This film must be watched with a quiet spirit and a willingness to let go of well-organized, linear plot development. Those familiar with The Book of Margery Kempe will appreciate the spiritual struggle Anchoress represents as well as the more "feminine" approach to plot. The cinematography is exquisite as well as the acting.
Fellini - Satyricon (1969)
Decadent masterpiece
Try to spend as little time as you can looking at the subtitles because every image of this film is absolutely glorious! Fellini manages to capture the decadence of ancient Rome while acknowledging the profound beauty of existence. This film, I think, more than his others, has a spectacular gallery of faces--from the grotesque to the gorgeous. I would advise taking the film in chunks; it can be extremely overwhelming, even for those who are used to Fellini's extravagant style!
