@cn I was just rewatching for the nth time one of my all time favorite films, Until The End Of The World. The protagonists hop around many countries (Italy, France, Germany, Russia, China, Japan), but the main action is in Australia, and Coober Pedy is where it kicks off with a priceless scene between Sam Neill and William Hurt.

@macgenie Added to watchlist. Read the IMDB plot as well, and think it sound very promising.

@macgenie so are the words really random?

@cn I am taking it on faith from the Random Word Generator. But I think they must pull from a database of frequently-used words. Other than woebegone, they’ve been pretty usable.

@macgenie do you suppose any other sequences of three words yield a geographic location?

@odd @odd You might want to watch in two sittings, with Australia as the alert for an intermission. It’s wide-ranging in more ways than one. Your fellow Scandinavian Max Von Sydow is really great.

@macgenie someone else who likes Until the End of the World! Years since I’ve seen it now. Strange, melancholic and beautiful. And I just checked - I had forgotten it is a Wim Wenders film. Makes sense.

@macgenie I was recently in Germany and bought the DVD set with the directors cut. Looking forward to revisiting the film.

@strandlines We need a support group. It’s still my answer when someone asks what’s your favorite movie. There are many great movies, but this one was so dazzling and fun. And prescient!
