Because you couldn\u2019t speak directly. For example, The Eccentrics was perceived as a fairy tale, but in fact, it\u2019s an ode to freedom!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, for viewers of any age, the lesson gained is to be one\u2019s self, no matter how eccentric, and to go after what brings you joy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2023\/jun\/12\/the-eccentrics-review-eldar-shengelaia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Guardian <\/a>says:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Georgian director Eldar Shengelaia\u2019s film Blue Mountains from 1983 has already been showcased on the Klassiki streaming service: a clever satire of Soviet bureaucracy. Now one of his earlier films, from 1973, has been revived; aptly entitled The Eccentrics, it is a very different proposition. You\u2019d be hard put to divine a political or satirical meaning here exactly, although you can find one if you really want. This is more a daft, knockabout comedy, a festival of silliness which looks like something the Georgian cousin of Richard Lester or Terry Gilliam might have made. It is a wacky, goofy fantasy that comes into its own in the final 15 minutes and lets you forgive it for all the broad indulgence that has gone before.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>My take: You have to go into this film with a big heart and open mind. It\u2019s got a silliness to it that recalls some Monty Python skits. Most of the time when I see that in a film I move on.<\/p>\n<p>But, somehow, it works here. As mentioned, it does evoke a kind of fairy-tale quality that makes forgiving some goofiness a lot easier. The final scenes are downright beautiful. I\u2019m glad I watched it but only once: \u2b50.<\/p>\n<p>Director: Eldar Shengelaia<\/p>\n<p>Writer: Revaz Gabriadze<\/p>\n<p>Plot (Spoilers!):<\/p>\n<p>Ertaoz is a young man with a mission. He intends to sell a chicken. Instead, he falls in love with a married woman, Margalita.<\/p>\n<p>Our hero helps the fickle temptress bury her dead policeman husband. Things go awry when the man turns out to be alive. Ertaoz is sentenced to ten years in a hellhole prison. The chicken gets seven.<\/p>\n<p>In the pen he meets Khristofor, an inventor who has spent years perfecting his design for an airship that is powered by love. The two attempt to escape and fail spectacularly, but accidently break out anyway. They get about building their machine and the movie ends with the man, the inventor, and the lady escaping to freedom over a beautiful Georgian countryside.  <\/p>\n<p>***<br \/>Bonuses:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"GBp0R43Hai\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rarefilmm.com\/2026\/06\/criminal-tango-1985\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Criminal Tango (1985)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u201cCriminal Tango (1985)\u201d \u2014 rarefilmm | The Cave of Forgotten Films\" src=\"https:\/\/rarefilmm.com\/2026\/06\/criminal-tango-1985\/embed\/#?secret=sAQq2WZv1I#?secret=GBp0R43Hai\" data-secret=\"GBp0R43Hai\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"uk4ZW5Gi9F\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rarefilmm.com\/2026\/07\/a-naplo-1966\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">A napl\u00f3 (1966)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u201cA napl\u00f3 (1966)\u201d \u2014 rarefilmm | The Cave of Forgotten Films\" src=\"https:\/\/rarefilmm.com\/2026\/07\/a-naplo-1966\/embed\/#?secret=2QPuHIIxLK#?secret=uk4ZW5Gi9F\" data-secret=\"uk4ZW5Gi9F\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"eGSBFTgbS4\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rarefilmm.com\/2026\/07\/oj-nie-moge-sie-zatrzymac-1976\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Oj Nie moge sie zatrzymac (1976)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u201cOj Nie moge sie zatrzymac (1976)\u201d \u2014 rarefilmm | The Cave of Forgotten Films\" src=\"https:\/\/rarefilmm.com\/2026\/07\/oj-nie-moge-sie-zatrzymac-1976\/embed\/#?secret=Dx5Zamb1Vy#?secret=eGSBFTgbS4\" data-secret=\"eGSBFTgbS4\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"kD65xsRVRF\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rarefilmm.com\/2026\/07\/tango-1981\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Tango (1981)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u201cTango (1981)\u201d \u2014 rarefilmm | The Cave of Forgotten Films\" src=\"https:\/\/rarefilmm.com\/2026\/07\/tango-1981\/embed\/#?secret=bfpwasyCzs#?secret=kD65xsRVRF\" data-secret=\"kD65xsRVRF\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Eloy \u2013 Ocean (1977) Full Album<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Poseidon\u2019s Creation: 00:00<br \/>Incarnation of Logos: 11:44<br \/>Decay of Logos: 20:12<br \/>Atlantis\u2019 Agony at June 5th \u2013 8498, 13 P.M.

These anthologies feature fantasias, dances, and vocal intabulations, showcasing refined polyphony and cosmopolitan style.<br \/>Gregor Huwet (c.1550\u20131617), praised by Robert Dowland, served as a court lutenist in Brunswick. His surviving works\u2014fantasias, pavanes, and galliards\u2014blend contrapuntal depth with expressive ornamentation, bridging Renaissance and early Baroque idioms.<br \/>Joachim van den Hove (1567\u20131620), a pupil of Adriaenssen, fled north after the Fall of Antwerp and became a prominent lute teacher in Leiden. His printed collections (Florida, 1601; Delitiae Musicae, 1612) combine original pieces with intabulations of Italian madrigals and French chansons, marked by elegance and technical brilliance.<br \/>Adriaen Smout (1578\u20131646) is known for compiling the Thysius Lute Book, an immense manuscript of over 900 pieces. It preserves a wide repertoire of dances, psalm settings, and popular tunes, offering a vivid picture of domestic music-making in the Dutch Republic.<br \/>Finally, Nicolas Vallet (c.1583\u2013c.1642), a French Huguenot in Amsterdam, authored Le Secret des Muses (1615\u20131616) and Regia Pietas (1622). His music combines Renaissance clarity with emerging Baroque expressiveness and includes Calvinist psalm settings for lute.<br \/>Together, these figures illustrate the lute\u2019s central role in Dutch musical life, balancing art music traditions with vernacular culture.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lute music from the Dutch Golden Age\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D_L40yOelec?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) | The Deleted Scene That Revealed the Aliens True Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Stanley Kubrick\u2019s 2001: A Space Odyssey originally featured a much darker, world-ending finale that was hidden from theatrical audiences. Discover the deleted nuclear climax, the Apollo 11 conspiracy, and the ending explanation Kubrick kept secret for 40 years.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For over half a century, audiences have tried to decode the enigmatic conclusion of 2001: A Space Odyssey. However, the iconic Star Child sequence you saw in theaters was not the original plan. Early drafts involved a devastating nuclear climax echoing Dr. Strangelove, which Kubrick intentionally erased to preserve the film\u2019s cosmic mystery. This shift in narrative turned a direct commentary on humanity\u2019s self-destruction into one of cinema\u2019s most debated philosophical endings. <\/p>\n<p>Behind the scenes, the production of this sci-fi masterpiece was equally complex. From discarding four separate Monolith designs to intentionally destroying virtually all the physical props to prevent their reuse in B-movies, Kubrick\u2019s legendary perfectionism shaped every frame. He even built a studio so technically accurate that visiting NASA officials affectionately nicknamed it \u201cNASA East.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film\u2019s legacy extends far beyond its groundbreaking practical effects. Its release fueled enduring cultural myths\u2014from the stubborn conspiracy that Kubrick faked the Apollo 11 moon landings to ancient alien theories sparked by the Monolith. Meanwhile, HAL 9000\u2019s chilling breakdown stands as an early, highly accurate warning about the AI alignment problem, an issue technology researchers are still aggressively battling today. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) | The Deleted Scene That Revealed the Aliens True Purpose\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-_BN-w7oFQA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Porter Chevrolet Santa Disaster<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Every Christmas, a vintage picture circulates on facebook, of a giant Santa sitting on top of a car dealership holding a car.
