The Dardennes' "The Fils" is the definition of
delibrately paced and explodes at the end.

Indeed. It's a true masterpiece.

No less a person than Stanley Kubrick agreed with us.

Was that the real Stanley Kubrick of the fake one?

You have to be careful whom you invite to your parties, Jake.

Re: Your Favorite Delibrately Paced Film

I dunno. I consider "Deliberately paced" to be a euphemism for "Slow."

Yeah, it's definitely used that way sometimes.

I figured, for the purposes of this thread, "deliberately paced" kind of meant "slow and meticulous, but not boring" (since we're talking about our favorites).

Another favorite of mine that I think fits this definition of deliberately paced -- although people don't usually think of it this way because it's pretty continuously scaring the crap out of them even as it plods steadily along -- is Alien.

Aliens, on the other hand, is the opposite of deliberately paced. But it's great, too.

Whaddya mean? He was over here last night. This was definitely Stanley Kubrick. Oh wait...he looked just like John Malkovich. Weird...
