5.0 out of 5 stars The Bed You Sleep in, July 30, 2000
By Thomas Tsang (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
"The Bed You Sleep in" by Jon Jost, is a beautifully crafted film set amongst the landscape of Oregon. It came as a complete surprise to me, having been introduced to his work for the first time, via a friend, and not knowing what to expect. It's a film that manages to be both thought-provoking and disturbing on the one-hand and also lyrical and a visual pleasure to watch. Viewers will find their patience rewarded, (arguably the pace is slower than what we have become accustomed to in mainstream Hollywood films), as no other film I have seen in the last five years looks at family life in America with such acuity and frankness as this minor gem by Jost. Superb also is the acting by Tom Blair and Ellen McLaughlin, reaching new levels of intensity. Throughout the film we always feel that we are party to extraordinary events occuring just beneath the surface of small town American life. Check out also the luminous photography by Jost himself, featuring many special effects that evertheless always add to rather than detract from the storyline.

This is a film builds and builds to a final shattering effect.I for one was reduced to tears and this will be a film that will remain with the viewer long after the final credits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Film, December 15, 2003
By jeffrey a. saunders (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bed You Sleep in (DVD)
This film blew me away, but I am a sucker for the excrutiatingly long shot. The best film I have seen in years.

5.0 out of 5 stars my take on the movie, November 23, 2002
By gt (santa fe, nm USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bed You Sleep in (DVD)
This was a fascinating film and in my opinion, the whole point of the srtuggle was caused by the rape of the forests by a normal man who did not realize his actions until it was too late.
Sure there are long, slow shots, but worth setting the tone. Music was also perfect.

1.0 out of 5 stars too slow too ambigious
While Jost is getting praise for his daring use of the long still shot, it lost its punch about 1/3 of the way through the film. Read more

While the dialogue drags a bit, the deliberate, measured pace of this film enhance the moodiness and the tragic message. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars FIVE STARS FOR THE FILM, ZERO STARS FOR THE DVD
This is definitely one of the greatest films ever made, arguably Jon Jost's best film to date. However, this DVD's treatment of the film is atrocious. Read more

Acting is superb,but the long tedious shots of the small town are as exciting as watching an X-Ray film I kept wanting to fast forward. Read more
