I was a bit underwhelmed. Perhaps I should've taken Anasazie's advice and went with The River.

Yea but Anasazie and RNL like that one the most. Anyway it doesn't really matter that much what order you watch them. I think the latest is the most optimistic but, it didn't quite move me as much either, not as cathartic a response for me. It's still great though.

I never allow myself to be influenced in the smallest degree either by the atmospheric disturbances or by the arbitrary divisions of what is known as time.I would willingly reintroduce to society the opium pipe of China or the Malayan kris but I am wholly and entirely without instruction in those infinitely more pernicious and moreover quite bleakly bourgeois implements the umbrella and the watch

What is it supposed to be, a narrative of their personal artistic development? Auteurism run amok, that.

You see their vision develop, and it's probably easier to understand their work if you experience their films in chronological order.

I must say, I Don't Want to Sleep Alone is quite easily the dullest and least imaginative of them all.
