NY Times obit, here.
My fave movie of his is Vincent and Theo, but I was always astounded at each of his films I saw...that controlled chaos, dramatic realism...his ballsy way of letting dialogue slip away or be purposefully trampled...
There are *many* films of his I have wanted to see for years. Infamously (in my apartment, anyway), my last film I ever got from Netflix was "Short Cuts." I never watched it (it's dauntingly 187 minutes long). This remained in my apartment, by the DVD player for OVER three months. I finally bit the bullet, sent it back and cancelled my subscription to the Great DVD Rental Arrangement.
The shame, the shame.

you should read, ShortCuts, at least--raymond Carver.
short cuts is total magic -- I will watch it with you some day!
p.s. I just sent back three movies I haven't watched. I'm not telling you what they were because I'll feel bad. But three more are coming and one of them is Jesus is Magic! Yay!
