This is something I will do every now and then if I think it's particularly tough. Here are two haikus for the same film to give you a little more information. Good luck guessing.
A devoted wife
seeks the arms of other men
to please her husband.
A crippled husband
buries his wife at sea and
hears bells from heaven.

Premiere Haiku

is institutionalized

Inaugural Post: Mission Statement
In the Summer of 2007, I began on a project combining my love of film with that of the haiku with the simple goal of writing several haikus for every movie I saw no matter how obscure, foreign, or otherwise. Not knowing exactly what I wanted to do with them at the time, I began writing. Since that time I have written over 2,000 haikus for nearly 350 films. However, I have realized that I didn't start out this project so much for me but for film lovers all over. That's where this blog comes in. Each day I will publish a new haiku sans title for you, the reader, to guess. I'll stick to the crossword puzzle publishing rule of increasing the difficulty of the film as the week progresses. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays will consist of mainly mainstream films that I feel most movie watchers have seen; Thursdays and Fridays will focus more on independent fare and older films; and Saturday and Sunday I will reserve for foreign films and the really independent. I hope you enjoy and forward the blog on to anyone who loves a good film or a "good" haiku (I use that second "good" very loosely). Feel free to post in the comments your guesses, comments, questions, or even films to check out.
