>>23301120Women go crazy for this movie
>>23301120Wonder BoysMidnight in ParisBarflyNone of those are true kino, but they're good.
>>23301133Understandable its amazing>ywn have your own boy group of poets and lit fan who tries to seduce women with poetry
>>23301137you think midnight in paris is good?
>>23301120I would say the recent series on Julia Child, but that's more /ck/ than /lit/ and they managed to shoehorn muh black politics for no reason at all. The relationship between her and her editor looks so comfy.It's a shame The Secret History is never getting an adaptation any time soon either.
>>23301120The mishima movie
>>23301142I think midnight in your mom was better
Metropolitan is basically a good film.
>>23301162I was looking into watching this one, is it good?
>>23301120i expected to like this movie a lot, but i didn't. i'm not sure why.

>>23301344that's interesting you chose orson's macbeth film. his least well received out of this three shakespeare films by far.
>>23301142It's comfy.
>>23301359Really? It's the only one I've seen and I loved it.
>>23301172Saw this was on Criterion 24/7 last night. Ended up sitting down and watching the whole thing. We need to get Stillman out of director jail.
>>23301367he had to shoot the whole thing in three weeks. i thought it was good too.
pic related is pretty good. the main character is /lit/ incarnate. obnoxious know it all, discusses a lot of the bible and some related theories, jokes about the iliad.The ninth gate is cheesy as fuck but fun.>>23301120>>23301157kino>>23301344some great picks, haven't seen lots of them though.
>>23301120The Mother and the WhoreThe Ice StormHenry FoolCrumb (kinda)Trouble in Paradise (not in content, but in execution)
>>23301120The Ninth Gate (it's also /x/)
>>23301359Polanski's Macbeth is the best.

>>23301142The bits in the past are wonderful. The stuff in the present ranges from good-ish to bad. Michael Sheen especially was wasted by the film.>>23301316What an unbelievably disappointing and not-good movie that was.
>>23301485You are correct about this. I don't even know how many dozens of times I've seen it. I saw it when I was a tweenager and it catapulted me into the world of Shakespeare.
>>23301451This is kino
>>23301207>>23301162corny as hell. lots of interesting quotes, if you like Wallace its probably worth seeing someone's interrelation of him

>>23301120adaptation is sort of about writing
in the mouth of madness
>>23301120One of my personal favorites: Renaissance Man> marketing man gets fired and winds up teaching Shakespeare (Hamlet) to army recruits > stars Danny Devito, Gregory Hines> Directed by Penny Marshall
>>23302249Also, Theater of Blood (1973)> Vincent Price plays an actor who hunts down and kills a slew of critics who humiliated him.> head and shoulders above The Menu

>>23302259>>23302311idk why I replied to you specifically, anon. meant to just post a reply to the thread.
>>23302314No worries. I’ve done that myself. I chalk it up to muscle memory.
>>23301404>naked>guy has clothes on
bump
>>23301207I thought it was pretty cringe at the time. Just read "Although of course you end up becoming yourself" if you're interested in this.
>>23301404Naked is my one of my all time favorites. If you're a lurking 17 year old like I was 15 years ago, check it out
>>23301707>not-good movieso maybe Dexter wasn't the best person to cast in the role of stalker dude
Withnail and ITwo out of work alcoholic actors go up north for a holiday at the end of the 60s. It's hilariousEven has a beautiful rendition of Hamlet at the end
>>23301344Get rid of Welles' Macbeth, in its place put Kurosawa's Throne of Blood. Replace Herzog's Nosferatu with Murnau's superior film. Excalibur and Ran have little of value from their source material. Get rid of all Straub–Huillet, total garbage.
Listen Up Philip
>>23303796replace Welles' Macbeth with his Falstaff film if anything. his Othello - also super
>>23303846Welles wasn't a good actor, his Shakespeare is atrocious and he was only passable as Falstaff because he was fat. Anthony Quayle does the superior performance.
>>23303875His equipment allowed him to be a Shakespearean actor. There are actors more modest or more realistic or more humane and there are actors who imagine themselves in Shakespeare. As for 'atrocious', I'd like to see an otherwise sensible person justify so provocative a claim.
>>23301500underrated
>>23303913Because Shakespeare deserves the best, and when you get mediocrity it's an atrocious performance.
>>23303988stupid. you can do Hamlet on a trapeze and it would still be good (that is; not atrocious)
>>23304038Maybe if your standards for acting don't change between a Jackie Chan movie and Shakespearian theatre. If you're just interested in seeing someone 'act' when watching Shakespeare, why even bother with Shakespeare? Just watch movies and steer clear from obfuscating the bard's work.
>>23304053These plays are so good they stand up to any ill-treatment we can do to them.
>>23304085No, they don't hold up. Because in a performance the plays don't exist, only the performances do. The only alternative to this is appreciating the plays as mute literature. If you want to pretend otherwise then you don't know the first thing about Shakespeare or drama. Shakespeare is so good, he ideally lifts up actors to a much higher sphere than they would be able to attain in most roles, but it depends on the actor rising to that challenge, it's not a matter of the mere scenes and words being spoken making up for BAD ACTING.
>>23304219They've been bringing fame to bad actors and money to bad producers for centuries. In the Victorian era people at dinner parties read out Shakespeare in the living room. Nothing comes between the story and the dialogue.Also, O.W. wasn't a BAD actor, critics said he's egocentric when he appears in camera range; he had a huge personality, you could say he was an actor of the old school (also he was Falstaff, not Hotspur, he doesn't act a role if it wasn't dominating the film).
>>23303875>Welles wasn't a good actor, his Shakespeare is atrociousThere's being contrarian and then there's this. I say this as someone who dislikes Welles's Macbeth.>>23303764What drives me crazy about that damn movie is its sense of insecurity. Nearly every scene is overdone in one way or another, like the filmmakers thought the audience would laugh or yawn if they didn't dress everything up with flashy editing and other gimmicks.The scene with Ogden Nash was terribly done; I had to rewatch it more than once just to tell what was supposed to be going on. A good story, excellent actors, perfectly good production value, and yet the end result is an undistinguished coming-of-age story that's only remembered because of the Harry Potter gay sex scene. The world is still waiting for a good film about that event.
>>23301120I think this counts as /lit
>>23303776Oh my boys, my boys, we are at the end of an age! We live in a land of weather forecasts and breakfasts that set in, shat on by Tories, shovelled up by Labour, and here we are, we three; perhaps the last island of beauty... in the world
>>23301367Polanski's Macbeth for the sped up sword fights
National Treasure.
>>23301207>pynchin
>>23301404Naked's a great pick. It's not specifically/explicitly about literature, but you're absolutely right that it's still hitting on the same tone and themes as some of the best lit
>>23306148Are you a spongeOR are you a stone?
>>23301120Adaptation is the most kino one I have ever seen
Being John Malcovichif you know you know

>>23306273I still don't understand how these are euphemisms and what exactly they're euphemisms for.
>>23304269That's neither here nor there for objective (inb4 it's subjective) aesthetic evaluations.
>>23308000what isn't
