>>198596837It's a historical thing so i won't use spoilers>In his film, Wajda does not show the tragic ending. Instead, he presents a symbolic vision of salvation: a train car with Janusz Korczak and the children from the orphanage travelling to Treblinka detaches from the rest of train and in the result the children are rescued and run to a meadow shrouded in fog. This last scene sparked controversy. Some reviewers have pointed out the inadequacy of this metaphor. Others saw in it the glorification of Christian heaven. The most extreme voices argued that the director committed historical blasphemy.aka jews seething about christian themes being used in a film about them

Does anyone know where the hell I can watch the 1955 Swedish Hamlet tv movie? Alf Sjorberg directed it and the actors all come from the national theatre.
>>198594160Instead of committing suicide, why didn't Godard just start performing progressively riskier actions that would eventually lead to his death? He could've become a deep sea diver or gone to South America to fight cartels.

why do film snobs have the worst taste in movies? always just a bunch of boring pretentious garbage and proto-upskirt "cinema verite" bullshit
>>198605051Because film isn't high art, any attempt to make it into a study becomes patently ridiculous and a waste of time. Same with people who are experts/critics of pop music.
>>198604639I'm disappointed that we'll never get to see Godard perform a space jump.https://youtu.be/E9oKEJ1pXPw
>>198605100well said
>>198604639Only filmmaker I could see pulling something like that is Abel Ferrara
>>198593725He will never stop.
>>198605051Because they comprise of critics, and those who are generally boomers, arthoes, hipsters, and midwits from Karagarga that pretend that they like films. The latter group only subjects themselves to obscure and non-mainstream films, and brag about it all the time for the sake of increasing internet points.
>>198605051>boring pretentious garbage"Boring" is not an objective/factual property and "pretentious" does not mean what you think it does.You need to project your own standards (or lack thereof) onto others.
>>198606411>need to projectDON'T need to project
>>198606411i can call your boring slop boring all i want.
>>198606441Too late.
>>198606536You can call anything anything, but if you want to make meaningful statements, you should at least be aware of what the words you use mean.
Godard didn't kill himself.
>>198606688If Godard didn't kill himself, then WHOM did he kill?
>>198606627they can mean anything i want them to mean. it's my artistic license. you just don't get it.
>>198604596I WANT A REPLYDo I have to call up the national theatre of sweden and speak their elf language?
>>198606792>they can mean anything i want them to mean.That's not how language works. It's meant for communication. That purpose demands that you use words in the way they are generally understood by other people, or risk not being understood.>it's my artistic license.You're about as artistic as Christopher Nolan.
>>198606995yes but you see it wasn't about the words themselves, it was about the emotional response from you the viewer. that's what makes me calling your slop boring art and true kino
>>198606895I'm sure if someone here knew, he'd tell you, anon. If you didn't get a reply, that probably means nobody knows any more than you do.Also, national theaters don't keep films. But you could try your luck with a national archive for the preservation of media/cuture/art. Most countries have one. They don't necessarily hand out copies, though.

>>198607778>>198608300Me again. Found the DVD-quality version now as well. Enjoy:https://ok.ru/video/8195225618960
>>198607989Nosferatu is a meme flick because of muh vampires. Not even top 5 Murnau.
>>198608895>Not even top 5 Murnau.But surely top 5 Herzog, if only thanks to Kinski being the perfect fit for that role.
>>198608947>But surely top 5 HerzogWithin his narrative features, sure. If you also throw his documentaries into the mix, no way.
>>198607989The Big Parade. It’s on TCM on demand right now. Another recommendation I have is the Wind by Seastrom.
Where do I start with Herzog? What are his best films?
>>198607989Here is an interesting one. Last silent film officially released in the USA.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zk6M6x9FpnA&pp=ygULTGVnb25nIDE5MzU%3DIt was an independent studio that hired Balinese actors so of course, it had to be silent so the inter titles could be in English. Milestone’s restoration of this three strip technicolor love story is impressive.
>>198608999>Where do I start with Herzog?At the beginning.>What are his best films?Lessons of Darkness
>>198608999Werner Herzog Eats his Shoe (1980)
>>198607989I saw the Smiling Madame Beudet today. The camerawork is pretty at times but it is too focused on visuals and style over story. The main idea at the end is sorta hokey too. Like the uncaring husband suddenly begins to care because he thought she was going to kill herself. That’s a tacked on happy ending which didn’t sit well.

>>198609797I didn't say directors are Gods, but they can try to get close to the holy, the ineffable through their art. Bresson is the one who got closest in my opinion.
>>198609833>I didn't say directors are GodsYou're not very bright, are you? No one claimed you did.Now, again: Name one single god that is not all about stories (the bible/torah/quran, the edda, the vedic texts, the roman/greek mythological canon, etc.). The very idea that "the divine" is not pure plot/lorefaggotry is ridiculous.

Why don't they just make copies for a price? Quite a few classic performances have taken decades to be released simply because they only showed their footage at special events or for special persons. So greedy.
>>198610012Sure Fire
>>198609687Farthest?How about this perspective: language-as-the-narrative-structure is not an ascent from functions of flesh, but a descent from ontology-as-the-information-structure. In this view, units of language are gifts from angels, and units of stories are inverted echoes of the single story of God.Like this one? Or too limited to begin to grasp it? The fact that I as an atheist can play this speculative game of perspectives on the fly and you don't is an excellent testament to the catastrophic rigidity - and, more importantly, senility - of your single perspective. But we both know that the significance of the testament will be lost on you, which makes it even more amusing.

>>198610014/film/ anons are very helpful and friendly, actually. Elitist, sure. Intolerant towards bad taste, absolutely. But these threads are about sharing (a passion, an interest, and, yes, information).Don't compare us to the guys you might find in capeshit threads.>Why don't they just make copies for a price?Most of them probably do, the question is whether you're willing to pay them enough.I guess at some point they'll all digitize their stuff, and then requesting copies (of things that are in the public domain) might become trivial. But until then ...
>>198606895Apparently Swedes are fluent in English though
>>198610112Absolutely, I think it's straight up a masterpiece.It especially shines if you watch lesser known (in the west) soviet period German Sr. films and see the development of his style.Also, I think having at least some context about socio-political history of the Soviet Union definitely would help one "get" the film betterI've seen many call it this void of bleakness, and I can absolutely see why, but there's actually a lot of warm nostalgia in the film. This idiosyncratic style of his, with crowded rooms, people constantly talking over each other, this is not just a highlight of absurdity, this "crowdedness" was really a reality of life. A lot of people lived in communal apartments, many spend their childhoods in these little communities that formed in them, German uses crowded visuals as not just a representation of suffocating totalitarianism but also the childhood warmth of growing up with a lot of different people. People who lived in terrible conditions, under repressive regimes, often have fondness to some elements of them that for an outsider would seem horrifying. And that's what German acknowledges through his style, this Stockholm syndrome.

>>198612320No, The Thing was the film where the thing did that guy.
Imagine if it was set in North Korea.>a border guard appreciates the little things in his lifeEveryone would say it's propaganda. But when it's set a little bit to the south (or not, idk geography well), it's a life-affirming masterpiece about going to work until you get cancer and die.

What does /film/ think of Come and See?
>>198612366I really don't fathom why people were sad about Amy Winehouses deathShe was a drugged up celebrity that did nothing valuable and OD'd from her own hedonism
>>198612410I saw it, then I came.
>>198612410Meh, Klimov made better films.
>>198612426That's just how life is, everyone has their own perspective. I, for instance, have no clue why people like the dogshit Perfect Days movie. It's kitsch.
>>198612296Of course I got that, but I thought anon might have been serious for a moment. And nous and vous aren't Latin words, nor were the words that the other anon used.
>>198612492The ending and the "ima wa ima" scene were very kitsch indeed, but the rest of it was very comfy. I liked it because I felt relaxed at the kinoplex.
>>198612582>nor were the wordsNor were these the words*, nos and vos are Latin words.
>>198612582>nor were the words that the other anon used.http://www.latin-dictionary.net/search/latin/noshttp://www.latin-dictionary.net/search/latin/vosSo much for yu knowing Latin. These words are as basic as it gets.
>>198612697Calm down anon, see >>198612657. I doubt you know Latin thougu, for you at first thought this was a French word play, then implied 'nous' and 'vous' are Latin words.
>>198612746>for you at first thought this was a French word playNot the anon you were talking to.And "nos" and "vos" also are French words, just in the geneitive, not the nominative case:https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/french-english/noshttps://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/french-english/vos
>>198612826Fair point. I do not know French.
Jesus, most of you must be insufferable to be around in real life.
>>198612893People I hang around with tend to disagree.

Is Criterion /film/ approved?
>>198612934It depends.
>>198612893projecting much
I love this film so much and it saddens me both that it is unknown outside Hungary and that it isn’t available in better format. The dvd and especially the subs were poor at times.https://gabbahutt.blog.hu/2023/11/22/hyppolit_a_lakaj_2_589A great movie to compare it to is “Shop Around the Corner.” The humor and themes are straight Lubitsch-Esque as is especially the theme of love and of hidden identities. In Lubitsch’s masterpiece it is unexpectedly the two bickering coworkers who love each other secretly as pen pals unbeknownst to one another but in Szekely’s talkie era musical comedy it is the much hassled truck driver played by Istvan Benedek who is secretly an educated engineer on good terms with dukes and who attempts to woo the daughter of the newly rich business owner whose wife gives him a hard time based on false understanding of his social position and education. It is a clever comedy with themes that stand out even today how love can exist in places you don’t quite expect and how your views of someone may be shaped by false conceptions of them and of society’s expectations. I recommend to give Hyppolit a watch.
>>198612934modern Criterion tends to butcher all their restorations, so they are actually harmful to /film/
>>198607989my personal favorites >7th Heaven>The Big Parade>The Crowd>Dr. Mabuse, The Gambler >Foolish Wives>The General>Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages >J'Accuse>La Roue >The Last Laugh>Limite>Modern Times>Napoleon >Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans >The Thief of Bagdad
>>198613713These are all straight out of the 1001 movies main list. At least recommend something a bit more obscure than obvious stuff anyone can find with basic research. I recommended Legong which is extremely underrated.
>>198613803I'm not the anon you're replying to, but I want to say that people like you are the reason /film/ is dying.
>>198613803I said they are my favorites, not the most obscure. for some slightly more obscure ones I'd recommend>Hearts of the World>Joyless Street>Judith of Bethulia >Lucky Star>The White Hell of Pitz Palu
>NOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T LIKE POPULAR ARTHOUSE AND CLASSIC FILMS

>>198618813Why?
>>198612934Money and California are making them take the dumbest decisions.
>>198612934Older Criterion is good if you're a physical media collector. New Criterion is almost always garbage

This is unironically one of the best noirs I have ever seen.

>>198620404I watched the US version (at least I think so based on the 1:35h length).
>>198620285Sin City
>>198620212It's good but not that good.
