>>201551714wb /film/I'm watching L'eclisse from the that trilogy.Pic only a bit related, needs to rewatch that one soon
>>201551955Sauce on the pic?
>>201551999The Antonioni movie with Delon
>>201551999Mr. Klein, Kafkaesque kino
>>201552086I've already seen L'eclisse.>>201552100Thanks for the rec. Delon has been in so many kinos, I think I've seen more of his movies than any other actor.
>>201552203I'm on a marathon of his films again. Both the arthouse and genre movie types from him are pleasant to watch.I also found out the biography of this writer/director, absolutely insane: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_GiovanniHe wrote Le Trou, Le deuxième souffle directed by Melville and directed Delon in a few movies.
>>201552203Best Delon role is low key Baron de Charlus in Schlondroff’s wonderful filmed fairy tale because it most properly captures his histrionic and pompous persona with the only difference Delon being straight.
Saw Citizen Kane yesterday, it's terrific! 9/10, ahead of the game by a few decades desu
>>201552203I liked Farewell Friend with him and Charles Bronson. Also his mafia film Tony Arzenta.
>https://slow.pics/c/CgpELzLQThey botched it, didn't they?
>>201552596It's good, but it's no TOUCH OF EVIL (1958).
>>201552498That's certainly a highlight of his roles in the 80s/90s. He didn't appear in much "arty" movies in this period.
>>201552365>GiovanniKek, that was insane. I didn't think collaborationists were able to have their past forgotten. Very interesting. I'll check out his films.>>201552498I feel like I should read Proust before I watch it.
>>201552634>Farewell FriendI'll probably watch this one tonight. Thanks.
>>201552842I love it because I saw the film while reading the book and because the character is a histrionic, flamboyant douchebag. He IS Delon so to me the role fits. Jeremy Irons on the other hand isn’t Jewish enough for his role.
>>201552831So, are you actually called Gregory? I know ancient greek lol
>>201553245He directed Delon in 3 movies: Deux hommes dans la ville with Jean Gabin, Comme un boomerang and Le gitan. I like them, 70's crime movies with some depressing notes
>>201553323I should watch it next, thanks.Is it the only Proust adaptation on the screen?
Beyond kino.
>>201553564These all sound like kino, and are exactly why I love Delon's films. THANK YOU!If you're interested in something hilariously typical of the 60s, and at times visually quite good and also wacky, see Delon's The Girl on a Motorcycle.
>>201552634Tony Arzenta is decent but the ending makes him look retarded.
>>201553711Yes, shit indeed.
>>201553711Sounds great. This is what True Detective season 1 aspired to be>>201553729You're welcome. Girl on a Motorcycle seems to be wackier than I thought. The only English Delon movie I've seen is Once a Thief, I also liked it.
>>201553989I've hardly seen any 70's crime movies that has a favorable ending for the main character. Funny how 80's movies totally changed the tone. Hollywood led such trends and French/Italian cinema also followed them.
>>201553933It's the same theme as in a lot of those Italian movies. He's the last of the "honorable" mafia killers, and he pays the price for it
What should I watch after this? I thought it was a masterpiece. I have already seen Solaris and disliked it. I was thinking between Nostalghia or Mirror, but am open to others.
>>201555158You should watch Dead Man's Letters. As for Tarkovsky himself, it's best to watch him chronologically imo
I watched The Hunger. Is it /film/?
>>201555265gay perfume commercialthe wrong Scott died
>>201555265Offbeat independent movies count, I guess.>>201551714Is this thread related to the infinite chan /film/? I remember it was the only reason I browsed to that site, but then the board was dead and the users scattered away
>>201552831Nah CK is better.
Who’s the most intelligent (American) Hollywood director? Not necessarily as an artist. I mean intellectually. Kubrick?
I finally got around to watching Last Year at Marienbad. Having previously read some of Robbe-Grillet's work, I sort of knew what to expect, but it still blew me away because I didn't realize those moves were possible in the medium.What I love about Robbe-Grillet is how he treats the audience as his equal, as a counterparty that isn't just forced to accept what he puts down, but to engage with it and, with some effort, disprove it. In the film, I think of the guy introducing the Nim game as an author standin. As a viewer, we're invited to play an intellectual game with him, but as soon as we accept to play, it is understood that we have already lost. Similarly, once the female protagonist accepts the deluge of contextual information provided to her about last year, she has lost, because it allows for an assertion F(x). As long as x hasn't been defined, there is no harm in entertaining F(x), but as F grows larger and larger, it eventually becomes impossible to not get to x, which is the sexual act at the center of the film. That's a common Robbe-Grillet move (see also Le Voyeur) - he'll trap the audience by putting down walls where they are just about acceptable, and over time close down the space further and further. The only way out is going into a different dimension. In Marienbad, the female protagonist attempts to do just that by moving from the past (which ground she has already ceded) to the future. In the Nim game, that's the inversion from moving second to moving first. However, just like we're shown, you can lose with imperfect play even if you start the advantageous position.I dunno, probably this board is the wrong place to write about it. All I know is that I will watch my next films differently and with more of a view to the actual arguments they make, rather than purely aesthetically.
>>201556788Never thought about this, but I like Scorsese's knowledge of cinema. Kubrick is great technical-wise
>>201552596Oooh, you should see The Trial and The Immortal Story next!
>>201556991The unofficial trilogy of Kafka on the screen: Mr. Klein, The Trial and After Hours
>>201557138Wish we got an adaptation of Kafka on the Shore.
>>201557406I've never liked Murakami unfortunately
>>201556821Good reviews are always welcome. Do you have a letterboxd account or something? I like reading other people's interpretation of movies, unfortunately letterboxd's top reviews are ridden with retarded one liners or dumb woketards nitpicking on the irrelevant stuff
This was good but the ending was weakRecommend me similar kinos
>>201557517I can see that. Kafka and Wind Up Bird Chronicle have bad endings. But his short stories are much better than his novels. If you aren't totally turned off by him, I can recommend Scheherazade as his best work.
>>201557747Imdb user reviews?
>>201556991What is the definitive Welles film guys? I had only seen The Third Man when I was a kid and then I saw Kane yesterday and found out that he was actually that guy, I used to think that the movie for some reason would be overrated, but I don't see it that way now. Kane is not perfect, but it is a damn good film. Is there something like an european or asian Welles in your opinion?
>>201558568best Welles for me is Chimes at Midnight
>>201555859>Is this thread related to the infinite chan /film/?NO.
>>201555265yes, tony scott is /film/
>watch movie from the 1930s>everything looks great, except for the godawful green screen whenever they're driving a carWhy did boomers do this? Metropolis, a silent film with fucking robots in it, hold up 100% visually, but 1930s Hollywood couldn't figure out cars.
>>201552778I bet L'Immagine Ritrovata is involved.
>>201559993>green screenMy guy it's a projector. They couldn't film scene while being in traffic back in the black and white days since they weren't able to tell if the light was red of green.
>>201559993I feel the same way desu
>>201560882
>>201559993Cheaper and easier to record with a green screen, total control over the shot, etc.
Just ordered the Adventures of Captain Marvel from Kino Lorber. What am I in for?
>>201559993rear-projection is kino thoughbeit
Uhh... Guys? It it over for me?
>>201562448It's saying you have good taste.
Mektoub 2 ever coming? Any news?
>>201556788Schrader
>>201562686lmao
>some anons watching classics like Citizen Kane, Marienbad, L'Eclisse and Stalker for the first timeI'm kinda in the same boat because I just finished pic related and it was great
>>201556788Kubrick was always just a pleb with a curiosity for culture. Griffith was a real man of culture.
>>201562686>supposedly the leading bresson specialist>doesn't get color bressonSure.
I feel like this is the best scene I have ever seen in movies.https://youtu.be/cOZH57odl_k?si=7m7QssS8f7gDrxZM
Why are people impressed by Welles digging a hole for a shot (something already accomplished by Dreyer in Joan of Arc), but not Griffith riding a balloon in the early 1900s for the Babylon set
>>201563912It's okay.
Fuck why there are there so many fucking niggers walking around my apartment I am unsettled.
>>201564875I've never seen anyone be impressed by HOW Welles achieved his shots. But I've seen many people express how impressed they were with the scale of Intolerance.
Any /films/ that feel like this?
>>201551955>L'eclisseCould have used another 3 or 4 stock exchange scenes
>>201555158Mirror, then Nostalghia, then Sacrifice
HOW IS ANYONE SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE THIS HEAT?
>>201568176Just move out of whatever thirdie country you're in, bro.
>>201567913They were the best part of the movie. Very energetic and captivating, almost a poetic condemnation of the market, but it stops short of condemnation to retain its objectivity.
Good, I missed you guys
>>201568176not that hot nigga, its nice and breezy here in Cali Cali California.
>>201568051I have heard people say Sacrifice should be the last one you watch. Do you agree with that sentiment.
>>201555158https://youtu.be/Q3hBLv-HLEc?si=ld_bSqIPk8me82gV&t=1840I always liked that when driving behind the train, the car gets stuck in a weird position on the track for a few moments. I didn't think they were going to make it.
>>201570391Why do some versions have the piss filter at the beginning, while others just do B&W?
>>201551714>WTF was his problemHe didn't hook up with an 18 year old Italian actress in over half an hour and he was getting jittery
>>201570474I think the sepia filter was the intended one.
>tfw you want to buy stuff on the Kino Lorber sale, but not enough for free shipping
>>201571414>buywhy
>>201571430I like owning physical things so multinational corporations can't take it away from me.
>>201571414What were you thinking of getting? I'll buy them for you.
>>201571513Pirated files on a hard drive are just as physical as files on a disc.
>>201571528I was going to buy Nostalghia and the Adventures of Captain Marvel, but I am just going to add Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) to get the free shipping and call it a day. Thanks for asking though anon.
>>201551714Any Ozu fans here?I've only watched Late Spring. Should I jump to Tokyo Story or watch Early Summer first?
>>201571852>Any Ozu fans here?You're new here, huh.>Should I jump to Tokyo Story or watch Early Summer first?Doesn't matter, but might as well watch Early Summer because it came out first.
>>201571555I like the discs for the extras>>201571414Melville-Delon movie Un flic from Kino Lorber seems to have an interesting extra documentary
>>201556788Welles Hitchcock, as a non-American Hollywood director.
>>201572054what, do teevee hate ozu?
>>201571852Early Summer is his masterpiece. Tokyo Story is good but Early Summer has the most heart.
>>201432948Yeah, that sounds like shit. Easy skip for me. Thank you for the advice.
>>201572144Sir, this is /film/.

>>201573355Citizen Kane was the last movie I watched before deciding to change my life for the better. I was literally gonna an hero today, sisters. In a way, Kane gave me the strength I needed to make an effort. Thanks, Orson Welles
>>201574975you truly are a citizen kane
>>201574972Well, if "bookish.bailee" said it, then it's settled
>>201574975What is sad is you can find countless posts like this on reddit who mean it completely unironically.
>>201574975The church of Cinema saves yet another soul
>>201575059its common sense among serious readers but fwiw I own a ton of physical books
>>201575117>no, you can't be open and honest and have actual meaningful and useful experiences with cinema, you HAVE to be an above-it-all cynical cunt about everything
>>201570474>>201570536lmao, yet another case of Criterion destroying Tarkovsky's baller cinematographyDo you think someone there just hates him? They have something against Russia?
>>201575117It's semi ironic for me, I was really desperate and I actually watched Kane while feeling intensely suicidal after years of extreme pain, but I realized via other persons that I still can save myself, I just have to shed my pride. Which in itself is ironic because Kane is a movie about how a man's pride got the better of him and, ultimately, ended his life and happiness. I was going that way, but I had no choice and no money, so I guess I'll save myself. I can't an hero, don't have the guts to do it
>>201575253You can have positive emotional experiences with cinema, but if a piece of media 'saved your life' then I just don't know what to say to you.
>>201571430Im starting to just buy 4K releases of films that are my favorites/I know I'll watch repeatedly. Not worth keeping large 4K files on my harddrive when I could just have a disc sitting on a shelf instead. There are also usually sales, pre-order discounts, etc. It's not that bad and not too often.
>>201575324As always, you people place the blame in the wrong place. Criterion doesn't choose any of the piss filters.
I know I'm a retarded faggot for taking so long to see this, but finally watched it and goddamn what a great fucking film. The camerawork, specifically the lighting and use of fill/shadow in nearly every scene, is fucking jaw dropping. The scene where she runs next to the train is transcendent. I've already seen Yo Cuba and ofcourse that film is legendary, but Cranes tops it. I even have a bias against melodramatic war films and it overcame it. I'll be watching Letter Never Sent soon, but are any of his other films also worth watching? I'm assuming Red Tent is a massive piece of shit from the looks of it.
>>201570275well he died while making it, so sure
>>201574384Music is the lowest art.
>>201571852start with his sound B&W and work chronologically from there, then go back and watch all his early silents
>>201572111>I like the discs for the extrasYou can pirate those as well if you're on the right sites.
>>201575608Didn't like this one. The story was too silly and the camerawork was too wacky.
>>201575937lol
>>201575937Certainly the most limited one. So I might agree based on that.
>>201575937>>201576278Y'all need to listen to more music. Kino is my fave art form, but music is second, paitings are third for me. All art is based, really, altough I dislike seeing live theatre for some reason
>>201577422I've listened to plenty of music. I get the least out of it by far.
>>201577499You need more. Music starts at 5000 thousand albums listened
>>201577568>starts at 5000So does Cinema
>>201577568>>201577722What the fuck, I am mightily struggling to reach 1500. How the hell do you people find the time and stamina to watch (or listen) to so much stuff?
>>2015777225000 THOUSAND!
>>201577568Okay, what now?>>201577808It's more of a matter of age.
>>201577808>mightily struggling to reach 1500fucking pathetic
>>201575970I don't have enough space to store the full bluray, also downloading them just to rip the extras and then deleting takes too much effort and seems like a dick move.But I must admit I like the physical copies too, artwork, booklets and all that. Too bad blurays are so overpriced everywhere
>>201574384I think cinema is comparable to literature in terms of expression. It's just more difficult to make a great film, so we don't get to enjoy them as much
>>201577808I'm 31 and I've never had a job. :D
>>201581478Based.

>>201586598>extreme woke politicsWoke people absolutely hate him though, he was a liberal in the 1970s which is a literal fascist in the current climateNow go watch First Reformed, it's a movie about people who try to stop global warming by suicide bombing

>>201591584I saw Cure, which certainly had a Murakami vibe but I didn't really love the film as a whole and I've heard its his best film.I actually read South of the Border West of the Sun the other day. Personally, my least favorite of his so far since I find the magical realism and mystery stuff to be his main draw. However I told another anon earlier that I think his short stories are his best work, and the long form novels of his usually have underwhelming endings. I personally would love to see an adaptation of Kafka on the Shore that just focuses on the guy who talks to cats solving mysteries.

>>201591905thanks pal.I have a soft spot in my heart for adventure/travel epics. there aren't that many and I love how much time Out of Africa spends ruminating on romance in a foreign land. Redford is a stud as always, and Streep was great in it. I loved the slower pace and vast amounts of introspection set in such a stunning landscape. I don't understand why so many people consider it straight up "boring.">>201591959if you truly feel trapped in your God-given body and making that kind of change will give you happiness in this life, then go for it. but don't do it just because you think it'll be a quick fix to your boredom or unhappiness. it's got a bit too much of "fad pressure" for my liking

>>201591818Out of Africa is awful. how could this possibly be one of your favorite films unless those are the only four films you've seen?
>>201592345are you sure you didn't mean to reply to the Murakami posters.
>>201592335yeah, California, DC, Boston, Chicago are the other big markets (not necessarily in that order). it all depends on what you want to do. the only people I've heard of getting into "Big Law" through a tier 3 are people that went to tier 3s local to the NYC market>>201592361please see: >>201592013
>>201592361People have wildly different tastes, it's that simple. There are people who are fans of The Room or Plan 9 from Outer Space.
>>201587645I asked about this film some months ago. There's a restoration in the makings.
>>201592398I don't have big aspirations I just need something that will pay me enough for a decent girl to marry me.
>>201592582that's a great goal, anon. what is your target salary and what sort of work/life balance are you seeking? I'm sure you can make at least $50k/yr. in your first year, but don't forget about those beefy law school loans.
>>201592013>I have a soft spot in my heart for adventure/travel epicsthen watch actual good ones
>>201592684how bad are the loans for a tier 3? I don't mind 50k a year to start but I'm hoping to at least crack 100k at some point.
>>201592877I'm open to recommendations. Lawrence of Arabia is on the list, of course. I'm hoping that my first watch can be in 70mm in a theater
>>201592097was it a false rape charge?
>>201593094loans are all pretty shit but schools do offer scholarships; these are primarily based on your LSAT score (which is no longer mandatory as of 2025) and undergrad cv, though i'm sure other factors are considered. assuming you get no financial assistance, you can expect to owe more than $100k no matter where you go. i would be shocked if you're unable to crack $100k in your life, though that is quite modest for California, anon.if you're very serious about this, I recommend 7sage as an LSAT prep course. it is about $69/mo. but the curriculum is really great. I've also heard good things about Powerscore and LSAT Demon.
>>201593172no, but it was a violent felony charge and carried a mandatory minimum prison sentence of X years which the judge would have had no discretion to mitigate if I had been found guilty on that count.
>>201591344it was good but not that good
>/film/ posters are criminals nowThings are looking up
>>201593184Thank you for the advice anon. I eventually want to get out of California and maybe move to Minnesota or something, I honestly hate this state.
>>201593225damn. and a prison sentence also means that you couldn't get a good job in the futureshouldn't have stuck your dick in crazies
>>201593384ain't that the truth. unfortunately, sometimes we try to get too involved to help others and we also focus on our idealized version of the person rather than who they actually are, ignoring the screaming red flags. or so it was in my case. luckily, I received a favorable result but did not get out without any scratches.>>201593320plan carefully, anon. you'll never get the years back and starting over later is always harder.
Watching this later, what am I in for?
>>201593740All you need to watch are the last 5 minutes.
>>201593565Glad you were able to get out of it at least. At this stage I'm just looking for something realistic and stable for the long life ahead, no more romantic idealization shitAlso, I notice a female lead is always utilized in films that want to portray sensibility, vulnerability, alienation etc. Is there any film with men in such roles?
>>201593884thanks, anon.if you commit to law, I recommend doing your research on the best-paying specializations. here is a very good resource to start with: google picrel and download the pdfERISA is a particularly lucrative niche that also offers a great work-life balance
>>201593884Mysterious SkinAll About Lily Chou ChouA Brighter Summer DayThe Fire Within (highly recommend it, it is THE "sensibility, vulnerability, alienation" film with a male lead)
>>201594040Haven’t seen Fire Within but thanks for reminding me, it popped up on youtube recently. https://youtube.com/watch?v=1GA4uObfj94A Louis Malle blu-ray set got released here but went out of print quickly and I missed it.
>>201594040Thanks. I've seen Mysterious Skin. Looks like I should binge the whole filmography of Maurice Ronet, been wanting to do that
>>201593801Real
>>201592582If you can get a 161+ on the LSAT, you can get full tuition scholarships to decent schools. T14 is a meme route at this point. No reason to go unless you want to be a corporate slave for big bucks.
>>201551714I just watched This Gun For Hire.It was basically beta bux alpha fux the movie. Alpha hitman almost kills a woman and only stop because witnesses show up, but that doesn't matter because she later finds out the psycho likes cats and he can't be all bad. After listening to his sob story she convinces herself that she can fix him and gives a bug kiss on the cheek. (If it was made after 1942 and after the hayes code, you can bet we would get a graphic sex scene with a bbc and the fucked up thing is it wouldn't even be contrary to the original filmmakers' vision. I haven't the read the book so i don't know, but in the movie, the real irredeemables are an elderly rich man and a fat rich man and they get to die as villians because they give her the ick.The in movie justification is that they sold chemicals to the Japanese, but upon further inspection the director is named Greene. Wikipedia doesn't name him as Jewish but he's a passionate communist who worked with the communists in Cuba. I'm sure he had no problems with Julias and Ethyl Rosenberg giving Russia Nukes. So the whole movie falls flat for me. I only watched it because Columbo said it was a good Alan Ladd movie in the last episode I watched.
>>201594616>Columbo said it was a good Alan Ladd movieBased Columbo, as usual
>>201593740One of the best films ever made
can anyone explain to me why french new wave is so revered on this website. i've seen like 6-7 films and they're fine but i don't understand why everyone treats them like divine gifts from the heavens. my favorite so far has been le cercle rouge
>mutts talking about law schools for 50 poststruly the worst posters on /film/.>>201593740kino.
>>201595073>le cercle rougeNot even a FNW film you utter mongrel.
>>201595164why not
>>201595180Not made by a FNW director, retard.
>>201595111dumb nigger
>>201595180NTA, but it's a completely different genre / movement. Cercle rouge it's just Polar film, no characteristics of the french new wave filmmakers such as Godard, etc, just a french adaptation of US noir tropes.
CRIPES
>>201595238why do you have to be an fnw director to use fnw techniques. that's like saying sean baker can't be considered a part of the dogme95 movement even though he started off with low budget, amateur actors, natural lighting, minimal setup, etc.>>201595270how about the long takes and incongruous cutting?
>>201595180Don't listen to them. French New Wave is whatever you want it to be. French New Wave is an illusion.
>>201595297no certificate of authenticity no dogme95
>>201595297>How about the long takes and incongruous cutting?I think that's textbook Polar. FNW is more like formal experimentation with then novel editing techniques (jumpcuts, etc.), narrative structuring (prolepsis, analepsis, etc.) and general deconstruction of usual movie tropes. Polar is like a more artsy noir type film with some french-isms added imo.
>>201593740One of the worst films from the french new wave.
>>201595398kek can you imagine unironically stressing over this>>201595455thank you for the explanation. i will look into it moredo you think FNW is the best film style? for me, Kubrick >>>>>>>>>>> all. I also love Zulawski's camerawork
>>201595398We need a FNW edit of this with the names in the /film/ shitpost style like GODard and a slow cinema one where the background design has Tsai wearing a crown.
Yang > Tsai
>>201595495>Do you think FNW is the best film style?Not really, though what I've seen is all mostly decent. Godard made a few very good films. My favorite style / movement from what I've seen is Taiwanese New Wave. I feel that most of my favorite films came from there, specially from Edward Yang.>for me, Kubrick >all. I also love Zulawski's camerawork.I like Kubrick and Eyes Wide Shut is one of my favorite films, but I feel that he's slightly overrated as a whole. Some of his films like The Shining and Lolita I feel have some aspects which could have been better, and even in Full Metal Jacket I see a mix of good and bad things happening at once. I still don't think that he made a bad movie (from what I've seen), but Lolita got really close.I don't really like Zulawski's work at all, altough I've only seen 2 films by him. When I see his entire filmography I will formulate my criteria of him, but as of now, I can say that I hate his works, not gonna lie to you.
>>201595640A hundred percent.
>>201595695>Taiwanese New Wavebased. I also really like the current Chinese arthouse/poetic style. stuff like An Elephant Sitting Still, A Long Day's Journey Into Night -- it's marvelous. truly brings poetry back into film.which Zulawskis have you seen? the camerawork in moments of paranoia in Possession is exceptional.
>>201595758>A Long Day's Journey Into NightKINO IS ON ITS WAYhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt29002950/
>>201595758I have yet to see any of the chinese films which you mentioned. I have them on my HDD but I've been entertained watching italian and french films in the meantime.I've seen Possession and The Devil.
>>201595843Bi Gan is a titan.
>>201595899would you agree that Bi Gan and other Chinese filmmakers of that ilk are unironically the most SOVLFUL in today's world of cinema?
Recommend a kino which on YouTube, I can't torrent anymore as I think BT have capped my speed. I am going to purchase an assault rifle and lay waste to their offices on Thursday
>>201595927>Chinese>SOVLFULno, but they do make great films

>>201598253>What kind of films do you like?B-movies, horror films, exploitation, taiwanese new wave, some arthouse, gangster films, Hollywood slop, John Hugues comedies, some westerns.Favorite kino related people: Kubrick, Von Trier, Polanski, Marty, Tarantino (not necessarily for his films, but rather his persona and movie knowledge), Lynch, Antonioni, Fellini, Pasolini, Nic Cage, Keanu Reeves.
>>201598559from that list you'd probably like Pepe le Moko and Dangerous Encounters of the First Kind
>>201598559Saw The Long Goodbye yesterday, that Altman fella knew whats up

Someone make the new thread
Surprised to see the Antonioni support in this thread, /film/ usually shits on himThat being said, also been a shitload of absolutely braindead fucking retarded opinions in this thread, so I don’t know what to make of it
>>201600275Yes
>>201600266Don't worry, I'm making the new one.
>>201600275Who shits on Antonioni lmao? Dude has always been seen as one of the GOATs by the critics, and his movies are not even controversial in any way on film circles. He's one of my faves btw
>>201600511>>201600511>>201600511
>>201600483Retards on /film/ do. People will shit on everything and everybody here, it's like a special olympics sport
>>201575954Dont, I posted his gangster movie >>201584016 and it's not worthyhe directs it like a homowait a second...>>201589521He makes lots of travellings in Dragnet Girl, including very weird camera movements where he rotates around a teapot in an empty room then focus on a far away door, from where a character enters the room
>>201594616Youre mistaking the author of the book (Graham Greene, catholic and former british spy; although friend of Kim Philby, Greene never was accused of treason) with the director (Frank Tuttle, who used to be a communist until he ratted his friends to Macarthy)or maybe you're joking, and Im just being autistic
>>201597806Great taste. Here's a small variety of films that aren't in any of the /film/ charts and aren't more commonly known works by directors you're sure to be aware of.Maciste (1915)Dwelling in the Fuchun MountainsThe Adventure of Denchu-Kozo>>201597947based /film/ newfriend
