Triple H clears Tsai
i watched this and it was one of the dumbest endings of all time
Great casting. Will certainly see this one.
>>201650054For such a great premise it really is boring as fuck
>>201650054>>201650057Off-topic, you know what to do.
>>201649997nah. MM is a masterwork but H3x has too many stinkers. His early work feels too underwhelming Tsai has been consistent throughout.
>>201650133Off topic, you know what to do.
>>201650133watchap wit U nigga?
I'm starting to get mad at you people, please stop
>>201650054I read a lot of people praising this as some kind of haunting masterpiece, Kubrick calling it one of his favourite films etc. but it felt very flat and silly at times.
>>201650229Please take a deep breath, get up, go outside and touch grass. It's not that serious.
>>201650179Off topic, you know what to do.
>>201650260yeah it mustve played great in a theater because its boring as fuck otherwise
>>201649851Sometimes I feel like Ventura but in my heart I know I'm Guy From Ossos.
>>201650315OTYKWTD
Give me kino to watch while I wait for my sub city from the governer.
>>201650478In Vanda's Room
>>201650570Kino, not boring zzzzzzz shit
>>201650570yeah das nigga I said Ki - NO
>>201650478The Wild Goose Lake
>>201650570das rite nigga das rite hahaha yeah you know it shawty. sheeeeeeeesh. I said SHEEEEEEEESH nigga.
you all leave to go have sex or something?
>>201650478
>>201652413Huppert is the jury president. I can see her choosing something edgy
>>201652558Jury presidents are essentially figureheads
>>201650133>>201650179>>201650315>>201650439lmao, I love that some guy got triggered so hard by the off topic guy that he’s still pissing his pants crying over it. Now I’ll start posting it too if it makes this guy seethe so hard.
>>201652713>t. Off topic, you know what to do guy
>him
>>201652558Huppert will choose Wang Bing because she is very open about her yellow fever.
>>201652760>t. Off TopicYou know what to do.
>the villain, he's so powerful, how can we possibly defeat him?>just say his namehahaha
>>201652797When is the new Bi Gan film? Genuinely the only film I’m looking forward to
>>201652977I dunno, but I saw Youth Spring at a film festival in San Diego last year and it was the best thing on the program. I cannot wait to see the rest of the Youth series.
>>201628307It's just way to high for that piece of garbage!
Kino incoming?
>>201652807>>t. Off Topic>You know what to do.Guy.
>>201654766finally, something on topic
>>201650478Under the Big Top: Perplexed dir. Alexander Kluge
what did he mean by this?
>>201655106precursor shitpost
>>201649851Pedro costa me my fucking time lol
Why are Japan and China such kino factories while America and Britain suck shit after the 60s?
>>201656843western culture is simply inferior
>>201656843Not a big fan of any of those four personally.
>>201656057Pedro Costa is the epitome of that Orson Welles quote about movies aWhere “peasants are peeling potatoes for two hours.”
>>201657293Nah, that would be Bela Tarr.
>>201657329Both of them. I actually like Tarr a bit but his movies should be watched in conjunction with reading the Krasznahorkai books or otherwise you miss out on a ton of what it’s trying to say.
>>201657329Also iirc Welles originally said the quote about Ingmar Bergman.
>>201657329This movie felt like an elongated shitpost. At least the old guy punching the potato was mildly entertaining.
>>201652779No one said this.
>>201656057Best post in awhile
>>201657779Interesting, any decent translations available?
>>201658635George Szirtes is the only translator of Melancholy of Resistance, his magnum opus on which Wreckmeister is based.
>>201657877It was more of a karate chop, and I burst out laughing when that happened (also when they discover the dry well and the old man says something to the effect oh “oh fuck it!”)
Plotfags and actor worshippers; enemies of cinema.
:)
I want to say thank you to the fine chaps at the British board of film censors for consistently delivering kinos free of Marxist and sodomite influences. We sorely miss you.
>>201663516Kurtz and Winkel were gay lovers and lived together, didn't you notice? Some /film/ watcher.
>>201663627Indeed, ant they were very evil fags as they should be depicted.
Finally watched The Hole- while I think I like the other films I’ve seen from him more, this was still a very enjoyable watch. Lots of comedic moments I thought, very minimalist. Still wondering what I thought of the musical sequences. The ending could be considered a bit on-the-nose, but nice to finally see some of his characters making a genuine connection with one another (although it might not be what it seems, in which case another downer film from him lol)Continuing my chronological watch of Tsai, excited to get to his next set of films and watch some of his shorts too.
>>201663665ah ok
>>201650054Great film.
>>201663825Finally!

>>201656843You're talking as if Japan wasn't total dogshit post 80s.
>>201657779No, you won't.
>>201649911Imagine how goated Tsai would be if he was straight
>>201663673>excited to get to his next set of films and watch some of his shorts too.Gotta watch The Skywalk is Gone between WTIIT? and The Wayward Cloud in order to get the full trilogy experience.
>>201666401Those are some ugly chicks for being Japanese actresses.
>>201667004Just watch Help Me Eros directed by Lee Kang-sheng if you want to see a straight version of a Tsai film.
all movies casting Tsai have been deleted from my hard drive thanks to this thread
This feller's movies speak to me on a spiritual level. Nothing else I've seen even comes close. Where to go next for a Herzogfag who's seen all his stuff?
>>201667848Dreyer, Malick, Burden of Dreams, The Lost City of Z and Ad Astra, Touching the Void and Free SoloHave you actually seen all his films? Impressive if so
>>201668232Thank you anon! I have seen all his non-documentary stuff. But plan to watch the docs soon too.
>>201668318Ah, then you're in for many treats. A sizeable part of his cinema, and many times even better than his fiction. Let me rec you four of them that had me I liked a lot: The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner, My Best Fiend, Cave of Forgotten Dreams and The Fire Within
>>201668514>>201668318Lessons of Darkness is my personal favourite. Land of Silence and Darkness, Fata Morgana and Little Dieter Needs to Fly are great too aside from the popular ones like Grizzly Man and Encounters at the End of the World.Herzog is a kino machine
>>201668514>>201668914Thank you both for the recs. Fata Morgana sounds the most interesting to me so I'll probably start there.
>>201668914>>201668514appalling that neither of you mentioned Into the Abyss
>>201670572Into the Abyss is very overrated. it's fine, but nowhere near his best
>>201670572No one mentioned Bells From the Deep either yet
>>201650133It's one of my favorites from the 80s but the ending is kinda disapponting, yeah. I'm just obsessed with unexplained disappearances, even if you know it was a kidnapping>>201650133Isn't it literally on one of the charts?
>>201672949You are right. Non English language = arthouse cinema.
>>201673018What's classic cinema anyway, pre-70s?
>>201671544incorrect>>201672022extremely correct, apologies for the oversight
>>201666401when did this film get subs?
Rewatching Herzog’s Bruno S. films, they are so comfy. Since everyone is doing it, his best lesser known work is Where the Green Ants Dream.>>201657779This. Especially for Santantango, reading the book beforehand may as well be necessary.
>>201668318one of my favorites that no one has mentioned yet is Happy People: A Year in the Taiga
>>201673122Classics = films that get continuously rewatched and remembered by people at large or by cinema communities, no matter their age or origin.Not all classics are classics for all, i.e.: Meshes of the Afternoon is an experimental and feminist classic, Avengers: Endgame is a capeshit classic, Manos: The Hands of Fate is a MST3000 classic, The Devil in Miss Jones is a porn classic, etc.
what do I watch today?
>>201674594>Visitor Q Lmao watch this>Subida al CieloNice to see Mexican Bunuel on someone's watchlist, it's a charming film>Tale of TalesBeen a fan of Norstein since I was a kid, if you like him then it's a mustwatch>Les Dames Du Bois BoulogneIf you want to see a more 'traditional' Bresson film then you gotta watch this
>>201674594Perfect Blue. Essential.
>>201673341I'm not huge into Herzog, but I LOVED The Great ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner and Aguirre was really fucking good. I saw Grizzly Man and the one about the Vietnam veteran. Also seen some of his newer documentaries they're ok, but not really on the same level. Any recommends?
>>201674594my nigga sanshiro 2 is not as good as the first, yet retains the qualities of its predecessor. if you've ever seen a decent wuxia you would know that its teaching on kung fu focuses not on aggression but rather forgiveness, not on a lack of morals but rather on a strong ethical foundation. sanshiro's childlike character develops into a finer man after facing the challenges presented in the film, including american boxing.
>>201674594Immediately delete all Barney and watch Wavelength
>>201674594Goodbye CP. One of a kind, must watch documentary.

>>201677297Every human being has been taking a different path to it but looks like we've reached the final boss of cinema
>>201677499>clicking a variety dot com linkshiggydiggy
>>201677627Oh, yeah I forgot, the only reliable news sources for your kind are chud.com, trump.org and racist.ru
>>201677627I didn't click it, the URL was enough
>I'm a big boy, I didn't click le link!!! Clicking le link is bad because... IT JUST IS, OKAY!!!!!
>>201673341The only other masterpiece I haven’t seen mentioned is The White Diamond. His newer documentaries are all over the place but he seems to work well with volcanoes for some reason. Plus a mockumentary where he pretends to hunt the Lochness Monster if you want Herzog for Herzog sake.
>>201677990Why do you think I never click any of the links in the OP? There’s no fucking way I trust any of that shit, especially from the schizo nutjobs in these threads.Ive said it before and I’ll say it again- you click any of those links in the OP, you are almost certainly downloading mining and backdoor software onto your PC or cellphone
>>201678358Your understanding of cybersecurity is on the level of my 92-year-old grandfather.
>>201678443Wisdom comes with age. Enjoy your back door mining, zoomer
>>201678358Based. Links are right wing calling cards and behave a lot like traps on the internet which attempt t o sow discord and dissent in authortative institutions. That causes major issues in the way society functions.
>>201678358>he's this paranoid of goddamn mega, google, rentry, and textdoc linksLMAOHow are zoomers this computer illiterate?
>>201678539>exposes himself as computer illiterate>y-you're the zoomer!!Ironic.
And now they'll try to gaslight me, of course
>>201678565We need a return to the original OP posts that don’t have these dangerous, harmful links in them. It’s just a trap for newfags that everyone has been laughing at, but sorry to finally spoil the fun, enough is enough.

she was dressed as boy in order to fool her parents to send her to a boys school for education, as if to say, see you couldn't recognize me, how could they?
how could they have not known, she's so pretty. and why is it that the lgbtq+ movement claims that this film should serve as a guide for transgender freaks?
is Uwe Boll /film/?
Is there a chart for documentaries?
>>201679782There's a chart for you getting fucked
>>201679782No clue- I’m not clicking those links.
>>201679782not a /film/ chart, but I've got a couple /tv/ documentary charts if you want
>>201679757The last alive from the great school of kinomakers dating back to Griffith. Underrated.
>>201680355Sure, send away.
>>201680639alright 1/5
>>2016809112/5
>>201679757Yes, his recent cameo in Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World essentially proves it
>>2016809573/5
>>2016810114/5I wasn't sure if all these are documentaries, but I think they are
>>2016810545/5
>>201681054This seems more like the filmic genre called "city symphony", don't know if it's related to documentary.
>>201681250I know, which I'd classify as documentaries, but I guess others might not
>>201660111holy crap that's like so profound and wise
>>201681483Indeed. American cinema will never recover.

>>201682916Seethe
>>201683431/film/ was always shit, clearly
>>201676229I tried watching ''Cobra Verde'' the other day and it was so boring, also I dislike how he always puts weird cripples/disabled people in his movies to be ''le weird'', there's a scene where he just follows a rolling barrell for like a good minute, it was so pointless and silly
>>201684305Filtered by soul filmmaking
>>201683390LMAO
>>201684519SEETHE
>>201684305b word stopped reading right there opinion immediately discarded

>>201667848Korine
>>201679599I will always find it insane how popular The Love Eterne was in Asia. Ang Lee's parents left him and his siblings home alone when they were on tsunami watch so they could go see it, and it wasn't even their first watch.
>>201678358My bank account has been hacked multiple times because of the OP links in /film/ threads. I hope you guys enjoyed the $10,000 you stole from me.
I've just deleted my twitter and telegram account, what movie should I watch?
What are /film/ approved feminist kinos? Any charts?
>>201687478Death to all feminists. All feminist films should be burned
>>201687485I mean, Chantal Akerman's movies, Agnès Varda's movies and probably Greta Gerwig.(A lot of contemporary feminists look up Gerwig's movies and I do recommend 20th Century Women (2016) even if she didn't directed it)
>>201687478The Social NetworkUn Homme Qui DortDemolition ManLetter from an Unknown Woman
>>201687811>Demolition ManTruly based, but what does it have to do with anon's request?

Popping in for my yearly pre-TIFF check, anything from Cannes leak yet so I can save money? Nothing up on PTP that I see
My incredibly jewish government just restored the internet after 6 days. I watched these /films/ during that period.
>>201692554Nice diet of Cruisekino. And Trainspotting and Snatch are defining films of that timeframe, really enjoyed them back then.
>>201692554offtopic. you know what to do
>>201693086Suck me, faggot
>>201687478Congrats, I’ve had my Facebook deleted for years and never had an instagram. Twitter is my only vice and I wish I could rid myself of it too
>when he doesn't have Instagram
>>201649851Stalker feels like a pro-Christian work. Do any of his other movies have a similar message.
>>201694399Is this a joke? Tarkovsky made multiple outright religious films. The Vatican even lists Andrei Rublev as a recommended film to watch.
>>201694399Andrei Rublev and The Sacrifice are explicitly Christian. Tarkovsky was a Christian but Stalker was more about the idea of greater purpose to the universe as opposed to Christianity.Watch this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nk9LzNhQEOY
>>201694040my only "social media" is here and I'm married
>>201694977IDK man, I think Stalker is a very religious movie.
>>201694040What about if I'm gay
>>201694979Make a snapchat account and maybe your wife will start putting out some more.
>>201694977Thanks for the video though. That was pretty good.

>>201695079How does that work?
>>201694977>as opposed to Christianity.What opposition?
>>201698163il sorpasso
This a good movie? I saw Farewell, Friend (1968), by the same director, the other day because of a rec here and it was fantastic.
>>201698936Just watch everything Delon, man. The dude never made a "bad" bad film.
Pic rel is the first time I felt filtered by an Antonioni ending. What does it mean? What does the movie mean btw?
>>201699828I think he may actually be the only actor I do that with.
>>201699870They don't love each other. It's all just heartless motion. In the economy, in relationships. That's why neither one turned up when they promised they would, because both knew the reality of the situation.
>>201699989How did you come to that conclussion? It seems logical... sometimes I feel that the hidden meanings of things fly over my head. Films for this feel?
>>201687700>probably Greta GerwigProbably not, fuck off
>>201700078Whatever you do, don’t watch A Long Days Journey into Night
>>201700078>How did you come to that conclussion?I had to think about it too. But I followed on from what happened earlier in the film, you know, the nihilism of the market, its utter pointlessness. And there were little hints about their relationship, how she doesn't love him that much, how they suddenly fall silent sometimes, etc.If you want to get better at understanding movies then you should read more classic literature. You wont be a truly intelligent or perceptive individual until you educate yourself, and all good directors did the same.
>>201700393Why? It's on my watching list, but today I will watch Il deserto rosso to continue on my Antonioni journey.
>>201700505>If you want to get better at understanding movies then you should read more classic literatureCareful, telling that to /film/ posters sends them into a crying pathetic fit. The only thing that makes them more angry is telling them to watch more films.
>>201700579I have never understood a film less than Long Day's Journey Into Night. Legitimately felt like I had a 20 IQ for 138 minutes but it was incredible and I'm going to watch it a few more times and once I think with no subtitles and the sound off.It filtered me so hard it's frightening. I watched a YouTube analysis and there was so much I missed that at one point I considered I had somehow seen a different film. Incredible feeling.
>>201650054Why? You were expecting a happy ending?
>>201700579NTA but Il deserto rosso is a great movie for its visuals and atmosphere, but don't expect much from the story, even by Antonioni's standards it's very uneventful and meandering. Just take in the stunning coloured industrialism, and Richard Harris is a delightful addition as well. I really can't think of any other movie like it, visually speaking.
>>201700505>If you want to get better at understanding movies then you should read more classic literature.I actually have a degree in literature, currently working on my masters. My teachers always said that my interpretations of clasic books were novel and highly interesting, but I always felt like my peers were more capable than me of discovering the "obvious" meanings in the novels we read, which was paradoxical to me. I'd say it's autism, because when I was younger I didn't understand when girls were flirting with me, etc.>And there were little hints about their relationship, how she doesn't love him that much, how they suddenly fall silent sometimes.What I understood by the relationship of Piero and Vitoria is that it was a classic case of "I need this person, but I don't know why", some kind of a complex and hidden need being fulfilled by the other person, but at the same time a feeling of disconnection due to the enigma of the relationship that is unable to "make logical sense" to those involved. I kinda took it that way because I've been in that same situation many times, maybe I'm biased.
>>201700614Kek, but it's true. You can't become educated or cultured from movies. It's the reason why movies are adapted from books and never the other way around. Love and enjoy movies, by all means, but as Kurosawa said, you need something 'inside' you, a knowledge source to drawn from, for you to create films, and you get that from reading.
>>201700655>There was so much I missed that at one point I considered I had somehow seen a different film. Incredible feeling.Completely get this feel, ironically happened to me with Poor Things.
>>201700744You do have very novel interpretations that flit right past the more obvious ones, as you're displaying in what you have to say about L'eclisse. That's not a bad thing, it deepens your appreciation of the work and its emotional perplexities, and if you have to work harder to get to the 'basic info' which everyone else sees first then you will probably appreciate that better. Sometimes, to use a comparative example, great artists were quite bad at their art when they first started and their need for extra effort gave them a far greater understanding of their artform. Effort, a burning desire to understand, a continual dissatisfaction with what you presently know, ranks you leagues above most people's simpleminded appreciation of art who are content with their mediocrity.
>>201700691Antonioni is always interesting to me because I think I "get" him without necessarily having to understand him intelectually, same thing happens to me with Fellini. I just feel like I see things in a similar way to them, and I know that's a very pretentious thought to have, but I can't help it. The uneventfulness and "wandering" feeling that their films have just remind me of myself trying to observe the world and at the same time be a part of it, be very active in it. It's a very strange feeling to have, but when I watched Blowup for the first time I just knew that the ending shot was about the solitude of a man that just "knows" something about the world but can't share it with no one, or at least that's what I felt. It became my favorite movie for a few years.
>>201700897Thank you. I guess I'll have to read more and more about kino, and observe life even more, in a more perceptive way, if I want to get better at understanding life and art, I suppose.
>>201700979Very based. I remember feeling like this as a child. It's the type of intense perplexity that Joyce throws you into with Finnegans Wake, but in another way, it all makes sense. It's a cliche to say 'like in a dream', but it really is like a dream experience.

film is a dead medium
le film is le medium ala dead
>>201699870Best film ever made, not even kidding.
>>201699870“These two people met and their love was fragmented by the nature of the capitalist society they live in and whether this became a loving relationship or one night stand is irrelevant because in the society they live in they are simply unable to truly love one another either way”That is what it meant
>>201704312Why? Legitimately interested.>>201704423I can see the capitalist angle that you proposed, but was Antonioni really critical of capitalism? I'd think so based on the movie, but I don't know the author's stance on said theme. Why is capitalism an obstacle to love? Too much noise and business impeding the practice of caring for another human being?
>>201704566The entire movie is critical of capitalism and life under it. Hence the stock exchange scenes and the dejected looking Monica Vitti just sitting there depressed half the movie hammering it in. Watch the criterion approved commentary soundtrack.
>>201700655Kek
>>201704566Because I like it the most.

>>201700826>ironically happened to me with Poor ThingsIt's about a whore with the mind of a child getting passed around and then spouting some random philosophical lines to make you believe there was some kind of growth on her part and give the pseuds that artsy feel they need to justify themselves, there's not much else to understand.
>>201711169See, you seethe at the film, so this /pol/ reading is obvious from your side. But for anyone wanting serious thought, this simplistic hateful discourse has no use.
Italy has fallen. Sad!

>>201687264i rewatched lee's crouching tiger shortly after finishing legendary weapons of china 1982 yesterday. the way i see it is if people refuse to take something that has been determined as safe and effective by scientific consensus then they are no better than monsters. but really, nothing PAWG is coming to mind. movies that have just released in the past decade have lots of them with BBC actors beside.
>>201699828What about this stinker? I haven't seen it, it has the lowest ratings on every site and Lauren Bacall's in it.
What movie should I watch for Thicc Girl Thursday?

Are there any actually funny comedy kino that had come out in the last decade? Need distractions would like to laugh because I’m sad
>>201713016what do you mean by last decade, is it the previous decade or the one before that?
>>201713016I'm a big fan of Dupiex, my favorite being Mandibules. For me it's a wholesome riot.
>>201712815literally the greatest film of the 21st century
>>201713016the cure for sadness is not laughter but rather small acts of kindness and forgiveness
>>201712815
>>201713389Wise but nearly outdated. As we approach the singularity, small acts of kindness and forgiveness are soon to be the stuff of the Stone Age.
Film isn't even real. It just wasn't possible before the late 90's. It can be replicated today with digital cameras. But if anybody claims they know how you could take a bunch of flimsy, flammable chemical tape to make film they're a shill. Think about the technology of the time, how did they make the shutter line up with the timing of the reel, it would have to be perfect or it wouldn't work. which just isn't possible with previous technology. Furthermore there's too much ambient light and radiation all around, film would be ruined in minutes. Plus how difficult it would be to cut and edit reels of imaginary camera tape by hand without adobe after effects is unbelievable. More and more people are realizing that "film" isn't real and never was.
>>201713573>how did they make the shutter line up with the timing of the reel,By linking the shutter with the mechanism that moves the film through the camera. How fucking stupid are you?

>>201656843In the UK they stopped funding the arts so everything has to appeal to the dumbest people in the country in order to generate profit.Compare Play for Today to Gogglebox for instance and you'll see what neoliberal economics does to cultural output.
>>201698936This was released in theater by Warner Bros., I don't know why it's never been on DVD. So buried
>>201714655Britain has an unhealthy society today, they wouldn't be able to produce beautiful cinema even if they had all the funding in the world. >>201660111
>>201712619>>201712534Kek, just looked up the director. No wonder
>>201714810Bollocks, you don't need a healthy society- however you want to define it- to produce great films
>>201715048Wrong.
>>201715048You think you are smarter than God?
>>201714499it's serviceablehow else do you expect to shoot a night chase across a plain?
>>201715223Just use a Wendy-light from a quarter of a mile away or so to simulate strong moonlight. You know, the other extremely common technique besides day for night.

>>201716387Very sincerely, from the depths of my heart, go fuck yourself
>>201713359Lmao.
>>201716242Yes, just like any Rivette.
>>201717313lmao
>>201715386I keep seeing this OnDemand, and do want to watch it, but feel torn that I should try finding a theater that's gonna show it during one of their classic nights insteadSeems like the cinematography is too top tier to watch for the first time on some 50 inch flatscreen.
>>201717715Don't know where you are but that might be a while. Just get the 97GB BluRay remux or the 105GB Web-DL and enjoy it.
local indie cinema is finally screening about dry grasses from tomorrowis it worth the 197 minutes?
>>201715386what's the deal with LoA getting all the praise?is the acting that good or is it just visuals(I've read 7 pillars of wisdom already)
>>201719013It is if you're a fan of Ceylan or at least got something from his other films, otherwise strong chances of mehness.
>>201714309Why jump off the horse? Why not just trample the guy?
How good is Alain Delon's acting skill? He didn't seem to get many good roles when he got older and less good looking
>>201720927He's the Brad Pitt ancestor so dull and mostly terrible, but he's so good-looking women and gays just ignore it and recommend all his movies regardless.
>>201720927He never was anything more than passable. His face- and later, aged, the still lasting name power- gave him everything: a career, money and pussy.
>>201720927Limited but good, anybody who says he is not good is retarded.
>>201721931>t. gay or woman
>>201719013No
>>201708709Based. CY is aamzing.
>>201716242Worth it for the titties alone. Ending is absolutely fucking horrible though.
any good?
>>201723595>Ending is absolutely fucking horrible though.Absolutely filtered
>>201721931I agree. He was a competent actor. Mr. Klein is a pretty good performance. He's obviously not on the level of a Brando or even a DiCaprio, but he was useful and iconic to the films he appeared in. 7.5/10 taking into account technical skill and charisma, plus his body of work.
>>201724022DiCaprio is ass and always overacts.
>>201700655>I have never understood a film less than Long Day's Journey Into Nightfor me it was sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club bandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm0Wx4ZX8aw
>>201724022Don't know about that, I don't think DiCaprio has performances as powerful as Delon in Rocco and His Brothers, Indian Summer, L'Eclisse or Mr. Klein. Sure, Delon is mostly kind of in a very narrow lane and register while DiCaprio tries more stuff but I don't think he's that successful.
>>201719083It's overall kino
>>201719083the story pretends to be historical when in the real it is none other than a whitewash of the british empire's goal to control the region through covert regime change tactics. lawrence is a scampy change agent towards imperial means.
If you have to ask someone if YOU should watch something, I don't think cinema or art in general is for you.
>>201724869does your watch collect data and if so where does that data get stored?
>>201724869I can see your soïbeard in the reflection zucchinifag, don't forget to clean the anal faggot juice before you cook them.
>>201724869Art isn't, but this general is exactly what people who always need to ask some daddy for confirmation deserve
>>201724869Fucking based, best post in a long time
HelloI had this movie on my backlog but I always kind of put it off due to its length but man, what a movie. Its cliché to say but the 4 hours flew by
>>201724043>>201724247Leo was good since he was young; he hard carries The Basketball Diaries, which was a terrible movie. In recent times, he has made great roles in films such as The Departed (a personal fave and much better than Infernal Affairs) and Killers of the Flower Moon. He isn't really an actor which I'd see as hammy, just passionate and commited to the role, kind of like Christian Bale but better.
>>201727871Hello bro.It's one of the best movies of all time, and the best Yang / asian cinema I've watched alongside Yi Yi and Chou Chou. What did you guys think about Lily Chou Chou? Deserves the hype? I feel it's beautiful.
Grateful to have watched this film. Very intense for Antonioni's standards, and Vitti's performance is a highlight. I really connected with the movie on an emotional level.
>>201727910Someone like him gets hated for free for many reasons, but he's one the best of his generation. For me his peak was on Wolf.
>>201728043>I really connected with the movie on an emotional level.How so, if you don't mind expanding? No other Antonioni film left me as cold as Il Deserto Rosso. I'd place it at the bottom of his films I've watched actually.
>>201727871>>201728043Off-topic, you know what to do.
Fake off topic schizo is completely mind broken
Where are the comedies?
>>201720047Why trample the guy when you can beat him to death with your own hands
>>201729048>him
>>201728288I agree. Wolf is not my favorite by him, but it's just the usual Leo baller performance.>>201728402>How so, if you don't mind expanding?My mom was a hypochondriac when I was a kid. Vitti's performance is 100% realistic when compared with the hell that my mom went through and that I witnessed. Add to that the fact that I've been a depressive all of my life and a lot of Giuliana's dialogue in the movie made me feel compassion for her.Off-topic, but the aesthetics in this film are also top notch and very distinct from the usual Antonioni. I've always liked industrial imagery, so I guess I inmediately understood Antonioni's intention of showing the beauty of industrial landscape. I enjoyed that he wasn't afraid to show the richness of modern landscapes; I feel like the idea that nature is the "true" beauty is an outdated idea that could be enriched with perspectives such as those shown by Antonioni on the film, something for which I feel he was kind of ahead of the game in a way.

>>201729254The stunt of jumping off the still running horse looked cool I guessI’d honestly love trampling someone while riding a horse though
>>201729582The kid of bottom image changes horses while running; it is a pretty cool stunt too
>>201729579I'm on a diet
>>201727971/film/ talks shit about Iwai whenever he's mentioned, though I suspect that's the work of a single anon. I also suspect it's the same anon who hates Terayama.
