>>204109088I laughed at your post though, I ain’t even mad.
>>204109219This man's got taste.
>>204109048Rice falseflagging aside, is it actually a good film?
>>204109219based
>>204109274of course not. Vera Farmiga is a terrible actress and has never been in a film that is on topic for these threads
>>204109219Great choice.
>>204109274rice falseflagging aside,yes, it is an english language american film, but the production is korean, so it feels like a mix of erotica and kdrama. As a result the story and creative decisions and presentation feel un-american and more asian which makes the combination with western settings and characters an interesting mix.
>>204109421lmao, the seething
The Baroness of /film/
>>204109421Rude and objectively untrue. I might just have to watch shit this now because your post
>>204109493please tell me what films from her filmography qualify as either arthouse or classic films? I'm not even the anon who you've been arguing with in the last threads, but posting about Vera Farmiga is off-topic. at least the other waifu posters chose waifus who have starred in what could be considered /film/
>>204109510you genuinely should check it out. Even if the original recommendation came from a place of trolling, I whole heartedly think it's good.
>>204109562nigga I already explained right here >>204109467how the film the actress in question is, is arthouse.
>>204109562Not him, but from looking at her wiki she definitely has worked in arthouse films. Plus, The Departed and The Conjuring.
>>204108888the train sequence in Yearning
>>204109618kdramas are not arthouse. which means I should be mad at this faggot too >>204109005. both of you fuck off
>it's only arthouse if I like itlol
>>204109647you absolute imbecile do you only know how to read single words? It's the mix of asian aesthetics into an otherwise western film that most audiences would consider arthouse.
It's all garbage because modern cinema sucks but I'd take any of the non-arthouse films from the last 30 years than farthouse 'on topic' meme trash like Tsai any day. Fuck Cannesshit and fuck you
>>204109702you got btfo'd and now are too disgraced to (you) me back. get fucked nigga.
>>204109642list them then, because none of these look on topic for this thread. the only one that would be is the Jonas Mekas film and she's only in that because it's a behind the scenes for The Departed
>>204109716Nah it's my first post in the thread
I honestly don't give a shit anymore. You all deserve it
>>204109722no one is talking about these films but (you) the one film that is being discussed 'Never Forever' is the arthouse one.
>>204109750>it's arthouse because it contains an AMWF romanceyou ricels are pathetic
>>204109791
Why is all this preoccupation with "on topic" reserved for womenposting and not to all the shitposting that happens here?
>Vera Farmiga ricel is also the Melody Marks/Popcorn in Bed posternot sure why I'm surprised
>>204109889shitposters get called out all the time, and tend to just keep their shitposts to one thread. the only reason I'm annoyed with the waituspammers is because they've shit up the last handful of threads and don't seem like they will stop anytime soon
/tv/ is making fun of us again, bros...
The Departed? A crime classicUp in the Air? A dramedy classicOrphan? A cult classicThe Conjuring? A horror classicNo need to thank me, Farmiga posters. Fair's fair.
>>204109962It's not hard to laugh at /film/ from the outside. Generals are the worst part of any board

>>204110340On that note, was it ever revealed how Akerman killed herself?
>>204110385*Some of his best
>>204110504Other than Casino i don't see how anything after Goodfellows are some of his best.
>>204110340How did Godard die? I can't find anything in the articles? Did he use nitrogen?
>>204110574>Goodfellows
>>204110647Died from old man.
>>204110653I'm a formal man.
>>204110659Huh?
>>204110574I wouldn't put Casino as one of his best.Best after Goodfellas: The Age of Innocence, Kundun, The Departed, The Wolf of Wall Street, SilenceWorst: Cape Fear, The Aviator, Hugo
>>204110647One of those capsules that put you to sleep forever with no pain
>>204110374If you liked it, check out The Sniper 1952, it was influnced by Losey's M and is arguably even better. Also just as the Losey's film it's Dmytryk's own allegory for blacklist (or for having to tell on his colleagues in order to escape it)
>>204110574CasinoBringing Out the DeadThe DepartedSilenceAll are some of his best pictures.
>>204110035As the OG Farmigabro, this is easily the most based post ITT. Thanks anon.
>>204110810Silence is good but I can't hold it that high when the vastly superior Shinoda version exists.
>>204110775>>204110808Based Donna Kendrigan appreciator.
>>204111150What is the Shinoda version? I didn't even know that Silence wasn't a Scorsese "original", to put it that way
>>204111203:)It's insane, she doesn't exist in either imdb or letterboxd
Silence (1971) directed by Masahiro ShinodaBoth films are adapted from the same novel.The main flaw with Shinoda's version is that father Ferreira is played by a Japanese guy in whiteface (making his scene very silly), but otherwise it's an excellent film.
>>204110770Thanks anon, haven't seen that one.>>204110810I need to watch Bringing Up the Dead.
>>204111479Meant for >>204111377
>>204111479Beautiful. Ethereal even.
>>204111479>>204111584Women in the 1910s had such beautiful long hair, and then the 1920s came and gross flappers with their short hair.
>>204109421Based.
>>204109642>Plus, The Departed and The Conjuring.Lmao
>>204111721Classics, yes.
>retards spamming women here although the can do that all over the /tv/Baffling really. Why don't you do this spamming garbage in any other thread you impotent simps?
Warning: sperg #039 has entered the chat
>>204111815its just the anger management schizo
>>204111482Best Cage performance by a long shot. He really makes that film special.>>204111479I'll check it out
>>204111815hi
>>204111864>>204111482Sizemore's character is great too
Both adaptations of Silence are great, but I may prefer Shinoda's version for keeping the more vague ending of the book. Hopefully Scorsese actually gets around to filming his planned A Life of Jesus adaptation. It's another novel by the same author, Shūsaku Endō.
>>204111635>short hair>grossYou should kys, NOW
is it kino?
>>204112048no
>>204112048Not really. Felt like something that you'd see on the wall of an art gallery. Something you'd stare at for 5 minutes and then you'd move on.
>>204112107disappointing. I'll probably still check it out though since it's pretty short. have you seen the director's other film?
>>204109024irreversible
>>204112212No, I wasn't interested after Finisterrae.
cinematic genius or train autist?

>>204111799cry more
I don't have a lot of time today. what should I watch?
>>204112696It's October, watch some horror movies you joyless fuck
>>204112532/wacky/
>>204112641Dull political advocate.
>>204112696A Tsaifag favorite
>>204112696The Red Balloon
>>204112641Dull dork.
>>204112740some of those are horror, but you've got a point. I limited it to just horror films now. which one should I watch?
>>204108648What is that even about? Some gay philosopher who likes to torment patients in a hospital before they die? I don't speak baguette.
>>204112696Watch Chronos, easy kino. Crimes of the Future was disappointing, I wouldn't bother unless you are really into the director
>>204112796You're damn right.
>>204112772>political advocateHow so? All his shorts I've seen were pretty apolitical.
Mystery Train (1989)I really liked the first story with the Japanese couple. The middle story with the two girls sucked and felt completely pointless. The last story was okay, it was great to see Joe Strummer and Steve Buscemi acting together, but it was also kind of generic and not as engaging as the beginning of the film. If Jim Jarm had made the Jap couple the main focus of the entire story it would have been so much better. However, Memphis looks damn good in this film, and Screaming Jay Hawkins kills it as the hotel clerk.6.5/10
>>204112861kek.
>>204112667>>204112772>>204112806Watch them again.
>>204112696Rapsodia Satanica is nice
>>204112808Perfect Blue and The Addiction are the best there.
>>204112983The Addiction is barely a horror movie. Good shit though.
>>204112911>don't you find them beautiful?>noDamn, straight to the face, I can feel Nat seething
>>204112888I'll watch it due to you. Caught it on TV many years ago, thought it was Chungking Express. Still haven't seen it, or Chungking for that matter.
>>204112696Watched>Simon of the DesertUsual Bunuel anti-Christian shenanigans, if you like him then give it a watch>The Men Who Treat on The Tiger's TailMinor Kurosawa but much like all of his films it's worth a watch, especially if you like jidaigeki>Straight ShootingFord's debut feature, entertaining silent western with legendary Harry Carey, only an hour long so if you enjoy the charm of early westerns then watch it>Proces de Jeanne D'ArcWell it's Bresson, you can't skip it>Stereo and Crims of the FutureVery weird early Cronenberg that I didn't like at all, can't recommend but if you absolutely have to see everything Cronenberg then go for it
>>204113017It's a vampire movie, therefore horror, it just isn't "scary" in the traditional sense, though I do find it scary in the sense that it shows the decay that an addict goes through.
>>204112880Not his films themselves, but don't make the mistake of going to listen to the man's babbling as I did in New York.
>>204113017Good or shit, what is it?
>>204113071I remember loving the one part where the lead turns the girl and does the abusive addict partner thing where she says "you made me do this to you"
>>204112861I look like this and do this
>>204113107It's "good shit though".
>>204111969I love short hair! I meant the flappers were gross and their style of short hair was lame.
>>204113135There's so much iconic scenes in the movie, and NYC looks so gritty and dark. It's one of my favorite movies. Kinda weird that people don't get that, at its core, it's a christian film lol
>>204112048Spaniards can't do anything that's not playing an acoustic guitar.
>>204113205is it one ofthose cultures of ass fucking?
>>204113181I'm like this, but with King of New York because it's so over the top
>>204112808Bay of Blood is a landmark horror film. Vity and Blair Watch are /hor/ classics too but I don't like em
>>204113088Quick rundown?
>>204112696Bresson Joan of Arc.>>204112808Visitor Q.
>>204113306>Vity and Blair WatchViy and Blair Witch I meant, haven't slept today
>>204113263That one is amazing too. Laurence Fishburne's acting is top notch in that one. And the ending is kind of a tearjerker.
>>204113205>Acoustic guitarClassical guitar* Learn the difference: acoustic uses metal strings, classical uses nylon strings.
Ferrara did no wrong in the 1990s. Amazing run.
>>204109702Good, leave
>>204113405Acoustic means non-electric.
>>204113205If Almodovar and de la Iglesia are any indication, they are pretty good at doing drugs
>>204113407He got way better in the 90s compared to the 80s. He had some good shit like Ms. 45, -then at the same time-, he released dogshit like China Girl lol. The 90s is when I think he found his true voice and expanded upon the themes he had been exploring in the 80s.
>>204113539True, but spaniards are usually emblematic of flamenco, therefore, classical nylon string guitars.
>>204113592How can you not love China Girl you heartless bastard.
>>204113563
>>204113319Nothing particularly interesting or funny. He just spent like 20 minutes of his time going on about how awful the Supreme Court, Trump, etc. are. To be fair, the interviewer's questions are what made him go there. I don't give a shit if someone dunks on Zion Don, but that's not what I came to listen to.
>>204113623I know, i didn't imply steel strings at any moment.
>>204113461Based
>>204113668It's usually understood that acoustic means metal strings while classical means nylon strings.
>>204113624Sucks. His worst movie.
>>204113592You should listen to anything he does commentary tracks on, he's hilarious like friedkin
>>204113767NTA but I didn't understand it that way.
>>204114070Didn't understand what? It's just guitarist lingo.
>>204108970Who
>>204114225Barbra Streisand
is this really the best 2023 had to offer?
>>204115327Too much dogshit on that list.
>>204115327Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon weren't bad at all, but I think that in time we'll see what were the best films of 2023. Probably not even contained on your list. It's just too soon.
>>204115327If it’s all shit can you really say any of it can be “best”? This piece of shit is more delicious than the other?
>>204115327I barely watch new stuff, my friend watched Anatomy of a Fall, I asked him what it was about and he told me>well it's that type of a movie, you know, like the ones you enjoyI got what he meant by that but was really surprised because I almost never talk about cinema with anyone, 'hide my power level' so to speak
>>204115327Some very good films, others just decent. But it gives some overview of the year, yes.
>>204115509https://www.imdb.com/list/ls074264003/
>>204115652What does a short list of genius works from a GOD have to do with a pile of shit from 2023?
>>204115327No, the best 2023 kino was Fallen Leaves.
You inside or outside?
>>204116213wtf is that?What the N stand for?
you niggas wouldn't have even heard of the best films of last year. stop trying to speak on a subject you know nothing about
>>204116333Narrative core (storytelling, the heart of cinema)
>>204116333I would say it but jannies now consider it a bannable offense.
>>204115327no
>>204116213I don't get it, what's the Tarkovsky ring?
>>204116205lmao
>>204116478Films outside of the ring are non-commercial. Made for institutions, galleries, and for sheer experimentation's sake, not mainly for paying audiences.
>>204116422based rare anon with actual taste
>>204113767In the US maybe.
Who the fuck is Gregg Araki? His name, the way he looks and the posters to his films are hilarious
>>204116333>What the N stand for?well glad you asked. it stands for /NIGGAS/
>>204116213Inside, for sure.
>>204116587He's a gay asian guy. Films usually pretty enjoyable.
>>204116213>Costa>Tsai>Apichatpong>Frammartino>Serra>Jia Zhangke>Wang Bing>Roy Andersson (lmao @ Schrader misspelling his name)I'm firmly outside of it.
>>204116561So that basically means that Tark is 50/50? I don't think I agree, only Mirror is kinda like that. To give it a popular director's name, I'd call it the '2010s Malick' ring
found a good list of films to avoid at all costshttps://boxd.it/Y552
>>204116713>So that basically means that Tark is 50/50?Yeah, Schrader thinks that Tark is at the very edge of commercial appeal.
>>204116422any way I could get the names for the ones without a title on the poster?
>>204116755>Sort by Release>The Deer HunterEh?
>Why do I hate Godard? I don't remember anymore>watch this>oh, that's why
>>204117152lol
>>204108888I love Naruse long time. Late period >>>>>
>>204116213What the fuck is this horseshit.>>204117291Strongly agree.
>>204117291>mogs chabrolbased Naruse, but you should watch Urashima Tarô no kôei from his after-war films, is very interesting political satire coming from such melodramatic career director
/film/approved westerns?I’ve seen all of Leone’s films and all of Eastwood’s filmography. I’ve also seen a few John Wayne films but I’m not really a fan any recs?
>>204117535High Noon
>>204117291Sorry for an autistic post but I've always been intimidated by Japanese filmmakers like Mikio Naruse because of their filmographies. They all started directing after turning like 20 years old and were churning out like 5 feature films a year, if it's the 30s the first half of the decade is still silents because Japan and all of the films are lost. That really triggers my autism because when I feel like checking out some popular and important filmmaker like Naruse I always want to watch a couple of their first films because it's interesting how they were starting out
>>204117535Have you seen The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance?
>>204117595Just start in the 50s and go to the last film, that's his best period by far.
>>204117634yes I very much liked it
>>204117535People have talked about Django in here before, it's pretty fun.Obviously, El topo.And I'm gonna add Dead Man too. It's kinda cool.
>>204117722So you DID like at least one John Wayne film! And what about Fort Apache? It's more of a 'military' western though>>204117793I wanted to recommend El Topo too lmao, I don't like it but it's an interesting film to recommend just to see anons' reactions
>>204117793>>204117901>El topoNot a good rec for someone that wants to enter the genre, Tbh desudesu
>>204117901I liked it, Stagecoach, True Grit and The Sons of Katie Elder. It’s just something about Wayne that puts me off, I can’t describe it. I can’t enjoy his filmography like I can someone’s like Eastwood, Randolph Scott or Audie Murphy
>>204117945He asked for /film/ approved westerns, and El topo is in the canon, so...>>204117901I do like it, but not so much. I feel the only Jodo that has stood the test of time for me is La montaña sagrada, all of his other stuff rubs me as kinda poor in execution or straight up incompetent (Fando y lis specially, that was horrible lmao).
>>204116770insofar as people who want to get into films think by consuming Tark that they'll attain taste and can be taken seriously by >le cinephiles. he's accessible only by reputation and the power his name holds. he's probably not the best entry point but it's the one nearly everybody takes.
>>204118115John Wayne was a shit actor but I can't help but love him because he was in so many classics, you kinda get used to him>>204118233> La montaña sagradaI hated it honestly, my favorite Jodorowsky is Santa Sangre. One of the very few non-torture porn (has elements of it though) horror films that I find to be disturbing
>>204118293What's the best entry point for arthouse? I think it's Kubrick (2001).
>>204118356>Santa sangreIt's alright, but I've seen it 3 times (used to be obsessed with Jodo back then), and I feel each time it lost more and more appeal for me. What do you find disturbing? The only bizarre thing I remember was slaughtering the elephant lol, but that's classic Jodo, he's actually insane / edgy as fuck
>>204118379>>204118293I've always thought that there is no such thing as an 'entry point' or 'entry level arthouse', you either get it or you don't. People who are destined to be cinema nerds don't need to condition themselves to enjoy an Antonioni or Bresson film
>>204116422>le random obscure shit and Hackdard and Hackdeyike
>>204118538some are easier to grasp and "endure" than others. using the Tark example, Solaris and Stalker, to a lesser degree, are easier to find your footing than Mirror. which is probably why so many more people have seen those than Mirror, Nostalghia and Sacrifice.
>>204118435>What do you find disturbing?It has some sort of distustingness to it when all the elements converge to create a really sinister picture. Like the whole circus setting, arms getting chopped off, the cult, the soundtrack, etc. I can't really explain it any better but I mean you say you used to be obsessed with Jodo so you'd know that films like his are hard to explain with words
>>204118538True, I discovered Antonioni purely by chance, didn't even knew what was arthouse kino back then, and the moment I watched Blowup it became my favorite film of all time.
>>204117535>Heaven's Gate (1980)>Colorado Territory (1949)>Great Day in the Morning (1956)>Way of a Gaucho (1952)>The Gunfighter (1950)>Wichita (1955)>Two Rode Together (1962)>The Big Sky (1952)>Johnny Guitar (1954)>Rio Bravo (1959)>Pursued (1947)>The Naked Dawn (1955)>Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973)
>>204116422>Chief Keef in picture number 12Name of the movie? lol
>>204118722>Mirror, Nostalghia and Sacrifice.I got filtered by those but like his other films, I think they are masterpieces, especially Andrei Rublev, watched it only once ages ago but this film is just something else>>204118750Blowup is one of my absolute favorites too
>>204118729It does have a "trauma"-like feeling to it, kinda similar to old giallo from Argento. Some psychologically damaging effect in some way... feels like lost innocence. I get your reply, I think the scenes where the boy cries are pretty sad in a disturbing way. I would put it that way: it reminds me of lost innocence.
>>204118850Well, it was produced by Claudio Argento. I think it's way better than the mystical mambo jambo babble that are el topo and holy mountain.
I put all taiwanese, hong-kongese and chinese fimls in the same folder named "China".
>>204116422>>204116841I managed to find all the film names myself, no thanks to you. here they are for anyone curious>What's Up! (Ernie Gehr)>Disappearances (James Edmonds)>FACE HOME VIEW (Raquel Vermunt)>Light, Noise, Smoke, and Light, Noise, Smoke (Tomonaro Nishikawa)>Medicine Cabinet (Eenie Gehr)>Digital Devil Saga (Cameron Worden)>Was Once One (Linnea Nugent)>Sundown (Steve Reinke)>Journey to Avebury (Stanley Schtinter)>Sea of Glass (Francisco Rojas)>Pedestrian Activities (Ernie Gehr)
>>204118920My folder is called "me play joke".
>>204118920I do the same for Japanese and Korean films.
>>204118895I get you. I too got disenchanted with his spiritual stuff, but that's due to personal matters in my case.
>>204118962sucky sucky five dollar?

>>204118850>"trauma"-like feeling to itYeah exactly

>>204118964>>204118962>>204118920That's racist
>>204119119Chinese Homogenity is not racist is racialist
>>204119119Yes.
>>204119165I had a racist friend in high school who used to say that he was a racialist ACTUALLY. He also made up that his family came from Austria and shit lol
>>204118945Based. Now which ones are actually decent?

Does Miami Vice belong in /film/? I just like the colors.
>>204114225Barbara Hershey.
>>204121545/film/ wouldn't exist without Miami Vice
>>204121545absolutely lil bro
>>204109495I see you, Kinskibro.
>>204116213I guess Schrader would’ve considered it cheating had he decided to include himself.
>>204121842ol bro didnt want 2 admit how close he would be 2 the center

>>204122509B&W makes Huppert look very cute
>>204121545Crazy question. Miami Vice is pure kino, best Mann along with Manhunter.
>>204122863He was probably asking about the TV show which Mann didn't direct
>>204122795Huppert always looks very cute.
Finally watched Præsidenten by Dreyer. It's almost perfect, I wish to see this in the big screen some day.
>>204124271>>204124312damn lil bro she beautiful
>>204124353To me she's beautiful in a very pious way, like the Mater Dolorosa.
>>204124271It's always weird to see any of the pre-Joan Dreyer silents mentioned. People here would have an autistic meltdown if they watched some of his other films. In Love one Another the message is that you shouldn't attack Jews and Michael is literally a gay love story. No I'm not making that shit up. Oh and also Dreyer made a film heavily inspired by Intolerance and it's pretty great, Leaves from Satan's Book (1921). His films certainly do have a certain charm to them, I feel like he was a very kind and deeply compassionate person

>>204124240>>204124667>>204125135>>204125285Gadonfag absolutely seething at Nastassja Kinski’s existence for the sixth straight month now. I never see him do this for any other actress.
American hours everyone
>>204126044Truly a wretched existence. SAD!>>204126118>>204126169Blah blah blah get some new material
I can't decide who's more mentally ill, the kinskifag or the guy who hates him
Yeah, this racist act ain't it. I know you guys are watching some BLACKED shit on the side. No need to pretend. Can't we all stop the shit tossing?

>>204127860what do you mean, it's just another thursday night here.
>>204109461I have tried at least 10 times to format a comedic post about how this is clearly the hottest queen of film that has yet been posted, but the system declares it spam every time. Wot ho, system? To that I say awooooga verily and depart post-haste
>>204127482aww shiet here we go again niggas.
>>204127860Asian poster started spamming racemixing content. So, a normal time on /film/
threads about to get really slow again lol
>>204127674>A third direction an image electron freed from the narrative nucleus can head is toward meditation. To my knowledge there are no early examples of meditative cinema. The notion that cinema could be used to evoke quietude is a fairly recent one. Static street shots from the silent era may seem meditative today but that certainly was not their original intent.>Film theorists such as Bazin, Jean Mitry, and Deleuze paved the intellectual path for a new cinema: a cinema of inaction. And Bresson may be the prototypical director of inaction. Before Bresson, I can think of no director who proposed inaction as cinematic tool. Bresson made “waiting” a verb. Transcendental style is a mile marker on the journey toward stillness.>There are also iterations of meditative cinema. In the realistic vein, Philip Gröning’s Into Great Silence (2005) did for Carthusian monks what Wang Bing did for Inner Mongolian coal workers with a very different result. Wang’s film is sociological, Gröning’s spiritual. Zhang Yang’s Paths of the Soul (2016) has a similar impact. It follows eleven Buddhist pilgrims as they trek twelve hundred miles over the course of a year, purposefully falling to the ground every few steps, touching their foreheads to the earth.Benning static
>>204128046>a cinema of inactionThat's what I thought surveillance camera was. Benning's films are more like actual surveillance camera footage than anything Schrader put up there.
Mods have done a surprisingly decent job lately handling spam.
>>204128125Schrader relates 'Surveillance camera' to the quotidian, like italian neorealism>Cinema’s ability to record an event over time, its ability to “imprint of the duration of the object,”elevated it above photography. Vittorio De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves (1948) was “one of the fi rst examples of pure cinema. No more actors, no more story, no more sets, which is to say that in the perfect illusion of reality there is no more cinema.”>By 1975 the young maid in De Sica’s Umberto D had grown up and become Jeanne Dielman, the single mother in Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, who spends thirty minutes at a stretch on household tasks. In an interview Akerman objected to the “hierarchy of images” that gives a car accident or a kiss greater importance than an image of washing dishes. By 2009 Jeanne Dielman had evolved into the family members of Jiayan Liu’s Oxhide II, who prepare and eat dumplings over the course of her 132-minute, nine-shot fi lm. The everyday: grinding coff ee, preparing meat loaf, making dumplings.>Another manifestation of non-narrative quotidian is the “walking” film. Characters walk around. Matthew Flanagan has traced the roots of this subgenre, beginning with Rossellini’s Viaggio in Italia (1954) to Antonioni’s L’Avventura (1960) proceeding to Gus Van Sant’s death trilogy—Gerry (2002), Elephant (2003), and Last Days (2005)—and arriving at Tsai Ming-liang’s Walker (2012), in which a Buddhist monk silently walks around Taipei for a half hour.
>>204127910Based.
>>204128401>No more actors, no more story, no more sets, which is to say that in the perfect illusion of reality there is no more cinema.”I dunno man, sounds like Benning to me.
>>204127860A certain poster noticed that I posted Nastassja Kinski like 10 hours ago and proceeded to have his usual spergout. I apologize for the inconvenience.
>>204128598She cute. To the Devil a Daughter was comfy.
>>204128598Gadon is still hotter though. Kinski was only ever hot in Paris Texas.
corrbabylons underrated movie you knoe
>Gadonfag is also Asian and an AMWF spammerStarting to suspect that every waifuspammer is Asian.
>>204128682Gadonfag got banned faggot
>>204128561'Surveillance camera' is man-centeredBenning is landscape-centeredThat's how I see it
>>204128657Agreed. Audiences these days can't handle an elephant shitting all over the camera eye, it's a lost art.
>>204128682corr love a bit of melody marks. great actress
>>204128657You mean the Chazelle movie? It was kinda ass, but I guess enjoyable. Terrible flop.
>>204128755corr is based
>>204128698But the other Mandala films/filmmakers aren't landscape-centered. Seems like a random distinction.
>>204128695duh, the ban confirmed he is an AMWF spamming ricecel
>>204128859there are 2 gadonfags
>>204128811I never implied that 'Mandala' must be landscape-centered though. The 'Mandala' is stasis. That's how I see it.
>>204128621Based, I'm gonna watch it this weekend during the Hammer section of my Halloween watch list.>>204128624My guy, you have clearly not seen Stay As You Are. Or Cat People. Or One From The Heart. Or Moon In The Gutter.
NEW>>204128953>>204128953>>204128953>>204128953
>>204128859there are clearly multiple people in this general who are into AMWF
>>204128919>The 'Mandala' is stasis.But a lot of the Mandala films move a hell of a lot more than many of the surveillance camera films. Dude said he'd put Tsai's Walker into surveillance camera, when it's more static than anything on the chart besides Benning and some Warhol joints.
