Back and Forth is unironically a shit film.
>>204521466>>204521488
Queen of /film/
>>204516942>>204517150>>204517241>>204521030It is messing with my head and I wonder why it is so shocking. Then I realize, I don't imagine women as having consciousness. I think of them as NPCs who only care about fucking Chad and decorating cakes. The thought of women watching art movies just does not compute.
>>204521702Tsai needs to give an update ASAP
>>204521715I've been thinking of shooting him a dm on instagram. I NEED to know my lil nigga is ok.
>>204521659That is because you lack empathy.
>>204521762Do you know Mandarin or are you just going to machine translate it?
what's the discord
>>204521659Unironically, the majority of viewers at my local art cinema are mostly women. If they are men, they are likely over the age of 40.
>>204521659Cinephile women do exist, but only online. If you see one in real life they'll vanish the next moment, the universe will correct itself.
>>204521776I don't know Mandarin, no. Was thinking of using DeepL to translate the message
>>204521826This is simply not true. The person who instilled a love of cinema in me happened to be a woman. She is my favorite teacher I’ve ever had, and if I ever make anything of myself in cinema, I will be sure to honor her.
>>204521782There will be no discord, and that's the end of it.
>>204521659the only women cinephiles I know are trans
The only sin against revolutionaries is not treating them harshly enough.
>>204521823>the majority of viewers at my local art cinema are mostly women.Same here desu
>>204521842Okay. If he replies, ask him when the fuck the new remaster of The Wayward Cloud is coming on Blu-Ray. Remember to use traditional Chinese, not simplified Chinese. Taiwanese niggas get mad when they see simplified Chinese.
>>204521963or use simplified because it might rile him up enough to actually reply
>>204521491Which one, the Michael Snow joint or the nigga rendition?
>>204521659Most of them really don’t give a fuck about film. You gotta expose it to ‘em yourself if possible.
>>204521963lol remember the time Tsai’s agent came to /film/ to scold us for passing around bootlegged copies of Days, lmao really makes me nostalgic for quarantine film bros.
We're all passers around here.
>>204521996Well, there's a chance he may not even fully understand simplified writing. They can appear very different.>>204522360He came to /film/? I thought he only did that on Letterboxd, kek.
>>204522539Yeah didn’t that nigga leave his fuckin email in here lmao
>>204522539>>204522652It would also explain why Tsai has been the most enduring filmmaker on here for the last 4 years even outlasting fucking Griffithfag
Griffithfag 2-3 year runCaraxfag 1.5 years??Dumontfag 2 year runTsaifag 4 years and counting
>>204522722Tsai Strong
Tsai Mid-Liang
>>204522722Are you guys OGs from back in the day or just /film/ historians?
>>204522847I believe I am the only regular left from those days
>>204522847I've been here since 2020.t. Tsaiposter
>>204522868What happened to the rest? What has kept you in here?
>>204522897Pretty sure Dumontfag drove out all the quarantine newcomers. I am still here because I have no friends irl.
>>204522868I'm still here, I've just been busy recently t. manlet
>>204522847Was here from 2020 until late 2021 when I got bored and left. Decided to come back a few months ago. Hope I didn't miss anything fun.
>>204522943Nice some of the regulars I miss are Dreyer theatrical guySerpent egg posterVlacil/CNWfagJNW guysComfyfagAnd most of all the OG Meganon
>>204523013Qrd on serpent’s egg poster?
A bizarre desire of mine is to create something that has a lasting influence and leaves a legacy on the world, and unironically /film/ fulfills that need for me in some strange way. Have you guys fantasized about creating something, kind of like a collective, an idea, or a work of art that changes the world in some way? I like feeling like the things I do have an impact on life itself. I try to change everyone I meet just by being myself.
>>204523095He was shilling serpents egg every thread. /film/ holds it in very high regard now, but still everywhere outside of here it is considered bergmans worst film (though obviously the people who say that are just parroting popular opinion and haven’t actually watched it themselves)
>>204523013>And most of all the OG Meganonthat's me. I stopped posting megas because people became too needy, plus I just don't post as much
>>204523152Was surprised after watching it for FOTW then checking RYM to see it at like a 6/10 score equivalent. Why would people hate that film so much? The ending was different to what I expected, but I thought that the flick was amazing still.
So we still got like 4-5 regulars here from the good days ?
>>204523235>Why would people hate that film so much? lol I literally said why in the comment your replying to
One day yall will miss lil bro poster
>>204523285Your just an offshoot of the niggas
>>204523272"Parroting popular opinion" doesn't satisfy me at all. I want to go deeper.
>>204523314That’s because in the late 70s and 80s it became fashionable to dunk on Bergman (his nazi sympathies sort of related to that) but the European art films of the 60s got snubbed for the more social realism films of the Hollywood renaissance.
>>204523235Of course there are exceptions, but I've noticed that when a non-anglophile arthouse director makes a movie in English it usually isn't as well received as his other works
>>204523236Not that surprising. Times change, gimmicks change, and the thread mainly becomes a hangout for regulars who have nothing better to do.
>>204523152Wouldn’t say it’s his worst, but definitely lower tier Bergman. Nowhere near his top twenty even.
>>204523407Pretty much this. After two years of effort posting I just come here to shoot the shit with the homies, the whole film discussion thing is barely a pretense anymore
>>204522393*passed
>>204523439lol what’s number 1 for you, Smiles of a Summer Night?
We're all homies here.
>>204523559C&W
does anyone have the /film/ last supper pic
>>204523506I effort post AND shoot the shit. I was already writing reviews on RYM and hope to someday write reviews for a REAL film mag.

>>204523611>C&WBased pick, but you need to rewatch serpents egg because you are objectively wrong
>>204523614found it
>>204523792One of the comfiest images ever made
>>204523792Looks like Tsai hadn't been canonised yet
>>204523731What makes it so great? I felt none of the usual bergie feels or sensed any of the usual fascinations watching that one.
oldheads remember
>old /film/ regular>no one recognizes me by anything
>>204523901This pic is closer to /lbg/ desu
>>204524031your fault for not coming up with an annoying gimmick and spamming it ad nauseam
>>204524031history is propelled by men that nobody remembers, the common man
>>204523901
>>204524190Cope, the niggas made a bigger impact than no-gimmick-fag
>>204524277>Included lil niggaNow it’s perfect
Who is the better director, Tsai or Tsai’s Cat?https://youtu.be/BfnauIfmZrU?si=sWzKIhoot2wdZrSh
>>204524409>japaneselil bro i dont think that is his cat
>>204524435But their filmmaking styles are so similar
>>204524277who are the two between bresson and dreyer
>>204524483Fellini and Cassavetes
>>204523901The good old days indeed.
>>204524499between bresson and dreyer lil bro, not dreyer and griffithalso>cassavetesthat's gance
>>204523792Imagine being the earnest anon who made this not knowing that in a few years time this sacred space would be taken over and sacked by a gang of niggas
Not shitposting. Are there any films you could recommend tonally/visually similar to 60s Scoptiones? I can post another example too. Please nothing French. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wL6fhtTHoCg

Second example.
anons, tell me one film to watch that fits these requirements 'cause I'm too lazy to do it myself (sorry)>first director work>released before 1990>not horror>not from the big ones (Rosellini, Kurosawa, you get it)optional>the director has less than 5 featuresthanks

>>204525183'Rameau's Nephew' by Diderot (Thanx to Dennis Young) by Wilma Schoen (1974)
>>204524754Not entirely far off, but his movies aren't as odd.
>>204525270Based anon beating me to the punch.
I just remembered I downloaded Rameau’s Nephew off archive.org and that shit STILL isn’t back up lol
Fulci sucks. That's all.

>>204525923>cataractsIt's psychological /hor/, you wouldn't get it.
>>204525988You know nothing about psychological horror. I do.
>>204526040Please tell me.
>>204526083Why should I?
>>204525923>common plotfag L
>>204526110I’m not a plotflag in the slightest. You just have shit taste.
>>204526104Because.
>>204526110One day you'll all have to contend with the fact that story and writing do matter.
>>204526183They sometimes matter sometimes not. Would Gummo benefit from a better plot? No, it would be worse by far. House was written by Obayashi’s like 5 year old daughter. It’s one of the best!
We all matter here.
>>204524935Electra Glide in Blue.
>>204526211It's not even a top 10 Obayashi film.
>>204526230How does this negate what I already said? Also, you are wrong. It is most definitely top 10.
>>204526183Hot bitches, vibes and gore is all I need, thank you.>>204526211>Hausu>One of the best!I don't like it that much.>>204526214I like these kind of phrases / gimmicks :D
The Beyond is Suspiria level.
>>204526226This one, yes.
>>204526245>How does this negate what I already said?I'm not whoever you replied to. Just pointing out House is not top 10 Obayashi.>It is most definitely top 10.>t. has seen less than 30 Obayshi films
>>204526511What would you put in the top 10? I guarantee we disagree. Some Obayashi I find boring.
>>204526211It matters more often than not.>Would Gummo benefit from a better plot? Gummo would benefit everyone by not existing. Non-movie, much less a film.
>>204526750>I guarantee we disagree.That's already clear. For my taste, House relies far too much on just being silly, much like Cute Devil and his Kosuke Kindaichi film.Anyway, just in release order:>Lonely Heart>His Motorbike, Her Island>April Fish >Bound for the Fields, the Mountains, and the Seacoast>The Discarnates>The Rocking Horsemen>Goodbye for Tomorrow>Sada>Casting Blossoms to the Sky>Seven Weeks
>>204526276Bold take.
>>204527021Not him, and disagree with you about House, but that's basically all solid Obayashi kino (haven't seen April Fish or Goodbye for Tomorrow). Casting Blossoms to the Sky is probs his peak.
I've never seen a single asian film that wasn't completely worthless garbage that would struggle to even find distribution if they were made in Europe. Kairo and Audition were two of the worst films I'd ever seen in my life
>>204527021I think that House is really the perfect film that represents the saying that it’s not the plot that matters, it’s everything else. I remember when I originally watched it, I had no idea that Obayashi had lost so many people he loved to the atomic bomb, but I remember feeling there was something poignant/melancholy about it. After learning more about Obayashi, I rewatching it multiple times (twice in the theater). I can’t help, but feel this is one of the saddest movies of all time. In a way, it seems like a way for him to come to terms with the deaths of his loved ones, and not be bitter. Besides for the grandmother’s lover there is not much hint about this. Obayashi’s House is one of the best displays of raw emotion. Ya we definitely disagree. The first one I would dismiss and replace with House is His Motorbike, Her Island.
>>204522847i've been here as far back as the nicolas roeg schizo
>>204527492>I had no idea that Obayashi had lost so many people he loved to the atomic bombReally see Casting Blossoms to the Sky if you haven't.

About to watch Annette finally. I’ve been putting this off for so long. Carax has never failed me besides for Boy Meets Girl, but even that had its moments of genius. Still, I expect nothing, but perfection from this nigga. Here we go /film/.
>>204527545I haven’t. I will before it leaves criterion this month. Thank you.
>>204527898Jesus why. I’m sorry, I feel bad for you.
>>204527950I feel so bad for you too. I’m so sorry that you don’t realize that all his films are great. Les amants du pont-neuf and Mauvais sang are my favorites. I love Denis Lavant and Juliette binoche. Maybe, you should try rewatching his entire filmography in a couple years. Or maybe in another lifetime you may realize what you are missing. Poor you.
>>204527898>>204528061Based.
>>204528061I’ve enjoyed every Carax I’ve seen- but I absolutely refuse to watch a fucking puppet movie starring that hack ugly fuck who can’t act

>>204528437Goodbye my little love.
>>204528319Evening, cuckold.
Random thought. I can’t believe I missed my only opportunity possibly ever to watch Trouble Every Day in theater, because of stupid work. I should’ve quit. I am so depressed because of this.
>>204528572Yeah, I know the feel. I've missed some once-in-a-lifetime screenings because of work. Shit sucks, but at least you'll know better next time something great is playing.
>>204528319This is a Jessica Harper thread.

I can’t help, but feel this is one of the saddest movies of all time.>In a way, it seems like a way for him to come to terms with the deaths of his loved ones>Besides for the grandmother’s lover there is not much hint about this.Are you dumb? You had to learn about Obayashi and watch the movie multiple times to get that? It's incredibly explicit. They even directly state what the movie is about in the final scene. Why the fuck do you think "Fantasy" is the last one alive? The Aunt can't get over the death of her husband, Gorgeous can't get over the death of her mom, the girls can't get over their crush on their teacher even though it's not reciprocated and never will be. They all refuse to let go of their love and live in delusion. What sets the entire film in motion is Gorgeous not accepting her father marriage the same way the Aunt couldn't accept her betrothed's death. It's why Gorgeous becomes possessed by the spirit of the house, she is emotionally in the same state as her aunt. Not to mention she looks like her mom who her aunt was jealous of. Were you watching the movie with your eyes closed the first time you saw it? Were you "baked"?
>>204528697This is a Sarah Gadon thread.
>>204528779How does her husband's cock taste like?
>>204528878Jewish.
>>204528755Yes, I did not pick up on the fact that Obayashi had lost basically everyone he loved from the atomic bomb. Ya, I actually do have an incredibly difficult time focusing on plot and even dialogue sometimes. I realized this when I started watching movies with friends. What I focus on the most is mise en scene.
>>204528755>>204529040To me, it does not mean I am any less engaged, but I look for visual clues to understand what I’m watching.
We're all engaged here.
… >>204528655
>>204529040>>204529054>Ya, I actually do have an incredibly difficult time focusing on plot and even dialogue sometimesWell, that's fine. We all do our best. I apologize for my rudeness.
>>204529475Based and civilpilled.
>>204528908In an 2018 interview with Cosmopolitan, Sarah Gadon revealed that she only has unprotected anal sex and that she was “baffled [she] managed to get pregnant.” Gadon also claimed this directly resulted in the brief anal sex scene featured in Octavio Is Dead.
>>204529676I'm choosing to believe this.
>>204529040>What I focus on the most is mise en scene.Based.
>>204529676False. Sarah Gadon doesn't do that.
>>204529475You’re okay. I am seriously trying, but ever since I was young I noticed that I would miss out on key plot points or my friends would find a plot hole that I overlooked. I was always super into the movie, but I would be too busy trying to figure out what an actresses facial expression means, for example, to pay attention to everything else. I truly get lost in movies sometimes and feel emotions from something that may or may not have anything to do with the plot.
>>204529689It’s true, I just read a magazine scan of the interview on archive.org.
I am watching Annette right now. I am about 30 minutes in. I hope Leos is okay. He really seems to be sort of sick of life how he is deconstructing everything. He has been doing this in every film of his in obvious increasing amounts. I hope he is okay.
Shyamalan is a titan.
Anybody seen that autobiographical 41 minute one he made this year?
>>204530241Was Sarah Gadon in it?

We're all in this together.
>>204530686Lol. That is ok. I hope you like the movie friend!

>>204529765>I was always super into the movie, but I would be too busy trying to figure out what an actresses facial expression means, for example, to pay attention to everything else. >I truly get lost in movies sometimes and feel emotions from something that may or may not have anything to do with the plot.It's cool that you're trying but don't ever be discouraged or feel bad if you never fully get there or if it takes multiple viewings to figure something out, I know that's ironic considering my first post but you obviously have a deep appreciation for movies and your unique way of experiencing them can provide a new perspective or interpretation. It sounds like a great skill to have, especially if you're an artist yourself.
Sarah Gadon’s next role will be her biggest yet!

Is Annette a Brechtian masterpiece, whether intentional or unintentional? Just listen. It certainly alienates the viewer by reminding them of the artificiality of the performance. It literally speaks right to the audience multiple times such as Adam Driver speaking right into the camera saying this is my baby. The songs narrate the story. It’s been a while since I’ve read Brecht’s threepenny opera so I’m going by the internet.

Can someone explain why this is so highly regarded? I watched it with my mom last night and both of us were laughing and cracking jokes the entire time. We just didn't understand how two people in their late 30s would fall so deeply in love with each other after two encounters, and be so heartbroken two encounters later that the woman would nearly commit suicide. It's the kind of teenage folly from Romeo and Juliet, but aged way up. She wasn't even unhappily married.

>>204534735>watches old outdated black and white shit made before 2010>waah why is it so badRetard, at least you have taste though unlike people here who watch all those ''''''''classics'''''''''. Thank god /film/ is healing from that cancer

>>204534782does old music make you piss your pants too?
>>204534735The self-parody aspect is intentional, balzacian sardonicism expressed in the subtle, reserved English way on the level of form.
>>204534782look at this liddl poophead
>>204534749When you watch a film you are immersed in the feel of it, not the think of it. In order to feel, we need acting, melodrama, and dialogue. Cinematography is third or fourth in its importance.
>>204534801>>204534841>>204534869People back in the days watched shitty films because they didn't know any better. Not only that, they also made shitty films>https://www.imdb.com/list/ls056244405/As you can tell by that hack Bresson's taste
>>204534935uh-oh stinkybrain
>>204534522Based morning.

>/film/‘s family portrait
>>204534935>watched shitty films because they didn't know any better. Not only that, they also made shitty filmsthey do this still today, what's your point?
>>204534935The key is that Bresson was popular entertainment. Today artists thrive on the indulgence of 'understanding'. Cinema has become /fa/ when it should be /lit/. All this is a phenomenon of late stage capitalism.
>>204535015>still
>>204534912>In order to feel, we need acting, melodrama, and dialogueNot true at all. Why don't you just watch theater instead?
>>204535029>Cinema has become /fa/ when it should be /lit/.What do you mean by this? I think there have been times when they are interchangeable. Not the boards, but what they represent themselves. Fashion and literature.
>>204535029Cinema actually has become /trash/.
>>204535031good and bad exist in all eras i'm waiting on some kind of substantial argument as to why old movies are all bad
>>204534935Your words mean nothing.
>>204535121My point is that old movies are not.
>>204535153bro WHAT.
>>204534765do black people really watch david lean movies
just delete
>>204535216>>204535295>>204535333How embarrassing...
>>204535216Let's hope these numbers are crossed out now.
What joints will you be watching today?
>Bullying someone for wanting to discuss filmsThis general is over.
>>204535562That is very true. Tyrants will be the death of /film/!
>>204535079Cinema is theater. No one is sitting there watching a bunch of laser light shows, as much as they pretend they do, I bet they sre watching Porky's at the end of the day. For instance, not one person has talked about Joker 2's cinematography. Everyone is talking about the plot. Not its incredible lighting, long camera shots and David Fincher esque grit. According to vibesfags Joker 2 should be great. >>204535094Today all a film needs is heavy vibes and it gets 3.6 on letterboxd, but they are written by apes. The Substance is a terrible movie because it has no:>likeable characters>articulate dialogue>good story>resolutionMegalopolis is particularly bad. The entire conversation about this movie revolves around the budget. No one actually had anything to say about the movie itself other than: it cost a lot of money. It is a total cinematic failure on every level. Joker 2 on the other hand is a cinematic triumph. Like Fando Y Lis it is causing mass riots among all the right people; when the mutant children of capitalism are angry about their bread and circuses, you have done something right.
We're all over here.
>>204521457any kino like Homestuck?, I'm asking unironically
>>204533959>Kentucky Fried Chicken arthouse
>>204534522Morning.
>>204529676>I will never get to stick my yellow penis in Sarah Gadon’s rumpI don’t like the Jews bros
>>204531135No sorry Gadon don’t like unzesty niggas
>>204535600What do you mean by heavy vibes? Vibes to me transmit emotion and real thoughts. I am a “vibefag”, and I didn’t care for Joker 2. I prefer a more dogme 95 type of film that is outside of cinema. I am glad that you liked Joker 2 though, and are able to take a lot from it.
>>204532067On that note does anyone know any theaters that screen nitrate film? American cinemateque in LA does it like once a year
>>204533041Demons by Toshio Matsumoto. Shit was like therapy for me.
>>204534847Wait, is this the consensus, that it's satirical? Could you elaborate?
Somebody make
>>204533312>Lana RhodesBased Hapa baby mother
>>204535860Why? Why the rush? What is wrong with this thread?
>>204535882Dude we're almost at bump limit.
>>204534805He was such a sweet gentleman. :(
>>204535893Then you better bake my nigga!
>>204535555Probably L'uccello dalle piume di cristallo
>>204535932I... CAN'T!
>>204535854Don't confuse satire with humble self-irony, comedic intent with the human comedy of the ordinary.
>>204535990Are we supposed to laugh at her or not?
>>204536063Not.
>>204536124But she's funny.
>>204521782>>204521910send the invite already
>>204536063You need someone to laugh at, laugh at this nigga instead. He’s hilarious.
>>204536148I personally think her excited naivety is very moving. Extraordinary perfomance.
Can someone send an invite to the next thread?
>>204535882>>204535893This was a good thread.
>>204536207>>204536082
>>204536212What were the highlights. I wonder if any of my posts contributed to this.
>>204536194Nigga, she's a 37 year old who nearly left two kids motherless and a man widowed because she wanted to fuck a man she met three times. It would be endearing if she were 13 years old.
>>204535820>Vibes to me transmit emotion and real thoughts.I am not outright dismissing vibes but they are fourth or fifth in importance, even after sound design. Zoomers have made them number one. Vibes offer only a primitive aesthetic experience. The vibes bullrun is ending and soon directors like Caroline Fogart and Coppola are no longer going to be able to scam their way into Cannes with vibe fests. Film is soon going to resemble literature and music with its fluidity between thought and execution. Even AI can emulate vibes. Vibes is the bare minimum even a ten year old can execute, see the liminal spaces. Vibes are terrible.
>>204536396>The vibes bullrun is ending and soon directors like Caroline Fogart and Coppola are no longer going to be able to scam their way into Cannes with vibe fests.anon, The Substance won an award in Cannes
>>204534522Coal burning, /film/
>>204536332She was rather naive, yes. What if the romance was her first real romance, her first real love, her first real emotional experience, that she was in fact 16 years old in this sense - despite being 37, married, two kids? What if she enthusiastically jumped at the first opportunity to feel life because she was denied that feeling by the busy flow of modern life, bourgeois life, British life?
>>204536240>Harper OP>Michael Snow>meta discussion>film discussion>civil waifuposting>“we’re all x here” postingObviously I’m a little biased
>>204536512But she loved her husband, she said so.
>>204535014Hey!
>>204536212No
>>204537127Yes, why else would she marry him and have children with him and live a happy if uneventful life with him? Now how do you solve this dilemma?
>>204537376What dilemma?
