>>204697352The only thing I remember about that film is that Michel Piccoli was in it. Or was he in the one with Paul Newman?... Fuck, Hitch really should've retired after Marnie but Frenzy is alright
>>204697480>Michel Piccoliyes this is the onevery anticlimatic ending, but I guess that's from the noveljust noticed that none of the main characters are in the webm, that tells you how interesting they are

Meeting Tsai in two weeks. What should I ask him?
>>204697893It fucking sucks but it's impressive that he made a film in 1976, he started out as a silent filmmaker. Are there any other examples of directors who started during the silent era and made at least one film in the 70s? It's so bizarre like, you lived through the silents, through the early talkies and the whole classical era in general and then the new school stuff like The Godfather and Taxi Driver is being released but you are still in business, still making films
>>204697893This is a terrible take, Family Plot is so much better than anything in Hitch's final years. It is him finally letting loose and no longer giving a fuck but just having fun. He knew he was on his death bed and this was his last feature, so he no longer cared about public opinion and made what feels like his most personal film since his 50s stuff. You only think its bad because you are preconditioned to think slapstick and loose narrative structure are bad things. Rewatching this is infinitely more enjoyable than slogging through most of his other late 60s and 70s work. Even with bad green screen and everything, Family Plot is Hitch finally saying fuck the establishment I'm gonna die and this is gonna be my party outta here.Also Barbara Harris is his best leading lady since Tippi Hedren in the Birds.

Why do people in these arthouse movies have to always be so weird? I loved the cinematography and didn't mind the slow pace but the unnatural dialogue made it hard for me to connect to the characters even when I could relate to some of the stuff they said.
>>204699570They were pretty normal in Il deserto rosso, apart from the weird group sex stuff and the hypochondria, but what can I say, everyone's got something strange about them irl too
>>204699570I am literally Monica Vitti in that movie. I’m sorry you think I’m weird.

Karen’s sister Jule travels with her family to Markus’ birthday party. While Karen takes everyone’s breath away with her domineering manner, Jule is the complete opposite.

Assays from Berlinale Had poor reception Unsurprising considering he has been mostly mediocre late career (although I liked Personal Shopper) and also muh covid in 2020 fucking 4>April 2020––Lockdown. Etienne, a film director, and his brother Paul, a music journalist, are confined together in their childhood home with their new partners Morgane and Carole. Every room, every object, reminds them of their childhood, and the memories of the absents––their parents, their neighbors… This compels them to measure the distance that separates them from each other and the roots they share, those of their ground zero. As the world around them is becoming increasingly unsettling, unreality, and even a disturbing strangeness, invades their daily gestures and actions.https://mega.nz/folder/vYBV0ZoK#gqHSBeDX52KhOk5VwbKFdw

>Pietro is a revered teacher, Teresa his brilliant and precocious student. Their affair is both illicit and tempestuous. After one fight, Teresa suggests that each tell the other a secret, one so shameful or shocking that were it to be made public, it would destroy that person’s life. Time passes, Pietro’s stature as a writer grows and his family settles into the comfort of a bourgeois life. But he is haunted by the possibility that Teresa may one day reappear and tear apart his world with the secret she knowshttps://mega.nz/folder/qdhmkCLL#n46uelXm3Ry-o5V3EpI8BA

>>204699892>Ironically some people irl really are like thisYou've met people like that? I would feel weird having group sex with friends ngl, I'm a bit more private than that
>>204700202Did you enjoy the flick?>>204700255For some reason, her character in the movie added to Spacek's appearance makes me feel deep compassion for her. Masculine desire to protec activated
>>204700479Wait but they weren't having group sex in Red Desert, they were just talking about it and laughing. But I may be misremembering things, been a while since I watched it. I remember that when they went out there were a couple of beautiful foggy scenes
>>204700531Yes, perfect casting.
>>204700531Paris was great. I’ve see the second phone call referenced here plenty of times but it was so good it could’ve been a movie on its own with enough padding. I’d been meaning to see it for a while and I didn’t get the hype until I actually saw it front row. I’m not gonna act like the Stanton and Kinski played “respectable” characters but the emotion and dialogue they exuded felt incredibly authentic, like real people.I also saw Carrie in theaters like a week ago. I’d already watched it a handful of times obviously but seeing Sissy smile at prom on a huge screen was just something else. It also broke my heart knowing what happens to her shortly after… she didn’t deserve it. For me though, it was almost on the same level as seeing De Palma’s Phantom.
>>204700895seen* man I need to stop drinking and start proofreading
>>204699940the synopsis sounds promising
>>204700692They didn't have "sex-sex", but they were fondling each other in sexual ways.>>204700895I like Paris. Carrie is a cable TV classic in my eyes, and yes, the people in that movie are very cruel. Many such cases, unironically.

fuck, this was good
>>204700255>11/03/76
I never say what films I went to see in theaters because I'm afraid some some /film/ maniac who lives nearby/in the same city can dox me #schizoshit #paranoia
>>204697737wake up mr west
>>204701648I was literally just thinking this. I just went to see a movie too. What movie did you see? What letter did it start with?
>>204700895You're aware Sissy worked on Phantom right? As part of the crew. Carrie is a much better film than Phantom imo.
>>204701648>>204701734We're all perfectly sane here.
We're all stalkers here.
>>204701648I completely understand, yet at this point, I don’t really give a fuck lol. Btw I’ll be seeing this front row wearing my favorite shirt, anyone near DC should check it out.>>204701760>You're aware Sissy worked on Phantom right?Yes! She was dating her husband Jack Fisk at the time.>Carrie is a much better film than Phantom imo.Obviously I can’t agree on principle but they are my two favorite De Palma films along with Blow Out.
>>204700895I'm still jealous that your first experience with Paris was in a theater. It blew me away even on my modest TV and soundbar. I've pretty much forced everyone I know to watch it this year, so far they've all loved it.
>18 joel haver's movies to watch
>>204701941I'm a Body Double man.
>>204702052>that Super 8 sceneSurprisingly, I saw that some theaters are still playing the Paris restoration until the end of the year. I’d keep checking your nearby area to see if any more showings pop up so you can see it how it was intended. Fuck work
>>204700127literally this, not even good festival bait.

>>204699940>mostly mediocre late careerLook, I enjoy some of his films, but his whole career was rather mediocre.
Peak kineticism
>>204703347It is the biggest shame of my lifetime that exploitation, shlock, and italian genre films has become considered /film/ in some circles.
cinema is a gift
>>204703347>>204703423
>>204703423If someone like Hitchcock is considered /film/ there's no reason italian genre films shouldn't be too.
>>204703347One of the worst takes I've ever seen in my entire life.
>>204703423Some gialli are definitely /film/, some exploitation like Texas Chainsaw Massacre are arguably /film/, and I don't know what you mean by "schlock".
>>204700045ohh great
Are there any arthouse films that are actually fun and engaging to watch or are they all boring and uneventful?
>>204703681It means manbabies now insist that their childish garbage is now artistic
>>204704095Suspiria's where it's at
>>204704180So, what is exactly "schlock"? Give concrete examples.
>>204704095Try the Walker series.
>>204704095if it's fun to watch then it's not art because art should challenge you
>>204704095bottle rocket, rushmore, fast food nation, slacker, dazed and confused
>>204704278oh arthouse, lmao no they aren't
>>204704228It began around 2011 when this movie came out, and people realized that stuff made for 13 year old boys (thinly veiled capeshit films) but utilizing retro, neon visuals and synth music, could also pass for being high art. It was then that the arthouse got completely destroyed forever. There used to be a place for trash, and a place for art. Now the arthouse is just a place for shlock, ultraviolent films (now they call it "the french extremity"), and literal horror films made for horror audiences, are now considered arthouse (The Substance, Terrifier 3, Skinamarink, Late night with the Devil). It is like everyone collectively decided that they are too stupid for art, so they agreed to lower the standard and decide the movies made for 13 year old kids is art instead.
>>204704319They are, Wes is a part of the /nigga/film canon.
>>204704388I've never heard of anybody speaking of Drive like it was arthouse. The Substance just got praised, and the rest of /hor/ bs you posted is just acclaimed /hor/ stuff. I get what you're going for, but I think something like A24 is the real example for mainstream "arthouse". And french extremity is literally from the 90s
>>204704095New Old
I didn't think it was that shocking
>>204697115>coalburner edition
>>204704627Only the scalp scene shocked me. The film is amazing, though.
>>204704627Saw this on tv when i was 15. Cable was so much cooler than streaming, prove my mind.
>>204704388As the president of late night /film/ i say you can talk about any film here during these hours as long as it's not Hereditary.
>>204704455Really? It won best film at Cannes, a place reserved only for the best of the best of cinematic art.
>>204701476mid
>>204701476kino
>>204704827So did Pulp Fiction and Wild at Heart back in the 90s, if anything I'd argue that's when film as art was well and truly over.
pleaseee
>>204704758Streaming is comfy, but cable TV in the early 00s was insane. Saw Evangelion, Serial Experiments Lain and Bubblegum Crisis, -amongst many other classic anime-, when I was 4-6 years old due to Direct TV.>>204704827I guess you're right, but I personally won't recognize Cannes or any other film festival has having any clue about what is good kino in this era. Substance is a literal 2/10 movie shilled just because it's "feminist"; it's not even about merits anymore, just about agendas. I'd say it probably always was like that, but you know, atm it's horrible.>>204704791Legit 7.5/10 comfy horror kino with the goofiest decapitation scene I've ever contemplated, Jason Goes to Manhattan type shit
>>204702958The fact that you said this without me directly mentioning her means I’m doing something right.>>204703048I truly love it and I’ve never hid it posting here. I’ve always enjoyed film but it’s like a switch flipped off when I finally saw it around New Years. I watch other movies and like other actresses of course but nothing else comes close. I was even planning on showing Suspiria to my friends if we meet up this month lol I already told them about the Harper trilogy and showed them the trailers when they were over a while back.
>>204705012Ok, you can have my cock bro

>>204707016classic schizo
>>204707000>Alain DelonThank you, this is what I mean!
HHH > TML
>>204707203what have you watched? watch oh my ghost
>>204707322why
>>204707203kdramas are more about feeling comfy than anything else. Just like with any genre of programming there will be interesting projects, and shitty ones. A small problem with kdramas imported to netflix is that due to song and image licensing there are lots of censorship and hidden edits of kdramas in western platforms like Netflix and Disney+, etc. If you are looking for a recommendation for a good first kdrama, I would wholeheartedly recommend Extraordinary Attorney Woo, it is one of the few dramas on netflix without any censorship.
>>204707322EY > both

>>204708375I think it's dead for now, doesn't mean that it can't resurrect eventually. Think of vinyl and casettes; people realized digital formats suck, and went back to analog.
I really want to understand why I dislike certain directors.
>>204708471It stars Eric Roberts, before his motorcycle accident, when he was super handsome. I simply mentioned it also has beautiful Brooke Shields in the cast. My answer was perfectly pertinent, you are very dumb.
>>204708572You're remarking the beauty of a child, therebefore you are a pedo and a dumb nigger
>>204708656I pointed out you don't know how to read properly and you got mad and started calling me a pedo, you're the dumb one, everybody can see it, just stop.

>>204708387>>204708471>>204708656>>204708854Imagine getting this triggered over Brooke Shields.
Glad I missed the last few threads, they were pretty shitty (including this one so far)
>>204709366Nah it’s been a great thread so far.
Do you think that the ratings for arthouse movies are inflated because people are afraid to feel like a pleb if they didn't enjoy it?
/film/ fell off
>>204709446They only do that to women directors nowadays.
What's the point of consuming high art if it doesn't lead you to enlightenement?And enlightenment comes with a few conlcusions:1- Society is collapsing2- the soul of the world is being ripped out3- most people living today are soulless subhuman bugmen beyond salvation.4- the last good time was the 90sIf you haven't reached these conclusions. All your time watching arthouse films was wasted. Might as well put on an episode of the office next time you sit down to watching something.
>>204709542>4- the last good time was the 90sFucking lmao. Way earlier than that.
Alucarda- holy fucking shit this movie was badass. Great set design, costumes are amazing, music is awesome, batshit insane dialogue and acting on a Zulawski level. How the fuck does this film not have a Blu-ray/4k release, why is this film not more well known?? Are the rest of Moctezuma‘s films this badass?
>>204709591Forgot to add- fantastic nudity, I would sell my soul to Satan for a three way with the two leads
>>204709591>>204709651Extremely based. I love Alucarda! (both the movie and actress) I made a thread recently on it that hit bump limit, Satan willing
>>2047095425- all art is dead, film, painting, music, all of it. Anyone who tries to make art in 2024 need to be put aside and question "Bro, what's this? what is it you think you're doing? What do you hope to say or do in 2024 that hasn't been said or done before by better men? Bro, you realize the holy spirit is not moving anymore? you were sitting with your daughter watching tiktoks and you just think you're gonna come here and drop some art on us?"Anything they will ever make can be premetively dismissed by the fact that they are making in 2024, with no apparent awareness to the sad situation of the zeitgeist.
>>204709739>I made a thread recently on it that hit bump limit, Satan willingYou mean the Sarah Gadon thread?
>>204709763Thanks for reminding me that thread was up so long you tried derailing it on five (5) different occasions and jannies got so sick of it they didn’t even bother the last time.

>>204710190Thanks for the link, read through it which describes why there hasn’t been a 4K release yet. Hope someone finds a print.Have you seen the filmmakers other films? Any good?

>>204710372Is that all you do? just mock and say lmao, never saying anything of substance? you're very far from enlightenment.Why did you even take the time to type that response out?
>>204709446I'm sure about that because I myself have tried to gaslight me to like movies I don't like AKA I pseud filtered myself.
>>204710366It’s absolutely criminal we haven’t even gotten a blu-ray release yet but it makes sense… I haven’t seen any of his other films yet but I plan on watching Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary (1975) by the end of the month because Justine (Susana Kamini) is in it.
>>204709446They definitley are. You see resurrgence and apprecaiaton for all kind of good human art in the sociery we live in 2024?Something don't add up, ofcouse the appreciation is shallow and forced. If it was real it would reflect on the humans.That's why you can't trust any /film/ bro just because they claim they like Tarkovsky or whatever. You need to press them to see if they understood or gained anything from the stuff they watched.
Very good movie, 8/10.
>>204710530Evil cinema.
>>204710548Tsai?
>>204710190I love Sarah Gadon threads.
>>204710518>>204710518In fact you're seeing a lot of shallow appreciation for many cool things in today's society. shallow appreciation for histroy, shallow appreciation for philosophy, shallow appreciation for science (Il ove science!).It's all very sickening. People making tiktok edits of different artistic movements.. People watfh a video essay on a topic and think they understand it.How Akira Kurosaw composes movement?
>>204710582Almost as much as she loves her Jewish husband.
>Mary Pickford night at my local kinematoriumA Feud in the Kentucky Hills, A Lodging for the Night, Friends, The Mender of Nets, My Baby, So Near Yet So Far, The School Teacher and the WaifAny worth seeing? I doubt I will stick around for the full ~2 hours but the admission is cheap enough that I am curious for the novelty factor.
>>204710975How are they projecting them?
>>204710640We all have deep appreciation for Sarah Gadon though.
>>204711053>projecting themI wish, that would be so kino. Pretty sure it has to do with this:The Mary Pickford Foundation's (4K) Restoration Projecthttps://www.nitrateville.com/viewtopic.php?t=26042
will more Ruiz and Oliveira movies get better releases sooner than later? dvd and vhs quality is some shenanigans
>>204711062Ready to have all your posts deleted again?
>>204711062Not as deep as she takes her husband's Jewish seed.
>>204710975>>204711122Even if it is digital projection, I would still see a couple. I haven't seen any of those particular ones you listed, but the few I've seen have been very enjoyable.
Hi guys do you like Goodbye Dragon Inn?
>>204711362Not as much as Mirror
>>204711215Many different people post Sarah Gadon silly.
Asian ghost stories are the peak of cinema.
>>204711557>Asian ghost stories are the peak of cinema.For me it's Sook Yin-Lee's film Octavio Is Dead, starring Sarah Gadon.
>>204711790That's how she is with her Jewish husband as well.
If you really think about it, it's so disturbing that large parts of current generations were alienated from their own culture and herded into the east asian exoticism grift through the kiddie anime. The devastating effect of globalism turning cultures into content.
>>204711790KINO
>>204708266Hey, wanna know something crazy? I actually first heard of Suspiria and Shock Treatment back when the remake came out – I never bothered with the original because I thought it’d be artsy fartsy bullshit in the vein of Black Swan like the remake.I also saw Rocky Horror in theaters for the first time back in fall 2018. Afterwards I remember looking it up and seeing there was a sequel with a bright red cover. I checked out the cast and thought “I don’t know a single fucking person in this!” so I never watched it. I also saw Safe even earlier back in 2014 when I was into Julianne Moore. The signs were all there and I never even caught them…
>>204712079Since I’m talking about it, if you want a genesis on Harperposting, two anons recommended I watch Suspiria in a /tv/ thread I made asking for psychedelic recs. I watched it the same night and this was the first thread I made about it that morning before the obsession set in. I was in complete awe, still processing what I had just witnessed:https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/thread/194578096/There’s one post in that thread I regret typing though because it is so very wrong. At first, I thought she looked manly/off-putting... then I saw picrel literally five minutes later and it all clicked: I realized “Holy shit, I’ve fallen in love with an actress named Jessica Harper.” The rest is history.
>>204712107she looks like barbara steele here
>>204712079I liked Julianne Moore in Maps To The Stars with Sarah Gadon.
>>204712220In a rare concession to you, Gadonfag, I will admit that I also watched Maps to the Stars probably within a week of Safe and it was 6/10
>>204712220>be Sarah Gadon >have 10/10 face>but also 10/10 nipples
>>204712352Her Jewish husband must be very satisfied.
Can someone recommend me African kino. I like what I’ve seen so far which is mostly Senegalese film.
>>204709542Good lord, shut the fuck up
>>204712812yeelen, moolaade, guelwaar, mossane, adanggaman, zan boko, yaaba, the list goes on...

>>204713156Thank you. Can you list more, for I already know of some of these?
Lily Chou Chou chads rise up!
>>204713250No such thing.
>>204712812I could only rec you Sembene but by your post i assume you already know him. If not, watch Ceddo.
>>204713267Thank you for what you have shared with me. I appreciated you. I am really interested in finding Ethiopian films. I have been eating a lot of Ethiopian food, drinking Ethiopian beer and listening to Ethiopian music lately. https://youtu.be/WxEjBw69ce0?si=8Dip3ySp0CZDUUPN I love this.
>>204712079>>204712107>two anons recommended I watch Suspiria in a /tv/ thread I made asking for psychedelic recs.Based anons changing your life with a rec. I first saw Suspiria at 14 sometime in early 2008 and i think i have rewatched it pretty much every year at least once since. I really liked Jessica Harper so i looked her up and saw she was in a movie by one of my favourites, DePalma, and so i also watched Phantom for the first time around that time too. For some reason i stopped there , and then only watched the two Woody Allens she's in years later when i was getting into his filmography. The Evictors i only watched this year after you recced it and Inserts i've only downloaded this year also. She never looked manly to me, i've always really liked her face. I'm assuming you're a younger guy. Also,>Jessica Harper>Isabelle Huppert>Julianne Moore>AlucardaBased taste. Too bad you're also into anteater-face Farmiga.
>>204712164Both had some of the greatest biggest eyes in cinema history.
>>204713229mortu nega, po di sangui, omar gatlato, the list (don't) go on
>>204713323Sembene is senegalese though. I don't know any ethiopian /film/, sorry.
Star Band de Dakar in Sembène’s Xala!
>>204713429Thank you!>>204713546I love Sembene. He single handedly made me fall in love with cinema again after a year of feeling frustrated with it.
How the fuck did they do it bros. I mean I sort of know but HOWhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYFXv6bDIY8
I've never seen anybody be able to explain what makes Hitchcock good.
>>204713674Figure it out yourself.
>>204708471That advice is anything but dumb.
>>204713674You see, I already know that Hitchcock’s great. I don’t need anyone to tell me that. Anyone who doubts the greatness of Hitchcock is obviously a pea brain.
>>204713385>I'm assuming you're a younger guy. Yeah, 28. Also I’m glad to hear that about The Evictors, I genuinely enjoy her films and just wanna spread the good word to see if others feel the same.>Too bad you're also into anteater-face Farmiga.You’ll just have to reconcile that with our shared appreciation of Harper; consider the fact that I likely don’t agree with all of your preferences either. No one agrees with anyone on everything.
>>204713580Are those amps? Are they standing behind the amps? >>204714110>28Oh so not that much younger.>consider the fact that I likely don’t agree with all of your preferences either. No one agrees with anyone on everythingOf course, i'm kind of half-joking when i give you shit for Farmiga.
>>204712164True, Barbara Steele was beautiful. To me, Harper looks similar to like seven different actresses.
What is the average age of /film/?

>>204714350>euthanizedKek, i remember that, i wouldn't be that harsh.>>204714272I'm 31.
I can’t believe I’m speaking to so many old people. Please onibaba’s and jiji’s impart your film knowledge on the youth of today. I’m a young bvll myself, and wish to benefit from your years of experience.
>>204713666With a drone, obviously.
>>204714272I'm 12>Baker specializes in what used to be called the demimonde but now exists as the lawless, shadow America where a subculture of criminals, drug dealers, sex workers, and other social parasites parody the old-fashioned ethics of the straight world. And like wriggly, foul-mouthed Ani, they do it with brazen entitlement (as seen in Baker’s Tangerine, The Florida Project, and Red Rocket). In Anora, Baker cranks this social disorder up to ten. He is what’s popularly called an “unreliable narrator,” totally in sync with Ani’s moral confusion, drawing out of Madison a performance of unabashed profanity that’s sheer exhibitionism. When Ani gets her French-tipped claws into Russian immigrant client Ivan Zakharov (Mark Eidelshtein), the youthful, sexual athleticism of their match-up (lots of romping between X-Box and dope-smoking) surpasses Larry Clark’s voyeurism in Kids, Bully, and Another Day in Paradise.>This amorality becomes the basis of Baker’s progressive zeal and social criticism. Ivan, the acned, wayward son of rich Russians, invites Ani, the daughter of Russian-immigrant proles, into his unearned privilege. (“God bless America!” Ivan climaxes after Ani does her tricks.) And Baker, no longer an indie filmmaker shooting with a cellphone, uses widescreen technology where the lens curves to encompass the opulence of a gated palatial mansion, complete with elevator.
>>204714543>Driving a Cadillac Escalade through Coney Island, these “responsible” émigrés search for Ivan, who has absconded (“I’ll become an American, and my parents can suck my dick!”), leaving Ani to defend her latest conquest (“You hit the lotto, bitch!” enthuses an envious stripper). Baker tours the ramshackle, bilingual American dream of ethnic rivalries between Russians and Armenians and belligerent working-class youths addicted to sneakers and video games. Igor and Garnick ultimately succumb to the supposed charms of the annoying Ani, admiring the feistiness of a girl who shrugs off sexual exploitation and the professional abuse of herself and others. (Baker’s close-up of Ani’s mouth screaming “Rape!” at hapless Igor and Garnick brings down the house.)>The absurdity of Anora is first evident in its lack of eroticism. Sex means nothing to Ani — it is separate from her emotions. That’s where Baker differs from Fellini’s Nights of Cabiria, the greatest whore-with-a-heart-of-gold movie; >>204697912>>204698021>>204699066>Fellini understood a working girl’s spiritual alienation (as did Bob Fosse in his musical adaptation, Sweet Charity). But Ani sports butterfly nail-art (unlike her co-worker’s dollar-sign nail-art) and ribbon tats beneath her buttocks. Through always-aggressive Ani, Baker adopts global hip-hop cynicism and lingo, shifting that exploitative culture into global debauchery. Hipsters who praise Anora (and Eliza Hittman’s Beach Rats and the similarly chaotic Safdie brothers worldview) are ignorant of Ice Cube’s 1996 directorial debut The Players Club, a superior version of the stripper culture that Baker panders to — and Ice Cube never pitied his heroine as damaged goods unable to connect to others.
>>204709542>falling for the 90s griftWay to entirely discredit your post.
>>204714562>Like Larry Clark, Baker approves taboo and mistakes outrage for rebellion. In that sense, Anora is a dreadful political farce. It’s the perfect film for the Kamala Harris campaign and the era of moral relativity in which we’re meant to sympathize with a sociopath’s self-interest and find it joyous, strong, and entertaining. With Red Rocket, I identified Baker celebrating America as a nation of losers — a pessimism he confuses with Jonathan Demme and Robert Altman’s nonjudgmental panoramas — and Anora continues that decline with crass satirical manipulation. That’s why the anti-American Cannes festival hailed him. Teenagers might be the perfect audience for Anora’s nonsense, although you don’t want to expose teens to the film’s greed and sexual degradation — even if they recognize Ani’s psychological damage as their own.
Why do you think Antonioni never achieved the success of Fellini or even Visconti?
>>204714591His films are slower and more phillsophical.
>>204714624Is Antonioni more philosophical than Fellini? I admire them both, and see them on equal ground in this matter. What is your reasoning for this statement?
>>204703511Celestial.
How is the viewer supposed to feel about Giuliana in Antonioni’s Red Desert? I for can’t help, but feel that she is literally me. I do not think that this is what Antonioni intended, but I’m not sure.
>>204713666>“We used a special cable device which I built in Moscow before going to Cuba. We planned to fly the camera between two big buildings in a major street. Because of security and insurance problems we used it in a little street. We used two cables and a small cart with eight wheels and a fork underneath where the camera was placed at the [end] of a handheld move. The secret of how we attached the camera to the cart was a magnet, part of which was in the cart and part of which was built on the camera. From the window the camera moved out about 100 feet.
>>204713666>>204714817camera was an Éclair CM3 Camiflex with a 9.8mm lens
>>204714710Genuinely curious how many /film/ anons are trans
>>204714847When did I say I was trans? What Antonioni says about her character is she a neurotic woman who doesn’t know how to solve her neuroses. This is how I feel. I guess I’m asking for more information about the character. How much of her was Antonioni his own feelings about himself? What did he do about it? Etc.
>>204714945Should I just go full Sion Sono and sperg out? I am neurotic. I have always been.
