Here was my surprise-I’m Tsai Chronological Anon, and I started watching Tsai again! Got two reviews coming up-The Wayward Cloud- WOW, what a 180 turn after Goodbye Dragon Inn. Felt like a completely different filmmaker- quicker pace, bright scenes, very comical. I’ll admit, the opening sex scene along with all the graphic nudity felt quite shocking, even coming from Tsai. Bizarre storyline, crazy musical numbers, and we get to check in on the characters we’ve been following to get another chapter. It’s interesting to see his characters actually able to make connections with others now - yet they’re still superficial and surface level connections, they still long for something deeper, something more.The ending was a mix of hilarity and astonishment- kind of sums of his films as well. I liked it a lot, a very enjoyable and fun watch, but I guess the overall comical and bizarre nature of the film leaves me wanting something more “serious”.
>>205525409A rare Harper, comfy pic.
>>205533745Fuck, I meant to add this- I know a lot of people here really love this film. What do you enjoy about it? Anything I didn’t pick up on?What the fuck were they cooking in the kitchen?
>>205525314Based and blessed.

I Don’t Want to Sleep Alone- now this feels like we’re back to “usual” Tsai up to now. Great use of natural lighting, don’t think I caught any camera movement, depth in the blocking/shot design is top notch. The “fishing” shot with the moth flying around and guy walks up in silhouette is one of the best shots I’ve seen from him. Final shot of the film was fantastic as well.Depressing as usual with Tsai, characters again struggling to connect and when they do, it’s superficial physicality, while still craving a deeper love. Yet still some funny moments, the coughing scene was hilarious.I honestly don’t know what to think about casting Lee to play two separate characters. When he watches himself, it was quite a surreal moment. A very minimalist film, very few words being spoken while scenes consist solely of washing someone or changing bedding- yet I was never bored or felt it was “slow” in a bad way. The closeup of the guy holding the can to his throat, with intense red eyes, was actually frightening. Id say this is his most “queer” film I’ve seen from him so far, in terms of feeling and mood. I really enjoyed it, some moments actually felt comfy even though it was overall another depressing and strange time in Tsai’s atmosphere. Excited to continue with his filmography.I think I’ve seen anons here saying this is one of his lesser films- I can understand why one might think that it doesn’t come close to his other greats, but I did still come away really liking it. What did you like about this film? What didn’t you like?
My Stinking Kid- tried to watch this and ended up skipping it. Didn’t feel like Tsai at all, don’t know what the fuck happened here. An easy cash grab? A return to his earlier TV work? What the fuck was this?And that was my surprise, caught up /film/ with my Tsai Chronological journey. I see I have a making of doc, a short, and Faces (which also I’ve seen anons kind of shit on), then starting the Walker series. Holidays are coming up so it might be another bit of a break, but I’ll try to keep watches more regular as much as I can from now on.

>>205527420>>205533759I was genuinely taken aback by how cute she looks in it. Probably the cutest 'new' pic I’ve come across in a while.
It's so good.
>>205533745Great film. Love the musical angle. Those sequences are even better here than in The Hole. I kinda wish Tsai a few more comical films, though all of his films do have very funny scenes even after this one.>>205534207>I honestly don’t know what to think about casting Lee to play two separate characters. When he watches himself, it was quite a surreal moment.The casting choice is to drive home the film's Taoist themes. Read about Zhuangzi's butterfly dream. The butterfly is there to make it clear. I know Tsai has acknowledged the Taoist themes in some interview, but fuck do I remember where it was anymore. Essentially the paralyzed man dreams of being the homeless man, as Zhuangzi dreamed of being the butterfly. Or perhaps the other way around as the Taoist story suggests.>>205534438My Stinking Kid was literally just a TV PSA. I think he made it for the money. Though I do think you can feel his touch there, even more so than in his older TV films. Not a good film though.Face is good, but a minor Tsai film. Tsai steps even further away from storytelling with it. Painterly cinema.
>>205545502Yup
>>205545988Thanks for your thoughts, figured I’m missing Chinese related background to alot of his films
>>205545502>It’s good.FTFY
Good morning, /film/.
>>205533745His best film
>>205543685Masterpiece.>>205543933>costume and the swordFrom Marketa Lazarova, yes.
>>205533774Most of Tsai's films are comical and bizarre, sure this might be the one which is the most bizarre along with The Hole but Goodbye Dragon Inn is a comedy about cruising in the cinema. That's what makes a lot of Tsai's films work for me. He relies lot on physical comedy, similar to silent cinema. The more into the absurdity and artificiality he gets the better. The more "serious" his films are the worse they're in general. He usually explores the same concepts with the same style with little adjustments so being somber and serious just leads to films with no levity and little to no interest for me, like Days.
>>205532787Best in Hell, but only watch it after its prequel 'Come and See'>>205537826Holy based

Ever since Godard died, the world’s been a little bit off, ehh? Just some food for thought.
Godard is dead. Godard remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become Godards simply to appear worthy of it? Just some food for thought. https://youtu.be/IkgrCL6nCog?si=dFY-kDHFpgO2CCfE
We're all a little bit off here.

>>205554432have you watched this?
>>205554591Never. It is an evil eye from Satan himself.
>>205554941>It is an evil eye from Satan himself.Wait, how??
>>205554452It's cool, I just haven't watched those Tsai films, but I like reading reviews.
>>205554452It's ok anon, congrats on effortposting, I hope you keep doing it. It's just that I felt blue balled, was expecting something else. A review is not surprising, a sex tape with you and Tsai would be.
Any films about the 33 year old protagonist having trauma from sitting alone in highschool in the back of class and spending lunch in bathroom?
>>205555417Not that I know of. But there's a film about the 30 year old protagonist having a midlife crisis.
>>205554452I’ve never watched a Tsai film in my life but who cares, you should still post your reviews for others that have. It’d be ridiculous to discourage effortposting in a general filled with shitposting.
We're all effortposting here.
>>205557727This. Very much this. I have a legitimate intellectual disability, but I try my best.
I was put on the short bus at school although I didn’t look it. I was put in the special classes. Once a girl, out of her own good will came volunteered to help out with in my classroom. The rest of the students were slobbering fools, but I, I knew I was different. I didn’t look like the others, I looked normal although my brain wasn’t. The girl came to me. She picked me out of the other retards. She asked me if I liked movies. I responded yes, who doesn’t. She asked me if I knew the films of Godard. I didn’t, but I lied and said yes. That was the last words she spoke to me. I still remember her face and her voice. Since that day, I’ve been an avid Godard fan. I love cinema… I really do.
>>205558640>That was the last words she spoke to me.So knowing Godard made her avoid you like the plague. You should've learned your lesson.

>>205555019>>205557602I was kinda hoping that my blogging of Tsai Chronological would influence others to partake as well- it’s honestly been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling cinema backlog journeys I’ve gone through, and I’m only halfway. Unless he shits the bed on the second half of his filmography, he lives up to the hype and is truly one of the still working greats. I’d recommend any of his films I’ve seen so far, but the chronological watch is not a meme and adds a lot.
>>205563228Your blogging of Tsai was nothing. Have sex with Tsai, now that’s something.
>>205558640>She asked me if I knew the films of Godard. I didn’t, but I lied and said yes. That was the last words she spoke to me.Dumbfuck- she could tell you were lying and didn’t want to give any further attention to a pleb who lies about cinema just to seem cool. You should’ve said “no, what do you recommend? Can you show me some?” and get the ball rolling.Damn.

>>205562432No, it's actually underwhelming; still a good movie (8.5/10), but nowhere near as classic as people make it out to be. Same thing applies to The Shining and Alien, too.
No No Sleep is actually Tsai's greatest film.
>>205563228I'm already influenced to partake in my Tsai journey. I've seen various of his films, still feel like he hasn't blown me away, tough.

>>205565872Disagree. Seems like a personal thing with you.
>>205565872I get what you say. Some of those films really do feel b-movie-ish

Am I autistic if I think golden age Japanese cinema has good acting?Honestly I've rarely if ever suddenly thought 'this is acting' whilst watching Japanese cinema, I'm always immediately immersed in the film and completely buy into the characters
>>205566717It's great the same way golden age Hollywood acting is. It's not naturalistic at all, but that doesn't matter. They sell the emotion.
>>205563228Everybody has seen his films and they have been so talked about here that it's boring so I don't know why you thought that.
>>205566717It's just a /film/ meme. The only old, classic movie where the acting was weird for me is La passion de Jeanne d'Arc>>205566801It's just that both kinds of acting are very theatre inspired. Now, modern anime like acting in japanese movies is kinda lame hahaha
>>205567007Just your opinion big bro, let the lil pup have his day.
>>205548142>The more "serious" his films are the worse they're in generalThis. Days, Stray Dogs, that sleeping film and walker films are all shit. Wayward Cloud, Goodbye Dragon Inn, What Time Is It There?, The Hole are all great.>>205566717No, you aren't.
>>205567202Stray Dogs is very goodDays and Walker series are mid tho, i agree somewhat
>>205567007Numerous people here saying they haven’t seen him or majority of his films. He used to get memed to an obnoxious point, I agree, but those times are long gone and we don’t really have serious discussion about his films often.
>>205567990Good, we don't need more discussions of his shit. Everything was discussed and it's stale now.
>>205568056>Everything was discussed and it's stale now.Sure, now let's discuss some Tsai for a change.

>>205568241>i always raise my pinky when drinking tea.I'm more of a "drink tea eight times a day on a polluted glass" type of guy. No raised pinky for me.>>205568363Funny for me (and poetic).

I plan on rewatching Psycho soon, and then watching the Gus Van Sant version immediately after. Psycho is the most tolerable of Hitchcock's films that I've seen but even think it's just okay, I have a feeling I'll love the Gus Van Sant version though.

I would kill myself if I directed this piece of shit. He was really on some lazy shit when he did this, didn't even care to hide how pointless the whole movie is. Bruh just "had an idea".Is this the guy that directed classics such as Suicide Club and Cold Fish? How did he sell out so hard? This movie and Antiporno are abysmal.
>>205581020>He's not boring but is on the level of a normal James Bond flick. Just not special at all.That seems like a fair comparison, but to be honest, I probably find James Bond movies boring too. I've seen a few. I remember thinking Dr. No was okay when I watched it at some age, as a teenager. You Only Live Twice stood out to me because I was a kid and baffled by the yellowface plot. The rest of them I've seen I barely remember. I can only assume most people don't think Hitchcock is boring, it's never a criticism I see brought up by anyone else (not that I ever see much criticism at all), but he is extremely boring to me. Rear Window and Vertigo especially. I can't even tell you how many times I've seen Rear Window, but I think I've fallen asleep watching it at least twice. I'm sure I've seen the whole thing before though because I tried to watch it again this year and when I got to the point I thought I hadn't seen, I realized I had seen it. Ironically, Body Double might be my favorite movie.
We’re all De Palma fanboys here.
>>205582478>Body Double might be my favorite movie.I hated it lol, but whatever, Hitch isn't really boring for me, just another director to add to the long list of overrated (yet only mid) directors that I don't hate or love, which in reality might be the worst place to be in for a director. People need to make you feel something, for me the 'Cock is just entertainment.
>>205579180>really enjoy, when other directors "do" Hitchcock, and I don't know whyBecause they do it better than he ever could, he could never gape his obese asshole wide enough, try as he might
>>205582478Based fellow Body Double enjoyer, it's my favourite DePalma.
>>205583259breh i can think of at least five de palma movies better than body double
>>205583425Name 6
>>205583259That makes it three of us.

>>205582827>for me the 'Cock is just entertainment.Someone else said the same thing to me before. That his movies are just entertaining fluff, but I don't find them entertaining at all. If it weren't for Anthony Perkins I'd probably hate Psycho just as much as the rest of his films. >>205583259>Based fellow Body Double enjoyer, it's my favourite DePalma.I still haven't seen all his films but to me Body Double almost feels like the most De Palma De Palma. I love everything about it so much. I do wish there was a bit more Holly Body because she's incredible, but I wouldn't change a single second. >>205583663If someone told me they thought Carrie or Blow Out were better than Body Double I wouldn't argue against it. But for me Body Double is almost the greatest movie ever made. I seem to feel about Body Double the way most people feel about Vertigo.

>>205583773>scarfacelol opinion discarded. The least De Palma De Palma.
>>205583845Body Double is Vertigo and Rear Window with balls and soul, a morbidly obese anglo who coasted on formula and status like Hitchcock could never achieve that, and i actually like Hitchcock.
>>205584582Vertigo is more perverse than Body Double despite the more explicit nature of the latter film.
>>205581142I think that there's an interview somewhere where he talks about how much he enjoys making movies which kinda led him to a quantity > quality philosophy.
>>205584523>The least De Palma De Palma.Funny you say that. Scarface was the first of his movies I saw, and I hated it. Then I watched Carrie, The Fury, and Phantom of the Paradise and couldn't believe they were by the same guy. I figure I may like it more if I revisit it now but it's why I've been sticking to his horror-thriller stuff generally and been hesitant to get the other gangster pictures. >>205584582>>205583165>Because they do it better than he ever could, he could never gape his obese asshole wide enough, try as he might>Body Double is Vertigo and Rear Window with balls and soul, a morbidly obese anglo who coasted on formula and status like Hitchcock could never achieve thatI was trying to pull up a few links and articles cause just last month I was trying to figure out what it is I dislike about him, and I think formula and lack of soul have a lot to do with it. His films feel so unemotional and uninvolved. I wouldn't describe it as plotfag shit exactly but it does strike me as being mechanical and more about a scenario than anything else. He doesn't care about characters or acting, he doesn't seem to care about story that much, it all sort of feels like decoration? I remember reading that he wasn't even really directing his films until Psycho. Before that he would just write down camera instructions and leave it to the crew, not even bothering to stay on set.De Palma obviously reuses Hitchcock plots, that can't be denied, but other than that the comparison has never made any sense to me. Their movies don't feel alike. Hitchcock films remind me of Spielberg and Scorsese more than De Palma. >>205585029>Vertigo is more perverse than Body Double despite the more explicit nature of the latter film.Could you elaborate?
It's Bibi Anderson's birthday today
>>205585260Remember that faggot AI who didn't wanna fuck her? What a fag.
>>205562432What thing?
>>205563065The first part, yes.
>>205585260Happy birthday, Bibi! May you live many more years.
>>205585194Vertigo is about reanimating a corpse, dressing it up and trying to fuck it. Body Double is perverse and voyeuristic but in a very conventional manner. I would even say there is at least one recent film which I can think of that is more extreme than that.
I’m no child but I can’t help wonder, it seems like some kind of spell you’re under…

>>205586787There is absolutely nothing wrong with this post
>>205586820>I would even say there is at least one recent film which I can think of that is more extreme than that.Obvious guess, but Poor Things? And thank you for elaborating.
>>205586976No problem and no, I meant Liberté
>>205586976No problem and no, I meant Wake in Fright
>>205587387>LibertéYeah, I figured Poor Things may be a bit too pedestrian for this general. I have no idea what this is.

>>205591371This used to be the norm. Until a few months ago, most threads would die before reaching the bump limit. I'm not sure what changed this, guess the waifu spam must have brought new blood into these threads, for better or worse (most likely the latter.)
