Another late reply but I hope I get a response. It really is hard to find these kinds of films. >>205642236>I haven't seen it, no. That character archetype must've been popular in the sixties eurospy films though, since I see it in parodies like Austin Powers or those french OSS 117 filmsI figured. I watched Modesty Blaise a month or two ago and that character isn't like that at all. And I'm confused by where you finds characters like I described in the Austin Power films. Who exactly are you referring to? Maybe it's just been too long since I've seen the Austin Powers films because I don't recall any of the movies having a character like that.
>>205660228we all know u arent white lil bro

what should I watch tonight:HarakiriAguirre: The Wrath of GodWoman in the DunesTetsuo: The Iron Man (saw 4 years ago, so rewatch)Tokyo FistSpiderTrees LoungeThe CellFace of AnotherComing Home
>>205661485Great fucking film. What a shot.
>>205663831>Woman in the DunesThis one, it's the best on that list.
>>205663802I dislike 90% of what’s been produced in the medium (probably a conservative estimate), so my answer would be “no”.
>>205663831Tokyo Fist is fantastic. I just rewatched The Cell for spooky month and reviewed it in these threads, it became a short-lived meme post.
>all those deleted postsDid gadonfag show his ugly cock again?
>>205664003It's coalski spammer seething at cailee spaeny
>>205663881Cool I'll go with that one, I've wanted to see this for like 10 years so I'm excited>>205663966Yeah Tokyo Fist is one of the ones on that list I'm most excited to see, the trailer looks amazing, maybe that will be the next one I watchWhat'd you think of The Cell? It seems a bit goofy, but some of the imagery in the trailer had me intrigued
>Scanned from the original camera negatives by Martin Scorsese himself.
>>205664255Imagine the anon giggling to himself while posting this.
>>205663831Just watch Tokyo Fist as >>205663966 saidMy critiques:>HarakiriMehrakiri>Aguirre: The Wrath of GodClassic>Tetsuo: The Iron ManClassic, but both Tokyo Fist and Akira are better>Trees LoungePure heatIdk about the others. You on some good shit tonight, son

>>205664414See >>205663822
Great thread again, cuckolds.
>>205664282He's right though. The celeb worship in film culture is grotesque. Every hot take Tarantino has is flooding into our feeds. Every obscure movie has Martin Scorsese's opinion attached to it. We need a new film culture. A film culture that is based on ideas, rather than hierarchy. One that is about film instead of about clout. Ideals instead of identity. Spirit instead of aesthetic. Characters instead of judgment. Passion instead of politics.
I'm just glad you guys didn't have a cool discussion without me while i was in class.

>>205663840Yeah I thought that and >>205661898 were really cool. You're probably more likely to see cool shots like that in more serious movies but I have a very short attention span and can't stand serious movies most of the time. This general (and film fans in general really) sort of makes me feel like I don't appreciate film enough, like I don't actually take it seriously as an art form because I can't always watch dramas, foreign films, silents, or long films. >>205663923>I dislike 90% of what’s been produced in the medium (probably a conservative estimate), so my answer would be “no”.Aren't there too many films in the world to make that sort of estimate? I can say for sure that I hate 90% of films in a certain genre, but film as a whole? I mean, there are a lot of bad movies out there. Maybe you have a point. I watch hundreds of movies a year and only ever end up liking a few of them.

See: Żuławski. Just try different directors and movies until you get to the type of movies that you like. You don't even need to like arthouse, really (well you do, but you get the point).

>>205665199>See: ŻuławskiDon't remember if I tried watching anything else he did, I sort of remember a more recent movie that had like a garden or hotel or something? But I rewatched Possession recently and realized I don't actually like it. >Just try different directors and movies until you get to the type of movies that you likeI'd have trouble defining it exactly but I think my taste is already very particular, which honestly only serves to make me feel more even more alienated from other film fans, but it is what it is. >You don't even need to like arthouse, really (well you do, but you get the point).In all honesty, I still don't know what is or isn't considered arthouse or why. And I'm not sure if I should care either. At the moment, I'm just gonna keep watching Stanwyck films.
>>205665564Mystery niggas
>>205665843Yeah, even if she's not for me, I totally get why Quincy Jones had to have her.

No point in forcing yourself to like something you don't like.
what do ya'll think about my favourite films of 2024?????
>>205665843She cute.
>>205666811Your spam for one
>>205666811I mean, she's beautiful. I blind bought the Criterion for Tess because of how attractive she is. But she has no ass.
>>205666942Deformed toe also.
>>205666014Like I said, it's really difficult for me to describe. I'm not entirely sure what defines my taste but I know it exists. It's not something incredible or esoteric though, it's just my own. >>205666466>No point in forcing yourself to like something you don't like.I know that now. I choose to watch films for bullshit reasons though so I wind up seeing a lot of garbage. I can't always tell if I'll like a film beforehand but I can almost always recognize when I'll hate a film. And I do like the parts of Possession with Adjani, the ballet scene especially, the movie as a whole just doesn't work for me. I can appreciate that it was personal to Zulawski but I'm not a huge fan of metaphor. In fact, I hate metaphor. And symbolism. I think someone tried to explain the political subtext of the film to me once but it's just not something I care. I was invested in Adjani's character but not much else.
>>205667059Just give me some names of who/what you like.
>>205665102>This general (and film fans in general really) sort of makes me feel like I don't appreciate film enoughYou don’t>Maybe you have a poinI do
>>205667059>I hate metaphor. And symbolism.Interesting. It's like your staring at an empty beer bottles and insisting they're trash. When really, it’s you that is empty.
>>205666476You need to work on your bait.
>>205666976No tits also.
>>205667059The idea that Żuławski was a political filmmaker has always struck me as a massive meme. The idea that On the Silver Globe's filming was put on hiatus due to censors attacking him is so forced in my view: what even was in the film worth attacking? Some dudes screaming for no reason? lol>>2056673073deep2me
>actually getting filtered by Zulawskilmao
I really liked Possession but I’m not gonna hold it against someone if they weren’t feeling it. It happens.

>>205667118Lynch, De Palma, Satoshi Kon, Frank Henenlotter. I like the three Guadagnino movies I've seen. Ken Russell. Loved The Red Shoes, Peeping Tom, and Black Narcissus. "Age of Consent" was awful and I haven't watched any other Powell/Pressburger films yet. Frank Tashlin. I liked the two Anna Biller films but I haven't seen The Love Witch in a long time. Russ Meyer is interesting to me but the only two I would say I really thought were good are Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and maybe Lorna. Hideaki Anno's live-action and animation work. I still haven't seen enough Solondz but I really love "Welcome to the Dollhouse". Can't think of anything/anyone else.>>205667307Don't think I've called anything trash, anon. >>205667485>what even was in the film worth attacking?

>>205668066>aesthetics guyYou think so? Cause it's not the most important, but writing does matter to me. And whenever I say that I get accused of being a plotfag but I can't enjoy something that's completely empty but kind of sorta looks cool. I don't know, maybe most people hear "writing" and think "dialogue"? But it's also character action, what happens, and why. I need at least something to hold my interest whether it's a situation (and even an interesting story is pointless if the execution isn't there) or characters, and then you can make it look cool from there. I did forget to mention Ralph Bakshi. And maybe Obayashi? >I can give you recs of things that I think you'd enjoy, if you'd like.I would appreciate that. >>205668338The Takashi Miike movie? Maybe if it's not anything like Audition, I really disliked that. But that reminds me, I was really into Battle Royale at some point. And I really enjoyed the first two Ring movies too, the Nakata ones, I mean. And I haven't watched anymore Kurosawa but Cure was great.
>>205661796>I understand Awkwafina but the other ones are whatever.
Has any of you ever had/read one of those 1001 films to watch before you die books? I know they're probably more inclined toward Hollywood and blockbusters films but I'm interested on them anyways.Btw, costa rica anon may I have your trooncord to talk some /lit/ shit?

>>205668881Yeah the Miike one, it's pretty different from Audition I'd say, it's pretty Lynchian and dreamlike/psychosexual, while also maintaining a weirdly calm/comfortable atmosphere, it's my favorite Miike
>>205668933I'm going through Ebert's trilogy of "Great movies" books, which pointed me to some great stuff i wouldn't have known of otherwise (like Leolo or Walkabout).

Watching Double Indemnity. It's kino. Very natural characters and dialogue for a movie from the period.
what's the name of that movie where a guy with a gun interrupts a play and forces the actors to change it?
who else is watching Ruth Roman films on TCM?
>>205670260>Sam FullerHad to look him up but yeah, I've seen The Naked Kiss. I thought that was very good. Does he have a bad reputation or something?>Also, Rohmer if you're really into the writing.I'm not "really" into the writing, I just think it does matter, but I like the way these posters look so it wouldn't hurt to check him out.
Honest to god, if I ever join a /film/ discord, I’m creating a new account. The only one I have has my name in it and I’m not trying to give anyone here any ideas.
>>205670257>I can't put up with completely random shit happening because it "looks cool" but serves absolutely no purpose and doesn't say or mean anything.But that is literally The Love Witch lol>Despise Godard. :O>Didn't know Deneuve and Bunuel did another movie together.I think they have 3, maybe more.>I wonder if I should've named Polanski earlier, I really like Repulsion and Rosemary's Baby.Those are some great classics. Polanski's evil vibes are amazing.>Is this a joke?Half joke, half serious. I always put some bait in my truth to annoy anons on /film/, but seriously speaking, I've got a theory that retarded b-movie shit is just as valid and good as the highest levels of arthouse, like GODard. It has to do with action, aesthetics, and the unsaid philosophy of violence, nihilism and sexuality. I know it sounds pretentious, but hear me out: sometimes b-movies can convey feelings that arthouse joints rarely even approach. Take the example of Death Race 2000: people think that the film is just about cars, but it really isn't only about cars. Same with Vanishing Point: people watch the film and focus on the speed, without thinking about what the loneliness that's in the film and said speed mean. It's about isolation, about feeling that your life is going nowhere and you just want to escape it all. It's about suicide. All of this binds itself perfectly to yesterday's conversation about Tetsuo and the gay themes in the film. Film is about intertextuality, mood, and vibes. For those that have eyes to see, and ears to hear, the highest level of /film/ is the lowest level of /film/.
>>205669992supremelemon
>>205670475>Does he have a bad reputation or something?Not really, some anons here really dislike him though, he's certainly not one for subtlelty, watch The Steel Helmet.As for Rohmer start with either Ma nuit chez Maud, Clair's Knee or La collectioneuse.
b cinema is the embodiment not of film, but of creativity.Creative works can be stupid too.
>>205670366Tbh, I just can't give a fuck. I've been such an antisocial individual all of my life that I think everyone that knows me knows who I am. I used to smoke weed in front of my landlord lmao
>>205670527>I've got a theory that retarded b-movie shit is just as valid and good as the highest levels of arthouse, like GODard. It has to do with action, aesthetics, and the unsaid philosophy of violence, nihilism and sexuality. I know it sounds pretentious, but hear me out: sometimes b-movies can convey feelings that arthouse joints rarely even approachYes, of course, this is not new and many believe this, myself included.
>>205670555Same. I have literally shared my full name and face here even via sharing my youtube channel.

>>205670598Joel Haver... You son of a bitch!
>>205670445Double Indemnity kept me from being a Stanwyckfag, don't see how anybody could like that movie at all, but I seem to feel that way about film noir in general. >>205670539>watch The Steel HelmetI've been meaning to watch Shock Corridor so I might do that one first. >As for Rohmer start with either Ma nuit chez Maud, Clair's Knee or La collectioneuse.Can do. Thought I had Clair's Knee in my watchlist already, it looks familiar. >>205670474I have it on in the background.
>>205670841Are you the same anon that was listing off what you liked above? Funny that you wouldn't like film noir; the first person you listed was Lynch, and imo his greatest stuff is all completely saturated in film noir elements.I don't have a dog in the Stanwyck race but Stanwyck in this movie strikes me as a dead ringer for Arquette in Lost Highway.
>>205671035>>205670841also while we're on the subject of Barbara Stanwyck, how do you feel about The Mad Miss Manton? Looks right up my alley
>>205670230does it ever bother you having to look at her all old and gross now?
>>205670527>But that is literally The Love Witch lolDon't agree but like I said, it's been a long time since I've seen it so I'm not sure how I feel about it now. I probably prefer Viva of the two anyway. Ironically, that movie is essentially a remake of Belle de Jour. >like GODardI'd put Death Race 2000 over any Godard flick without hesitation. Even if his films actually were good, none of them have Mary Woronov. >but hear me out: sometimes b-movies can convey feelings that arthouse joints rarely even approachI don't think I can say I've seen much arthouse. Maybe I have, I wouldn't know. But if you're holding yourself up to a certain standard, if you want images that are clean and beautiful in a classic almost traditional kind of way and view certain things as beneath you you're limiting yourself hard on what you'd be able to communicate. Frankenhooker says so much, even just it's ending alone. Have you seen Brain Damage? I think that may be Henenlotter's best. I really recommend it. >Take the example of Death Race 2000: people think that the film is just about cars, but it really isn't only about carsWho could think Death Race 2000 is just about cars? The entire thing is about overthrowing a fascist dictatorship and critiquing the government. >>205671035>Are you the same anon that was listing off what you liked above?>the first person you listed was Lynch, and imo his greatest stuff is all completely saturated in film noir elements.Yes, and you think so?>but Stanwyck in this movie strikes me as a dead ringer for Arquette in Lost Highway.Yeah, I can see that. I couldn't tell you why I hate noir films, especially since I generally like mysteries, but they bore the shit out of me. I apparently do enjoy some films considered "neo-noir" though.>how do you feel about The Mad Miss Manton? Looks right up my alleyIt's fun. Not something you'd mention if you're talking talking about great films or anything but it's fine.

>>205672110Have nice timeI cant sleep so it's time for anime consooming, by the morning I'll start my french kinema viewing
I can’t say I loved Woman in the Dunes. I kind of expected it to be more mystical/surreal than it actually was. Still solidly creepy atmosphere/presence and I really liked the first 10 minutes of so.

reeeeeee when will the rest of Zulawski's movies get Blu-ray releases? this is bullshito
>>205672786*It makes me
We're all thirsty here.
>>205671442>Yes, and you think so?Yeah I think so. The most obvious example is Blue Velvet. But using it as an example is almost deceptive, because noir tropes and themes (or developments thereof) are almost ubiquitous in Lynch since at least then. Blue Velvet calls back to the 40s and 50s explicitly and that's what makes it the best example, but across his stuff since then his conflicts, relationships, and characters seem to be of the same stock as that of the noir genre. Maybe that's more a result of the influence of specific people (Wilder and Hitchcock most obviously) but it feels to me like it goes a little deeper than that. I'm going to start thinking about that as I watch movies now

Morning Gadonbros
>>205675599>>205671906Morning fellow Gadonbros.I love Sarah Gadon!
>>205675078Straight from the richs of my Deleuzean mind.
holy shit
>>205667485>>205667814Regarding Zulawski, On the Silver Globe was based on some sci-fi novels written by his own uncle or grandfather or some other relative. The government didn't like him spending huge amounts of state cultural grant money on what was essentially a family vanity project which is why they axed it. Also, Zulawski openly hated the moral anxiety political dramas. He said something to the effect that they prioritized message over visuals/aesthetic, which was his priority in filmmaking.
>>205675273It does both simultaneously.
>>205675953you own a vinyl copy?
>>205675648>filenameWe really have Gadonfag imposters now…
>>205676192>He said something to the effect that they prioritized message over visuals/aesthetic, which was his priority in filmmaking.So Possession is meaningless trash rather convoluted vague trash?

Only 179 days until new Gadonkino in theatres
>>205676790It's actually related. Possession is a manifestation of his anger at the commie government for taking away his cherished Silver Globe movie from him (along with his divorce and whatever other shit he was going through at the time). The exact quote was >The Cinema of Moral Qualm managed to create radiophony. Pictures were not needed
Only 23 days until new Harperkino in theatres

Remastering from 35mm negatives is vastly superior anyway. Glad the industry is doing that, and not scanning shitty theatrical prints to appease zoomers who never went to real 35mm screenings.
>>205680544I screened the 35mm of your mom's sextape last night

>>205676192This fits to a T what I thought of Żuławski; he was never political, never substantial, just a selfish filmmaker trying to make a name for his pseudery with some random meanings ascribed to his meaningless bullshit.>>205676790Completely meaningless trash, and there is no formal element in his movies that says otherwise. Filmic equivalent of abstract expressionism. What could that Jackson Pollock picture mean? Answer = nothing. Yet the critics love to verbally fellate that shit.>>205679278Just Żuławski doing a Żuławski. He wants you to feel "filtered" so that you end up thinking he actually is better than what you first thought of him. Really, maybe the worst filmmaker ever alongside Tetsuya Nakashima. The first is a master of pseudery, the last is a master of pretentious edgy wankery.

>>205681085Scanning films in the highest quality is the greatest service one could do to them.>>205681751I won. Archivists, restoration houses, and filmmakers all agree with me.
>>205681847And now look at the state of film restoration.Ritrovata agrees with you, Cameron agrees with you. DIe Die Die.
>>205681962nta, but what's wrong with scanning from 35mm negatives? I know nothing about any of this shit. I just watch films
>>205682027I mean, can anyone still be convinced that only the photochemical color and light determination carried out during the step to the interpositive can convey the authentic, actual appearance of a film (completely post-produced in an analog way), and not a naturally pale, flat, low-contrast negative scan that is milky with black-and-white films and gray-greenish-yellow with color films, which is then maltreated at random with software shittery?Doesn't anyone wonder anymore why many DVDs still showed rich colors and blue skies during the day or real black in night scenes, while the Blu-rays of the same films show pale blue skies during the day and gray milk at night? Why so many French and Italian films in HD seem to consist only of gray, green, black and gray-blue, with some unhealthily cold-looking piggy-pink human skin in between, instead of the warm ochre and brown tones and all the red and yellow nuances in between that the old color processes once gave this skin? Why you could still see it on TV, on video and often on DVD, and why you can sometimes still see it in theaters today, but no longer on Blu-rays? Why should it be more important to choose a form of presentation that is so alien to the nature of the medium for a touch more (unauthentic, mind you) sharpness, even though some of the cameramen who are still alive confirm that the look of a positive produced using the Technicolor matrix printing process simply cannot be reproduced digitally on a negative raw scan?In pre-digital times, you HAD to take a positive from a negative in order to obtain the actual film image with its colors, contrasts and light accents, because the negative didn't have all that, it was the "blank", where each individual shot was then photochemically “graded” separately in the course of this first copying, and the result of this work must always have the highest priority if you want to reproduce the original look as much as possible.
>>205682373And only in this step, the film grain, the entire texture of the image reaches its natural completion; a negative scan will always depict a somewhat smoother, less plastic texture (which often creates more spatial depth in the positive and makes details that have been decidedly emphasized by the staging and lighting visible in the first place), which is also a central point. Negative and positive do not bear their names for nothing. The films were always shot with the result in mind which could only be achieved by copying.So we are now using a new way of visualizing the negative that did not exist when these films were made and therefore could not have been considered in their creation process (ergo also not the digital manipulation potential, alas!). We don't restore, we remix with the loose components, the beats and the instrumental tracks, but it really is like having someone else re-record the vocals. We're so gullible to think that 80-year-old cinematographers and directors have their 50-year-old memories together well enough to do the right thing with their material and not succumb to the temptation to play around with the new fancy tools instead – which they can do if they really want to, but without taking the movie out of circulation as it had always looked in the previous 50 years of its existence in the process! I would always place more trust in the documents of the laboratory (if still preserved, sigh) or a color-accurate positive than in an old cameraman or director (or even their heirs, which is also often the case, shudder). And since very few people have a direct comparison and know enough about these aspects, I fear that this fatal development can no longer be stopped.
>>205682418It's a turning point in the way we deal with film history, the likes of which, in my opinion, there have only been a few comparably serious ones so far (similarly egregious perhaps the various nitrate destructions of state archives in recent decades), and it breaks my heart, really, sincerely, honestly, again and again. “Restored from the original camera negative” is a huge, devastating mistake.
