>>214991562>Why has this general died a terrible death?Combination of the incredibly slow pace of necro/film/ and the crippling blow of the "/film/" name getting any new bake autosaged (at least for a good while).
>>214991656We missed the one year anniversary of The Great Waifu War. No more brother wars.
>>214991562there's already a classics thread up. please designate this as /fart/ or something.
>>214992160Fuck off and kill yourself, Dingo.

>>214991562Coppola is really entering his Resnais years isn´t he?
>QOTDBecause a lil bitch janny has gone on an omnicidal rage over his post getting mocked.
>>214992388That lil bitch is Dallepsycho
>>214992452Obviously. The UN will put an end to his chicanery soon.
Why did this thread get nuked? >>214966555 I don't get it
>>214992690Unironically: he saw poster's IDs and instanuked the thread when he recognized some OGs posting.
>>214991732Actually it's because it's 80% waifu faggots and format posts like >>214991656
>>214992751I wish they kept the IP counter. A fifth of posts on that thread were mine, trying to keep the thread alive. A rather pointless endeavor, in the end.
>>214992801This, plus having the janny fag among us 24/7 and conspiring to shape the general to his liking.
>>214992801That doesn't explain the year or so of the general being more active than it ever was before waifuposting.
>>214992856But it does, though? This general's downfall started when avatarfagging went uncontrolled lol

>>214995393Again proving yourself to be an idiot lol
>>214995438I meant samefagging as in "using your fellow waifufags to give the illusion of many people posting". We all know it's just 3 or 4 of you discordfags permabumping your threads and posts. It's pathetic actually; you demand "post his meme! That'll show him..." and the 16 year old autistic child does your will just to please you. Gay ahh behavior.

The Night of the Iguana [1964] by John Huston trash
>>214996455Sue Lyon's last relevant role
>>214996455i watched treasure of the sierra madre yesterday. what an overrated piece of shit outside of bogey's performance, which was transformative.
>>214996455Give me 3 palatable flicks now. Enough trash for my tastebuds.>>214996527It's good (still overrated as shit)
>>214996835Palatable.
>>214996794it's carried entirely by bogeypony expresssudanthe bitter tea of general yenone from the 50s, then the 40s then the 30s.
>>214996982I dunno; I think it's a palatable 8/10 flick, but people overhype it as being a 10/10 top 50 joint. Just american delusions of grandeur, I guess.
>>214996835La Chinoise was ahead of its time
Was it Godards most honest film?
>>214997339Oh yeah, that scene where the commie leader roasts Wiazemky's TikTok dance while on the train is a classic.
>>214997417Lacked guns, so no.
>>214997429lol I just mean in the sense of Western Europeans becoming Chinaboos in droves. Btw this girl in picrel kinda looks like WiazmaskyThe more things change the more they stay the same
>>214997339>Two caked up asian girls dancing>Admission notes for africans to study in chinaYou're more decerebrated than I thought. 1/10 racebait.
what are some schoolplay-core kinos?
>>214997530Only chinaboo I know of is my mom, and she's also a russiaboo.>>214997857lil bro a metalhead.Sound of Metal
>>214996835Didn't Godard himself said that this film sucked later on? Or am I thinking of a different work of his?I don't think much of it, but the MAO MAO song is pretty catchy, and the cast is easy on the eyes.
>>214997985Your mom sounds based
>>214998126Nah man.She's better now, but she used to be all radical anti USA, anti Europe, pro China, pro Russia, pro commie countries. At the same time, she is (lightly) anti LGBT, (heavily) anti guns and (heavily) anti military. I often felt like I was talking to a bizarro 4channeler when speaking to her.
Are you ready for his next film and what are you hoping for? The title is Marcus and Grandrieux wrote the screenplay together with Jonathan Littel (The Kindly Ones), meaning it's probably gonna be pretty depraved
>>214998080>Didn't Godard himself said that this film sucked later on? Or am I thinking of a different work of his?He didn't think very highly of Bande A Part. Not sure about La Chinoise.
>>214991562>Why has this general died a terrible death?Nobody here actually talks about movies, thus it's off-putting to those here that actually interested in /film/.Anyway, I'm going to see picrel tonight. I'm really excited given I've never seen it on the big screen and it's a 4k remaster. It's going to be great.
>>214997530>Western Europeans becoming Chinaboos in droves.I mean, it was inevitable given how dysfunctional and mentally ill the U.S has become over the past few decades. They might as well give the Chinks a chance because it can't be much worse.>>214997985>she's also a russiabooAre you in Czechia perchance? My Dad is a hug Russiaboo and he's American.
>>214999806The oldheads actually talk about films; as you can see, it's only a few people that only come to the threads to be annoying, but they leave when confronted.Enjoy the film; it's one of the top 5 /a/ /film/s, for sure.
>>214999806>>214999882Anime is aesthetically speaking too kitschy to be considered art
>>214999882>Enjoy the film; it's one of the top 5 /a/ /film/s, for sure.Yeah I love it, just never seen it in theaters. It's one of those seminal films from the last 30 years whose influence has really just seeped into filmmaking of all kinds and places.>>214995554>What are some good films for when you are on your deathbed and have moved past arthouse and classicsI've already decided The Wind Rises is the last movie I'm going to watch before I die.>>214993103>should I do it, /film/anonsno>>214992824>I wish they kept the IP counterThey should do that and add IDs. It'd make this place so much better.
>>214999869No man, I'm in the US, but my family is latino.You see, a lot of oldhead latinos grew up in a cold war context where they identified with the russian side due to feeling oppressed by the US government, and so they became left leaning in an economical, sometimes social way, but with the difference being that the left (in LATAM) used to be more about workers' rights and class conscience instead of idpol. I think the anti US sentiment is not good though, and so I distanced myself from that because it was too radical for me.
>>214999923>too kitschy to be considered artNow yes for the overwhelming part, 30-40 years ago not at all. Anime in the 80s and 90s was a genuine /film/ movement worthy of respect the way new wave or neorealism were.Like all things in Japan it came crashing down with the Lost Decades.
>>214999923Imma marathon Boogiepop either way, dude.
>>215000046>my family is latinoAh that makes a lot of sense, there's a lot of tankies South of the border and there were a lot of Brown Beret and Young Lords types amongst boomers here.My Dad is a tankie because of the fact that he came from a family that got fucked over hard by neoliberal economics (he grew up in a Union household in Arizona in the 80s and 90s) as well as the fact that he has an anti-American bent because he's a Dixiefag. As a result he likes Russia now because he sees them as the boogeyman of the neoliberal world order.
>>215000056There are still some good newgen /a/ coming out sometimes, but I think the movement went to shit around 2012. Kaiji, Tatami Galaxy, K-On!, Prison School, Rainbow, etc., were like the last anime I watched that made me feel something; after that, it's all been a blur. I've noticed people overrating mid shit more and more often (One Punch Man, Frieren, Re:Zero, etc.).
speedy gonzales ahh thread
>>215000173My mom and your dad would probably like each other a lot, because the working class struggle is the great equalizer, or so I feel. It goes beyond ethnicity, age, sex and all of that shit.>RussiaYeah, my mom hates the US head of state but, -me personally-, I feel like Russia and China are dictatorships, so I can't say I fully agree with them either. I'm more of a class conscience guy myself, so authoritarianism is a no no. Like, Putin has been in power for like 25 years straight, man; that shit is not democracy.
>>215000245TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOWN
"I've met a lot of people in my life, and the fact is I've hardly ever met anybody - or I could even say I've met absolutely nobody - who was born in a big city and who impressed me; the remarkable people who have crossed my path come from areas which aren't the big city; and it is due to this experience of mine and to my intuition, that I am convinced that all the really strong, resilient people never come from an urban environment or from a big city, where it is much harder to develop a certain firmness of purpose, a certain strenght, for the reasons I have just explained.A city imposes a kind of preciseness, without which it wouldn't function. The same example has been given many times; if the clocks were to remain unsynchronized for just one hour, the resulting chaos would last for days... In a village that doesn't happen, you are not under that influence, under the imperative of a life of schematic precision, if I can put it like that. The value of life is to be found precisely - so I think and so everyone who influenced me and who I knew in Banyoles taught me - in singularity, in peculiarity, which are completely alien to any form of plan, and which avoid any kind of uniformity."(1/2)
>>215001001"...This, as was inevitable, naturally led all those philosophers to hate big cities and everything they give rise to. This punctilious life, this ordered life, has a god - the god of the monetary economy, which is what regulates the whole thing, and which takes precedence over emotional relationships. And there's also another side of the coin: this god tends to intellectualise existence, and therefore loathes instictive impulses.These three elements - the monetary economy, the city in itself as a space full of stimuli, and intellectualism - are used in order to transform and to try and diminish the life force. But of course these three elements face a clear contradiction when they come up against the disturbance represented by local festes (celebrations): that playfulness which I mentioned at the beginning. This playfulness is pure expenditure, as George Bataille would've put it, which does not generate any profit; it is the accursed share which is close to being sacred and is not managed by any form of control; on the contrary, it is based on instinct, on a natural fraternity, on impulse, on a desire to satisfy oneself and have a good time which, as you know, is the joy so typical of festes and is the reason why they are celebrated; and which is also why, in order to prevent them from becoming totally uncontrollable, villages limit them to certain designated days and don't let them go on all year long."(2/2)
>Bataille mentionedBased
>>215000386>It goes beyond ethnicity, age, sex and all of that shit.Absolutely. Despite being very chuddy (he was a skinhead back in the day due to gang violence being rampant in the extremely shitty part of West Phoenix he grew up in) he's very much a class-oriented guy overall. He's not anywhere near as racist as he was and I credit my Mom for that (she was an og riot grrrl back in the day). They both sort of just cancelled each other out and brought the best in each other. If I ever for whatever reason manage to become a filmmaker I intend on making a movie about them, because their story is wild.Funny enough, despite that he's always had a thing for Mexicans and even told me he had a close friendship and fling with a Lao girl who was in a local rival gang called L-AK (Lao Aryan Killers). So really, it was mostly just a circumstancial, tribalistic larp. I 100% got built-in biases for Latinas and Asians from his side lol.>I feel like Russia and China are dictatorships, so I can't say I fully agree with them eitherI don't like Russia or China at all, but the scary question becomes then if liberal democracy inevitably goes to shit everywhere it's tried, what happens next and where do we go from here? I for one am a big fan of Singapore's model, but that clearly can't work for a country like the U.S. We'll just have to see, and I plan on being part of that solution as I go into polisci.>>215000208>I've noticed people overrating mid shit more and more oftenThat's because movies and shows have gotten so awful in the West that Jap equivalents of capeshit and franchise crap seem a million times better in comparison. I for one think the very early 00s were where it went to shit, but everyone has their povs on it.
My next French watch is going to be picrel. I'll probably see it tomorrow night.
>>215001378>she was an og riot grrrlThat's sick! So she was into the scene with L7, Sleater-Kinney and stuff like that? I love those bands. And yeah, latinas are the shit haha.>if liberal democracy goes to shit...Anything's better than authoritarianism.>Les diaboliquesSick flick; I need to check more Clouzot. I got Wages of Fear and Woman in Chains in my HDD right now.
>>215001775>she was into the scene with L7, Sleater-Kinney and stuff like thatYup, she worked at a record store up until about I was born and still fondly remembers the music and the scene; Portlandia was a staple of my household growing up for that reason. Really I had quite a countercultural upbringing given I was raised by a reformed gangster and a punk girl, both of whom came from poor and working class backgrounds.>Anything's better than authoritarianismFair.>I need to check more Clouzot.I'm the same way. I've watched most of the vital Godard and Truffaut along with a bunch of others from that crowd, I just always procrastinated when it came to Clouzot despite him being an earlier pioneer.
Why don't we see more masterpieces now that anyone can shoot a movie with his friends and a 300 dollars camera?
>>215002562>anyone can shoot a movie with his friends and a 300 dollars cameraBecause nothing without connections gets distributed and there's no way to make as much of a profit on it the way you could in the 90s or 00s with home video sales.
>>215002430That's a cool story, man; you better make that movie because it seems like it would be the good version of Ferrara's China Girl. I'm die hard for Ferrara, but man did that movie suck lol>>215002562Creativity often emerges in the most restrictive environments. No pressure = no progress.
NUCLEAR WARHEADS READY TO STRIKE
>>215002562 #Because the home cinema is about the capturing of moments that are real and true with the people you love And not about cranking out vanity projects for a festival circuit
THE FINAL SWING IS NOT A DRILLIT'S HOW MANY PEOPLE I CAN KILL!
>>215002699>you better make that movie because it seems like it would be the good version of Ferrara's China GirlMy Dad's been working on a semi-autobiographical book for about a decade or so, very much a Brian Griffin type thing. On the off-chance I become a successful filmmaker I'll adapt it.
>>215002562Perhaps the barrier of entry has become so low that while most people have a simplified camera, the amount of great filmmakers hasn't increased dramatically because of the lack of specialization.Probably a similar thing when it comes to reduction of technological literacy despite most people having access to the internet. It's so common that skills become diluted among the torrent of the unskilled.
>>215004820>Raping RodneyTo think that image came from me bringing up Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School...
>>214991562Stop changing the name to get around my filters
Brothas?
>>214856574retard
>>215006528What would you change, smart boy?
>>215006548Rush is overrated, Gong is definitely not overrated, and Soft Machine is one of the GOATs, for a start.
>>214856574I agree on Opeth being boring as shit, but I think Robert Wyatt is a bit of an unsung genius. Not so much for his work with Soft Machine though, mainly for his solo records.What do you think of Magma? They're one of my favorite bands, but I don't think of them purely as prog per se. More prog-adjacent.
>>215006618By the way, post-Wyatt SM isn't even 'prog' by any standards. It is debatable whether they were ever truly 'prog', as the Wyatt-era Softs were mostly a psych band with Zappa influences.
>>215006608>RushGOAT tier>GongSlightly overrated; their space shite is way better than their LSD gnome shite, but they are a decent band overall.>Soft MachineThird is ass; the mixing is unbearable (I got the original vinyl LP and have listened to the album on various releases). Can't even make the guitars in that LP, and the fucking guitar solo is like literally 15 minutes long. Lmao.>>215006618Opeth is boring as hell. Wyatt is great outside of Soft Machine. Magma is good; not my favorite band, but I can listen to any of their records without any problem. Their live albums are pretty sick and I think I would have enjoyed tripping on acid on a concert of theirs.
>>215006769>and the fucking guitar solo is like literally 15 minutes longWhat the fuck are you talking about, you retard. Please send your original LP to my address at this instant.
>>215006724Honestly, it's strange to say this since they're the de facto flagship of the genre, but a band like King Crimson doesn't even register as prog to me, for the most part. They have the goofy time signature changes, but the song structures are much more condensed and there's a far greater propensity towards improvisation (as opposed to bands like Yes, Genesis, ELP, that are all extremely composed and deliberate in their arrangements).
>>215006837>Yes, Genesis, ELP, that are all extremely composed and deliberate in their arrangementsFor me, that's what 'prog' really is, if it means anything at all. Other bands were just lumped in the label.
I hope to have the Mishima translation on Soulseek next week. Been fine-tuning the subtitle timings, it's a brutal slog.
>>215006815Nigga, you supposedly listened to Third and you didn't notice the massively long guitar solo in the song? What the fuck? kek>>215006837KC are pretty much the only prog band worth a damn. Nothing else compares.They also get street cred for becoming AND influencing new wave and punk music, including post-hardcore. Some of that shit in Red is straight up NoMeansNo / Black Flag material.
Gentle Giant is comfy but overshadowed by the prog giants
>Friedkin was wry about his mishaps and mistakes. Remembering how he had tossed a Basquiat drawing in the trash and turned down the chance to direct a video for Prince, he noted: “I’ve burned bridges and relationships to the point that I consider myself lucky to still be around. I never played by the rules, often to my own detriment. I’ve been rude, exercised bad judgment, squandered most of the gifts God gave me, and treated the love and friendship of others as I did Basquiat’s art and Prince’s music. When you are immune to the feelings of others, can you be a good father, a good husband, a good friend? Do I have regrets? You bet.”
>>215007222Of course.Underrated take: The Police and Chicago mog prog while having prog levels of complexity in their songwriting.
Finna marathon this Dustin Hoffman classic.
>>215007389Steely Dan in turn mog those two while also being significantly more refined on a musical level
>>215007770And yet Steely Dan get mogged by Fleetwood Mac, who are significantly more catchy on a earworm level
>>214991562>haven’t been on /film/ in atleast half a year, let’s see what’s happening>”Shoutout Spikeanon, shoutout Gadonjeet, shout out CRA and shoutout Lil Hitler”Un fucking believable. Guess I’ll take another 6 months off…>>214992202>OGs of /film/In your fucking dreams.

Meh ahh film.
Bresson's advice to young filmmakers >I'll finish with a great phrase from Stendhal: "It is the other arts which taught me the art of writing."Cinephiles can learn from this. They should learn from painting, literature, music, poetry, etc. Not learn by just watching millions of movies
>>214991562Yeah, he's old, he knows he's dying and he knows he can spend the rest of his money to do what the ever fuck he wants. He's doing what Geroge Lucas dreamt of doing older when he still had some drive to do movies.

>>214991562>Coppola unstoppable edition.Coppola's new italian project is Distant Vision, he already shot various versions of it 10 years ago at a community college in Oklahomahttps://vimeo.com/130273727
>>215012614>in Oklahomathat college probably has been swept by a tornado by now, and in it's place a Saint Kirk statute was put up
>>214999092No one is interested? No wonder you guys think anime is good. You all have terrible taste
>>215013102is it in production already?Despite The Night felt a bit too more of the same, i hope he explores new things
>>215013139On Wikipedia it says 2025, but i am not sure. He is working with Jonathan Littel for the script and the title is Marcus. I think it is a lot different this time. I have read a lot of interviews and his taste is quite varied in all sorts of art.
>>214999092I broadly think he (Grandrieux) is a hack, barely on the level of the Tarkovsky, but The Kindly Ones is one of the novels of the century so...
>>215012614>my Live Cinema is nothing more than pre-visualization made animate. Between the previz phase and the performance phase there are weeks of rehearsal and shot layout with relevant camera angles—and then (magari!) the film is performed. But it’s not unlike Independent Frame in that the shots exist and the actors walk through them during the performance of the play.> the futuristic LIVE CINEMA process [..] differs from LIVE TELEVISION of the past & even the present: It is what I had termed “PRE-VISUALIZATION” 30 years ago, but where the Pre-visualization is also the final performance, the key difference being that it is performed in real time and with SHOTS that are actual cinema shots and not formalistic “COVERAGE,” i.e., Establishing, Over-Shoulders, Close Ups, etc., and with lighting from the floor and not the overhead grid.Independent Frame refers to art director David Rawnsley's system back in the 1940s>>The principle was that by carefully storyboarding films and making extensive use of back projection, movies could be made on an assembly-line system with the minimum of outside location work and costly travel. An improved back projection technique was at the heart of it, but it was accompanied by other new techniques: sets that could be built on and moved around on wheeled hexagonal rostrums with lights and reflectors on rails that could be easily repositioned.https://www.redsharknews.com/virtual-production-was-happening-at-pinewood-75-years-agohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vN1C0Car6I
>>215013297>hackGrandrieux is one of the few original and innovative filmmakers of this century. He is a modern master in my opinion
>>215013326hmm, I've seen Sombre, A New Life and Liminal, and actively disliked all of them. i'd be willing to try him again though, flick me a rec
>>215013509Start with Un Lac, it's his most humanistic film. You should give Sombre and A New Life a second chance, just for the sheer originality. Why do you dislike him?
>>215012817>a Saint Kirk statute was put upIt wasn't strictly speaking "put up", they just remodelled an existing Saint Floyd statue like when they turned the Jimmy Carter statue into a Marge statue in that Simpsons episode.

I just saw a picture of a rather beautiful woman holding a DVD copy of an Alain Robbe-Grillet film. Scary.
>>215017308>Scary.How so?

This baby food is full of trascendence.
What am I in for?
Thanks to the anon who said to watch more filipino kinos (Mike de Leon, Lino Brocka). It's surprisingly good.
>>215001422i like that it does full justice to the book, the director's temperamental and moral afnity with the authors being continuously in evidence.
>>215018462Japanese people sitting around and talking for 2 hours.
Cassavetes is cool but if I hated him I'd call him Cacassavetes
>>215018923Not Assavetes?

>>215016296Take care of yourself
>>215018462a still relevant tale of increasing urbanization trumping familial traditions and community, leaving older generations behind.cynical in a refreshingly realistic, grounded and stoic way

One day son, all of /film/ will be yours.
So much for /film/ being dead.
We're all trying to jinx it here.
>>214991597*barf*
>>215018462>>215019222I just realize something, would anyone with boomer parents feel empathy after watching this film? This film would definitely go over someone's head if their parents treated them like shit.
>>214991597Too ahead of their time.
>>215018923For me it's Cassavavetes
>>215020385This is why I always praise Early Summer as the true masterpiece. Because that is the most universal of the Noriko trilogy. TS assumes you have nice Asian parents.
>>215020746What about Late Spring?

Asian women.
>>215020385>>215020746the film really isn't about nice parents but about what human decency looks like in a fully capitalist and alienated society. also, the Onomichi marriage of the old couple has tenderness, but Ozu does show its entrapment, self-delusion, and traditional gendered limitations. it's Noriko, not the parents, who embodies most clearly the film's positive values. she's not even related by blood, being the widowed dautgher yet she shows genuine warmth, humility, and empathy toward the parents. contrast those qualities with the busyness and self centeredness of the biological children. it actually affirms human compassion over familial duty. Early Summer is the most serene of the trilogy, but Tokyo Story is the most searching.
>>215021362Was Japan fully capitalistic back in the 20s?
>>215018462Japanese remake of Make Way for Tomorrow.
>>215021436well Tokyo Story takes place in the year 1953. it wasn't completely capitalist in the economic it sense, but it definitely became the dominant cultural logic that Ozu is depicting. i see it as he's tracing the dialects of duty and desire, tradition and change, illusion and awareness, etc but in different historical development stages throughout the trilogy, with Tokyo Story reemerging in a harsher social landscape than the first two films.
>>215021362Why is it that you use capital letters for "Onomichi", "Ozu", "Noriko", "Early Summer", and "Tokyo Story" but not for the words at the start of sentences?
>>215021627Make Way for Tomrrow is much more sentiment and less dialectical than Tokyo Story. that's why TS surpasses it, it has compassion without illusion.
>>215021727That's just how Marxoid l*tterboxd trannies write.
>>215021727for clarity. i like to write in lower case but people will occasionally misunderstand something if i don't capitalize nouns.
>>215021744Irrelevant even if true, windbag. He can expect what I said he can expect because that is what Tokyo Story is regardless of whether it's better or not.
>>215021806>i like to write in lower caseWhy? By your own admission, you have to go out of your way to use capital letters for clarity's sake anyway, so why not just write normally at the cost of a modicum of extra effort?
>>215021866>Why?See >>215021761 . Probably a hormone thing.
>>215021157I love late spring and it’s one of the best of all time. But Early Summer has the best score which does carry the film a bit further than LS for me
>>215021820just adding my thoughts on Carrey's film since this topics about films.>>215021866because i like the way it looks.
>>215021436>>215021678short answer: yeslong answer: despite being a consumerist hellhole where almost everything is commodified, Japan didnt have a truly capitalist economy until the 1980s bubble
>>215022018It's "McCarey". If you're going to type like a l*tterboxd tranny at least get the names of the people you're going to trash for not being dialectical enough correct.
>A Woman Under The Chinese Influence
>>214993103Tell him to be gentle.
>>215022184yeah whatever, i haven't seen his films in 20 years and don't really care for his melodrama slop
>>215021362Yes this is a description of Tokyo Story alright. DESU when it comes to Ozu plot and story of individual films don’t matter to me. I love the whole of Ozu. That said I prefer Early Summer for the score and mesmerizing use of camera movement. The deeper themes can be found in all of Ozu and yet he never truly says anything deep about his themes if you really think about. A lot of it is just surface, like Cassavetes. Ozu leaves things empty for us to fill, like the vase in LS.
>>215022127Ah, that's when based shity pop came to be. Arigato gozaimasuHARRO ERRYNYANFINE SANK YOUOH MAH GAH!!!!!!
>>215022184Go back to /class/, transphobe.
I like the part of 東京物語 (Hepburn: Tōkyō Monogatari) when she says "nihonjin desu ka".
>>215021872Way Down East is Griffiths masterpiece. It just too bad that all the remuxes of his films are trash because they’re in 24fps when they should all really be 16fps. Btw chicks from the 20s are super hot. They all have angular makeup that makes them look cartoonish but in a sexy way
>>215022458>mesmerizing use of camera movement.true. i love how Ozu varies considerability the precise function of camera movement from film to film. in TS, it's used simply as a marker, underlining a crucial moment in the narrative: two brief tracking shots (one lateral, one following) around its midpoint mark, the lowest ebb of the old couple's fortunes, when they become literally homeless, just before Tomi goes to Noriko's for the night and the film’s upward movement begins. in Early Summer, the camera is more fluied and "expressive" of possibility and negotiation, rather than merely marking a low point. it's tied to relational and social dynamics, rather than a crisis in the narrative like in TS.
>Big Chinese Trouble
>>215022677>>215022607>>215022502damn, this really IS the chinese century
>>215022737It really is
>>215022324Pissweak excuse. If you're going to butt in with your irrelevant dick measuring shit you can at least take a brief break from the strenuous life of shunning capital letters for a Google search.>>215022531Kill yourself.

>>215025244By far the shittiest new movie I saw this year. The ending's hilarious; dunno why you didn't post the part where he confronts the leftists, would have made a more memeable webm.

>>215026239Busted subs too.
why won't they give her more roles?
>>215025766Do you mean the scene where he argues with his daughters and leaves angrily? Other than the girls, i dont know what leftists you mean.
>>215026461Because she's a fake, busted bitch.
why was /film/ created in the first place
>>215013557thanks, I'll check it out 2nite xx. my current assessment is that his stylised approach tries and fails to mask fairly facile and callow material. i can excuse Sombre to an extent as a product of heady juvenilia maybe
I think this was the first /film/ thread >>128894333
>>215026239here you go. cant do anything for the subs, its the only one on file.
>the director barely disguised fetish
>>215026520The part where he confronts the dudes recording his car; I think they were leftists.
>>214991562Child raping wop. May him and Victor Salva burn in Hell.
so...that just happened
>>215028478Oliver Reed was so based
Thought this was going to be the first /film/ thread in ages to hit bump limit, but apparently not.
>>215029736Then spam; 123 Go!
>>214991562How the fuck he has money for his next film when the last one was an utter failure?
>>215031593It's an italian movie, with an italian size budget, so it will cost like one third or one fourth of an equivalent american movie.
>>215032502And with the tarrifs?
>>215032563you mean the local mafia payoffs?
>>215032591The 100% Trump tariffs if he wants to distribute the film in the US
Watch Man with a Moving Camera for its amazing fluidity.
>>215032619he said that several times but there's zero details on how that will be implemented, so who knows?besides, movies can be profitable without being distributed in the USA
What are some night time neon Asian kino?I only know of WKW

https://jonathanrosenbaum.net/2025/10/radu-judes-dracula/>I’m still a long way from seeing all the features to date of the prolific and often brilliant Romanian filmmaker Radu Jude, but what’s really exceptional about this one is it’s the very first I don’t much care for. At 170 minutes, it seems a good hour longer than it needs to be. Not so much an adaptation of the Bram Stoker novel or a commentary on its diverse movie versions (though it intermittently fluctuates between both and various self-referential conceits), it’s also a compendium of crude and adolescent sexual gags and diverse swipes at capitalism, but even a few striking visual effects and moments of more cultivated wit can’t compensate for all the dross and hammy overstatements. Jude’s Kontinental 25, playing at the same Chicago festival, is every bit as repetitious but much more substantial and interesting. (Jonathan Rosenbaum)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed8LSpPhBAg
Nice. Another 48+hr thread.
i watched the underworld movies up to the awakening 2013, and i have lot of comments to make on it. however, it is my opinion that the reception of my thoughts would be met with ridicule and perhaps even an advocacy of the promotion for the things present in the films that i take issue with, espeically in regard to the 2013 entry. thus, the intention behind this submission is to leave for the sake posterity a brief mention of the title underworld within the dying general of film.

>>215036748should've watched this instead
>>215036748I have only seen the first Underworld film, and I have a very simple take on it: it's dire YA slop of the worst, least-fun kind, but Kate Beckinsale looks as good as any woman in cinematic history in it.
We're all looking good here.
