Do any of you have access to the libraries at Stanford? They have a VHS copy of a film that I can't find anywhere else but they won't interlibrary loan it out.

Tokyo Story 1972 edition
The Scarlet Empress kind of sucked to be honest. Only thing I particularly liked was the creepy orthodox art.

>>217940705The black and white version was so pointless and unnecessary.
>>217940821Thoughts on her naked stills?

>>217940782A b&w version exists? Cringe.
>>217940867City Girl it is - thanks.
>>217940885Yes. After it became a huge hit, they released a B&W version. I guess to cash in even more.
Thinking about piano fingers
Just saw this and now I am wanting to watch more films with incredible costume and set design. I don't even care if the rest is dogshit as long as the clothes and props look great.
Did anyone get around to watching Love and Duty? I want a full briefing to avoid getting too optimistic.

>>217941333What have you been watching lately?
rolling for a movie to watch, 0 is viewer's choice.
>>217935204Sam Fuller made this movie, faggot.
It would be nice to be Jane. A friend calls me Jane and I feel happy when referred to as such. IWNBAW but it's a drawback worth having because I don't have to interact with men as a woman. I love women. I love Jane Birkin. A bad day, taking a siesta now.

Going to watch Breathless at the cinema tomorrow, then straight after going to watch Nouvelle Vague. Also, they're showing Jaws in the evening which i'll also go to as i've actually never seen before (even though i've seen Breathless 3 times and Nouvelle Vague once already)Never seen three films in a day before but i'm unemployed and I get discount tickets so fuck it.
>>217941405you are not homosexual, you don't want to be jane birkin, you want to have sex with jane birkinif you were homosexual you'd want to be marilyn monroe or 80s madonna
>>217941503Your taste is even worse than his
>>217941393That's the joke>>217941460Kino. Have you watched Dovzhenko's Earth?
>>217941555Never heard of it. I suppose you suggest watching it in the near future?
>>217941503Jane is not someone I want to have sex with. There is no lust involved in my love for Jane. I revere her too much to think of such things.
>>217941650It used to be in the top 10 of those big wig lists like the BFI, hailed as 'one of the most beautiful films ever'... and you know what? Almost 100 years have passed since, and it's still one of the most beautiful films ever. I also recommend Arsenal by the same director.

>>217942306Maybe you're having a poor taste of humor today. 'Namsayin.
The german poster of House of Bamboo dubbing it as 'Tokio Story', echoing the title of Ozu's masterpiece, is perhaps the peak of any kind of /film/ humor you'll see today; and this is the hill I'm willing to die on (today).

Only God Forgives was great. Confused why this movie got ragged so hard. The thai cop is an excellent character. Suspect some of the hate this movie got was because it dared to have an old brown guy mog Ryan Gosling. Only silliness was the overuse of long pauses during dialogue which seemed like Refn doing a poor Lynch impersonation.
>>217944240I suspect people think it's too on the nose, but don't dare come out and say it. I'm with you though it is good. Probably the only gosling movie I like.

>Emerald Fennell continues her soft-core feminism.>Lewd-looking Margot Robbie spoils the joke in Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights. As the heroine from Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel, 36-year-old Robbie plays the landowner’s maidenly daughter, Catherine Earnshaw. Merle Oberon was 28 when she played the role in William Wyler’s 1939 version, but Robbie seems to have already traveled far beyond the moors; her appearance of experienced sex-pot aggression obliterates Brontë’s notion of innocent passion.>Robbie embodies Fennell’s idea of Cathy as a liberated feminist. (She “walks in her power,” as a man-hungry divorcée was described in the TV soap opera Beyond the Gates.) And Elordi essentially repeats another heartthrob role, just as in Fennell’s noxious Saltburn, complete with a sadomasochist striptease that features the welts across his back, in one of the overheated “erotic” love scenes.>Fennell’s filmmaking seeks to be controversial, taking an outré approach that limits characters to sexual identity. This vulgarizes the romanticism that made the title Wuthering Heights synonymous with emotional intensity. >But this isn’t a movie about the supernatural or doomed romance; it is itself an example of our doomed, hypersexualized cultural perversions — in period drag. >Fennell capitalizes on feminist cynicism but possesses a sham sensibility, borrowing art-movie effects from Liliana Cavani’s The Night Porter, Catherine Breillat’s Bluebeard, and Derek Jarman’s The Last of England, mixing styles so erratically that the result suggests soft-core Baz Luhrmann smut. Fennell’s fetishes ignore that Brontë’s vision was provocative enough to inspire Kate Bush’s neo-romanticism, Camille Paglia’s androgyne thesis in Sexual Personae, Morrissey’s “Heaven doesn’t seem to be my home” lyric, and the Twilight vampire series.

in my continued pursuit of >deepcuts so i can talk about films that no one has ever heard of to people who dont even know who stanley kubrik isi watched viva la muerte last night. right off ill say this is one that will polarize. highly experimental style with very interesting use of the thought patterns of a young kid experiencing true horror first hand. its very surreal (think jodorowsky) but i enjoyed it immensely

>>217952539>>217954968This year's Berlinale is clearly a blatant failure just from a single look at the lineup. Honestly it's such a shitty lineup they might as well close down the festival forever, it's humiliating. IFFR was a bore with no cinema futuro this year. Sundance flopped. Berlinale flopped. 2026 is going to be the worst year in history for cinema. It's over.

>>217957545>cary grant was the first choice for this>what the actual FUCKHe and Audrey had great chemistry tho'.
>>217957565yeah but he was brown and ugly like a dried fruit peel by mid 50s. I hated seeing his ugly old shirtless body with grace kelly in to catch a thief
>>217957545>colorized
>>217957434i liked the previous one more or less, it's basically modern Donny Darko, in a sense that it's a movie not as much about the obvious themes it presents but more about itself, as a representation of a certain type of juvenile thinking and aesthetic interesti didn't mind World's Fair either, the digital visuals are neat, but there is way too much awkwardness to it, in I Saw the TV Glow that is mostly relegated to the main character's performance, and it makes sense if you actually seen that type of autist IRL, but in World's Fair it pierces the whole movie, also doesn't help that i have zero fucking clue what is the movie about, i can't come up even with slightest of interpretation, internet grooming maybe, but if anything the teenage girl was the one grooming an old autist man into some weird ARG, which is the opposite of what usually people talk about when mentioning grooming

>>217957617Nah.
>>217957918What's wrong with it?I guess they got two Ira Sachs movies in there for some reason. Not sure why they're releasing Peter Hujar's Day, it didn't get raves and Sentimental Vue is already the obligatory recently released movie. I will say, I am actually looking forward to watching Peter Hujar's Day cause Ira Sach's is in fact at his best in small dialogue oriented hangout movies, and I like that's it's very short, like 78 minutes. I enjoy these kind of compact movies.

>>217958286post the guy she's fucking in the film and I'll judge
How important do you think actors are to a good film?In fact if we were to breakdown film into: acting, cinematography and writing what would you say are the most important aspects?I always used to think >writing (45%)>cinematography (35%)>Acting (20%)But now i'm realising that actually acting might be the most important thing
>>217958364it depends. if we're dealing with a romance movie like the one you posted then the chemistry between the leads is insanely important
>>217958364I wish she hadn't smoked.

>>217958742Let's see you make something as good as Buffalo 66 and then try to tell me that I've lost something. Idiot.
>>217958364The most important thing is the mise-en-scène, or staging for the lack of a better word. Actors... they are props, they are clay.
