>>219057099>It's not a real movie fwiw, it's propagandaI know, it was "produced" by Kim Il Sung.I actually just found a copy on archive.org, I'm assuming the anon searching for said film is looking for it in better quality than VHS?https://archive.org/details/salt-1985
>>219057357>Addeddate 2026-01-05 19:54:21I've been looking for years. Only copy that I know exists is at some Stanford library.
>>219057487I remember you mentioning that. Perhaps it's the same copy.
Technicolorbro, I will make sure to bake the next edish myself. /classic/ patriots are in control
HJ: I saw the film version of the The Dresser last night. At one point, Wolfit or Sir, says, “Lear is the greatest tragic part of all time.”OW: Of course. The Dresser is a parody of Lear. The dresser is the fool—HJ: Oh, my God. You know, I never even got that. I feel stupid.OW: It’s a little clumsy, but that’s what it is. The writer, Harwood, is trying to say a lot more than he needed to say to make a very good vehicle play. You mustn’t look too closely at it. But that’s what it is.HJ: Albert Finney is magnificent.OW: Stick a dagger in me! I tried so hard to get the rights to that play. You’ve ruined my lunch.

>>219057266>Bonuser>Most tragic film actor?Clara Bow perhaps. She might be the most naturally gifted screen performer of all time but they had no clue how to use her and just wasted her on crap.
>>219057813HJ: Did the French know about Kane?OW: [..]The first thing they heard about it was the violent attack by Jean-Paul Sartre. Wrote a long piece, forty thousand words on it or something.HJ: Well, maybe it politically offended him in some way.OW: No. I think it was because, basically, Kane is a comedy.HJ: It is?OW: Sure. In the classic sense of the word. Not a fall-in-the-aisles laughing comedy, but because the tragic trappings are parodied.HJ: I never thought of Kane as a comedy. It’s profoundly moving.OW: It’s moving, but so can comedies be moving. There is a slight camp to all the great Xanadu business. And Sartre, who has no sense of humor, couldn’t react to it at all.

>>219061867>disrespectIt's tough love. She had a need for feed.
Dying young and consumptive gives you aura.
>>219061872>Twilight Zone (1983)Very true. John Landis is honestly even worse than Roman Polanski. A worse person and a far worse director. He even directed Animal House.
>>219062019It all depends on the momentum the person had built in life. An early death can also take aura, take the soul and reshape it after aeons in hell, for utilization in material form, like a stone. The consciousness is gone forever in those cases.

I'm watching La femme Nikita / Run Lola Run double feature today, how cooked am I?
>m-my only hobby is w-watching m-movies from k-korea
>>219062455Shut up catfag.
I just watched Minari (2020). Beautiful movie. Not that it matters, I'm waffling over whether to give it a 9/10 or 10/10. There really are no flaws and the scale is not wide, but runs miles deep.Have any other anons seen it? Were you similarly moved? The grandma in particular was such a bright light, but everyone played their roles very well. I'm extremely satisfied with the ending, too, which is always tough to stick.
>>219062792;)
>>219062622nice choices, cool double feature

Jane Birkin feet...
>>219063005His name is Jean-Pierre.>>219062793Lovely film. 2020 is underappreciated by this general.
>>219063052Melville?
His name is Robert Paulson.
>>219063005you will pay for this
>>219063005>Jane Birkin feetBig, beautiful and fragrant.
>>219063122Meowville.
>>219063052I'm glad you also loved it, anon. I logged it as a 10/10. It deserves it. I'm really glad it leaned into faith as well. The scenes where the farmhand trudges along the road were particularly powerful, as was the water diviner (which also showed that the family stayed together, thankfully).I hope you have a great Saturday and find more meaningful things to watch.
>>219062793>>219063232not watching your korean slop
>>219063276It's pure Americana, anon. That said, you should watch what interests you. There's no shortage of fine films for your viewing pleasure.
>mfw i literally and unironically watch arthouse and classics
>>219063005I'm glad to see you've changed your sour attitude, catchad
>>219063052My favorite movie from this decade is picrel. Just a fantastic film all-around, they just don't make sci-fi like this anymore anywhere.>>219062196The part that's going to make you laugh is I think overall that John Landis has more good movies under his belt than Polanski.
>>219063449Such a shame you didn't have the time to change, Birkinbro! Wanting to be the main character all of the time must be really exhausting.
Who had the best performance in Double Indemnity? I honestly can't say. I really loved Robinson, though. What a pal. That scene where he rattles off actuarial data was impressive.
>>219063545>wanting to be the main characterI already am the main character cabron
>>219063651In a film called Desvanecimiento, right?
>>219063574Robinson and Stanwyck actmogged Walter MacMurray in this one.
>>219064253Stanwyck was so cute in this one. Also psychotic and deranged, of course, but definitely cute. Funny thing is Wilder considers her cheap wig the most regretful decision he made in production lol
>>219063539I've been meaning to watch this because Dasha is in it.
The Way of the Wind release date announcement is next week.
>>219064910it's a prequel to avatar: the way of water
>>219065105 There are corpses that are funnier than you.
I saw a cut of Leila Marrakchi's film. Classic Cannes bait: One-note 'heavy social issue' drama of North African women in Europe. Lots of yelling, tears. Acting was ok. Not enough nuance. I don't really get it. There's been a million festival versions of this exact same film. One in Cannes competition/UCR every single year, in fact, usually by a female director with a French passport.
>>219065424Name three films with those exact themes
>>219064910Bro you should be telling this stuff to worldofreel, not to /film/

>>219066740What did you buy, catfag?
I was talking to my friend about arthouse and I said to him "The Smurfs are /film/, Jaakko". He wanted me to watch Life of Brian as a thinking exercise on cinema.
>>219067026Life of Brian looks like a Pasolini film aesthetically
>>219067017some stuff ive seen some i havent. i wont list out everything ive bought but im most excited for the mother and the whore in 4k and black god white devil
>>219067133Kek, it kind of does.
>>219067198>the mother and the whoreI have to watch that, i like everything else from Eustache i've seen.
>>219067198>The Mother and the WhoreThat's what I call a bang for your buck!
>>219067340its quite good would definitely recommend.

Hopefully it's not more Euroid nonsense like Hovering Over the Water. Found it via a reference in a kdrama so there's hope.
