Haven't listened to that many actually now that i think about it, but The Brown Bunny one is pretty good, Vince is so bitter.
>>220836252Ferrara is based I watched that too >lmao that looks like fucking shit why would we even do that
>>220836252All of his commentaries are hysterical. I'm pretty sure he throws a tantrum about how they changed the way The Driller Killer ends for the DVD release even though it's literally the same ending scene kek.
>>220836405>>220836455What's going on here.
>>220836502I changed the sentence syntax is all. It flows better now.
>>220836502I accidentally said blu-ray instead of DVD so I rewrote the post. By the time blu-rays were in circulations, he had already kicked his habit, and he was obviously fucked up on smack while recording most of his commentary tracks.>>220836583Skinwalker...

>>220837942I refuse to read Heidegger on the same principle that I refuse to ever watch a single, solitary K*rean film.
>>220838020>on the same principleDid you get into a fight with Byung-Chul Han? He's arguably the most famous fanboy of Heidegger (even modelling his writing style after him) and he's Korean.
>>220838020Sounds like a good principle.
>>220838063>>220838744Just dont like 'em is all, 'imple as. I almost got meme'd into watching Resurrection until I learned it has an ebin ostentatious 30 minute floaty gimble oner which is truly the most detestable habit in cinema (after homage). A shame that a rare modern use of bold contrast-y lighting was wasted on such infantile masturbation.
>>220839140>Just dont like 'em is all, 'imple as.You will know them by their fruits.
Someone posted a collage of scenes from a Spanish film (Argentina I think), it was 1990s or 80s. Great cinematography, lots of blues. It had a long name like “The captain and the Sea” or something like that. Does this ring a bell with anyone , what it might be?

>>220847436No Other Choice was trash.
>As Mizoguchi’s great cinematographer, Kazuo Miyagawa, stated in a 1992 interview, they used a crane 70 percent of the time in filming Ugetsu. The camera, almost constantly moving—not only laterally but vertically—conveys the instability of a world where ghosts come and go, life and death flow simultaneously into each other, and everything is, finally, transient, subject to betrayal.
>>220847436Am I supposed to know whose list this is?
>>220847571The true great Japanese master, way above the Ozus and Kurosawas
>>220847436Are any if these even good? Or at the very least not complete and utter trash?I see this Ryan Gosling flick, where the author himself said that it was meaningless slop. I see Korean shit. I see more Korean shit. I see Zendaya. I see yet more Korean shit. I see a musician biopic. I see a Shakespeare biopic.And that's half the list.
>>220847571>they used a crane 70 percent of the timeThat's rather impressive. Not even just mounting a camera to a crane, but training it to carry that weight, not fly away with it, and somewhat get it to coordinate shots.

>You’re usually counted, alongside Werner Schroeter or Rainer Werner Fassbinder, among the directors who launched the new German cinema in the nineteen-sixties and seventies. Do you agree with this?>It’s a factual and technical coincidence. In reality, I never participated in any of their collective projects, I never shared their ideas, which I found mediocre, and I wasn’t friends with them. I grew up poor and worked in a factory, and considered them petits-bourgeois who played with the idea of world revolution and whose political analyses seemed absurd to me. At the time, I was considered a fascist for this. So I’ve always been solitary and isolated in my work.Wtf I hate the 'zog now...Worth pointing out that he was in a relationship with Eva Mattes, who was (one of) Fassbinder's muse(s), so I wonder if they had a rivalry of sorts.

>>220845491>A young man tempted by theft. He struggles against the temptation, then cedes to it. He has concocted various sociopolitical theories that excuse it. He is also fascinated by magic tricks ... It all takes place in Paris. I want to communicate in a palpable way how the paths we take in life don't always lead to a destination. I mean to the expected destination. I would like to make a film of hands, glances, objects, refusing everything that is theatrical. The theater kills cinema and cinema kills theater. In a film, it's the man we need. The image of a human being given to us by actors, even—or especially—talented ones, is too simple, and therefore false. It isn't what my performers show me that's important. It's what they hide from me. An unexpected look can be sublime.

After which you get the idea, and by the last section I was one step ahead of the film, although it remained a powerful experience right up to the end.I was hoping to get his take on Mulholland Drive, since that film has been compared to Celine & Julie a few times, but I guess this interview precedes its release by a few years.
>>220860257>Mulholland Drive, since that film has been compared to Celine & Julie a few timesHas it? Never heard that comparison, and other than having two female leads, I find it hard to see why it would be drawn.
>>220860208Take it easy on the stims, Igor.
>>220860291I was looking at recent Letterboxd reviews (of C&J) and a few of them mention Mulholland Dr.And people love calling things Lynchian, regardless if there's any substance to the comparison. Just because he's probably the most famous surrealist (in the cinematic sense, at least).

>>220861546Where's the shark?
I didnt know that cellulloid film distribution had such a huge costs; this is from 1973:> the essence of film economics is that the unit of production costs millions of dollars, but the return comes back in millions of cents. It is gigantically expensive to get a film from studio to cinema. Very roughly, out of each $100 of cinema receipts, S60 is for the cinema costs and profit. Of the remaining $40, about $15 is available to cover the negative costs of the film, and the rest is for the overheads and profit of the distributor. 15% just to cover the cost of the plastic; makes you wonder how the business has changed
>>220862042Robert Altman on why going out the studios was a mistake for him (Images was financed with a british independent company):>The whole experience was not very pleasant. I now think it’s probably a mistake not to have a distributor involved in a film from the time you enter production. Columbia didn’t even know until two months beforehand that they were going to handle Images , so they didn’t have much time to formulate advertising and marketing.
>>220862091Paramountbros, we had it so good...
>>220862108>When a picture is a success, that reward is too high; and when it is a disaster, it is too low, for the individual pictures. The only way distributors can survive is by setting the super-profits of one production against the super-losses of another and the nothing profits of the average picture. Only the film distributors have the cash flow to be able to do this risk-spreading, which is more akin to merchant banking than it is to wholesaling. Cash sticks to distributors; it has to. Those that merely make and finance pictures inevitably get an unfair percentage of the total take.
>>220862127>This can be illustrated by the figures prepared by ABC when it pulled out of movies. ABC financed, in whole or in part, some 36 films in the six years to 1972—putting its eggs in several baskets. The average budget was a moderate $2m. The films included Straw Dogs , Junior Bonner , Candy , The Killing of Sister George , They Shoot Horses , Don't They ?, Song of Norway , Kotch , and half of Cabaret. Before taking account of the full benefit of Cabaret , or of sales to television, or, on the other hand, of production company overheads, the loss at the end of the day was reckoned to be $47 M.$81 millions just in plastic; and nowadays memory is cheaper than dirt
>>220862155>Remember all those articles about the decline of Hollywood, about Fox’s horrific loss of $6sm in 1969 and $8im the following year, about problems at MGM and at all the majors? It was not the beginning of the end, but a painful adjustment to the facts of life. The basic fact of cinema’s industrial life is that the market for films in the United States is $13 billion, and that American films can hope to take another $1 billion or so at cinemas in the rest of the world and, say, another $40om from television distribution.>Since only $15 out of every $100 taken in revenue is available for the recoupment of negative costs, the market can support an investment in the region of $500m (the figures are, of reluctant necessity, extremely rough and ready). In 1968 the movie majors, who were still busily following the false god of trying to lure the television audience back with very expensive super-productions, had invested for current release some $12 billion worth of films and projects. > The result of such huge overstocking was that the companies had to take gigantic losses as they wrote off the values of the films and television rights down to a realistic level. But that is now over: for example, Fox’s inventory of 8238m in 1968 is down to a mere $6501 now. (In an inflationary period, films are one of the products whose average cost has actually not increased—though rock-bottom has probably now been reached, and the only future direction is up again.) All the majors, except Columbia, which was among the last to go down, are healthily back in the money—and in a mood to celebrate their 50th birthdays.
>>220862211>significant —and disparate—conclusions to be drawn:>1. If the cinema audience continues to shrink (and there are hopeful signs of an upturn) either the number of films distri¬ buted, or their average cost, will have to fall again.>2. The economics of the industry determine that ‘independent’ productions have a better chance of success if they are financed by a major distributor. >296 films were pro¬ duced in 1972, and 170 were independents (although this includes ‘independents’ wholly financed by the studios). However, only 96 films made over $1m for their distributors in North America. Some of them took much more, like The Godfather , which took $81m>The 200 films that did not even make the Sim, had to share a tiny pool of some $50m left over by those that did, which means that most of those 200 made a loss for their financiers. A disproportionate number of non-independents avoided this fate. If for no other reason, it is because the big distributors have more muscle in getting movies into cinemas.>3. The power of the American distributors extends throughout Europe. It is because they make transnational films and have the transnational marketing outfit to handle them. The two things go together. The notion that French, or British, or Italian films would get a bigger showing if only there were a European film distribution network is wishful thinking. >4. There is no British film industry to speak of. Apart from the odd film made by Rank, EMI, or British Lion, the huge bulk of films made in Britain are financed by the Ameri¬ can distributors. This is quite understand¬ able. The British market is too small, and the costs of production are too high, for any but the most lucky or unimaginative (e.g., the films based on television programmes) to make a profit in Britain alone.
