Big up to subtitles that do thisNice low budget Wakamatsu joint. It may be cheap but it has attitude. Doesn't have a profound message and it felt preachy at times in unnatural dialogue which was distracting at first but I got used to it. Me sharing similar sentiment helped. Nicely shot in 8mm I believe. Contains at least two different dame armpit hair shots. This was ghost written by Dingo.https://gofile.io/d/Cd415S

>>221711346>Kissinger was romantically linked to Shirley MacLaine, Marlo Thomas, Candice Bergen and Liv Ullmann. He also was photographed at the sides of Raquel Welch, Elizabeth Taylor and Liza Minnelli. There were countless more who did not have recognizable faces or names. “He had a weakness for young, beautiful lesser-known types,” writes Walter Isaacson in Kissinger: A Biography. “[They] offered, at least in the abstract, the aura of something more illicit.” They included Judith Brown, star of the X-rated 1970 Danish film Threesome, and Lada Edmund, a stuntwoman specializing in motorcycle and car crashes who worked on Smokey and the Bandit and with Evil Knievel.

>>221711659it's funny because Contempt is based on the divorce of the actress who plays the prostitute in Journey To Italy
I think the Italian artist responsible for this poster legitimately thought Anne was Chinese.
>>221712290Wait. She's not?
>>221712122hate to be that guy, but>now
>>221711141kek of course he was lying, cultural revolution was an "open doors country side" punishment jail in the countryside for those who suffered it. Still she shouldn't have been allowed to return back to America after that and should have been executed as an american traitor after landing the plane in US soil

What annoys me most about Contempt is that it makes fritz lang look like a gay artfag. Fucking godard. He wishes he had lang's filmography.

>>221715240Huh...
>>221713340Agreed, thank you>>221713939I don't see how it's pretentious, I understand it could seem that way since it codified a lot of conventions self-regarding arthouse types tend to use but the film itself isn't ostentatious beyond it's merit, if anything, I think it's kind of self-deprecating.
What are some essential movies from the '30s? I'm only watching films from that period at the moment.

>>221713598Actually, Lang looks like an alpha male in that film.>>221713717Usually yes, but there are some good episodes, and I value attitude more than looks. That's part of why Brigitte Bardot kinda sucks on Contempt, lol.

>>221717519Damn. Mike Nichols is a real favourite of mine. Carnal Knowledge, Catch 22, Virginia Woolf, he was beast mode dont know how i havent seen this one. He has this movie with Jack nicholson and warren beatty I cant remember its name but it looks pretty funny. Beatty has a twirling moustache
What should I watch if I revisited Mirror and feel like wanting more of it but there seems like there's nothing quite like it
Harry dean stanton is in everything
>>221717534Probably the worst, blandest, "political thriller" I've ever seen. Well it feels like the thriller aspect never really gets going. The premise is interesting but it's just a lot of George C Scott doing baby talk & swimming with dolphins. I say out with the Dolphin, in with the Condor
>>221715928Aside from some of the other ones already mentioned, I will suggest The Testament of Dr. Mabuse as well as Blessed Event (basically a movie about walter winchell).>>221717196His rendition of the odyssey looked ridiculously loft to me.

>>221718870I'm retarded and it turns out Earth and The Testament of Dr. Mabuse had both been mentioned, the former in it's original language, so I'll recommend The Blood of a Poet by Jean Cocteau and Goodbye, Mr. Chips by Sam Wood in their place.
>>221718870Earth/Zemlya was already recommended... The vitalism of that film is almost peerless.
>>221717550Ordet (1955)Eternity and a Day (1998)The Wishing Tree (1976)

>You see, Peter Bogdanovich has done something that all critics will never forgive him for. That is, stop being a critic, go make a film and have it be enormously successful.

>>221730219Am I wrong or was Sam Neil genuinely underrated as a serious actor? People remember him as like a character actor, mainly as a nice adventurous dad in Jurassic Park. But he is phenomenal in Possession and also in Carpenter's In The Mouth of Madness.

>>221730406Probably, they get overlooked by a lot of horror fans too.
>>221730353>>221731753I know he's in Wenders' Until the End of the World (with William Hurt and a bunch of Ozu actors). I've never seen it because it's nearly 5 hours long. Maybe now's the time.
>>221719076I haven't seen it yet but thanks for the rec. I like the Expressionist-esque designs it has going on.Has anyone else here seen The Asthenic Syndrome? It's a 1989 Soviet drama film following two thematically connected but structurally separate plots. I saw it at TIFF earlier this year and mostly liked it, found it somewhat pretentious and too meandering though ,although I think the latter may have been deliberate.

>>221736079Why does Kitano blink with one eyeIs it a tic
>>221736781Yeah he had a motorcycle accident when he was younger iirc. A tremor I believe it's called
>>221736798>when he was youngerI thought it was during the 90's, a year or two before making hana bi.
>>221736781>>221736798It's paralysis on one side of his face from the crash injuries.
>>221736798>>221736834>In August 1994, Kitano was involved in a motorscooter accident and suffered injuries that caused partial paralysis of the right-side of his face. As reported by Dan Edwards, Kitano later said that the accident was an "unconscious suicide attempt".[14] Kitano made Kids Return in 1996, soon after his recovery.Interesting
>>221736834he was younger in the 90s than he is now
>>221736849Kids Return, really? I must have gotten the details mixed up. From hana-bi:>In the film, Horibe takes up painting in the pointillist style in order to compensate for his paralysis. In reality, these paintings were painted by Kitano himself, whilst in recovery from an infamous motorcycle accident in August 1994 that left half of his face paralyzed.[2]
>While secretly trying to film the woman next door, Seungsoo happens to capture footage of a murder. The murderer kills Seungsoo, too, but only after the tape with the recording of the murder has been placed in the return box of a video rental shop. As he borrows videos randomly in search of the incriminating tape, the killer learns from Seungsoo’s younger sister, Seungmi, that her brother was a fan of thrillers. Starting with De Palma’s Dressed to Kill and Hitchcock’s Vertigo, the murderer becomes deeply enamored with film. In the end, he reveals his dream of becoming a director to the cashier at the video rental shop…
I never realized this but it's kinda funny that John Carpenter and Godard both cite the same director as their biggest influence
>>221737285Nah. Hawks is just that kino.

>>221737285>>221737345Looks like I'll have to bump more of his stuff up on my list. There wouldn't happen to be a good copy of pic related floating around anywhere, would there?
>>221737285>I prefer genre pictures because they're very difficult to do. And since I can't manage to do that much, I tell myself: "It's beyond what I can do."
>>221737596>Four or five years ago I worked in the field of film criticism. I knew many films and reasoned only with examples. When I thought about a close-up, I didn't just think about the close-up, but about a close-up from a film by Preminger or Hawks or Renoir. I thought only in relation to existing cinema, which I liked. Now I think more in relation to reality. Before, I tried to adapt reality to film, while now I try to find the language in relation to reality. Americans know how to tell stories very well; the French not at all. Flaubert and Proust didn't know how to tell stories. They do something else.
>>221734531Kira Muratova ended up developing a stylistic quirk where characters sometimes would repeat the same phrases and gestures over and over, it's meant to evoke a kind of a mental condition I think with the films in general having a "psychiatric ward" tone to them. Those Bruno Dumont comedies actually have a similar thing to Muratova although even more extreme and grating on purpose actually. I don't remember if The Asthenic Syndrome specifically had that stylistic element tho. Might have been too early. But if it did, it could have contributed to the feeling of it being meandering.Her early films are also good, but different. She comes from the Khrushchev Thaw generation of filmmakers, most of whom specialized on kind of gentle melodramas that ended up shaping Soviet cinema a lot really, the 70s stuff especially. Khutsyev and Konchalovsky are another examples. Konchalovsky did move into doing period dramas tho, similarly to his brother Mikhalkov. The Thaw also spawned more radical filmmaking the kind of Tarkovsky (who has a cameo in Khutsyev's I Am Twenty) and Parajanov, although that stuff was censored much harsher than the gentle dramas which ended up being mostly liked and greatly influential internally. They did still suffer from censorship. Khutsyev had to re-edit I Am Twenty (also known as Ilyich's Gate), Muratova had her films shelved, so did Konchalovsky. He actually moved to America for a time and made a few decently acclaimed movies there. But nothing as harsh as Parajanov literally being sent to fucking GULAG.

>>221737860>ira Muratova ended up developing a stylistic quirk where characters sometimes would repeat the same phrases and gestures over and over, it's meant to evoke a kind of a mental condition I think with the films in general having a "psychiatric ward" tone to them.Interesting choice. I believe that mental condition is called excited catatonia. I can picture it in my head and see it working well. Or at least to anyone familiar with the condition. Pretty clever.
>>221737873>I remember how it was filmed: we sat down in front of the cup of coffee, I stirred it, and then Coutard said, “I don’t see anything, I don’t see anything, nothing’s happening”; it moved, it lasted ten minutes in total, and finally, at a certain point, there was nothing left... and then, in that moment that I really like, starting from a cup of coffee, we saw the world unravel and then, suddenly, the world was recreated, suddenly motionless... Things were happening, that's why everything is interesting; it's possible to make a film with nothing, because everything can be shown in nothing.
>There are two ways of making films, that's very clear. There's one way that's mine: I need to make a film more than make music, because I sing badly... I'd love to sing well. But I need to get close to others, so that others can see me... This is what I've discovered. If they ask me, “Who are you?”, I can show them, and the act of showing myself allows the direct interaction to be less intense, so that I'm not immediately forced to criticize myself or to be afraid, or to be shy or anything like that. >So I need to film, while three-quarters of the other people who make films need to live the social life of the film, whether it's a militant film or a Hollywood one. They need to live Hollywood, they need to live the life of the film, they need to live the life of those three months. Making a film is something extraordinary: you spend three months with other people, there's the allure of novelty, you don't work, you get paid; you're not the one who invented the story, you're not the one who performs it; if you do the cinematography, you don't have to put up any money; If you put up the money, you don't have to get naked in front of the camera... Besides, if you're the viewer, you're not obligated to produce the film; if you produce the film, you're not forced to be the viewer... And that lasts three months, four months.
>>221737781>>221737596He really was the most pretentious filmmaker ever.
>>221738091>Among some people, I'm sometimes considered the father of modern cinema. I don't understand it, since I consider myself much younger, especially among Americans. I met Paul Schrader last night, and Michael Cimino two weeks ago, and I'm sure they consider me an old or aged director. It would be difficult for me to make them understand that I consider them older than me. Obviously, I'm almost 50 and they're 35 or 40. But I have a deep feeling that they are my parents. I think it's because they are American and I consider American cinema to be my parents. Therefore, even if it's a young guy making his first film in America, I will consider him my father or mother, and I will try to rebel against him. I am older than him, but my cinema is younger simply because it has no rules, and he has many rules.
wtf I expected a porno
>>221738147How didn't anybody ever just punch him in the nose
>>221738015I remember it being particularly noticeable in Chekhov's Motifs. I haven't seen everything. Late more surreal and dark stuff of hers is curious, although my favourite film of hers from what I've seen is in fact The Long Farewell the poster for which I posted. It's a beautiful example of a gentle Soviet melodrama with fantastic cinematography. I wonder if Pawel Pawlikowski seen the movie, it's a similar visual style to his latest three films although with a lot of handheld shots too. It's an unusual style for Soviet movies actually, especially when the 70s started the films have mostly acquired a uniform visual approach, at least when we talk about Ukrainian and Russian made ones. There is similarity to middle period Alexei German Sr. too in the visual style of The Long Farewell. With 20 Days Without War in particular. I would recommend everything I am mentioning in the posts, if you can track down English subtitles of course.
>>221738168The surface level ending exposition of the movie's themes out loud almost ruins what is essentially a masterpiece. I think the studio forced that part in.

>>221738178>My goal was to be a state-employed filmmaker, like the Russians. I wouldn't have been able to do that with the Russians either: I would have been fired or imprisoned too quickly. For a long time, my dream was to work at the UGC—the General Union of Cinematography—back when it was producing Bresson's films. The state had taken it over; it was a state-run film production system. My dream was to work there, getting paid by the month and by the year.
>>221738375Contradiction in terms.
>>221738091Not even close
>But what were they looking for? To film boys and girls who, when they see the film, would be surprised to see themselves and the world reflected in it. This was the instinctive ambition: there was a path, and the film provided the return. I still felt that way with a Vincent Gallo film.
>>221738520>[With Almodovar] They are no longer boys and girls. They are advertising creatures. Before, actors played characters, not themselves playing characters. We are in the age of the copy. The copy has become the original. That is why the notion of “copyright” has become implausible.
