They even have the audacity to call it "transcendental cinema". Whose adherents describe watching these films as having spiritual experiences. Top fucking kek. Spiritual experience from staring at the screen for 2+ hours of nothing happening. The idea of a spiritual experience itself is dubious but to claim something like that can be achieved by watching this pretentious slop is outright retarded. We need to start a trend of saying slow cinema isn't art and can never be art.

>>222337014Based truth nuke. Watched a Carlos Reygadas film and it was the biggest piece of shit that I've ever had the displeasure of viewing.
>>222337040Better than being scammed by the cinematic equivalent of pajeet "spiritual gurus".
>>222337014>The idea of a spiritual experience itself is dubiousYou could have just started by saying you're a soulless golem.
>>222337252Yeah sure fag, you can reach that stage by watching cinema when in history it's supposed to take years of effort. And yes, spiritual experiences are poorly recorded and defined phenomenon.
>>222337252Bet you're a degenerate druggie who thinks he can achieve a spiritual experiences by frying his brain.
>>222337014Part of the blame goes to Paul Schrader for overhyping these kinds of films.
>>222337040Stick to your /film/ echochamber pseudnigger.
>>222337288>strawman>>222337340>strawmanPeople who say that they get a spiritual experience straight up from cinema are obviously exaggerating. And nobody takes drugs to watch slow films except maybe Redditors. Although if anything I've seen more people saying they pop acid to watch Michael Bay.
>>222337014I experienced several spiritual experiences after viewing 2001, The Shining, and Akira. You sound real mad over the phrase spiritual experience and I don’t care if it makes some low functioning autistic shit his adult diaper and beat his mom and rage my spiritual experiences from viewing these pieces of art. Hope everything gets better

>we need to start a trendI remember when people who were going "omg guyse can we make this a meme" were clowned upon. Zoomer tryhards are utterly embarrassing.
>>222338019Kys oldtranny. A trend is not a meme.
>>222338029You're 15.
>>222337014Wtf is slow cinema and why do so many in these comments seem to agree on it like they have some kind of hive mindI'm guessing the people claiming they agree can't actually agree on what movies qualify as "slow cinema". I'm the target audience for wanting this kind of hate to flourish and even I think it's stupid
>>222338062You know slop like Tarkovsky, Bresson, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, etc...
>>222338062OP is a 15 year ild who probably watched Refn and thought it's slow cinema. Slow cinema is actually slow shit with an average length of a continuations shot being at least 3 minutes, with camera usually not moving too, although someone like Bela Tarr is an exception. Asians love slow cinema the most, Tsai Ming-liang, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Lav Diaz, certain Hong Sang Soo and Edward Yang movies. Euro slow cinema includes Albert Serra, Pedro Costa, already mentioned Bela Tarr, Michelangelo Frammartino. It's all vague because it's always gonna be vague with definitions (ever seen music genre definition battles) and you can see the vagueness in the fact that people can't agree on when slow cinema started. It exploded in the 00s, but there are earlier examples. Maybe OP actually watched Jeanne Dielman instead of Refn, which would make even more sense why he is so assblasted because it's a completely different thing from other mentioned directors. Most slow cinema is not usually about capturing the ridiculously mundane that way, it's usually adjacent to surreal imagery / magical realism, or at least capturing some sort of natural beauty (like Frammartino). Jeanne Dielman is more proto-Haneke. Influences of all of this shit obviously seep into a lot of other things, already mentioned Refn who likely was influenced by asian slow cinema, but if you actually watch even his slowest movies after watching someone like Tsai Ming-liang they will seem like Hollywood blockbusters.The appeal of all if this is really the same as the appeal of ambient music. It gets you into a specific mood for a period of time, not necessarily relaxing, but a sort of melancholy. It's not a fucking spiritual experience, but OP is inventing a strawman based on not being able to lay down Reddit or Letterboxd review section. People tend to exaggerate shit. Someone who never had a spiritual experience can in fact confuse a strong mood they never got into before for it.
>>222338232>Asians love slow cinema the most, Tsai Ming-liang, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Lav Diaz, certain Hong Sang Soo and Edward Yang movies. Euro slow cinema includes Albert Serra, Pedro Costa, already mentioned Bela Tarr, Michelangelo Frammartino.A collection of frauds and charlatans.
>>222338228Well here's someone coming in and proving my point. None of these are actually commonly considered slow cinema, but people do tend to argue here, because a minority of unfamiliar people do in fact view those people as slow cinema. Bresson is the closest to what we're talking about, and is an influence on a lot of slow cinema directors, but he has a calculated and cold detached feeling to his work that goes in opposite to often heightened and surreal reality of slow cinema filmmakers that's meant to be very immersive rather than detached.Tarkovsky moves his camera too much and features quite a lot of text, while slow cinema is usually very silent, at least on average (Lav Diaz has plenty of text but it often gets compensated by the text being scattered across extreme 5+ hour runtimes). Nuri Bilge Ceylan is a Tark protege, and even more talkative than Tark, lots of dialogue, and his movies often feature too much plot / character work.
>>222338278>waaah I'm colourblind stop telling me red is blue!Or vice versa. >waaaah how dare you be colour blind and see this thing differently!
>>222338282I actually wanted to mention Lav Diaz, Pedro Costa, Reygadas, etc... but I realised no one would recognize those literal whos.
>>222338317Reygadas is also questionably a part of that whole thing, to me, stylistically, he is an edgier Bilge Ceylan, in that he is also a Tarkovsky protege. Although he is less talkative on average. It's in-between.
>>222338298If there's any consolation for these frauds getting recognition not even the pseudo at Cannes, The Sight and Sound Polls, and TSPDT can make these hacks gain persistent popularity and they, hopefully, disappear out of film discourse(limited as it maybe) very soon. They won't even be a footnote in cinema history.
>>222337974>you probably No I think I know myself more than some low functioning autistic ESL. It was DEFINITELY a spiritual experience. A spiritual awakening if I do say so myself
>222338360Your impotent seething is not particularly riveting.
>>222338370What you had is not a spiritual experience you mongoloid. But here's the deal, throw me your address and I'll help you gain a real "spiritual experience". I'll torture you so badly that when you're finally released you'll experience a high so amazing that will make watching The Shitining feel miniscule.
I was joking the first time I said this nigga is 15, but now I am actually 100% sure this nigga is 15.
>>222338381>>222338479Slow cinema is fraudulent. Spiritual experiences are for the weak of mind.
>>222338678Ironic shitposting is still shitposting fedora bro.
>>222338232Those are some of the hackiest names in cinema. Holy shit.
>>222338451It’s always so…. CUTE when some big fat loser posts this garbage. My dick goes down to my knees and I have an 8 pack. I would kill you if I ever saw you irl do you understand me? I would end your pathetic existence If I ever saw your disgusting neckbeard ass in real life I’d snap your spine like a glow stick, skull-fuck your twitching corpse until your head explodes like a rotten melon and split your corpse in half with my big white cock and the police would simply let me go because they’d look at what was left of you, then look at me and determine it was self defense. Your parents would throw you in an unmarked grave with several dead homeless retards because they were too poor from smoking crack all day but ultimately they didn't give a single fuck about you. And inb4 don’t smart mouth me you worthless cumstain
>>222339241Tough talk from a mental midget who gets his brain blown by fucking cinema. I would skin your 80 IQ ass from head to toe kek, now THAT would be spiritual experience for you. If you were actually tough you would've posted your address already.
>>222337340Took LSD and watch Twin Peaks. It's the greatest cinematic experience one can have.
>>222339546Literal cliché lmao. Druggies are retarded.
This is absolutely true about trash like 8 1/2, absolute garbage movie.
>>222340904That's not even a slow movie. This fucking board is nothing but capeshitters holy fuck.>inb4 don't watch capeshitSpiritual capeshittery is still capeshittery.
