>>223417132kinoniggers, what do I watch? I'm crashing on a day of deep cleaning my house on adderall and I need something meaningful to watch to stop the shadow ppl from making me feel bad
>>223417132Scattered Clouds, his final flick. Sirk without irony. Heaving passion!
>>223417222Serpent's Path
>>223417273>>223417222I probably wont sleep anytime soon, so I'll try get both in. ty
>>223417344No problem.
>>223417264Anon, you're literally me right now.
>>223417132>QOTDSince the other anon already mentioned Scattered Clouds, then i'll mention Approach of Autumn (1960), a very sad children's film/film about children, Iwashigumo (1955), and Sound of the Mountain (1954). If you've never seen any Naruse those are all good firsts as well.good edition, Lloyd. I'm the one who said i was the Naruse of /film/.
>In thinking back on their time working together, Takamine wrote, “[Naruse] was a person whose refusal to talk was downright malicious. Even during the shooting of a picture, he would never say if something was good or bad, interesting or trite. He was a completely unresponsive director [and] there was never an instance in which he gave me any acting instructions.” Another frequent star in these films, Tatsuya Nakadai, had the same experience, saying, “He was the most difficult director I ever worked for. He never said a word. A real nihilist.” On the set of Untamed in 1957, Takamine finally mustered the courage to ask Naruse for guidance on how to play her character, to which he just answered: “It’ll be over before you know it.”
>Perhaps inspired by their working on a picture loaded with elaborate bourgeoisie sets and noisy scenes of bumper-to-bumper traffic, the usually silent Naruse said: “Hide-chan? Someday, I want [to make a film] with no sets, no color, just a single white curtain as a backdrop. I’d like to show nothing but the drama itself, unfolding before a white backdrop with no impediments…. When I do this, will you act in it for me?”
>"One of the things I love about his movies," Lopate offered, "is that they edge away from redemption, they refuse transcendence. In that, there is also something kind of novelistic. Sometimes the endings have something inconclusive about them, not always. Audie Bock has said that there are no happy endings in Naruse but there are some incredibly enlightening defeats.">But, Lopate quickly added, Naruse also had a comic streak, one might say a wise streak. Lopate explained that sometimes people write about Naruse and they use words like "bleak" and "pessimistic", but when he watches Naruse's films, he's "always enlivened" and doesn't experience Naruse "as a downer." Partly because Lopate does think there is this odd sense of humor in Naruse wherein he shows how people want something. Naruse himself said "people move a little and then they hit a wall." They want something, Lopate amplified, Naruse "shows them wanting it, he shows them deluded that they can get it, then he pulls the rug out from under them. There's something kind of comic in their sense of denial but also in their stoicism and in their resilience. In many ways Naruse characters have a great deal of dignity because they don't expect happiness, but they keep plugging along."
I just feel like killing people all the time.
>>223417810We know, you've said it a million times already.
>>223417819I'm saying it again.
>>223417810You’re like the sadistic version of me. I just feel like getting hurt and killed all the time. We’d probably like similar movies for different reasons.
>>223417917I actually would like to love people, but I can't. I'm not really sadistic, it's just the hatred that makes me the way I am. I enjoy sadistic sex, yet I don't like hurting people for real, but it seems like some people just can't stop being assholes 24/7 and that forces me to be bad. The poison is just too much to keep it in.
>>223418015I feel for you brother. There’s nothing to do about it. The only way I can feel good is by being hurt by others. It’s been that way since I was born. Maybe, watch some Wakamatsu. Idk. It probably won’t mean much, but I love you!
>>223418063Well, I guess I like you too, though I can't understand how one would like to be a masochist. I wonder if you also can't understand why someone would be a sadist.>There's nothing to do about it.Maybe, though I've reached the conclusion that it's better to share the pain. Maybe someday we'll look back and laugh at it.I'll watch the Wakamatsu, I got some of his movies downloaded.
>>223418107>though I can't understand how one would like to be a masochistI don’t understand it much either.>Maybe someday we'll look back and laugh at it.<3

>>223422744It’s either JUL-535 or FJIN-148Either way both are masterpieces
>>223423698Great cinema!
>>223423760I have both of their filmographies in hd with full mosaic removal. Peak cinema.
>>223420030Added.
Test
>>223424419did it workeded?
went to see the nolanslop in 70mm today. waste of money desu. cinemafags will always confound me. I would have had a better time watching it at home on my 14 inch laptop. anyone nostalgic about movie theatres is a malignant turbonormie.
>>223424479It certainly appears so.
>>223424500Consider the idea that the movie in question hindered your enjoyment of the cinema experience
>>223424015One of the most hopeful uses for AI is the uncensored remastering of JAV masterpieces. In a few months, we might get Hitomi Tanaka classics fully restored thanks to the power of AI.
>>223424430I like the landscape
>>223425278I actually have about two dozen of her movies with a reduced mosaic. I can give you the codes you want if you’re willing to give me some cinemaZ or privateHD bonus points…Let me know!
>>223425315Thanks for the offer, but I'm not on those sites. I also am a proponent for no censorship via AI remastering, I've seen very good results with it.
signed up a trial for the Institut national de l'audiovisuel's streaming service for a documentary I wanted to see and goddamn frogs are fucking spoiled. 4 euros a month and the range of content offered is absurd
>>223425395You know you're in for some kino when you see the logo...
Hmmm... so desu ne...
KINO IS BACK ON THE MENU>No one in Hollywood dares update the 1985 Red Dawn, John Milius’s cautionary fantasy about a communist scare. After the negligible 2012 remake, it remains a conservative pipe dream — until now, with the provocative makeover Run Hide Fight: Infidels.>Titled after a school-shooting warning promoted by the Department of Homeland Security in 2012, Run Hide Fight: Infidels offers a what-if tale of an American university campus taken over by protesters, covering for Muslim jihadists who slaughter students and faculty. The battle is fought by undergraduate Dev (JC Kilcoyne), the son of a former Delta Force soldier whose partner, military vet Clay Saunders (Jonathan Majors), is dedicated to capturing ISIS mastermind Asad al-Madhi (Alec Rayme). Saunders is visiting the campus to promote his book America Unafraid when the protest/massacre occurs. Produced by Dallas Sonnier and Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire platform, the film, written and directed by Kyle Rankin, is intended to be incendiary but also somewhat humorous. Deliberately challenging far-left Hollywood conventions, it imitates those methods of suasion — reworking Red Dawn as Red-Green Dawn, evoking the Red-Green Alliance that describes that tactical cooperation between radical leftists (“red”) and Islamists (“green”) that was on display in the recent Columbia University protests. It could also be called Keffiyeh Dawn for the clear, simple, morally black-and-white delineation of good and evil when the terrorists divide students by gender for humiliation and sexual subjugation.
>>223425463>Satirical humor comes from seeing the alternate reality of Laughton University (filmed at Limestone College in South Carolina), an Anywhere college campus where American liberalism is openly self-sacrificial. “I’m a recovering Catholic myself,” says a school administrator who considers American patriotism “too judgy, not coming from a place of love.” This is what Hollywood and mainstream news media won’t show, so the “Silence is compliance,” and “Free, free Palestine!” chants have a Brechtian obviousness.>When Ibrahim (Stephen Hailo), al-Madhi’s son, leads the campus attack that’s meant to “deliver real change to this godforsaken, misbegotten country,” it demonstrates a noteworthy truth about all Hollywood propaganda: You can find actors to do anything. (One quick cut shows a European agent provocateur secretly paid by cash in a yellow envelope.) This includes Dev’s patriotic dormmate P.J. (James Bingham), who gets the film’s cleverest jibe: “Four things more powerful than all things are: women, horses, power, war.” He asks, “Anybody know who said that?” and his clueless classmates guess, “Helen Keller? Hitler?” P.J. quotes Western colonial icon Rudyard Kipling the way conservative cinephiles acknowledge John Milius.
>>223425463I very strongly doubt this piece of shit is anything like Red Dawn, Milius is an actual auteur with a brain and a heart, this nonsense is just another bullshit by internet right wing grifters.
>>223425477>Rankin’s ambush scenes are effective. His propaganda recalls Costa-Gavras’s purpose without rivaling his skill: A pan of dead student bodies strewn across the campus as their cellphones are reactivated with the Muslim call to prayer takes unwary and naïve viewers by surprise and is enough to inspire political fatalism. Later, a self-mocking comic trio that defends the campus isn’t quite up to Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man, but it proves that the Daily Wire’s challenge to Hollywood isn’t entirely self-serious.>Only sleeper-cell reviewers could oppose this freedom-of-speech provocation. (Variety predictably labeled it “trolling . . . deeply Islamophobic.”) But Run Hide Fight: Infidels proves that a counteroffensive is possible (including gaining rights to pop songs by Third Eye Blind, Deep Blue Something, Stone Temple Pilots, and Stereo MCs). Actor Jonathan Majors risks his career to utter Saunders’s gung-ho speech, “There are three ways Islam will conquer the West: through immigration, through the wombs of our women, and by using our own Western freedoms against us.” But Rankin’s strongest ploy shows Ibrahim’s vicious reflex to “nonbinary” and gay protesters: One is hanged from a flagpole wearing a trans LGBTQ banner alongside the ISIS flag. Daily Wire is playing catch-up to left-Hollywood point-making.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2aFlqZjaw8
>>223425463>>223425484Armond is a tragic guy who loves stuff like La Chinoise but has to contractually praise this slop because he writes for National Review (lmao)
>>223425315>MosaicIt always amused me how they don't cover the butthole, you can't see cock and pussy but buttholes are perfectly fine. Very funny.
>>223425484>this nonsense is just another bullshit by internet right wing grifters.It's insane how in America they have these guys who are spouting shit about politics a 100% of the time and see everything through a political lens. They could watch Toy Story and tell you how it somehow is a leftist film promoting communism because the toys rebel against their owners or something.>>223425500Sad!>>223425520Yeah, it's weird, they're also quite liberal with fetishes like puking and pissing.
>>223425484I am a literal nazi and I think Milius is a retarded propaganda puppet. Red Dawn is slop of the decade. His shit script for Apoc Now is the reason everyone thought it was going to bomb until Mr Murch saved it. Milius sucks. Get over it. Find better right wingers like SM Peckinpah.Also Milius just looks gross from a eugenics point of view. Really ugly mug if yask me.
>>223425552Every country is liberal with puke and shit. America’s sweet hearts Jimmy and Bootleg from facial abuse is known for it
>>223425587Facial Abuse has had a lot of legal trouble over the years for their business practices, though. I meant the japs are liberal in showing puke and piss, which is ironic since they can't show pussy or dicks.
>>223425561>>223425587Are you the meth addict that was posting in the other thread?
>>223425637No. I have only posted on the two Latina threads today. And I only smoke pot but haven’t for a week.Why yaskin friend?
>>223425637Speed = amphetamine.Meth = methamphetamine.LH is (supposedly) a speed addict.
All of his friends call him HitlerWhen he takes speed he loses statureHow high are his heelsHow high are his heels
>>223425561I don't know bruh, a real nazi would call himself a national socialist, though you might be an ironic nazi. This is like a black guy saying "I am a literal nigger".
Decision at Sundown
Gonna be Una donna ha ucciso (1952) tonight.
I saw that post.
>>223426075I misread the anon. Shit man what do you want me to say? My bad man.
Twenty-dollar bill, I can set you straightMeet me on the corner, boy, and don't be late
>>223426123For some reason I love Captain beefhart with Zappa but by himself he does nothing for me
Is that a real poncho or is that a sears poncho?
>>223426137I used to be a huge Beefheart fan when I was younger but I've been getting into Zappa's music as of lately after dismissing him as the inferior of the two. Absolutely Free is probably my favorite album of the ones I've heard.
>>223425862>>223425919double based
>>223426178Zappa intentionally made his music to be ‘pleb filters’ this is one of my favorite examples and tracks from Zappa.First half is a weird experimental keyboard but the second half of the track is the greatest guitar solo I’ve heard (along with Watermelon in Easter Hay, also by Zappa)https://youtu.be/d4uW5ujGUyk?is=dDYhXPkeIOuyDlLP
Thank you to the anon who recommended Daughters of Darkness (1971), I enjoyed it quite a lot!
>>223426178>dismissing him as the inferior of the twoOne of the worst takes I've ever read in /film/, the hack couldn't even play an instrument
>>223426463It's a banger.
I also like that the lesbians cuck the male partner... for some reason, I really enjoy seeing cucked males in filmic works.
>>223426536I dont know about all that, I just like sexy vampires.
>>223426565It's just fun to see really proud males who think they're hot shit getting humilliated by females. Then there's also the fantasy part about being the cucker, not the cuck.>I just like sexy vampires.They're cool, though Daughters of Darkness is actually the rare lesbo-vampire film that actually has substance and isn't just sexploitation schlock.
>>223426480Fucking retard. He was a virtuoso whistler and he'd compose songs by singing melodies.I bet you're a Lou Reed hater too.
>>223426656NTA.Is this ironic? I've always found Zappa's music super boring but I thought he was a guitar player? LolAlso, Lou gigamogs him.
>>223426772I like both Lou and Frank for different reasons. Frank's music is more fun and Lou's is more sentimental. In a hypothetical scenario where I had to quit listening to one of them I'd deliberate for long. They're both meaningful to me.
>>223426772We're talking about Beefheart, chief.Then again this thread does love grifters after all
>>223417132I LOVE the soundtrack to this. It’s got sitar and is like a proto-Popol Vuh sound from the late 60s era. Reminds me of the Aguirre soundtrack from Herzog in particular. I would never have off hand guessed this was a Morricone soundtrack. Sounds more like progressive Krautrock.
An anon last thread mentioned liking when musicians use their mouths for the trumpets.https://youtu.be/kbQ4rT5vYa8?is=ZPgifZXcNw-Wvhkt6:15 is some virtuoso mouth trumpet
>>223426772I was referring to Beefheart.
>>223426856Beefheart maybe mogs both Zappa and Reed. I don't even know what he did, but speaking albums only, yeah, Beefheart mogs. Zappa for sure last; I feel like he's the beginning of that boring ass wank guitar shit like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani.>>223426880I like when petite girls do mouth trumpet stuff to american patriotic songs, preferably ironically. I've also been getting into omnichord shit lately, turns out there's a lot of fun ass instruments and music that's been blowing out my mind as a rock / metal / hardcore / electronic dude mainly.
No one told me Black Narcissus was that good
yawn
>>223426859One of my favorite soundtracks from the 60s has got to be for CandyThe "theme song" was used in Ocean's Twelve of all movieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uq6GPdx80ocThe theme for LH was quirkyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ib8rYWxps0But this track is my favorite for that guitar tone and the blaxploitaton ass beathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJeMzcD9Q8g
Also, Beefheart is one of the best white blues singers of all time. Wtf? The voice is an instrument.
>>223426985I personally told you it was a 10/10 but you didn't listen…
>>223427028I agree his singing is the best part of him despite not being a huge fan of his work outside Safe As Milk and Mirror Man
>>223427041Was Dean gay?
AH CAIN'T GO BACK TO YOURFROUNLEEEEENNNNDDD
>>223427062Probably. This shot made me laugh so fucking hard on first watch.
>>223427028You really need to listen to more music if you actually believe this
>>223427172I can have an opinion, I just broke the 4k music ratings.
>>223427117Top kek
>>223426985such a gorgeous movie. Yes, they had to go out all the way to the himalayas for those beautiful mountain shots but it was 100% worth it
>>223427117Even for the 40s this is sloppy blocking.
>>223427300>Even for the 40s this is sloppy blo–*cock*You take that back. P&P are royalty here.
>sloppy blockingSaturday /film/ really is bad take central
>>223427526I was half expecting the Animaniacs to slide into frame with her holding a sign that says “hellooooo nurse”
i watched "a matter of life and death" (1946). it was alright but it's no "the red shoes". kind of "it's a wonderful life" but WWII
>>223427563Go back redditor. That is piss poor directing of a shot in an otherwise great film. If you can’t be critical then go to the reddot. The silent era would laugh at that shot as amateur cinematography
>>223427028Ornette said he was the only white man who could sing the blues.
>>223427641Imagine needing validation from a nigger
>>223427685Yawn.
>>223427581
>>223427695>t.
>>223427641Never heard that anecdote but that's great. I remember reading that he praised John Lydon's vocals as well.
>>223417132San Sebastian Film Festival awards>Golden Shell for Best Film: Tender Loving Care>Special Jury Prize: Border>Silver Shell for Best Director: Amanda Kernell (Brace Your Heart)>Silver Shell for Best Leading Performance: Kate O'Flynn (Tender Loving Care) and Asta Kamma August (Growth of the Soil)>Silver Shell for Best Supporting Performance: Javier Cámara (5 More Minutes)>Jury Award for Best Cinematography: Oskar Dahlsbakken (Growth of the Soil)>Jury Award for Best Screenplay: Mike Leigh (Tender Loving Care)once again one single film gets several awards, SS is always bad at selections
>>223427801>no golden conch award Why even bother
I know that this is not a Truffaut friendly place. I hardly like him either, but which films of his do you actually like. For me, it’s Antoine and Collette and Stolen Kisses.
>>223427636They just can't cope with criticism.>>223427772John Lydon's also a great musician. Made the Pistols better than their peers, and PiL were just always ahead of their time.
>>223427907400 Blows is great, you'd have to be trolling to dismiss that film without even admitting its merits.>>223427757How is the speed today?
I don’t care about anything other than how it makes me feel
>>223428025The speed? That's the usual reaction in drug addicts.
anjay, eeeeeeeiiiiiiiiinjaaaaaaaaaaaywhen will those clouds all disappear >>223427907la chambre verte definitely. a lot of his filmography is a blind spot for me but I don't hate him or anything
>>223427801>Border: The competition's most radical film is Chinese (***)>Finally, Thursday’s competition lineup concluded with a debut feature that is "spherical"—perfectly rounded—no matter how you look at it. What Ah Biao presented under the title *Border* is, in order: a) the most radical film—due to its hermetic nature—of the Official Selection so far; b) the shortest (barely 78 minutes); c) the most poorly told; and d) the most explicit regarding sex (everything else is implicit). Biao chronicles—if one can put it that way—the strange existence of a strange miner in an essentially strange land. By day he works; in the afternoon, his father (a mine guard or something similar) offers him sexual solace; and at night, the man—who neither smiles, cries, nor speaks—attempts a relationship with an enigmatic woman who has arrived from parts unknown.>What follows is a drama that is anomalous to the point of desperation, and desperate to the point of brutal anomaly. Everything feels arid, abrasive, intriguing, and—let’s admit it—as seductive as it is repulsive. With barely any dialogue, the filmmaker alternates references to Robert Bresson’s expressive stoicism with the same ease with which every shot draws upon the mastery of Jia Zhangke—a filmmaker much closer to him, stylistically speaking. The result is a film possessing the furious soul of unprecedented daring. It is highly praiseworthy, even if it isn't entirely clear exactly what we are applauding.k*no is back on the menu
>>223427801>genderless acting awardslmao woke shit go fuck yourself faggot
>>223428259>Composed of long, often wordless takes populated by catatonically reserved characters, Border has already drawn comparison to the work of feted auteurs like Jia Zhangke and Aki Kaurismäki. Ah Baio himself cites Dostoevsky as a key influence on his spartan quasi-thriller plot, which was partly inspired by two real-life crime cases. The film’s uncompromising aesthetic, plus a handful of graphic sex scenes, will limit its audience to niche art-house circles. Even so, this artfully lo-fi production is a bracingly enjoyable cinematic experience, with a quietly haunting intensity that lingers long after its slender runtime.>Purposely vague in time and location, the story takes place in an unnamed mining town on the Chinese-Mongolian border. This forlorn post-industrial purgatory feels drained of colour and virtually deserted, its empty streets resembling De Chirico paintings at times. Ah Biao uses the city almost as a character, as desolate and hopeless as his human protagonists. Acting as his own cinematographer and editor, the director shoots these snowy boulevards, stained concrete walkways and prison-like subterranean tunnels as a series of precisely composed still-life tableaux. This strong visual dimension is one of the film’s main selling points.
>>223428279Nigga wtf are u talking about lol. Don't do drugs kids
>>223428279Why get angry at things you don't understand? Is it your ignorance that annoys you?
>>223428339like Berlin, San Sebastian does Best Leading Performance and Best Supporting Performance, and no Best Actor and Best Actress
Thoughts, /film/?
I didn't even read what he was replying to I thought there was a category literally called "genderless acting">>223428366Nah that's pointless gendering. Take any job title and add "male" at the front. If it sounds stupid, gendering it is pointless. Male pilot, male doctor, male attorney...
>>223428366Makes no sense unless the roles in contention are devoid of gender. We already know most actors do not stick to stereotypes of gender. It's akin to imdb's endless redesigns.
>>223428291Sounds like a mix of the River 1997 (isolation incest), Luzifer (isolation), and Padre Padrone (remote poverty porn).
>>223428399>If it sounds stupid, gendering it is pointless.m8 they are actors, they need attentionthat's the point of splitting the category since film awards exist
>>223428368Resnais used to be huge in arthouse circles but I feel like people don't really care for him anymore
>>223428500?Last Year in Marienbad is among babby's first farthouse
>>223428500only the beginning of his career is arthousealthough >>223428368 is very experimental, it's 100% mainstream cinema
It's worth pointing out that Godard was 5'8 and Resnais was 6'4. Their filmographies reflect that.
>>223428368That nigga Gérard Darrieu looks familiar...
>>223427907None of what i've seen from him is bad, he's just not great.
>>223428025Based
Don't tell me the story. I'm as bright as the average, I guess I can figure who loves who and who kills you.Don't try politics. I don't understand. You neither.Don't quote more than once. I know you read books. But I'm pretty sure that Hegel has nothing to do with that movie.Don't overstate the id. I have enough troubles with my superego.Don't tell me the story of your life. If that's funny, write a book. I'll buy it.Don't tell me it's good. Or tell me, if you like.But tell me why...Tell me why you cried when she moved her shoulders. Tell me why those thirteen seconds sounded like an eternity. Tell me why you felt the world was close to the end when the guy pulled his gun. Tell me why you'll never forget the color of his suit. Tell me why the happiness of the entire world could fit in his simple smile. Tell me why you felt like if it was the first day ever when the sunshine came into the room.Tell me why I enjoy movies. I'm puzzled.
>>223417222Same request but it doesn't have to be deep and meaningful. What is a max comfy movie to watch? I am craving an 80s/90s movie vibe that's chill but also good. Fantasy, Scifi, period pieces stuff like that.
>>223428919Samurai Fiction
>>223428919Watch some John Woo films. I always got a comfy vibe from something like The Killer.
>>223428919Van Gogh (1991).
>>223428919A Better Tomorrow + A Better Tomorrow II + A Better Tomorrow III
The new Godflesh is great.
>>223428368it's okay.>>223427907soft skin is good.
one of the biggest plagues in cinephile communities (and also musc communities) is people substituting a lack of critical abilities for an increasingly arcane knowledge of obscure filmsthat a particular art film is popular is enough for it to be dismissed, and that another isn't popular is enough for it to be welcomedthe vast vast VAST majority of these collectors would never be able to explain why it was worth your time
anyone have the huge /film/ chart?was making my way through it and my laptop broke
>>223429772YOU MUST BE ABLE TO CRITIQUE THE FILM. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO THIS. YOU WILL ACT LIKE IT IS A SECRET PUZZLE ONLY YOU CAN DECODE. YOU WILL UNLOCK LE DEEP MEANING!!!!!
>>223429986you have demonstrated my pointtreating the ability to actually speak meaningfully about something as an arcane practice is very telling and VERY american
>>223429772>>223430033Is this all just because literally two anons pushed back on you calling out the blocking on that Black Narcissus scene?
>>223430033>btw im eurosoyfucking kek faggot we know
>>223430282Shut up Catfag.
>>223429772They just wanna find the le obscure 5 ratings Congolese New Wave film to obsess over and overrate to shit. On RYM it seems like every two weeks you got some no name forgotten band like Pachinko suddenly getting into the top 500.All of this is much better than poptimism, thoughbeit.
>>223429023A Better Tomorrow is my go to comfy Jwoo. I first saw it on a rainy night with chocolate milk few years ago and it’s been amongst my favorite viewing experiences for a film ever.
>>223430863What an incredible soundtrack
Any swiss kino not made by Alain Tanner?
>>223431023I watched it because I saw the Chinese beaver meme first. I thought that song was in the actual movie and got excited for the scene. I love the movie to death but the fact that it doesn’t have the song featured in the Chinese beaver video is my biggest disappointment with ithttps://youtu.be/zUkR6chwtOo?is=cIBOX9xg4Dv7hw4t
>>223431176Rapt (1934)
If you smeeeeell
>>223431228Added, thanks.
>>223431587You are welcome
The taste of the average /tv/ poster is so fucking bad it has unironically destroyed whatever little sliver of faith in humanity that I had left. It legitimately fills me with despair.
>>223432430But my taste is better than yours, so it saved you from despair. Cry tears of joy!
>>223432430I don’t even look at the rest of this website besides the occasional tranny porn on /gif/, but desu I’d rather go to Reddit for that.
>>223429772That is basically everyone here.
>>223428919Seconding >>223429023 and >>223429115
Should I watch Decision to Leave or No Other Choice tonight? Second question, what did I think of this?
>>223433910Decision to Leave
>>223433910>Jhong HilarioFucking filipino names, man...
>>223428259Feels like Chinese cinema has meaningfully improved (notable considering CCP's obnoxious influence) while Japan and Korea have regressed for decades
>>223434268Land of Broken Hearts (2024) is still criminally underwatched (at least in the west afaik)It's like a whimsical Fallen Angels (more enjoyable imo)If you've also ever fallen in love with someone you hardly know and they disappeared from your life but you never stopped trying to reconnect, that movie should hit close to home
>>223434374>It's like a whimsical Fallen AngelsIf you're trying to make us watch it you're doing a terrible job.
>>223434434Idk he got me with the last part. I’ll probably watch it when it gets colder.
>>223431228hated this one but I liked that Ramuz himself showed up for a small part
>>223429772Neither are ideal, but I'd personally take snotty, misguided elitism over the rest of the /tv/ catalog where 35 year olds talk with gusto about Harry Potter
>>223436262victoria who
>>223436302She was the unofficial extra member of the Wong Kar wai regulars in the 90s. She did movies with Tony Leung, Brigitte Lin, etc when they needed an extra person for the role of a main character.
My entire redditboxd friends list has rated The Odyssey 4 stars or more. They all saw that spastic, disorganised editing and thought yep, that's at least an 8/10. Great.
>>223436302Why are Libtards unhinged enough to send death threads to a famous Womg Kar wai actress?
Is this thread stuck in 2016 or something
peeping this 1970 french tv Wilkie Collins adaptation and you know what, maybe a dreary autumnal landscape is all you really need
>>223434374>>223434434My bad, I was thinking of Chungking Express. Not sure why I said Fallen Angels. It's like a whimsical Chungking Express
Truffaut was the Luc Besson of his time
ugly manlet never made a good film in his life
>>223436991Gigabased. Maybe I do like Truffaut.
>>223436909been meaning to check out some other Joseph H Lewis films after seeing that one
>>223437353This one, Gun Crazy and The Big Combo are all great. Couldn't connect with My Name Is Julia Ross but it's also well regarded
>>223436924Luc Besson has ten times more ambition and imagination than Truffaut
>KPop Demon Hunters Criterion Collection Spine #1333
>>223438093Holy trvth nvke…
SLUT
foul mouthed Swedish films be like>slut
I've been informed the Devil is a woman
I just feel like loving people all the time.
>>223436991Reminder that he's in hell (and that P&P at their worst are ten times better than him at his best).
>>223440291Every single good filmmaker is in hell right now
>>223438093Holy kekLuc Besson is bssically retarded.
Angloids still seething about the Truffaut quote lol.
>best British filmTimeless historical epic, nuanced takes on European colonialism, white saviour complex, a compelling yet critical biopic, acknowledges it's unreliable source material, landscape photography that has never been surpassed, quintessentially masculine medium-defining masterpiece. A named favourite of the highest grossing directors in history.>best F***** filmA woman smoking and being a whore. Schizophrenic editing. Camera seemingly operated by a trained chimpanzee. Nothing actually happens.
>>223440471
>best British filmsMade by a Jew from New York >best F***** filmPicrel
>>223441183Losey wasn't a jew though, nor was he from New York.
>>223441204Kubrick. Technically space odyssey, Barry Lyndon, full metal jacket, eyes wide shut are British coproductions
>>223441204He was a Midwesterner who studied under Brecht's wing in New York, so his point still stands
Has anyone seen picrel? I thought it seemed interesting, but I'm not on any private trackers, so I'm having a bitch of a time trying to pirate it. Wanna know if I should just leave it be.Sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask.
>>223441399leave it be.
>>223441399I've seen the OG Streetwise, it probably mogs this new version.
>>223441183Sexcuckdawgfag, is that you?
>>223441784It's obviously him
Pretty women make movies so much better
>>223441867what are some movies
>>223441947avengers endgame
>Carax returns>now AssayasWhen's Claire Denis having her own Hollywood comeback vehicle
>>223442008a french movie with american actors is still a french movieannette was a weird franco-belgian-italian-mexican-japanese coproduction, most american thing in it was adam driver's ugly face
>you know remember High Life (2018)
>>223441784Ever since my letterboxd got shadow banned I don’t play into the sexdawg character anymore. I’ve taken on a new persona but I only stop by for a few minutes here and there and leave.
>>223440471Truffaut never grew out of his edgelord phase. A true enfant terrible. Besson is just a gooner. Subway and his Dracula were okay I guess.
>>223442429It sounds like you are doing well. Is this true?
>>223440360True. Retards aren’t necessarily hacks, but they usually only have the potential for 3 or 4 good films max. After that, if they continue to make films, viewers will see right through their facade and recognize the limits of their heart/mind.
>>223442590All is good. Thank you for asking anon. Seen anything good lately?
>>223442703Nadja was good. I’ve actually watched a few other good films recently but already shared them so I’ll go with that. I’m glad you’re doing well!
>>223442749>Nadja was goodBased.
>>223442703If I’m not feeling a film too much, certain scenes from Accattone start playing involuntarily in my head. This is so cute. Look at the little kid smiling to the left right before one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema, in my opinion.
>>223442229I find Mia Goth to be a captivating actress but most of the stuff she's in doesn't really grab my attention
>>223442787I need to catch up on Pasolini. Medea is one of my favorites but Salo turned me off to him a little. But I do want to get back into his western classics films like Oedipus Rex and St Matthew. I also need to add Accatone I see.
>>223442884>Medea is one of my favorites but Salo turned me off to him a little. Understandable. I feel like you’d enjoy Accattone. I hope so.
>>223442803Can't stand her voice.
>>223442695Who is a retarded filmmaker who is an exception to this maxim i pulled out my ass? I love a good retard, but im not sure if i can think of too many off top. I’ll go with Lynch. Perhaps, I too should practice TCM.
>>223442998I am sure I will enjoy Accatone since I do enjoy his directorial style a whole lot. Here is the filmography link for Pasolini just in case there’s something in there you want that you don’t have. https://www.google.com/url?q=http://transfer.it/t/vGv0exo1DJbT&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1790544940163884&usg=AOvVaw0ernkb6xltr_Y67iQ0o_aa
>>223443057Thank you!
>>223443096My pleasure
>>223443052I wish to retract this statement. I could never call Lynch or any filmmaker I respect a retard besides for a few that aren’t him. I gotta go.
I have Trintignant fatigue. This guy had no moderation whatsoever, quite happy to play a dopey everyman in literally everything. I kind of can't stand him now.
Trintignant Derangement Syndrome
>>223443280The Great Silence yo
>>223443280Nah he's kino
>>223443052>Who is a retarded filmmaker?Besson, Anderson, NWR, Kotcheff, the list goes on. There's based retards (NWR, Kotcheff) and retarded retards (Anderson, Besson), the difference is the based retards are based, and the retarded retards are retarded.
>>223442803Terrible actress. A total nonentity, just like Shia.
>>223443382>AndersonWhich one?
>>223443280about as much sex appeal as Slim Summerville
there's a based retarded Anderson and a retarded retarded Anderson
>>223443410I count 3 (Paul Thomas, Paul WS, Wes)
Borzage makes me want to be religious
>>223443434I forgot Wes
>>223443395The Resident Evil one. He's 50/50 on the based / retarded scale, kind of a master of the dao, an enlightened filmmaker.
>>223443446What a great sequence. How can anyone not be in love with old films?
>>223443404>Who’s the Slim Summerville of Slim Summerville?Slim Summerville
>>223443994I've always hated this woman and her hideous dwarven head. Of course R*vette is in cahoots with her.
>>223444073She always looked mtf
>>223444073y'aint wrong (she's good in the Pialat joint though)
Sandrine Bonnaire is a beautiful woman.
>>223444339>PialatYou mean Chabrol>>223444403Trvth
>>223444338especially in this movie jfc >>223444415
>>223444415Lmfao.
Sandrine Boner lol
Good southern kinos for real Americans?
>>223444600Deliverance
>>223444600Jean-Pierre Melville's L'Aîné des Ferchaux
>>223444600The General
>>223444403>>223444415Agreed.
>>223444749You know that s/he's the one on the left, right?
>>223444633>>223444644Is this a defreckled Huppie or am I being deceived?
>>223444808Those pics are from Ferreri's Storia di Piera and she's pretty freckly in that. It's just foundation/concealer.
>>223444600All the Tennessee Williams adaptations.
Huppie is arguably peak with minimal foundation/concealer.Her freckles drive me c r a z y
Being a Huppertfag without having seen any Chabrols is like calling yourself a Toshiro Mifune superfan without having seen a single Kurosawa, or saying you're a Liv Ullmann fan while being unfamiliar with Bergman
I hope to find one (1) other person who appreciates The Blair Witch Project as a groundbreaking, innovative work of genius that belongs on every top 100 of all time list, and not just a horror flick with a gimmick.
>>223445047A Streetcar Name Desire sucks ass. Vivien Leigh is unbearable.
I think literature does Southern Gothic better than cinema. Faulkner is obviously the GOAT, but Flannery O'Connor and (early) Cormac McCarthy are great as well.
>>223445479Try /hor/.
>>223445581I doubt he'll find what he's looking for there.
You ever wish you could just go back? Just be a brain dead slop enjoyer once again? Shit your pants over the latest star slop? Make it your personality? Fill your pants with piss over capeshit? Simpler times?>as for me I’d RATHER FUCKING KMS
>>223445647He certainly won't find it here either.
>>223445270What if you became familiar with Ullmann through her directorial works?>>223445695lole
>>223445679I was never that so there's nothing to go back to.
>>223445679I like plenty of horror films. I like RoboCop (1987). Do they count as slop? I love p-worded b-worded nonsense but I think I'd go insane if I only watched arthouse.
>>223445679Nobody here was that. Go back.
are you a shabishinbou?
>>223445744Something something arthouse brain something something classics heart.
Baking,
Hmmm... arigato, Naruse-san edition... so desu ne...
>>223445710>What if you became familiar with Ullmann through her directorial works?Most of them were written by Bergman so....
Anyone watching Cowboys vs Ravens in Brazil?
>>223445823>>223445823>>223445823
>>223445479It is completely groundbreaking in concept, but the execution is like a 6/10. 3/5 film.
>>223441867Especially if they have guns.
>>223445550It's kinda fun watching Brando put her in her place.
>>223427117I look like this and do this.
>>223445715>>223445749>At age 14 I already knew spiderman was gay. My focus? The french new wave
>>223445744That stuff is cool too. You’d have to be even more of a pretentious faggot than I am to not admit it
>>223446123Just take the L. It's more dignified.
