>I’m not sure what I was expecting going into the movie, but a cross between a Roland Emmerich disaster movie and John Cassavetes’ “Opening Night” was definitely not on my bingo card. Iñárritu acknowledged the “Opening Night” influence both in the film and in the Q&A, but for that rat-a-tat dialogue, he pointed back to the Hollywood comedies of the 1940s. “When we were together at Pinewood, we screened ‘His Girl Friday,'”

Just watched Il futuro è donna (1984), thank you to the anon who shoved me into it. The movie clicked when I interpreted what the allegorical characters represent.

Malvina (Ornella Muti) represent feminism, Anna (Christopher Walken/Hanna Schygulla) represents status quo liberal women, and Gordon (Niels Arestrup) represents a phony ally.

Early on Anna is living her usual life until she notices Malvina in trouble. She hesitates but an inner sense of justice gets her to help Malvina. Malvina enters her and her boyfriend's (Gordon's) life and right off the bat creates some friction in Anna's and Gordon's traditional relationship. Gordon does his best to accommodate these new ideas for Anna while fearing losing her to Malvina, and only does so when he gets to be intimate with Malvina.

Two scenes in particular stood out to me. First one being when Anna and Malvina go out to a club at night. Malvina is pregnant so Anna stuffs some clothes under her dress to make herself look pregnant. They enter a club of mostly men and have a good time. They're mostly treated well and accepted by the men around with some jerks here and there.

The reason this scene felt significant is when you think of the club as an allegory for a patriarchal society. In such value system, a woman's worth is dictated by the relations with the men in her life. The seed of a man made Anna and Malvina valuable in that world. If they were yass queen independent girlbosses who don't need no man, i.e. if they rejected the patriarchy, they would've been treated with less dignity.

The second one was the concert scene where trouble arises when a mob storms the concert hall through police resistance. Gordon, wearing a Che shirt, immediately attempts fleeing the scene but Anna and Malvina beckon him back. I just thought that detail of the Che shirt really made it clear that he was a phony, considering what Che represents. Mind you, he didn't start wearing it until Malvina had integrated into their lives.

>Anna's and Gordon's traditional relationship.
Gordon was entirely submissive to Anna in their relationship, it's even commented upon in the beginning, that's not a "traditional relationship".
>phony ally
Guy literally gave his life trying to protect them, and that comes in a moment where their threeway relationship is at its most "harmonious".

I like how it kind of ends in a circular way too, we begin with just Anna and a man who's submissive to her (and in a very mother-child dependant way), and we end with just Anna and her new man/child (a baby boy - submissive to the mother).

What do people make of Criterion's new Carax restorations? I've only loaded the SDR Boy Meets Girl disc so far but it seems to me the aspect ratio stretch loses more information around the borders than it gains enough I question if it's actually more correct than the old US Carlotta release. Also, the picture is much darker with information lost in some areas - black crush? I'll be curious to see whether any upcoming euro release of these new 4K jobs looks any different.

Man, Joe Pesci is such a cool guy. If I had a 10th of his swag I'd probably bag prime Nicole Kidman.

>>223518689
I respect the audacity of casting actual cops and protesters and letting them improvise their lines, but the acting is pretty silly. And perhaps due to the lack of a traditional screenplay the politics felt too jumbled for it to be a coherent pièce-de-résistance (although I'm a big fan of the scene where the rookie policeman guns down one of the protesters and isn't able to articulate or explain his actions). The editing is what elevates it for me. I firmly believe Watkins is the greatest editor of footage since Eisenstein.

>Ideologically, he belonged to that company of film-makers, but morally he didn't take part in their games. Why do I say that? Because a director who had gone through it all and been broken by the demands of the time, who had started to make films about the kolkhozes, said of him that he was an enemy. Just like that. Indeed he was distrusted by all his colleagues, for what he had done? What did By the Bluest of Seas amount to? In our epoch of construction, with all its serious and weighty problems, what's all this about a wave which sweeps a woman into the cabin of a boat? This really has nothing to do with reality!
