>>223496692>Iâm not sure what I was expecting going into the movie, but a cross between a Roland Emmerich disaster movie and John Cassavetesâ âOpening Nightâ was definitely not on my bingo card. Iñårritu acknowledged the âOpening Nightâ 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. âWhen we were together at Pinewood, we screened âHis Girl Friday,'â

>>223495143Adult films directed by women tend to be fundamentally different, which also applies to the nuance and style of it all
>>223509444lol reminds me of that pretentious hack saying how Revenant was his Tarkovsky movie. He even stole shots from it. Itâs funny how he keeps copying other styles since he clearly has no creativity to craft his own.
>>223509601Biutiful was his masterwork, everything else is between decent and shit
Just watched Il futuro Ăš 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.2000

>>223511158Please be serious for a moment.
>>223511177>Christopher Walken/Hanna Schygullalmao
>>223511283This pronoun thing is really getting out of hand.
>>223508714>/wacky/ditionBased. I'm gonna replace Dune with Daisies on this.
>>223511386A rare movie where Ornella Muti's sex appeal is contested and the contender being Christopher Walken is something I could have never predicted.
>>223511576The Taste of Tea (2004)
>>223511177>Christopher Walken/Hanna SchygullaI just saw something he starred in so I was stoked at such a coincidence, until I realized you were taking the piss jej
"Schygulla" is really an awful name for such a beautiful woman
>>223508714>QOTDit's not very funny but I still like the general vibe of some pals goofing off in the wintery woods of Vermont (slightly homo)some Luc Moullet films are sufficiently /wacky/ as well
>>223511713They call me The Card Bastard
Liquibrap bro reporting in. The braps have not improved but i donât want to go to the doctor. Kinos for this feel?
I'm in awe at how much better Czechoslovakia was at cinema compared to the rest of socialist republicsPolish cinema in particular feels like stunted toddlers imitating their neighbors

I've missed out on so many movies I don't know where to begin
>>2235128793 Bad Men
>>223512178La Grande Bouffe (1973)
>>223512901Do you have anything slightly more contemporary?
>>223513241
>>223511177>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 allyGuy 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).
>>223513260Cheers anon, I'll check this out.
>>223511177>>223513315And i guess you could also see Malvina as a Terrence Stamp in Teorema like character, that's something i thought about but i'm not sure of it.
What's with the anon who keeps recommending 3 Bad Men?
>>2235132413 Godfathers
>>223513366I think it's beautiful and want people to watch it.
>>223513366he's a dreadful individual
>>223513460Go fuck yourself.
>>223513447I'll watch it then, you seem like you're sincere and not just doing an annoying "comedy" bit like these clowns are always doing around these parts.
>>223508714Going to watch the 7 hour soviet epic of Leo Tolstoy's novel War and Peace by Sergey Bondarchuk. What am I in for? I have not read the book

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.
>>223514728Criterion shit the bed again?
new woodyslop is coming
Finna about to drop another 2 hundos on yugioh anime cards. Frfr.
>>223515252As you should. I saw a guy with a Red Eyes Dark Dragoon framed inside of his phone case one of these days.

>>223515525This lil nigga did it for me. Never could beat the game, the last Kaiba RNG was brutal with the Raigekis and the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon every other turn.
>>223515588I never beat the game either. It was just way too grindy. And I think I also got stuck somewhere in the modern world tournament part of the game. The ancient Egypt parts of the game were the most fun.
>>223515326In which film's discussion was this posted on? I only ever hated on Leaud once

You know why I'm better than them? Because I'm humble. I know I'm just a chiropracticer. The CIA, those guys in black? They think they're above that, they think they're real professionals. Anyway, time to die.

Some nice footage and explanation of how that parachute scene was done:https://youtu.be/SuMJz0guUnM

>>223517258A regular, non castrated cat.
>>223517447Yes.
>>223517454Imagine taking a shit on a cat
>>223517588That'd show 'em who's boss
>>223517454So a soprano?
Thanks for the suggestions for those who participated. I tried to include everyone's choices. This is an updated wacky film chart.
>>223518054I still don't understand exactly of wacky means in this case.
>>223518170He means the sporkcore, lolrandom, xd type of cinema.

Man, Joe Pesci is such a cool guy. If I had a 10th of his swag I'd probably bag prime Nicole Kidman.
>>223518689I 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 piÚce-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.
>>223518849What do you consider prime Nicole Kidman?
>>223518953To Die For (1995)

>>223518953birth
>>223519119That's messed up. She was a baby then.
>>223518054/fakewacky/>>223519133Birth is a 2004 film.
>>223518953Idk, actually, she was pretty hot since 18 to like that LVT film, but I think her prime could be said to be Eyes Wide Shut. Just such a fucking sexy bitch... that whole movie just oozes sexo.
>>223519736Which release does she look sexier in? Old blu ray or the new criterion, still havenât watched the criterion bc Iâm scared criterion shat their pants on yet another film.
Kidman was really hot in Babygirl
>>223519866Got no idea, the last time I watched the film it was one of those print rips however they're called, the ones that are like a 100 GB of size.>>223519877Idk man, the plastic surgery botox look is too much for me.
>>223519866Old.
>>223519877You're really hot, Babygirl. mmmmmm
>QOTDBoudu Saved From Drowning
>>223514728>>223514744>>223515879Urrrrgh please tell me I'm just biased in favor of the release I'm already familiar with, but Mauvais Sang appears to be piss filter'd?
>>223520466Criterion shit the bed again.
>>223520533Literally ruined the entire movie for me. Itâs supposed to be a cold watch, not a steamy one.
What did Ford mean by this?
>>223520466>>223520533Fucking hell. Remember when they used to be the gold standard?
>>223519948t-thanks...? >////<>>223520694nowadays they're the gold standard in color grading only hehe
>>223520694Their collapse is imminent. Itâs over for them.
>>223520764Never, bullshit like the WKW boxset where that chink went and shat all over Doyle's work will keep selling out during every sale thanks to Letterboxd fags
>>223520947This true, they're still extremely popular with "filmbros" and "arthoes", and they know it and do their best to cater to those people.
I'm a male arthoe
Left eye still twitching. ClearMucusShitAnon and i will probably die at the same time.
I'm a /film/bro.
>>223520694>mfw ill probably buy it when itâs on sale anyway get that piss in my eyes
>>223520947A fellow Doyle supporter I see. WKW is nothing but incest and Iâm le cool. I love da Hong Kongonese doe, and would never refer to them as that.
not sure whether to go see Digger, Thousands of Beavers or Dressed to Kill (1980) tonight. i will go to wherever you recommend
>>223522543dressed to kill
>>223521221You gonna sell that dick for a real one. Iâll pimp you out! Well make a lot of money, Iâll give you a place to stay and you can get high as you want as long you work hard!
>>223522543If you mean Hundreds of Beavers, then that. Fitting for the /wacky/dition.
>>223520466And here's Les Amants (the KL was the existing best release, Carlotta never did that one). I don't hate the colour grade on this one but again there's quite a bit of information lost at the edges of the frame, no horizontal stretch this time but a slight zoom in.
>>223522610Bitch, you got herpes in yo ass! Every time you fuck a nigga, he dies fast!
>>223522863Actually, I am surprisingly sti free. God has protected me. If you donât wanna make money, and live a nice life thatâs fine. I got a few men and women who will unironically. My mother helps me run the business unironically. Iâm done talking.
Pasolinimaxxing! Always be pimpin!
>>223522543My sleepy ass mind didn't see the "or" and read Thousands of Beavers Dressed to Kill (1980) which sounds fucking awesome
>>223522539Happy Together and 2046 are pretty good, and WKW deserves some credit for being one of the only people who could tolerate someone like Doyle. After all, his work outside chink films is basically just two Guys Fag Sant films and Lady in the Water (a masterpiece).
>>223523294Itâs more than that, and you know it. Happy Together was shot by Doyle and 2046 (also Doyle) was not good. I like those other movies you listed.
>>223523086I got a thousand latina hoes working the streets. In a few years, I'll have ten thousand.
>>223523512Then why are you always here, CRgay? I only come here when my yn is sleeping.
