With garbage like this getting paraded like a classic while kino like La cité des enfants perdus or even Malle's other Zazie dans le métro get cast aside as popcorn flicks it's no wonder so many despise French cinema by default.
>>211867287None of Malle's films are paraded as classics. In cinema history he's known only for, one, Les Amants obscenity case that contributed to loosening of cinema censorship in America, two, Pretty Baby narrowly escaping child pornography charges.

>>211875545What's it about?
>>211875030nta, but I watched First Contact (1982) and Wara Wara yesterday and finally passed 30% on my trip around the world. First Contact was a pretty interesting little documentary about Australian gold miners being the first outsiders to come in contact with the people of the interior highlands of Papua New Guinea. it's mostly retellings of stories, but one of the goldminers brought a camera along in the 30's, so there is plenty of actual footage/pictures of the first encounters as well. it's less than an hour long, so check it out if you're interested. 7/10. the restoration efforts behind Wara Wara are sadly more interesting than the film itself. it's a fine silent film from Boliva, one of only a handful made and the only one that has survived to my knowledge, about the Spanish conquistadors destroying the Incan empire, but then one of the conquistadors and the Incan princess fall in love. pretty bland story that relies too heavily on intertitles. there were a few fun shots sprinkled in, but overall it was just alright. 6/10

Schrader in general is not very good as a director, and the only thing which really is as good as they say about Mishima are the visual aspects of the film; other than that, it's mogged by pretty much any other classic movie.

Porumboiu choosing Peele's Us randomly is really funny.
Odd choice of Guiraudie, this film specifically felt like half assed satire on his part, possibly weakest Guiraudie film period.
The Irishman too, that was absolute Netflix slop, awful direction, borderline incompetent. I thought Scorshitty went senile, but Killers of The Flower Moon was directed fine even if I did not like it either. The Irishman is just bafflingly bad, I don't know why anyone likes it and how the hell it got any praise.

>>211876455To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Schraderian kinography. The Calvanist guilt is extremely subtle and will filter Pakistanis without a solid grasp of Dryerian lensing and staging. Then there are Nastassja Kinski's nude scenes, which are deftly woven into the plot. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these films, to realise that they're not just kino- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Schrader truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the tragic irony of Cat People's final scene which itself is a cryptic reference to Bresson's Transcendental epic Pickpocket.
>yes I played Bill in Bill & Ted and directed Smosh: The Movie how could you tell?
He did make Freaked which is comedy-kino.
Bad Luck Banging or Looney Porn is meh tho, Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of The World was better. And in general Radu Jude made other better films like Aferim, Everybody in Our Family.

Schrader never made a good film. Mishima is ambitious and interesting, but not very good. A rare example of a film being less than the sum of its parts.

>>211878685Early Cassavetes is rough and experimental, he's probably the only filmmaker that I think should be approached non-chronologically. Start with The Killing of Chinese Bookie, follow chronologicaly starting with Minnie and Moskovitz, then return to Husbands, Faces, Shadows.
Pialat is an heir of the French naturalist tradition of Renoir, Pagnol, Gremillon, but also shows strong influence of Bresson's austere anti-realism. If you're comfortable with Bresson you can probably watch Pialat head on, but it wouldn't hurt if you know your way around Renoir's 30s output.
Antonioni you probably already know a lot about, but in case you don't, it is necessary to watch his alienation trilogy before Red Desert in order to get used to Antonioni's unique emphasis on form, composition, shape and line because in Red Desert all of it is overlaid with astonishing abstraction of color.
>>211879353That was the webm that tricked me into watching that joint. I think Nakashima might unironically be the worst "big" director of all time in the game.

The yellow colour on the screen of the symbolic “gold” shots was achieved by inserting a “filter” into the light beam of the projector at the appropriate times. After some experimenting, a 5X7 frame was used to hold a piece of theatrical “straw gelatine”; this was placed about 2 feet in front of the projection lens. Bruce Young, a member of the House Committee cued in the gold filter just as records are cued in for the music scores. When Greed was first made, the prints and the necessary sections printed on positive stock of the correct colour. Such small details as gold teeth, gold bars of the cage, etc. were coloured by hand as 35mm film was slid along a long work table while an assembly line of girls painted the various details.

This documentary investigates the underworld of modern eunuchs in America. Each year in the United States hundreds of men voluntarily choose to be castrated and reinvent their sexual identity for reasons other than sex reassignment. Who are they? What are their motivations? Is it legal? Should men have access to such an irreversible surgery on demand? To answer all these questions American Eunuchs profiles several key characters. In Philadelphia we find Dr Felix Spector, an 84 year old doctor of osteopathic medicine, who has performed castrations in a semi-legal environment for three or four patients a week on average between 1998 and 2001. No questions asked. Credit cards accepted. This documentary also follows George, a pet groomer who is married with children, on the day of his surgery in Philadelphia and several months later at his Maryland home in an attempt to understand his motivations and the impact of the surgery in his life. “Gelding”, a eunuch himself and guru to the pseudo-community of castrated men, will tell his story and demonstrate a variety of techniques to castrate animals and men during a calm and lucid conversation by the pool in his house in Florida. The last part of American Eunuchs will take the viewer to the heartland of America. In Joplin, Missouri, Jack, an illegal cutter explains his reasons for risking several years in jail to perform illegal castrations in motel rooms. Does Jack represent today’s version of a provider of back alley abortions? The documentary reaches its climax with Michael, one of Jack’s patient/victims Michael’s sad and moving story raises several issues and forces the viewer to reflect upon our society, the medical system and the complexity of human sexuality.
Guiducci and Sacchi pointedly identify these anomalous males as American, and in the referencing of their subjects’ altered male bodies, the filmmakers also offer commentary on a broader concept of Americanization, particularly the way in which “America” circulates as a master signifier of wealth, progress, freedom, and modernity.
As one piece of evidence testifying to the film’s lack of gender subtlety, participants on the Eunuch Archive, an Internet support site for those wanting to discuss castration, consistently pilloried the documentary as ignorant and exploitative. One posting by BK/Paolo (2004) argued that the film is “damaging beyond words. It has undermined everything that the Community has worked for since the boom in the Internet with the Eunuch Archive. It is also nothing more than a slap in the face to people like me. I am reminded of the 1930’s film ‘Freaks,’ unfortunately. In the end, that is what this all boils down to—men who want to be, or have been, castrated—portrayed as freaks for the enjoyment of the masses. These are real people that the producers have ‘played with’ and degraded by editing for the sake of the sensational.”
A response to BK/Paolo’s thread written by SquirmEWorm spoke of attending a public screening at which Guiducci was present. The “tone of his comments made it very clear how he felt about the eunuch community,” reported SquirmEWorm. “On the way out the door, I asked him if there was a eunuch community in Italy. He said no, not that he knew of, but. . . .And I walked away from him. He also said that this film wasn’t making them (he and his partner) rich. That must be a big disappointment for him, since that was obviously their sole goal.”

>>211894650>Vortex Amour is better
>>211894899It's the opposite for me. Haneke is ironically too cynical. Noe is a moral edgelord. Haneke is a posturing moralfag who doesn't care. Which is why his sentimentality feels posturing as well and doesn't fit at all the style. Noe's formalism on the other hand is perfect for the subject matter, the film really feels often like you're trapped and confined within a mind scattering, and it's all done with a thing as simple as split-screen and editing with "blinks". That's basically it, it's the most simple Noe film yet most affecting. These dialogues are completely transfromed with the use of split screen, it's especially genius how he splits the screen often in shots which would have been singular if done in a wide aspect ratios. But he still creates distance even when characters are next to each other. I was totally blown away. Dario Argento was also phenomenal in the role, didn't know he had such acting skills.

Luca is such a fucking shitposter.
In American Eunuchs, George expresses a version of Plato’s creed for the supremacy of the mind through reflections on the castrated body: “I guess everything you would do at this point would be based on your personality, ’cause there’s no testosterone rush, or being a tough guy sort of thing. . . .Decisions now are made completely thought out, and I feel pretty cool about that part, you know, it makes me feel in a sense that you’re reaching perfection because you’re not making decisions based on an emotion at the time but actually a calculated process. If that makes sense at all.” Reflecting on this new rational state, George brandishes a faux samurai sword (a large wooden stick), slicing it through the air and vanquishing an invisible opponent. “You know, how many people would know how to draw a samurai sword, smash a head, wipe off the blood?” George says while acting out the execution described. George’s implication suggests that the cacophonous message of chemistry and desire formerly manufactured within the testicles made it impossible to function rationally in the world. Now, free of male body chemistry, George can lay claim to “manly” pure reason, even while reinforcing a fantasy of masculine dominance through blade and blood. It is perhaps more telling than George imagines that an ersatz samurai sword functions as the avatar of masculinity, since Asian masculinity has itself so often been associated with what David L. Eng (2001) describes in Racial Castration as a place of absence commonly linked to the exotic and orientalized feminine.
Michael seeks the help of the burly J. R. for a nullification surgery, a procedure that eradicates all of Michael’s male genitalia. J. R. works as a personnel recruiter, a pastor of a church, and a part-time cutter. He self identifies as gay, wears a black ski mask during his interviews, and boasts an enormous gut (again solidifying the conflation of embodied excesses and moral depravity); by the documentary’s close, we are told he has been convicted on charges of obscenity and child pornography. Both Michael’s wife and his family are more comfortable with nullification than with a vaginoplasty, Michael tells J. R. in a postsurgery heart-to-heart, because, “The real issue for them is the gender issue and not what I choose to do with mybody.” In this respect, it is “okay to take away, but it’s not okay to create.”
I have written my first screenplay, of sorts. Its an alternate script for Psycho (1960), which I believe is flawless until the murder happens and then it goes full retard. In my story Norman isn't a psycho, just a weird misanthropic incel. It plays out like more of a cat and mouse psychosexual thriller between the two main characters. I think it would make for a much better film.

the spoof genre (when done right) is not only the peak of comedy, but also the highest IQ form of comedy.
>pre-required viewing
you have to watch certain movies within a genre, usually the ultimate kinos. which is like doing homework. only smart fags do homework. it also makes you more informed about the genre in general
>comedic timing
everything from acting to onscreen chemistry to the editing to the lighting has to be PERFECT in order for the joke to fully land to it's fullest potential. any group of comedy nerds can come up with hilarious jokes, but having actors that can EXECUTE those jokes is an entirely different thing.
>editing
hate to repeat myself, but the editing in these movies has to be IMMACULATE. literal academy award-tier knowledge of the cutting room is required.

>>211900173All bad, they are too orchestrated and constrained by pandering to low IQ Americans, with Team America just being South Park in new colors.
The peak is Hot Times (1974), Fritz the Cat, Heavy Town, Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat, Swap Meet, Jennifer (1978), Fulci Direct to VHS films, Baby Geniuses 1-5, Which Way Is Up?, Cooley High, Full Body Massage, Wildly Available, Glen and Randa, Pelvis, A Matter of Love, David Holzman's Diary, My Girlfriend's Wedding, Monstrosity, Graverobbers, Karate Dog,
The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat is so brilliant because it is a spoof of a spoof. Like Comparing Austin Powers to Baby Geniuses 5 in spoofing crime films. Come on now.
>>211900585Airplane is pretty good.
Walk Hard bad
Spinal Tap terrible

>>211910480>When I first saw Citizen Kane (1941), I was certain that never in my life had I loved a person the way I loved that film.Truffaut haters are the same people who think Citizen Kane is 7/10.
>>211910619I didn't say he had bad taste.
>>211910753And, as a Truffaut apologist, I'd actually say he did. His insistent reliance on American cinema is what kept him from becoming a more interesting artist, the few films he made in the purely French tradition are fresh and exciting.

>>211897626what's the extension called?
I'm looking through an encyclopedia of films and filmmakers and it's full of absolute bangers of opening lines. Some examples.
On Schrader
>While it is doubtless fanciful and recherché to read Paul Schrader’s movies as unmediated reflections of his own life and feelings, it is nonetheless true that the director/screenwriter’s ‘‘religious fascination with the redeeming hero’’ echoes his extreme fascination with himself.
On Nicholas Ray
‘‘The cinema is Nicholas Ray.’’ Godard’s magisterial statement has come in for a good deal of ridicule, not by any means entirely undeserved.
On Chimes at Midnight
>...among Welles scholars, by contrast, Chimes at Midnight is often accorded pride of place as ‘‘the fullest, most completely realized expression of everything [Welles] had been working toward since Citizen Kane.’’ Partly such praise can be understood as admiration for the fact that Welles managed to make the film at all.
On Celine and Julie Go Boating
>Umberto Eco has suggested that a key factor in a work’s status as a cult object is its disjointedness, which allows viewers or readers space into which they can project their own fiction-making skills. This partly explains why Rivette’s loose, baggy fantasy is arguably the only genuine cult film of the nouvelle vague.
