List your obscure kino here.
I'll go first.
The Hourglass Sanatorium.

Soviet sci-fi has a certain charm to it, but it's a shame that they are all so low budget because it's clear they all had a lot creative ideas that they couldn't really film at the time.

>>212217346
True.
I find that in Konstantin Lopushansky's stuff. If only he had a bigger budget.

>>212217272 (OP)
Four Flies on Grey Velvet
Dario Argento's best giallo

>>212217447
A Visitor to a Museum was the exact movie I was thinking of when writing my post.

>>212217272 (OP)
Is this a Noita thread?

>>212217547
What is that movie about in your opinion?

Уничтoжить 30-й

Personal Favorite 90s soviet action movie

>>212217547
Lol, thank goodness I'm not alone then. I always felt the ending was a bit underwhelming. That might be the whole point, with all the silence of God stuff, but I don't know.

Most epic Russian crimial TV show.

Dude living in a post apocalyptic world going to visit a place where the last remnant of the old world is stored. I mostly just remember the torches everywhere and the weird industrial cult area. It's been awhile since I watched it, but I always thought the director would do more and add a bunch of crazy shit if he had the ability.

Eastern europe had a few kino machines.
Zulawski:
Diabel (1972)
Possession (1981)
On the Silver Globe (1988) - this one is half of the film though, most of it was destroyed by the polish authorities at the time

Wojciech Has (this is the one who did op's rec):
The Saragossa Manuscript
Memoirs of a Sinner (this might be incomprehensible if you have not read the book, I'm not sure, but it's kino regardless)
>The Tribulations of Balthazar Kobera

>>212217873
OP here.
Great list.
I'd also recommend Birds, Orphans, and Fools.

>>212217346
The Feasts of Belshazzar, or a Night with Stalin
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZf2qBZNUAY

The story is so fucking good. You dont even need to understand.
You can skip the 19 minute - to 1:15:00
This is just Gerogian music perfomring at Stalins headquarters in Abkhazia. Its not a movie about Stalin, but about someone who had an interaction with him in his youth pre revolution, and then realizing that the one who he saw commit a crime became Stalin.

O-Bi, o-ba: The end of civilization

>>212217272 (OP)
The nickel ride
Prime cut
End of days

Man of Iron

>>212217873
I wouldn’t call Possession obscure really but I love it anyways.

This is such good acting, nothing is said verbally its all in the face expression.
https://youtu.be/OZf2qBZNUAY?t=4723
You just cant get good acting like this anymore

>>212218031
1:18:32 mark

Potop (the deluge) is some prime kino, too.
I think it's the only movie longer than three hours that I have been able to watch in one sitting (it's almost six hours of pure kino), and not only that, I actually felt engaged for the entire time.

>>212217873
Look at the idiot calling Poland eastern europe

Golem

>>212218120
Literally everyone calls Poland that. Only Poles call themselves Central Europeans. And that's because they don't want to be associated with Russians.

I haven't been able to find it

>>212218096
Communists were so much better at making historical kino than right wing populists.

>>212217272 (OP)
ღრუბელთა თავშესაფარი (1928) aka Shelter of Clouds (1928)

>>212218250
Only good fucking thing to come from that film was Norm Macdonalds ripping on it

$7 million to make a joke.

Your mother and I’s sex tape. She’s so ugly and fat nobody ever wanted to see it. I still got up in there though. Just for you anon.

>>212218327
i never in my wildest dreams thought anyone would post this on this godforsaken forum, unfathomably based choice

>>212218144

Chairman of the BORED?? WHAT THE FUCK?
The movie looks hilarious! Did you see that old guy on the poster throwing his arms up in surprise? How can that be boring?

Screwed was such a great random movie. The movie cover is enough to know its good.

>Its so incredibly boring
did you see it? look at this board member at a beach party! haha hilarious! why would an old guy like that go to a beach party? so wacky

Genuinely funny comedy, gritty realism, and hard to understand pseudointellectual artsy shit. One of my favorite movies
