>>212568920Indeed. Is Wings of Desire required viewing before this? I see she's not in the first one.
>>212569322 (OP)Fairly interesting soundtrack actually. They do seriously like 10 reiterations of whatever Blondie song they wrote for the movie I forget which.
Finally, a good edition. The swamp is been drained.
>>212569322 (OP)Can someone explain to me how American Gigolo is related to The Walker? On Wikipedia it says it’s “bookended” by it. I’m not sure what that means.
what was the last Quebecois arthouse film you watched?
Midyear Reckoning 2025
>Demons at Dawn is Julián Hernández’s morning-after romance, a rebuke of the walk of shame that embraces a careerist couple’s need for love.
>Eat the Night is Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel’s tale of Millennial siblings who discover the difference between physical and virtual experience — a timely, fully felt tragedy.
>The Empire is Bruno Dumont’s awesome answer to Star Wars. Decades late, but it’s never too late to correct pop trash that neglected mankind’s need and desperate search for spiritual sustenance.
>The Friend is Scott McGehee and David Siegel’s class-conscious lament for how urban sophisticates (Naomi Watts, Bill Murray, and a Great Dane) deny but can’t escape spiritual obligations.
>Henry Fonda for President is Alexander Horwath’s epic documentary-biography. Revealing a Hollywood star as a Marxist icon challenges the way we view American pop culture.
>Henry Johnson is David Mamet’s response to Hollywood and theater’s new liberalism — a disquisition on lawfare, abortion, masculinity, and the carceral myth that is progressive America.
>>212569836Bon Cop, Bad Cop.

>>212569722Wings of Desire is essential viewing period, and the much better film of the two if I'm being honest. She's great in FASC as usual so its at least worth a watch for that.
>>212569778Who do you think baked this one retard :)
(This is the only (You) I'll ever give you btw)
>>212569863>Marcello Mio is Christophe Honoré’s metaphysical answer to Horwath’s political project. Actress Chiara Mastroianni’s comic pursuit of the identity of her father, Marcello Mastroianni, eventually connects us to the soulful legacy of her mother, Catherine Deneuve.>A Minecraft Movie is Jared Hess’s venture into video game territory. Full of buoyant imagination and good humor, it combines eccentricity and innocence for a deserved blockbuster comeback.>Misericordia is Alain Guiraudie’s latest surreal satire of a community’s moral and sexual hypocrisies — a social analysis that exceeds Hollywood sanctimony.>The Phoenician Scheme is Wes Anderson’s study of the era’s most confounding figure, an industrialist (Benecio Del Toro’s Zsa-zsa Korda) whose actions affect his family, assassins, and the world. An homage to Mr. Arkadin, it also rebukes TDS.>The President’s Wife is Léa Domenach’s tribute to Bernadette Chirac (Deneuve, again) that finds musical, comic, and trenchant ways around all the conventions of political celebrityhood.>When Fall Is Coming is François Ozon’s redemption movie. Grandmother Michelle (Hélène Vincent) survives her scandalous youth, and her generosity shockingly reproves the guilt of the next troubled, culpable generation.honnestly, not very good recs from Armond. Annd he still thinks Fall Is Coming has a positive ending lol.
>>212569322 (OP)You get to see Richard Gere's cock. In case anyone didn't know and is interested. Otherwise there's not really a whole lot of nudity. There's quite a bit in the opening scene and then like one more and that's basically it.
>>212569892Shit man, you're really seething (over nothing). Autodrain on.
>>212569833Schrader remakes Taxi Driver every 10 years or so. American Gigolo, Light Sleeper, The Walker, First Reformed the list goes on...

>>212576922Shooting on film gives things a certain texture, but a lot of the look had to do with how much planning when into each shot and how much rehearsal went into each take. You had to really think things out and know your stuff back then. Scarfiotti and John Bailey were both masters of their craft so those two films look particularly great.

>>212576922Sarah Gadon says:
>"It’s tough to do period on digital, because it’s not film. We’re used to seeing that era shot on film. Of course, digital can now sometimes pass for film, though not always. When you shoot things in super-wide deep focus, it still looks really odd. That’s why a lot of period films shot digitally tend to look the same.”

>>212576930Here's a closer look at Sarah Gadon in costume wearing a CUTE pink vest with her western outfit.
Thoughts /film/?
>>212579988The movie is an adaptation of the Louis L'amour novel Flint.
>Flint left the West at the age of seventeen, leaving behind a rootless past and a bloody trail of violence. In the East he became one of the wealthiest financiers in America--and one of the most feared and hated. Now, suffering from incurable cancer, he has come back to New Mexico to die alone. But when an all-out range war erupts, Flint chooses to help Nancy Kerrigan, a local rancher. A cold-eyed speculator is setting up the land swindle of a lifetime, and Buckdun, a notorious assassin, is there to back his play. Flint alone can help Nancy save her ranch...with his cash, his connections--and his gun. He still has his legendary will to fight. All he needs is time, and that's fast running out....So /film/ are you ready for Sarah Gadon to save the Western genre?
>>212579988The brown woman is not a good sign
>tfw The Shrouds is finally releasing in my local theatre
Has anyone here seen it? What were your thoughts on the latest Cronenberg photographed philosophical teleplay?
It’s the last joint of his I need to watch before I’ve watched 100% of his films so I’m also excited in that regard.
>>212577923Mediocre flick
>>212580318Which was your favorite of Croneberg's Sarah Gadon films?
Cronenberg is basically the biggest Gadonbro. We might not have all the Sarah Gadon kinos we have today if he hadn't cast her in her first dramatic acting role.
>Being cast by David Cronenberg in A Dangerous Method. Meeting David and working on that film changed my career in many ways. David has been and remained an inspiration, close collaborator and friend ever since then
>>212580484Cronenberg is such a Gadonbro that he also acted in the show Alias Grace with Sarah Gadon just because she asked him too!
>I actually asked him to be in Alias Grace, as an actor. And he took one of the parts that they offered him, so I got to act with him. It was kind of amazing because he’s been such an important figure in my career and he’s been a part of every career-changing project I’ve ever done. So to have him working creatively with me was really special.
>>212569863>>212569931Minecraft and Dumont's Empire literally feel like the same exact movie, I'm not kidding.
Most of those are 2024 movies, but he always defined those lists by US release date.
FRed Lavinge belongs in the shkreets and his films belong in the trash.
>>212580348Nothing with a Bernard Herrmann score can be truly mediocre
I might actually watch the Sarah Gadon western.
>>212581286>generic direct to streaming westslopWhy tho
>>212581347Name one thing generic about it.
>>212581372The plot is literally just a less interesting version of Once Upon A Time In The West, and I doubt it will have direction and a soundtrack 1/10th as good.
Hey gadonfag, I'm told if you burn a mixture of urea, lye and charcoal it smells just like Sarah's perfume! Breathe deep!
Gadonsneed is seriously plugged in. I’m trying to find a trace of this western movie online and there’s literally nothing. No imdb no nothing. Is this a FRed Lavinge production???
>>212580484Maps to the Stars but her best performance was in Cosmopolis where I believe she mogged Robert Pattinson, who was not convincing at all.
>>212580623In this house FRed Lavinge is a hero. End of story.
>>212581860Whatever you do, DO NOT TRY THIS, i did it and now i'm chinese.

>>212581872>I’m trying to find a trace of this western movie online and there’s literally nothing. No imdb no nothing.Here's this
https://m.imdb.com/news/ni65229319/
The rest of the cast hasn't been officially announced. But I found out Sarah Gadon's in it by checking Instagram for posts that have tagged her (which is do daily) and then see who's tagged that person and so on until I've found most of the cast and crew out.
>>212582141Screenshott'd and sent to her so she can get a restraining order :)
>>212582141Based GadoNardwuar. I’m glad you aren’t using your powers for evil.
>>212582230>I’m glad you aren’t using your powers for evil.Right…
>>212577923Bottom 3, definitely. But it's an interesting failure, disoriented by Truffaut filming in England and in English, damaged by Werner's diva behavior and overwhelmed by Roeg's formalism.
Times you acted like Roman Polanski?
>>212569892Do you fear death?
>>212582736We’re all drunken transvestites here.
>You film with a history behind you. It’s hard to film as if Dreyer, Murnau and Lang had never existed. But I never think of antecedents as I film a shot; I couldn’t. I don’t have a cinephile background. My cinematic culture was formed late. When I was eighteen, nineteen, I’d only seen regular films like The Guns of Navarone (1961)—which, by the way, I liked a lot! But I had an urge to make films and, in the course of my studies at INSAS in Brussels, I discovered three films a day, seeing things that I had no idea existed. I remember Moses and Aaron (1975) by Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, that was a blow, an aesthetic and political shock. I still recall it today. Suddenly—cinema.

>>212581286I unironically wanted to watch North of Normal but couldn't find it in decent quality and when I asked gadonfag about it he just told me to buy it. Fuck him.
Why is there almost no Austrian cinema ?
>no early/classic films
>no new wave
>no contemporary
Seems like such a wasted oprtunity for some absolute kinos, since Austria is one of the most culturally rich countries, good taste for aesthetics, rich history, beautiful settings and location both urban and rural
RIP Bruce Lee
RIP Yusaku Matsuda
>>212583889Angst is a super influential classic from the country.
>>212582971The Guns of Navarone mogs Moses and Aaron, what an insufferable fgt
>>212583598The re-release where he says "Hallelujah!" instead of heil hitler was seriously hilarious. I wonder if he knows how funny he is or if he's just truly a detached loony.
>>212583889Filmmaking is an industry and some countries just can't support one. There's a reason Micky Hannicky makes French movies.
>>212569517surprised that Schrader went with the Pickpocket ending with this one. Since the twist, as obvious as it is, makes the ending feel fake and hollow.
>>212584542FYI the twist is that Richard Gere is a fag and only likes to seduce women because it's more challenging.
Maybe it's an ironic inversion of "yeah babe this jail time will bring us closer, for sure".
>>212584623lmao i never seen this movie, is this real?
what a fucking hack
>>212584672>male prostitute>not gaypick one
>>212584672He fucked up; Gere is not a fag, and the "challenging" part is actually a part of why he likes women so much. Schrader is actually not the best of directors at all, but this movie is unironically a masterpiece. Mishima is overrated as all fuck btw.
>>212584672there's also another twist of who the bad guy is but it's very obvious too. It's a character movie rather than a mystery movie.
Better than the twist of The Comfort Of Strangers tho, which clashes with the tone of the rest of the movie.
>>212584725>I know why I cant give you pleasure, Richard Gere, and you know it too>Shut up baby, dont even talk about that
I am sick of movies
I am going to stop watching movies now
>>212577923No, his masterpiece is Mississippi Mermaid.

>>212583654Fuck you for even considering it
>>212583598I always knew 9/11 was a piece of art.
>>212588984>In a press conference in Hamburg on 16 September 2001, Stockhausen was asked by a journalist whether the characters in Licht were for him "merely some figures out of a common cultural history" or rather "material appearances". Stockhausen replied, "I pray daily to Michael, but not to Lucifer. I have renounced him. But he is very much present, like in New York recently." The same journalist then asked how the events of 11 September had affected him, and how he viewed reports of the attack in connection with the harmony of humanity represented in Hymnen. He answered:>Well, what happened there is, of course – now all of you must adjust your brains – the biggest work of art there has ever been. The fact that spirits achieve with one act something which we in music could never dream of, that people practise ten years madly, fanatically for a concert. And then die. And that is the greatest work of art that exists for the whole Cosmos. Just imagine what happened there. There are people who are so concentrated on this single performance, and then five thousand people are driven to Resurrection. In one moment. I couldn't do that. Compared to that, we are nothing, as composers. It is a crime, you know of course, because the people did not agree to it. They did not come to the "concert". That is obvious. And nobody had told them: "You could be killed in the process."

>Recent advancements in neuroscience and brain imaging techniques have provided new insights into how the human brain processes and responds to visual information in films. Neurocinematic research methods, such as eye-tracking and functional MRI, allow researchers to study the cognitive and emotional responses of viewers in real-time, offering valuable data on how specific cinematographic techniques affect the brain.
>For example, studies have shown that the use of close-ups and facial expressions activates the amygdala, a region of the brain associated with emotional processing, while the use of establishing shots and wide angles activates the parahippocampal place area, a region involved in spatial recognition and navigation. These findings suggest that different cinematographic techniques can selectively engage specific brain regions, influencing the viewer’s emotional and cognitive experience.
>Furthermore, research has also explored the concept of “neural synchronization,” where the brains of multiple viewers show similar patterns of activity when watching the same film. This synchronization has been found to be stronger for emotionally engaging and well-crafted films, suggesting that effective cinematography can create a shared emotional experience among audiences.

>>212591386For sure. People who have no interests outside of films are just decadent people, they're like an ouroboros, gorging on themselves. And it's quite boring. Quentin Tarantino's movies, I can't stand them because it's just films about films. Movies that are about themselves! It's grotesque to me, it's like watching cannibalism. Didn't Orson Welles rail against directors who watch too many movies and don't have real life experience? If I had millions of dollars I'd find people who have never seen a movie before and get them to make a moobie so we can see creativity unchained from conventions or schizo kino or both. Isn't that called outsider art? Well!

>We recorded electroencephalography (18 sensors), facial electromyography (corrugator supercilii and zygomaticus major), photoplethysmography, and skin conductance in 21 participants while watching and evaluating 8 short films (4 dramas and 4 comedies). Also, we used machine learning (CatBoost, SVR) to predict the exact rating of each film (from 1 to 10), based on all physiological indicators.
>The results showed that ratings did not differ between genres. Corrugator supercilii activity (“frowning” muscle) was larger when watching dramas; whereas zygomaticus major (“smiling” muscle) activity was larger during the watching of comedies. Of all somatic and vegetative markers, only zygomaticus major activity, PNN50, SD1/SD2 (heart rate variability parameters) positively correlated to the film ratings. The EEG engagement indices, beta/(alpha+theta) and beta/alpha correlated positively with the film ratings in the majority of sensors.

Any Griffithchads know the best version + score of this masterpiece and where to find it? The "Twilight Time" bluray seems to be the highest quality transfer with a recreation of the original score, but there doesnt seem to be a high quality rip of it available (and they sell for ~100 on ebay since it was a limited release). I'd buy it but I want to know if its the definitive version. Apparently there was a Kino Lorber release too but idk much about it.

Do you guys ever bail on movies? I'm watching L'important c'est d'aimer right now and almost falling asleep (i'm tired as fuck), you know when you blink and two minutes pass? Just paused it to brush my teeth because i'm pretty sure i'm gonna fall asleep, the thing is i'm not enjoying it anyway and i have no desire to continue it when i wake up.

Which Greenaway flickerama do I go for first
Was thinking of watching The Belly of an Architect
>>212615269I bailed on On the Silver Globe because I hated it so much.
>>212615351>The Belly of an ArchitectNah. Go with Drowning By Numbers or The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.
>>212615269Bailing is a very strong temptation when watching Zulawski flicks, but still, we must go on (for completionism's / pseud's sake).
>>212615806>The CuckNot interested
>>212617534such a guilty pleasure Hitch for me, i know it's ridiculous but i get swept up (one might say... spellbound...) each watch

>>212615269I'll start doing something else but keep it on in case it gets good later.
>>212609508Do you guys pretend this is a good movie when there are real black people, white people in blackface who are supposed to be black (in the movie), white people in blackface who are supposed to be whites in disguise, and just dark skinned white people where you can't even tell what race they are when its central to the plot of the movie. Trainwreck.

>>212620668What's your opinion on Cassavetes' Shadows
theres a film review website called little white lies that also publishes a magazine
im just wondering does anyone know whether any of their magazine issues included any articles about the film under the skin?

Finally have dipped my toe into classic Japanese cinema with picrel. The visuals and the sound were spellbindingly gorgeous, but I found the plot of most of the stories really, really thin. I get that these are folk tales and are necessarily "schematic", but e.g. the first story was 3 sentences worth of story inflated to 40 minutes of footage. It was a fascinating viewing experience regardless, but in terms of story it did feel like treacle at certain junctures. I'm planning on going through the Kurosawa period classics and Onibaba next, any other recs?
>>212622825An Italian, a Puerto-Rican octaroon and a black man play siblings. You'd appreciate the irony.
>>212620701they don't make'em like they used to
>>212623925Good-lookin' dame.
>>212620668Regardless of plots and content, Griffith's importance is that he pretty much singlehandedly invented the language of all modern cinema, the way all movies have been made ever since
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institutional_mode_of_representation
People get no points for inventing things that are intuitive to all humans. I don't care about whoever was the first guy to start a fire.
>>212623281If you're new to Japanese films Kurosawa's period classics are very likely to turn you off honestly. Watch his neo noirs first, a bit of Ozu and Mizoguchi, and more folk horror if you like it.
>>212624196I watch The Giant Claw for she
>>212624389You say so and yet there are still people eating every with their fingers to this day like savages.
Yeah like without Welles no one would have ever figured out you can move the camera and have the whole shot in focus. Welles even said bluntly that filmmaking is trivial but filmfags still insist without the genius of Griffith, Welles and Godard we'd still be watching static, linear silent pictures in 2025.
>>212625014>you can move the cameraKarl Freund already made the camera go whoosh all around before that, in The Last Laugh and Variety
>>212625014fun fact: nobody moved the camera until 1989

When will zoomettes start to act in arthouse movies? I'm sick of boomer actresses in these threads.
Snood should be in the next von Trier movie so I can post her here.

You're all just lowly little brown kids lmao, pretending to know anything about arthouse won't make your skin less fecal
Why did Samira Makhmalbaf (pic related) stop directing films? Did the Iran Goverment put her in jail or something?

>>212615269Yeah, i bailed, this shit was laughably bad, especially what he was making the actors do and the use of music.

>>212626690Yes. She was cute but written like a complete bitch.

>>212629062>treat everyone like shit>get knocked up first time having sex>take no accountability whatsoeverIt took me actually watching it to get what you were saying. Great debut though and obviously ahead of its time.
Wow, these threads been incredibly dead. I have been as well, I'm not eating much, want to be thinner.
Anyways, watched Violent Cop and Boiling Point (2020) yesterday. The later really surprised me, I really love one shot films, any reccs, apart from Russian Ark?

we need more /film/fus in here
>>212632307Careful, you're gonna set off the schizo again.
>>212632307or should I say Nosfera-fu
>>212632499which one, there are so many
>>212632307>we need more /film/fus in hereIsabella Janny's already on the waifu chart thoughbeit.
>>212632636I've said it before, and I'll say it again: those charts are without passion
>>212632307Adjani's already part of the waifu collage.
>>212632692>those charts are without passionThere's nothing wrong with it though. Or is your issue the fact it's a chart to begin with?
>>212632499You really can't take criticism lol, been seething over people disliking your shitposting for like a week now?
Post the waifu chart i dont know it
>>212632773>Or is your issue the fact it's a chart to begin with?Kind of. It's clinical, almost sterile. Seeking out an image that embodies your waifu is more involved
>>212632795I'm still debating whether to swap out Lee or Adjani for Dalle.
>>212632883that's not even THE chart
>>212632021Kurosawa essential films apart from his most famous ones

>>212632883where is chika araki
>>212632883Lee, since it's the same anon.
>>212632883Honestly JConn is a more general /tv/ waifu and doesn't have a dedicated poster in here.
>>212633122we all moved to kdg
>>212632951I have no idea what chart you're referring to so feel free to post it.
>>212633109Yeah, nobody ever posts her.
>>212632883All due respect to Jake On but she shouldn't be there.
>>212633198I don't have it, it's basically a long list with images, dozens of women on it
we all have long lists with images and dozens of women on them here
>>212633109>>212633232>>212633246Love JCon but I may just do that to avoid pissing anyone off in particular as she doesn't have a dedicated poster.
>tfw didn’t Argentopost enough and now it’s Connellover
Goodnight sweet princess :’)
>>212633079You will pay if you remove Lee
>>212633619Lee and Huppert are definitely the next to go after JConn if a new anon brings his waifu to the table and starts posting her. They never get posted anymore.
>>212632883This is a future gravestone picture btw
>>212633844The point about Lee and Dalle is also kind of applicable to Huppert given that Harperbro is behind a lot of if not most of the Huppertposting iirc.
>>212634089Replace Huppert with Dominique Labourier (1943 - ????).
why is Brooke Shields in the graph……
>>212634131It's for waifus, not obnoxious, disgusting, busted whores.
>found out a local theater in the rich area of town does "culinary cinema" events

>costs $70
Bros, I think I'm gonna go to their Seven Samurai night. They haven't released the menu for it yet, but I've looked at previous nights and they served fucking steak.
>>212634131No, we’re all Bertochads ourselves.
>>212634376They will serve you a plate with rice only and the cooks will hoard the appetizer and desert for themselves.
