Our Lady of the Flowers

Why do so many people on letterslop hate this great film? Is it because they rather want to see filmed plays like the films of PTA, Scorsese, Chazelle, Villeneuve, etc

>>214052955
what about directors like Steve McQueen who are from the UK, but clearly not English/Welsh/Scottish/Irish? just put them as UK and split the rest?

>>214056544
This but 50% unironically

>>214056559
He's English obviously. Go by place of birth

>>214056544

I actually like it but in all honesty it is all sort of the same after the first striking scene. A bunch of monk-guys moving around outside, dragging Man around with them. I sort of want to re-watch it again now to review what changes during the later part of the film. IIRC there's a long shot of the monk-guys moving across the landscape that compares very well with the Seventh Seal shot.

>>214056559
What on earth are you on about? He’s English.

>>214056653
>>214056792
he's British, but not English

>McQueen was born in London on 9 October 1969
>He grew up in Ealing, West London

>>214056733
This film doesn't follow act structure like the aforementioned filmed plays by those hack directors. It's just a pure film using the imagery and sound to create a compelling experience.
>IIRC there's a long shot of the monk-guys moving across the landscape that compares very well with the Seventh Seal shot
Yes, that scene is inspired by The Seventh Seal. Merhige was inspired by artists like Bosch, Goya, Artaud and other filmmakers

>>214056937
PTA and Scorsese are among the best directors of all time. Chazelle did a great a film. Villeneuve's Dune series is the best space opera of all time. Check your pseudism.

>>214056937
Many films you disparage as "filmed plays" ammount to a more compelling experience than that 'Begotten' abortion.

Found this underwhelming. But I wouldn't mind revisiting it in the future.

Begotten was a play
It's literally a filmed play

pre 1987 spielberg is a director for 6-14 year old boys. after that he becomes the le occasional oscar bait hollywood director until 2012. since then his films have been absolute abominations, the 2021 west side story remake he did was visual vomit

Why is greek cinema so miserable?
Everyone knows that Greece - sun most of the year, beautiful nature, islands, wine, aesthetic ancient culture.
Yet this retard Angelopolous makes Greece looks like some shithole in England's - so rainy and ugly, snow in winter, people in coats, depressing.
You would think Greece would have more kino like Monella or something, some kind of chill funny kino about love of life? Am i missing some classics?

>>214058603
Never On Sunday, but it was written and directed by an american

>>214058603
Zorba, starred by a mexican and an englishman

>>214058603
That's life for you. It's also very hot in some places in Greece (Elefsina, for example), which goes to like 113 degrees in the summer with humidity between 45 and 75%, which I think is enough to make a nigga go MAD!
In recent years, the economy of the country has gone to shit and neo nazi groups have taken over Greece's politics, so I guess they're cooked. I think they're one of the most in debt countries in EU as of rn.

is there any risk of it given that all whorehouses in Athens are technically illegal?

>>214060044
For me it's the Critical Drinker.

>>214060098
Maybe, but I guess that's a part of common sense. I've been in a lot of whorehouses, but I've never seen something sketchy going on. I also just did a quick search for escorts in Athens and the girls looked hot and free. My advice is to look for independent girls, no pimp involved. You just know you're asking for trouble if you get into shady business with pimps, gangs, and the like. And yes, even in illegal whorehouses there are independent girls.

Sentimental Value is highly recommended, Trier has such a way of capturing complicated dynamics in poignant and understated ways. Some nice silences throughout too, movies are too loud and this is a happy remedy

Rewatched American History X: it's good but overdramatic, and the score is dated. Norton's acting at the end is a bit weird.

Seen other Fords before? Stagecoach, My Darling Clementine, Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Wagon Master all kino.

Fort Apache being the peak and barely surpassed by The Searchers. I still need to watch his non-western films.
P.S. The Horse Soldiers is underrated

films for a conceited soon to be 20 year old loser who is not accomplished and has no artistic achievements to his name and will never live up to his idols ?

>>214066863
Not really.
I'm on a western / old americana binge these days, so I wanna see some good pre-revisionist westerns, or really anything that is old time american. Should also look into some Griffith and old (pre 1930s) westerns, too.

Bump

We're all bumping here.

I liked the film, but I think it's a tad overrated. The day for night was terrible and the melodrama aspects were kinda slow and unnecesary. I'll look for better westerns. The desert scenery was gorgeous, though. A desert just like /film/ at night...

I want to revise my answer. Seeing Humoresque made me realize me that Joan Chandler should've been my classicfu all along. (Rope is my second favorite Hitchcock film after Shadow of a Doubt)

We're all realizing here.

> You know, he hired the production designer who did Guardians of the Galaxy 3 [Beth Mickle]. He went down that path with full intention, thinking, “This is the way big films are done now and I’m going to explore it.” he’s constantly frustrated by having to wait around for set-ups. The irony is that he’s the one who ordered and is paying for all of these expensive, flashy things that require so much waiting time. He prefers the tactile feel and immediacy of practical effects, but he found himself somewhat wedded to a process that requires much more planning and rigidity.
> But Francis is a legend and there’s a whole generation of these guys — Ridley Scott and Scorsese, too — who are like old generals. They need their army. But having that huge army requires a lot of planning, less improvising, and a lot of waiting around. I often wonder what it would be like to see those guys work on small films again. Francis still works in a very independent spirit, but doing so at this scale frustrated him constantly — and he was literally watching his own money burn every time he was stuck there waiting.
