>60min one-shot
Neat-o. How would you rate it?
I can agree for the most part, but I'm also sort of a sucker for the girls he chooses and can sit through it again just for that.

When he was following the qtpie girl in the green dress it reminded me of the opening shot of Millennium Mambo. Quality filmmaking.

It's not just a 60 minute long take, tt's also in 3D.
The version that came out online is obviously not in 3D though.

watched pic related yesterday
it's so much lighter that I expected, it almost had a comedic tone to it
loved how Fellini makes the camerawork seem invisible. The characters and their movements are closely followed, and you don't even realize it

Probably like a 9. Only other films I'd say are comparable in 2018 were Burning, Shoplifters and maybe The Favourite. But I am a Wong Kar-Wai fan and this is right up that alley.

Yeah, can't speak to the 3D version.

>Burning
Oof and yikes.
>Shoplifters
I'll check it out then.

Giulietta Masina was amazing in that. Betty White in All About Eve good. I wasn't as impressed with La Strada, though.

>Chinese audience
>the same audience that praises Transformers
What were they thinking? The Chinese are the target audience for capeshit and Jack & Jill.

Watched Children of Paradise. It was ok, but not interesting enough to last for 3+ hours. I suspect the lasting interest in the film stems from the unique circumstances in which it was made, rather than its actual quality. There's nothing really bad about it (except the actor for Nathalie), but the script itself needs a lot of work. There's too many characters monologuing about nothing, with the first 45 minutes dedicated to introducing them. I don't mind slow films, and this one isn't slow, the issue is too many needless elements.
But there's a lot to love about it too. All the crowd scenes in the theater and the street are great, and the mime scenes are terrific.
If I could rewrite it I would focus it on the friendly rivalry between the two actors, or at the very least remove the count who never feels like a well integrated element.

I just came out of a very long period of only watching Asian kino and I'm kind of done with it, although I still have countless movies downloaded
After a while they all start mixing with each other and I don't know which is which anymore, only a few stand out as really original and memorable

CHINK'D

last chink kino I watched was Behemoth doc and Kaili Blues, recommend both desu

maybe you're just a cold heartless asshole

Yeah, I went through the same thing. Good idea for a marketing strategy.

user I said I want less chink kino not more, I'm not ready for another coal mining doc or sad asians wondering in the streets looking sad and hopeless flick

Kaili Blues was better

I watched Crazed Fruit last night, it's sadly been overlooked in film history, it shows a side of postwar Japan that was unheard of in the 50s; teenage drinking, fights, sex - it makes an Ozu film look like an alien world. Plus it has a sweet jazz soundtrack and some ingenious camera work, check it out if you're lucky enough to find a copy.

i watched eros+massacre yesterday and loved it, especially the structure/editing, but will probably have to watch it again to get a better idea. curious what others think about it. also, what yoshida (or comparable) should i watch next?

There's this:
rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3920748

Nice.

Eros+massacre is next on the list for me. After that it's the other two in his anarchism trilogy.

I've heard heroic purgatory is extremely difficult to watch due to needing an understanding of political landscape in Japan at that time

don't know why they didn't show the other footage of the bus going over the bridge afterward in this webm

long day's journey is kino though pleb

Yeah, i'm planning to watch that next

wow you guys like really boring films

Do you all think arthouse is just wong kar-wai and jean luc godard

Read the rest of the thread retard.

Most people are pleibeians without any real sense of taste so they just go off of others half assed opinions, like when people say You were never really here is a ripoff of Taxi Driver because they didn't get the movie so it's a shallow way to discuss a film they perceive as 'intelligent' without having to form thoughts.

Yeah, heroic purgatory is the logical one to watch next, and i am curious about it, so i hope it will be understandable enough. By the way, eros+massacre isn't really hard to grasp, but maybe you get more out of it if you read the wikipedia for the red flag incident, high treason incident and amakasu incident (unless you're afraid of spoilers). Not a necessity though.

>He thinks I don't like theatre

I have nothing but respect for O'Neill. It's not about the quality of the play. Separating itself from the theatre was one of cinema's most important steps in becoming an art form in its own right. Theatre adaptations are usually the least cinematic films of all, and therefore redundant and 99% of the time, boring.

i've always considered pierrot his best, but i would also accept breathless or contempt. i don't see how anyone could think vivre sa vie is better than any of those three, and that's coming from a fan of the film

Fair enough. I guess people usually like Benning for his landscape stuff (me too). American Dreams is really interesting though, like something someone like Hollis Frampton might've made.

I really like 20th century Benning but can't get into 21st

Recently saw Summer with Monika last night. I expected more. The story was a bit too obvious. Harriet Andersson was phenomenal in it, though. I read on wikipedia that a more salacious cut was released in the US. Has anyone screened that version? Is it just extended nude sequences? Anyways, it's not my favorite Bergman film.

Funny, I've tried to record it on TCM twice only a completely different film with the same name, Shame, about race relations in the US South, aired. Seems they have the two films mixed up. I've been viewing Bergman films on various free streaming services - Hoopla and Kanopy. Next on my list is Wild Strawberries and The Virgin Spring.

i guess you havent seen too many 2018 films if you unironically think it's the best

For me, it was High Life

Sorry but Ash is Purest White is.

I enjoyed the film. Maybe I am being too harsh. I just don't think it stands against what I think are his better films ofthe ones I've watched - The Silence, Winter Light, The Seventh Seal, Fanny and Alexander, and Through a Glass Darkly.

what's your favorite friendo
looking forward to this one
not quite Cold War level in my opinion

It's fucking trash:
>variety.com/2018/artisans/production/pawel-pawlikowski-cold-war-1202974518/
>After developing and scanning the Kodak 5219 film stock with colorist Michal Herman, they performed the grading on 35mm and found the look they were going for.

>“Then we decided to find an equivalent on the Alexa and master it to the point that it would be hard to distinguish it [from film],” says Zal. So, along with his team, he perfected a method to re-create the look of the 35mm images, both in terms of contrast and body.

>Once on set, they were able to put their plans into practice. “[We got] dailies and a final cut that were very close to the image we had wanted from the start,” Zal explains. “By reopening the blacks … or by playing on micro-contrast, the final round of color timing resulted in an image that I find very rich, that looks just like film, but that has stronger details in the blacks especially.”
If you want to shoot digital, embrace it for what is is, fine. But don't dress it up as film, as analog, and pretend otherwise. Grain is an inherent deficiency of film, and artificially adding this to digital reduces your image quality on purpose under the guise of aesthetic. Grading digital so heavily is no different than CGI - it's anti-art trash.

what online version? I've been trying to watch this for a while now.

Oh it's certainly not as good as his best work, but it is definitely a milestone in his career

>Grading digital so heavily is no different than CGI - it's anti-art trash.

based assessment

>Grading digital so heavily is no different than CGI - it's anti-art trash.
That's a rather juvenile perspective. The director was attempting to achieve a particular aesthetic and reached it using a method you personally disagree with. How does this degrade artistic value other than your personal opinion on methodology?

it's on private trackers atm so it'll gon on public pretty soon probably

If you want it to look like film, shoot on film.

It has been on public trackers for days.

okay, was just making sure that you're being unnecessarily irrational

v nice
vimeo.com/25253980

I'm not the same guy, but I don't see how that's being irrational.

my bad then, i don't really follow public tracker developments

Again, not a very astute perspective. If you can work around shooting on film with equipment more readily available, then grade the video so it appears no different than film because that is the aesthetic you are looking for, what exactly is the issue? How exactly does that make a film anti-art?

oh, documentaries. i personally place/rate those separately

the fact of the matter is, if you weren't told that it wasn't film, you would have had no clue

That's why context is important.

I fail to see how that devalues the movie.

It's like laminated flooring instead of real hardwood. Yeah, it's cheaper, but that's it. And it's anti-art when you attempt to pass it off as real wood.

Seen it before. Very good.
>i personally place/rate those separately
Low IQ behaviour.

Attached: unnamed.jpg (900x900, 77K)

you're being extremely pedantic

do you do the same with books?

Okay, that's a better argument. However, I'd counter with there is practical use for flooring while movies not so much. So if either film or video is used to depict narratives, and the aesthetic can be achieved by either, how is the artistic value degraded by using the more readily available method? Personally, I am not a film purist. I have no loyalty to methodology as long as the movie entertains or enlightens me in some way. But that's neither here nor there. I fail to find sound justification on using one method over another other than preference.

okay this is my last attempt at giving you something good you might have not seen (btw excellent taste)
imdb.com/title/tt0130730/
imdb.com/title/tt0109239/

The issue is that this so-called aesthetic is an inherent deficiency of film. Depending on stock and lighting and whatever other factors, when shooting on film you have to deal with noise which may negatively impart picture quality. So then to transfer this to digital is taking something that doesn't exist with digital, and creating it.
Secondly, with film you have a much more 1:1 representation of the picture. But with digital, as evidenced here, one can, and actually in all cases has to (because raw digital must be color graded), take liberties with the source when grading it. The end result become a digitally-produced frankenstein monstrosity that is made in-computer instead of in-camera.
And I take issue with proponents of digital claiming it's superiority when at the end of the day they're clinging to "inferior" film - it's pathetic, it demonstrates a lack of conviction. Because just like film looks the way it does, digital does to, and so one's inability to embrace it make me question why you're shooting on it in the first place. But then that's obvious, because if you read between the lines on all the merits of digital, above all one that stands out is merely cost and time (so cost). And few want to admit this is the reason why they shoot on digital.

Haven't watched White Feast. I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the response. Much better argument here. I'd counter again but have to run. I'll check another Art House thread later after I'm off work to respond properly.

>I am not a film purist. I have no loyalty to methodology as long as the movie entertains or enlightens me in some way
If you ask me, the process matters more than the end result. The problem with your line of thinking is the propagation of art as a consumerist product, with only immediate entertainment value being relevant. It's problematic because consider this: as computational power increases, and technologies like machine learning and AI do as well, it's not infeasible to consider a ML algorithm trained on film in some form. You already already have so-called "deep-fakes" than can product realistic video based on input, and we can create completely fake machine-created images of people (thispersondoesnotexist.com) that look real.

So somewhere down the line, a so-called director will put in their parameters, lets say "arthouse", maybe tweak some character or script settings, and the algorithm will output an entire original film with real settings and real people and real dialog that is coherent as any other film made by real people. At what point is this still considered filmmaking, and what is the artistic merit of this final piece?

Thoughts on films longer than 3hrs?
Is it gratuitous, or is it necessary?
Been meaning to watch Dead Souls but finding it hard to make time for it because I don't want to split it up
Longest I've seen thus far is West of the Tracks at 9hrs

lol

No film should be longer than 89 minutes

imo the optimal kino length, and i say this without any hyperbole, is 40-60 minutes

all depends on how it's paced of course. i've seen movies well over three hours that you would swear after watching were no more than two and i've seen shorter movies drag out interminably.

Artistic merit means nothing to most people so long as the aesthetic experience is there. People will adopt AI art w/o hesitation when it’s good enough and never look back as they’re treated to an endless supply of film in the style of their favorite directors.

can you watch it online? is it leaked?

Invite me to a pt

Bergman:
>“I’ve never gotten anything out of his movies. They have felt constructed, faux intellectual, and completely dead. Cinematographically uninteresting and infinitely boring. Godard is a fucking bore. He’s made his films for the critics. One of the movies, Masculin, Féminin, was shot here in Sweden. It was mind-numbingly boring.”
Welles:
>“His gifts as a director are enormous. I just can’t take him very seriously as a thinker — and that’s where we seem to differ, because he does. His message is what he cares about these days, and, like most movie messages, it could be written on the head of a pin.”
Herzog:
>“Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung-fu film.”
I think it's safe to say that Godard is the enemy of cinema.

I never found a decent version. Curious since a long time.

Amazing thread. Lots to watch and learn.
Keep going.

I love bergman's assessments about other directors in general
for example, on hitchcock:
>I think he’s a very good technician. And he has something in Psycho, he had some moments. Psycho is one of his most interesting pictures because he had to make the picture very fast, with very primitive means. He had little money, and this picture tells very much about him. Not very good things. He is completely infantile, and I would like to know more — no, I don’t want to know — about his behaviour with, or, rather, against women. But this picture is very interesting.
on welles:
>In my eyes he’s an infinitely overrated filmmaker… For me he’s just a hoax. It’s empty. It’s not interesting. It’s dead. Citizen Kane, which I have a copy of — is all the critics’ darling, always at the top of every poll taken, but I think it’s a total bore. Above all, the performances are worthless. The amount of respect that movie’s got is absolutely unbelievable
on antonioni:
>Antonioni has never properly learnt his craft. He’s an aesthete. If, for example, he needs a certain kind of road for The Red Desert, then he gets the houses repainted on the damned street. That is the attitude of an aesthete. He took great care over a single shot, but didn’t understand that a film is a rhythmic stream of images, a living, moving process; for him, on the contrary, it was such a shot, then another shot, then yet another. So, sure, there are some brilliant bits in his films… I can’t understand why Antonioni is held in such high esteem.
I don't agree with all of it, but still

Kind of a dickhead if you ask me.

For me it's either kung fu movies or spaghetti westerns.

I liked it fine but I feel like it really needed to be much, much longer for what I think it was trying to accomplish.
First half is kino, second half is rushed and clumsy.

Just passionate about his craft, probably. He's more positive about others:
>I liked Truffaut a lot, I’ve felt a lot of admiration for his way to address the audience, and his storytelling…. La nuit américaine is adorable, and another film I like to see is L’enfant sauvage, with its fine humanism.
>That is why Tarkovsky is the greatest of them all. He moves with such naturalness in the room of dreams. He doesn’t explain. What should he explain anyhow? He is a spectator, capable of staging his visions in the most unwieldy but, in a way, the most willing of media. All my life I have hammered on the doors of the rooms in which he moves so naturally. Only a few times have I managed to creep inside. Most of my conscious efforts have ended in embarrassing failure.
And on Fellini:
>He is enormously intuitive. He is intuitive; he is creative; he is an enormous force. He is burning inside with such heat. Collapsing. Do you understand what I mean? The heat from his creative mind, it melts him. He suffers from it; he suffers physically from it. One day when he can manage this heat and can set it free, I think he will make pictures you have never seen in your life. He is rich.

Projecting on Fellini?
What he put on words on Tark is probably the closest we can get to what one perceives watching it.

>One Cut of the Dead
I shilled for that 3 or 4 generals ago, glad to see you liked it

I've only seen Punishment Park and The War Game, but I thoroughly enjoyed both of them. I still need to watch Edvard Munch and La Commune

I watched The Firemen's Ball
Would make a great double conedy feature with Death of Stalin or Sexmission

not arthouse

Fair point

It’s a masterpiece. Check out Culloden too. I’m not as high on La Commune, but would not dissuade people from watching it.

It was shit

If the film is good running time doesn't matter. If it's bad any length is too long. If you can't watch a film in one go than watch it for several days like a tv series.

sup Rorscach

I think Welles is spot on

La commune is great. Check it out if you can.

Dead Souls is literally talking heads so I split it up in 2 4-hour sessions (it also came in 2 4-hour parts so that worked out rather well)
That's not to say it wasn't 100% gripping or amaIng, but I work daily, weekends included and 8 hours is a lot of time to invest in 1 day for me at this point in time
I prefer 60-150 mins generally but if a movie is good enough I dont mind it going down or up in running time by however much

Searching for a movie, it was a static black screen and nothing else, or something like that. Any idea?

The Brown Bunny only exists so Gallo could get his cock sucked by Chloe Sevigny. I'd say it qualifies.

The real reason you both don't understand why it's a good film is the fact that it's actually something new, this was the point of my original post. Plebeians cannot handle new things, they say they do but are infact very intolerant and afraid of new things, they need memes and shorthands to communicate ideas and more importantly they are unempathicand unable to relate to characters that express real emotions, they need to be commanded to like the character or he is boring, they need to be explained the point or it wasn't there. These people are shallow and thus their comparisons are shallow because they don't understand anything about either film except it's most surface details. Anyone with any intelligence can see You Were never Really here is one of the best films of the decade.

>Are there any other films by Peter Watkins that are worth watching?
Literally all of them.

Are you sure it wasn't a static blue screen?

Cope harder, pleb

This is real hot coming from someone who made soap-opera type schlock. What is Scenes From A Marriage if not " a shot, then another shot, then yet another" except replace "shot" with "scene" or "character monologue". You even have a timeskip in it but it's clear it was all shot in under a week - Bergman didn't care, all he wanted was to spew his characterization out one contrived monologue at a time.
And anyway, I've always felt, as far as directing his actors, that there's some similarities between Bergman and Antonioni. You have those sullen, prolonged emotional expressions in both their works.

Based capeshitter.

yeessssss love when all these pseud english majors get destroyed here

Either what others said or João César Monteiro's Branca de Neve, but that wasn't entirely black.

based newfag

Friendly reminder that the 'Capeshit' you plebs deride is far more entertaining / important than the boring ass flicks you retards are currently discussing in this thread.

based
fuck these pseuds

No one here cares about capeshitters' opinions.

is Persona (1966) the most technically perfect film ever? i also have no idea what really happened during the entire thing but was completely captivated until the end.

Always shit. Always.

Define technically

>Capeshit
>entertaining
I almost die of boredom everytime I try to watch capeshit.

Dude they're talking about sexy things but not showing them lmao bravo

Wait until you find out it's not based on the play, you absolute fucking retard.

And then the ending happens out of nowhere, as if you woke up from a dream that hadn't quite ended yet.

That sharp electric ringing and then total silence as the movie quickly fades to black.

*ahem*

Read the thread.

another cringelord who read one interview with PTA and thinks they're cultured
go back to wanking yourself off to sight and sound magazine ya pleb
and fuck you too guy

1523eee4bdc0b799de3207047949fc70402f57f9

Why would anyone need a PTA interview to know who Altman is? Are you literally retarded?

Its this one, thanks dude!

rosselini's historical movies are hot trash, if you rate them you're a complete pseud and probably wish you had a boyfriend

don't try to act like the only reason you and all your reddit ilk have heard of that classic is from reading PTA interviews. I see deeply into your soul, and all I see is cowardice.

>thanks dude!
holy fucking cringe

i mean i'm taking about altman flicks over here and you're talking about reddit and PTA. i think it's pretty clear which one of us is the pleb. and it's (you)

Depends on what you mean by perfect but, while perfectly crafted, I don't think it stands out compared to other similarly great films. I'd say The Man From London, particularly the first hour or so, is more technically impressive, in spite the awkward dubs.

Would Alita be considered as arthouse?

It's not made for the mainstream and it has themes about what it is to be human, by all definition it is

Close, but for me its
The Favourite

fantastic. life affirming. rave reviews.
me personally, I'd rather watch 80 minutes of cars passing by in a film rather than go out of my house at all ever.
I honestly really liked the ending

No.

No

Happy as Lazzaro was pretty good

fuck, it's me again I was JUST watching Holland, Man like an hour ago didn't even realize it was by the same guy
what are the chances

uhm sweaty it had a cinematic meta gimmick so you have to like it

thanks!

nothing with a budget that big has ever been arthouse

What about 2049?

Looks interesting. 4 hrs is fucking long though, better be good.

No but I fucking love it nonetheless

thanks user, i needed that laugh.

Verhoeven arguably made big budget art house.
Gore Verbinski as well

I would say spam /qa/ but mods don't read /qa/.

Rec me something with similar aesthetics to On the Silver Globe.

Letters from a dead man

has anyone read books about film theory? any recommendations?

Oxford book of world cinema is a good overview of the history of the medium

I recommend you get a fucking job

thanks

Where can I find Dead souls in good quality? Missed it at my local film festival last year and have been meaning to watch it ever since. Wang Bing's work in general seems hard to find :(

McKee's "Story" is solid.

Based. Absolutely loved it and my favorite film of last year besides The Other Side Of The Wind

What's good about it?

Yeah, Dead Souls where? I've been waiting to see if for months.
