/ahg/ - Arthouse General

if its the Louis malle movie, I watched the first 15 minutes but never finished it. It looked interesting like you said, but it was a bit boring. And before you call me low attention-span, I loved my dinner with andre

Enjoy, I guess

>kind of aimless but i liked the photgraphy
should be the tagline of this thread

Generals don't work unless the people posting in them are really autistic and enjoy talking about the same thing every day (see: /ffg/) or the subject is very very popular (see: /trek/).
This thread seems like the one of the very few on the board that isn't spam or shit-flinging so I hope it sticks around, even though I've heard of barely any of these films. It's nice to go to Yea Forums and actually learn something for a change.

>It's nice to go to Yea Forums and actually learn something for a change.
go to r/truefilm and feel that way every day

No one wants to read giant blocks of text when a sentence or two could communicate your point just as well.

I'll continue to shill Castaway on the Moon even though it's sappy bullshit.

so we're just gonna call every asian movie arthouse?

Rewatched El Sur recently, one of my favorites. It's a tragedy that Erice didn't make more films

Not long unless the condescending fuckwits here start loosening up and stop pretending they're on reddit

Maybe there should be a pastebin with film lists/graphs, it could help newfags out who want to evolve into cinema connoisseurs

That's one of my favorites too. Fantastic lighting. I also appreciate that, between this and Beehive, Erice understands how young kids actually behave.

Whoever the user is that suggested Ruined Heart (2014) yesterday, thanks. I ended happy and a little heartbroken. Great Flipkino.

This isn't Reddit, or the YouTube comment section a.k.a. Reddit.

normie pleb, fuck off, you're not welcome here

you're a faggot lol

There are a couple of scenes which made it (at least to me) feel like the most accurate representation of dreams on film
You can read feminist symbolism into it but I thought of it more as a surreal fever dream

>Feminist symbolism
The okay kind or the nu kind.

watched Tsing Ming Liangs Rebels of the Neon God yesterday and was kinda underwhelmed. It just seemed like a less interesting Wong Kar Wai movie. Are his other films better? I like a lot of slow films (Solaris, Eureka, anything Weerasethakul) so that's not the problem

>but I thought of it more as a surreal fever dream
what a fucking cop out
why do people always resort to this
when they don't understand something after 15 seconds thought they jump straight to "oh well I saw it as dream logic anyway, interesting surrealist approach to filmmaking"
just
fuck
off

be better

I don't know what to call this trope but I really fucking love it when they recreate paintings in movies about painters.

What was your interpretation because outside of the feminist angle I didn't see much in it.

never heard of this when was it made?

i dont wanna sound like an asshole but a lot of anons here make this appear like asian art house general instead of art house general.

Would like more talk about european art house cinema.

>Would like more talk about european art house cinema.
so go back to 1962
european cinema is dead and buried

Then do it dickweed

I think the whole house was a representation of self, the man and woman being the anima and animus and the old lady the super ego. Criticizing the ideological feminism that makes one see genders as opposed to each other, rather than an union. Also calling out some seeing traditional femininity as trite, old fashioned, shown when she opens the sewing drawer and a snake comes out. The ongoing war and constant squatting in front of the radio, showing how the extreme news only titillate the person, while simultaneously turning them more cynical as was the case with the old lady. Unicorn? Could've signified the midlife crisis or some other form of temporal spiritual awakening.

I was gonna watch that one next if I gave him another chance. Gonna dl it now, better be pure undistilled chinkkino

Did anyone see this? The movie is so close to being great, but too scenes are poorly filmed in a way that feels lazy. Like the camera man said fuck it, and decided to do entire scenes while standing in one spot in the room, shooting from his shoulder.
Than there's the constant dramatic zoom in and out... why would you do this? It's even more jarring because sometimes you get another guy who actually gave a fuck, and does a fantastic job.
It's a shame because there's so many great scenes mingled with bad ones, and it seems like Luchino Visconti cared far more for some scenes (gay Nazi party) than others (funeral for the patriarch), and the movie really suffers for it.

fwiw i enjoy his films but i don't think they're as good as the best of wong kar wai or weerasethakul

i want a bluray of this film in my lifetime

What arthouse movie is peak aesthetics?

Attached: 1550290801817.jpg (1834x3000, 1.08M)

I'm coming around to this perspective to a degree. I believe Lynch was coming around to video as its own thing with Lady from Shanghai and Inland Empire. Sorry, language fails me right now as I'm tired as shit after work - check out Lo Premio Nuestros guys, airing right now on Univision. Hartley also did a film using video aesthetics, Book of Life, and Michael Mann to a degree with Collateral. Video has its particular merits that I do (yet) think degrades the artistic merits of a movie, even if it's trying to achieve a film look. It's the evolution of cinema that seems to be in question here.

My favorite Cronenberg. Funny how Existenz was basically a Videodrome remake with updated tech.

In terms of what? Women? Literally anything French.

on that note we're all in agreement that inland empire is lynch's worst feature length film right

Nope. I'd say that goes to either Wild at Heart or Dune, both are entertaining enough in their own right but are eclipsed by his other efforts.

His recent art exhibits, though, are quite dire. I Was A Teenage Insect? Ouch.

Anyone read Room to Dream? Pretty insightful bio/autobio on Lynch. I had no idea Mel Brooks was responsible for hiring Lynch for The Elephant Man.

I don't know about just like Lilya, but some great Ruski kino:
>Mirror (1975)
>Stalker (1979)
>The Color of Pomegranates (1969) [this one isn't bleak]

the cranes are flying and freeze, die come to life

Literally let the right one in (muh it's not a girl)

Someone on Yea Forums recommended a relatively obscure Soviet film to me long time back which seemed to be about a bunch of young people trying to make the best of their lives in a bleak industrial town. I told myself I'd watch it another time and I thought I had the name bookmarked or written down somewhere. Wish I could remember its name. The only thing I remember apart from the cast being young people in an industrial Soviet town was that it was from the late 80s/early 90s. Anyone have any idea?

anything more particular to nail it down? color or b&w? comedy or drama? had you encountered this title before or was it super obscure? when were you recommended the movie, rough estimate?

assa (1987) or brat (1997)?

Just watched 13 lakes by Benning because of the last thread

I don't get it
