Let’s have a Yea Forums art-film discussion thread

What are good french films and tv shows? Trying to learn french so watching that stuff will probably help.

>pleb's Barry Lyndon
Nah thanks

Just started Malick's Badlands. What am I in for bros?

Just finished Magnolia. Too melodramatic, but overall a great film. The frog scenario seemed a little poorly thought out though.

I need to watch that. I've seen The Thin Red Line and loved it.

Les enfants terribles
The beauty and the beast jean Cocteau
The grand illusion
The list is endless...

What do you mean you just started?

French new wave is where it starts.

Watching some Greenaway kino tonight

Three Colours: Blue (1993)
Le Feu Follet (1963)
Cosmos (2015)

I watched Antiporno by Sion Sono and really enjoyed it. Are there more fast-paced, energetic and short but still artistic and visually impressive films like it? I don't watch films much.

Lucio Fulci is great, City Of The Living Dead and The Beyond are my favorites from him. They tend to look really good and have an interesting surreal atmosphere.

Films that you explore the relation between literature and cinema?

It's pretty obvious what the relation is.

tarkovsky is so passe

Exactly

No I mean,the merging.

Under The Sun Of Satan is the most Yea Forums film out there

8 1/2 Felini

Vlacils' medieval movies. Marketa Lazarova and Devil's Trap are masterpieces.

Ordet and Joann d'Arc by Carl Dreyer. Great stuff, loved the screenplay

Also Bergman's Hour of the Wolf

Magnolia is great. I never actually saw the over dramatic angle that people always claim. I can sort of see it in Tom Cruise's performance and William H Macy's but PSH and Julianne moore gave some decent performances imo. I think the movie fits really well in the new sincerity movement which was its closest artistic context. Magnolia feels like a David Foster Wallace work but like...better.
I find watching older french films helps me practice. Less slang. I can understand Le Grand Illusion but if you put La Haine in front of me Im fucked.

I would reccomend Hideaki Anno's work specifically Ryusei Kacho if you can find a copy. Have you seen Love Exposure?
Maybe not what you're looking for but In the Mouth of Madness is in my opinion the most post structuralist John Carpenter movie

Just in case, I've been writing professional scripts for Pakistani/ghostwriting for a few western clients films for about two years now. Anything anyone wants to know? (Yea the industry is shit at the moment, imagine paying a Pakistani grad student to ghostwrite shit)

Never heard of it but it has a nice title. I'll check it out.

Watched The Maltese Falcon yesterday, it was fun and I hadn't watched a movie since avengers 2 weeks ago and like a month before that.

I agree. They don't have a good taste in films the same way Yea Forums has a good taste in books.

/film/ is a board some people on Yea Forums have been asking for for years. Practically separating capeshit stuff,shitposting,politics etc(Yea Forums) and actual film discussion.(/film/)

Just saw Phantom Thread. What happens in the end? Reynolds dies and Alma is thinking about the life she could've had? Is it up to interpretation?

Would it be a good idea to watch every Palm d'Or winning flm this summer?

Attached: golden palm.png (1140x280, 58K)

Yeah. Why not?

Ask yourself, would it be a good idea to read every Hugo winner?

I watch American movies to learn English.

This summer?

Nice trips.

That'd be like watching Oscar winning movies.

Would recommend
Les enfants du paradis
Renoir
New wave, especially Truffaut
Ozon made some nice films at some point
There are also some cool french comedy with Bertrand Blier

Hugo Awards are for sci-fi literature... how's that equivalent to the best film award in the world?

You know there's more than one film festival in the world, right?

Berlin, Venezia and Cannes are the three major ones. Cannes being the best of the three. All the other festivals not mentioned are memes.

Been watching Alatriste. It's overall pretty mediocre, but my hard-on for 17th century warfare was sated.

Watched Bergman's Winter Light the other week. As good as ever.

Right. Golden Bear and Lionare also prestigious, though not as much as Golden Palm.

earth by dovzhenko

Anyone have any opinion on what Stalker meant?

Synecdoche New York
Saw it recently and it was pretty good though a bit depressing

I think it's about religion. Scientist trying to destroy the hope of a common man to have a wish i.e atheism. Or it could be about technology, with the zone symbolizing the excess of technology.

Character or film?

Disregarding several uninteresting ones, I've seen some truly great stuff in the last two months. Mekas' Walden, Murnau's Sunrise and Stevens' Place in the Sun. I particularly have to recommend the last one, because it's formally a pretty standard classical Hollywood film, not attractive to pseuds like me and most other people here, but the actual story and acting are nearly perfect.

Film

What are you working on?

how did you learn to write scripts? any good books you recommend?

It actually existed for a while, but then it shortly got deleted. Type /film/ on the url.

Thinking of giving The Place Beyond The Pines a second watch.
To be honest, I started watching it because I saw that Mike Patton did the soundtrack (not gonna lie, I enjoy his work), but after 15 minutes or so I completely forgot about it, the narrative made it for me (at least when I watched it a couple of years ago).
In my memory it works like a snippet of American snippet of A Hundred Years of Solitude, minus the magical realism. You get this feeling of watching a fragment of a roller coaster of generational drama.
Again, I haven't watch it in a while, so if someone else has a different vision of it, I would love to hear it.

It's about the search/need for the transcendent. Highly archetypal story and characters. This is also obvious in the main musical theme that combines traditional Western and Eastern instruments, reshaped by the newest electronic instruments, so it doesn't belong to any exact place or time. Most dialogues deal with fundamental existential and epistemological matters.

ya dude its crazy how the film kills off the main character one third into the movie

I think A Brighter Summer Day in the most \lit\ film that I have ever watched.

Been watching the Greek nigga who made the killing of a sacred deer’s catalog. Finished the Favorite last night. It was okay. Not better than the Lobster, but I loved the cinematography.

that's nothing. have you seen Enter the Void? :^)

lads does tv have a classic movie general

just for reference, I have one of those bookmarked:

>Enter the Void
is that the one with sperm

Psycho literally did this decades before.

what's up with so many people on Yea Forums loving polish cinema? is it really this popular and acclaimed worldwide?

You will struggle to discuss even the most entry level of classics on Yea Forums. There is no worthwhile discussion there. It's a pure shitposting board.

Not at all, you're thinking Love.

If what you mean by spermis a huge creampie seen from inside in the second last sequence, then yes

>is it really this popular
No
>and acclaimed worldwide?
Yes

>Cannibal Holocaust
>Zombie
I'm upset to see those ranked so highly next to actual gold

>Showgirls

visitor Q is an incredible experience

Whats your favorite Western movies, guys? Also what books give you a Western feel?

Attached: FotoCSQN-938x535.jpg (938x535, 111K)

It was screened at a theater.
Curiosly, an another theater screened it again just yesterday, from a 16mm print.
So, you can't find it on rutracker?

Never seen that one, so didn't need to comment. But next to Winter Light, Carnival of Souls, Blue, and Strike, saying that fucking ZOMBIE is good is embarrassing

Currently, it's "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre"

I need to put some John Wayne movies on my list to watch.

why is there a film thread on lit. i thought lit was for literatute?

they should've deleted the thread instead. fucking mods.

This thread got moved from Yea Forums? Why do you guys like such boring drivel. I bet you are afraid to let yourself enjoy Avengers because it's "too mainstream". Stop being so serious about everything

you should have opened a thread titled "books that got a movie adaptation" or something similar, make it about books but about movies too, that will make the janitor scratch his head, that will show him!

yeah they deleted the witch horror thread. cunts.

It would constantly be invaded by sneedposters, there's no point

Rio Bravo is a masterclass on how to write characters.

Books- obviously Blood Meridian

I'm gonna enjoy a Woody Allen movie and you can't stop me.

Cliché answer but The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Most epic Western these eyes have ever seen. Wild Bunch if you're into more filthy stuff.

same, Yi Yi also did it for me

nah the dressmaker and alma had a deal where she would poison him periodically so she could nurture him

Jacques Demy's work

The Searchers

Has anyone seen Love &Pop by Hideaki Anno? Storywise it wasn't the best but I love his directing style, the way he edits and how he composits shots. You can immediately tell that he is behind the camera.
