how does Fallen Angels rank with Kar-wai's other works? Also, are you excited for his new project: Blossoms?

It's been my favourite work of his for a long time (granted, it's been a while since I watched Chungking Express, and I could never get into ITMFL). From what I've heard about Blossoms, it sounds very promising. If true, the theme and setting reminds me strongly of Jia Zhangke's Platform - well worth a watch if you haven't already.

Pretentious Boring Shit General

I'm not much of a Tarkovsky fan either.

Should put a couple of questions in the OP like in past threads, it gives some kind of theme to the thread and kickstarts discussion.

Where do retards get the idea that other people are only pretending to like things they don't like?
And seriously, "pretentious" has to be the most misused insult of all time

I don't know, but i do know that the scene where the killer shoots up the people playing mahjong in the restaurant is one of the most stylish assassination scenes in the history of cinema.
The cinematography of Christopher Doyle together with the editing is absolute top class and i haven't seen a single movie using handheld camera that matches this (Private Ryan being the exception)

go back on capeshit, brainlet

Is "Celine and Julie go Boating" a good place to start with Rivette or should I look into his earlier works?

That's exactly what I started with, just a couple of days ago in fact, and I loved it.
I'm about to watch La Belle Noiseuse next.

>t. too pleb to watch silent films because they're "boring"

This is a seal of approval similar to the Janus or Wild bunch logo

My fault, I didn't check the catalog (these thread don't come by too often)

>When the previous threads are called /ART/ and yet this one is called /ahg/
You are the retard you realize that.

>sperg baby triggered he didn't get to make a thread
:((((

No I am not even OP but now the threads will be even more dead when they were already dead as fuck beyond my pol-bosting.

its his magnus opus imo. kar-wai in general is pretty hit or miss but he usually makes great stuff when hes working with christopher doyle.

OP here, I made the thread without realising that the other one (/art/) existed. Either way, they're on the same topic, so nobody minds which one stays up

>5 replies
>21 replies

Gee I wonder which one is real.

What the fuck are you talking about, moron?

Whereas the previous thread didn't even have a subject line yet everyone posted in it, there is absolutely no point doing this you cunt, we had a thread, who cares about what's between the slashes

Norte is accessible, if you want something in black and white that he usually does, then From What is Before.

I recently watched white dog and steel helmet from fuller. Steel helmet i absolutely loved while white dog i felt really spoonfed the message. What should i check out next?

If your visceral reaction was what mattered, porn would be the highest form of art.

capeshit took over, you can't even discuss once-household Yea Forums names like Tarkovsky or Kurosawa anymore

RYM has better taste than letterboxd.

how about having an arthouse thread where we don't reply to this stupid bait

I’ve seen 38, can’t believe TDKR isn’t on there. Most notable ones I haven’t seen are probably Drive, Das Boot, Die Hard, The Terminator, There will be blood. Really not missing out on much tho, this is my profile.

this is depressing as fuck, literal reddit tier, maybe even below truefilm,and they are a bunch of 90 iq politically obsessed americans

imagine missing out on a kino because you got triggered by some social commentary you disagree with. its almost as bad as muh plot niggers

i honestly expected worse from Yea Forums. it's not that much different than reddits top 100. if someones getting into film it's an ok chart i guess. it's not pleb to enjoy and have some of these films in your own top 100 or whatever but if your list looks exactly like this you should look into some more challenging film

ive seen 74

I've heard some talk about Parasite being one of the greatest films of the decade, and I had a friend come back from Cannes saying that he'd put it up there with his all-time favourites. Is it really that good?

Only real cinema niggas who managed to sit through Tie Xi Qu can reply to my post

WKW is so fucking overrated. He’s like the miyazaki of live action.

I did. Very good doc.

Still not as overrated as P.T. Anderson, though.

fuckin redditos i swear

I need to watch Sacrifice, one of the few big Tarkovsky films that I haven't seen

From Fuller? I really love Forty Guns.

His well known films like Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor are both great as well.

>one of the few big Tarkovsky films

Nigga he only made 7 films.

i would agree with this but TWBB and Phantom Thread exist

i've seen joan of arc and everything he made after , is there something else worth watching from dreyer?

Try hard general

So am I wrong?

Shock corridor is his best, then Naked kiss and pickup on south street. Big red one is so so imo but has some cool scenes. And yeah white dog isn’t exactly the most subtle movie ever made.

Why are there so many pseuds on Yea Forums? You'd never get an art game thread on Yea Forums

Because video games aren’t art

lmao think about it maybe you'll figure it out why we have art film discussion on tv and classic literature discussion on lit but no """""art game""""" discussion on v

>couldn't get into In The Mood For Love

Sorry kiddo, this is a thread for serious arthouse discussion with people who can appreciate these high level films. Maybe /marvel/ general is more your speed?

The closest video games came to "art" was Bioshock or Spec Ops: The Line, the medium has a long way to go.

can't wait til summer ends and all you tryhard zoomers get locked up again, bucko/boyo/kiddo.

Finished watching The Ballad of Narayama (1958). I know it says ballad in the title, but dammit does the idiot singer ruin the film. Couldn't they find someone that doesn't sound like pure shit? If they added a soundtrack without him the movie would go from a semi-esoteric art film into classic you show anybody.
It has so many good qualities ruined whenever the asshole opens his mouth and starts singing. Everyone can understand the tragedy of abandoning one's parent's to die, so it's a really accessible film in terms of content. It's just this fucking guy who ruins it.

What do you think about The Rose of Versailles? It has the mark of french novels. So criminally underrated.

The fuck is this paternal shit sensesofcinema.com/2018/latin-american-cinema-today/latin-american-cinema-today-an-unsolved-paradox-introduction/?

watched the anime, not the film. It is good? I just couldn't see how it would fit into 90 minutes and not be terrible.

>Because we want to escape linguistic imperialism and we would be doing a disservice to the Spanish-speaking world otherwise, we have partner with the Mexican online film journal Icónica to produce this dossier.
This is at the same level as "my gay friend agrees with me", but you actually get some gay guy to approve your opinions for you. Embarrassing.

Yeah, Lee Chang-Dong never holds back, my long-time favourite of his is Oasis, also picked up Secret Sunshine from a criterion sale earlier on.

A few people with a good idea can make an arthouse movie. One person with an idea can make an artsy book or comic. Three friends together can make an arsty album music.

But videogames, they require dozens of people just to make an indieshit game, and years of work for even that to happen. Too much time for just an idea, too much people for just an idea, and too much money for just an idea. Videogames are not art, and considering how their budgets and necessary effort just increases overtime, I doubt they will ever be.
