/ART/ - Arthouse/Experimental General

For me? It's gotta be Tih Minh.

Never watched any Griffith. For the most part pretty much all silent gilm directors were possesed by a megolomaniacal mania and the vulgarity bleeds through the picture fucking stupid great gasby boombap retards. Bunuel has a great part in his book about his disillusionment with Eisenstein.

Why Breathless is his best?
I know his other films like Vivre sa Vie, Bande a part are good, but subjectively Breathless is still his best.
Mainly because for a lot of reasons

FANTOMAS!

Watched Lola Montes and really liked it but wished it was better at the same time. Ophuls did not spend enough time on the lonely, introspective moments for Lola early on in the film, so his juxtaposition of Lola as a spectacle and Lola as a person didn't work as well as it could have.

Fantastic film. The director has a new film out this or next year.
Great director, one of the best. Very interesting approach to filmmaking.

It’s not about the means it’s about the ends. No, it can’t be art if it’s turned towards an ideal that isn’t an actual capturing of the truth.

I really liked it

What can a man really have to say about the highest attainable truths of mankind when his films dont have rape and pussy in them? He is outdated, glad I was born in 2003.

Well, what they do in regular cinema is irrelevant, but as far as "arthouse cinema" is concerned, I expect the director to have an idea of how he wants to film a scene, how he'd like to move his camera around the scene, how to block the scene etc. This is not film making by a true auteur.

fascinating.

Indeed. You still haven't explained how Call Me By Your Name and Shape of Water are arthouse.

so how come the usa stopped making arthouse after 76? but big budged movies targeting wide audiences made before 76 were arthouse? you have to admit it makes no sense.

lbg punx go away

Because it's not about budget.

Literally explained four comments above you. Fundamental changes in the way the studio system worked. It was especially bad after the 80s, when the era of the 'mogul producers' who still had some auteur sensibilities gave way to the era of boardrooms.

The bigger films werent necessarily arthouse, but the director had a lot more freedom in those days. Its always about the producer vs the director, the eternal battle in the world of cinema. After 1976 the director was playing second fiddle to the producer for all eternity to come in Hollywood. They cant afford to be artistic and lose money on their big budget special fx flicks.

> "explained"
even in the silent era studios very often interfered with movies, and not just in america. one famous example is the ending of the last laugh. it sounds good that auteur directors had free reign before the 80s but even i with my limited knowledge about the working of the movie industry know its simply isnt true

>big budged
*big fudged

>free reign
Free reign doesnt exist as long as a director doesnt fund the film himself. But before Star Wars directors did enjoy a lot more freedom, and I do mean a lot.

why the fuck would I think they're arthouse?

Anyone here seen Abel Ferrara's The Addiction? I just watched it the other night and was pretty disappointed by it. It has a decent score on Letterboxd and mostly positive reviews, but I thought it was pretty bad. Curious to see if I'm the only one, I didn't find many bad reviews for it

Don't let it die, guys.

Okay, I’ll post my over 4000 word examination of Birth of a Nation to keep the general alive, I tie it all back to Star Wars and later trends of the visual medium in the 20th century
D. W. Griffith’s legendary controversial epic: The Birth of a Nation: Portrait of a historical memory in America as neo-Roman romantic-fantasy — synthesized as absurdist comedy. First, we have part one, much tamer than part two and much more seriously structured with regard to traditional storytelling. Part one has a real concentrated sentimentalizing effort, the warm small mannerisms and movements of the characters (set up as tragedy). My favorite scene is still one towards the beginning when our ‘hero protagonist’ ‘Ben Cameron’ (who’s name sounds like something out of Star Wars (more on that later)) jogs from the right offscreen into frame, and slightly turns around to his left. Griffith invokes so much warmth in the first half organic movements of his characters, the shot alone seems incredibly modern and is almost surreal and immersive breaking in its subtlety. But even for all the Shakespearean tragedy that Griffith aspires to, the absurdist comedic (dare I say disturbing) truth of Griffith’s imaginative aim still leaks through in part one and completely becomes unrestrained in part two.

For everything said about the controversial nature of Griffith’s epic, when you have scenes like the mixed race protégé of the ‘Uncrowned King’—Silas Lynch — maniacally ranting about creating a new black ‘empire’ with white Elsie Stoneman (daughter of the ‘Uncrowned King’) as his queen, you have to re-examine your mental faculties and judgement if you’re not seeing this as the hilariously absurd culmination of Griffith’s childlike warped imagination. Just look at the usage of the words ‘King’ or ‘queen’ or ‘empire’, the tone and context is completely off the rails. Griffith’s drunken passionate imagination twists and synthesizes itself in a microcosmic symbol of the spirit of America’s drunken passionate imagination. Before the ‘Uncrowned King’ is Uncrowned he is merely just the master of congress under Lincoln, his name is Austin Stoneman.

The change from part one to part two, from the focus of the Civil War to the reconstruction period, twists and inverts everything about the film. The characters become ‘Kramer-ized’ in a fashion all to familiar to the viewers of late 20th-early 21st century big studio sitcoms, they become extreme parodies of themselves. Griffith’s ‘Luke Skywalker’ (Ben Cameron) ‘the little colonel’, the heartwarming image of the scrappy underdog soul of the south, twisted and transformed as thelemic ritual practicing warlock. Almost every scene featuring the Ku Klux Klan baked in a rage red color that harkens the mind back to ancient Bronze Age or antiquarian cults, it gives off a very satanic intensity. Austin Stoneman, the one legged wig wearing Afro-fetishist, already comedic in tone, is transformed into Darth Vader (his gait and presence on screen is extremely similar).

Please stop. This is extremely pathetic and it would be better if the thread just died.

>because he makes SHIT movies
ftfy

I'm doing my best to watch obscure shit that interests me while also trying to watch important kinos everyone should have seen. Am I doing this right?

Attached: watchlist.png (748x735, 62K)

Griffith’s microcosmic creation is a clear representation of the twisted macrocosm of the later development of the visual medium in the later 20th century, the exaggerated racial stereotypes, the neo-Greek/Roman emotional sentiments. Even over 100 years later the biggest epic of the past decade - Disney’s ‘Infinity War’ is a twisted and disturbing inversion of the proto-typical Greek tragedy. And yes, this cyclical motion throughout time is an ‘infinite war’. Since the beginning of the fall of humanity these same rising tides of mirth and creative inspiration will be destroyed and inverted into a synthesized disturbing ‘comedy’, where even the irony stops being funny and all is twisted (the hero becomes the WARlock). Until we see the day that Griffith beautiful paints at the end, with Christ the redeemer dutifully vigil over the shared fraternity of man, no inversions, no twisting, a victory over the man on the horse swinging his sword tyrannically reigning over the soul of humanity, which Griffith also paints in juxtaposition to Christ’s stewardship. Represented in these end images is part one and part two of the very film itself, which is a microcosm of the soul of humanity, one part romantic-fantasy — another part disturbing-‘comedy’. So, now, let us wait for that day brothers, the victory of Christ the redeemer over the sword wielding tyrant, an end to the infinity War and the beginning of a mirthful era that will never be inverted. Liberty and union, one and inseparable, now and forever!

What other movies should I watch from Pasolini? I've seen his Trilogy of Life, which I thought was just okay, and I know Salo is important. Pic unrelated.

I really liked Irreversible but thought Enter The Void was just okay. I'd like to see Climax but haven't.

That's basically what I do. A few days of bloody genre shit, and then a few days of classic mandatory watching. Although I'm guilty of leaning too much into the former.

This one just got derailed early on. There’s obviously some sort of schism of philosophy here, this thread was our civil war arc

No but his film seem to have very good letterboxd despite being quite divisive on other sites.
Wild Strawberries, Autumn Sonata, Hour of the Wolf and Fanny and Alexander are better than all of those.

Some underrated Bergman is his Masonic symbolism dense film of Mozart’s last play before he died ‘The Magic Flute’. Bergman probably didn’t put the Masonic shit in but I would consider The Magic Flute to be his only epic. Shame (1968) his only war film, and The Magician

umm i don't think so sweetie, Persona is his masterpiece

Yes, those are also very good. The Magician is especially underrated.
Well, you are wrong.

anyone ever bought a Criterion Box? thinking about buying Pasolini's Trilogy Of Life which comes with a bunch of essays, documentaries, short films and etc

we really need new arthouse chart. someone needs to do it and make list on letterboxd

Shame is awesome.

I endorse this post. The Magician and The Magic Flute are among my favorite Bergman films.
It's hard to call Fanny and Alexander 'underrated', but you can pair it with the other two for the crazy kabbalistic section.

Lets just admit that most non-narrative films ironically all have the same ‘narrative’ (emotional output). Non-narrative films try to put you into pretty much the same emotional state every time, they encourage you to build a narrative in your head, and most of the time it feels cheap and arbitrary. In narrative filmmaking you can layer and hide things with more complexity

It was freeleech and I've heard the German phrase quite often before the remake was even released so I am interested in the original. But is most probably right. I don't expect much of the movie.

It's not a remake. They are both adapations of the book. And the 2014 version is an insane ride. It's among the greatest films out there. I've never seen anything like it.

You are doing an extremely impressive work. Keep it going. But, as other user has said, you got the wrong Hard to be a God. The one you have on your list is a mediocre (but somewhat enjoyable) adaptation of the same book that German took and broke down in rotten parts in his messy, grim, weird-ass masterwork.

I will watch the 2014 version if I happen to come across it. But as I said here I'm not too keen on genre. I am mainly watching it because I'm German and trying to get more knowledgeable with German films.

I'm German as well and don't think I have ever heard the phrase "Es ist schwer ein Gott zu sein" in casual conversation. The source material is Russian and was originally translated as "Es ist nicht leicht, ein Gott zu sein" so I don't know how this phrase could have gotten as popular as you claim. The 2014 film is the definite version and much more highly acclaimed and I would absolutely recommend watching it.

Lang is really naisu. But so far I've only seen Metropolis and M. But Metropolis I saw live on television in the restored version with a live orchestra. So I guess I get bonus points for that.

>public tracker
>N-no thanks.
Tell me mein deutscher Freund, how do I gain access to comfy and patrician private trackers?

fritz lang is overrated

I dunno. I got my own bird access from a Letterboxd thread many years ago. But now the invites all seem deactivated.

>private trackers?
there is a general on /g/ but the rites-of-passage are excrutiating. Only for people with lot's of time on their hands.

Beg for a SC invite. From there you can easily get to KG.

Blockbuster casual here. I wanna join in on these threads, but I don't know where to start with art house movies. Please give me some entry level recommendations. I'm so sick of predictable mainstream movies.

Wannabe Douglas Sirk.

basically nohow unless you want to dedicate shitloads of time.
unless you get invited, but nobody wants to invite strangers.

Start with Bergman. Early Fellini too, La Dolce Vita is quite accessible.

Arthouse is garbage lefty circlejerk, don't bother.

Watch Der Müde Tod, it´s a masterwork.

Also:
- Die Nibelungen (a fucking technical and narrative wonder)
- The Mabuse Trilogy

Others works from him I find fascinating are more genre leaning, so I don´t know if you would consider them, but I suggest his Hollywood B work, full of gems and discoveries and, of course, the Die Spinnen diptych and my personal favourite, Spies.

Why are you here then?

Pic related is a good start. Also what said but ironically.

This

What are your favorite genres? You can always start out from there and start watching some of the more elevated stuff. Like Don't Look Now or Hour of the Wolf if you are into horror.
Other entry level arthouse is Kurosawa, Fellini, French New Wave.

What does SC stand for? Sorry, I have never really looked into private trackers because they seemed so hard to get in.

remember to watch everything with 1.5x speed and skip pleb directors. witch directors are pleb? type in google "best directors of all time lol xd" and skip those.

>when the hero (parsifal or whoever) kills that shitty looking dragon
lmao thats when i gave up on silent "films"

when will someone replace wild at heart with a more appropriate lynch like blue velvet or eraserhead

I will get there eventually, I think. But for now I'm not really in the mood for very early cinema. There is a lot of recent obscure stuff that I want to see. I feel like I'm always behind at least a decade when it comes to contemporary cinema. Oof.

You sound like a retard.

>witch
Yup, sounds about right.

Fuck you.

secret cinema

My life has been a lie.

I would suggest you to start with John Cassavetes. The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (the 1978 cut. If you like it, you could watch the longer 1976 cut) and Minnie and Moskowitz.

based

I found Blue Velvet a bit too digestible and popular to be an actual entry point. Eraserhead is on the other end and pretty weird for most normies. But Wild at Heart falls nicely in the middle. You could put Inland Empire on the list for trolling reasons.

Enjoy the trip user! There´s time!

If literally all you watch are blockbusters I don't think you should jump into arthouse right away. Get acquainted with some classics first and then move on to arthouse.
Try things like Keaton, Hitchock, Ford.

Guy called Ulysses looking at shit I suppose

But then it would've been called Ulysses Gazes.

What if was meant to be called Ulysses’ Gays and he runs a gay prostitution service

This is not a Weerasethakul movie.

No that's not it.
