Welcome to /patrician/, a thread free from capeshits and netflixiers.
I'm from Yea Forums and browsing this board makes me feel bad.
Can we have a thread to share and talk about quality movies and quality directors?
Who's your favorite director? Your favorite movies?
Other urls found in this thread:
rarefilmm.com
twitter.com
Strangely I find that for my favorite films, nothing else I watch from the same directors lives up to them, so there's essentially zero overlap between favorite directors and favorite movies.
Anyone else experience this?
Stop trying to force generals based on actual film discussion, this board will never be fucking saved. The moderators on this website are absolutely fucking useless and the general userbase are edgy fuckhead kids who don't want to actually explore cinema and would rather ruin all genuine discussion with unnecessary politics and general baiting.
t. user who's pissed at /art/ generals being completely ruined by shitposters when they were the only threads you could actually discuss movies in for a while
I go on /art/ to blog about my experiences with arthoes
Woody Allen's movies are known to be similar to each other, though for many that's a problem, I like it that way, so I never get tired of his movies and I already know what to expect from him. Same thing with Vittorio De Sica.
thoughts on capellani?
Goddamn Allen's self insert le neurotic jewish characters are so annoying.
has literally anyone else seen this kino
Fav director is kobayashi and Bergman.
Some good movies are harakiri, the human condition trilogy and wild strawberries
Because his movies are kind of autobiographic.
I can relate to him, especially in Stardust Memories, where he makes fun of science, hippies, cinephiles, philosophers in a subtle and brilliant way. He'd shitpost on Yea Forums if he knew this website.
I watched A Man For All Seasons last night.
It was pretty great, some very well written dialogue, makes sense because based on a play.
Anybody here seen Le Cercle Rouge? Is it a good film for a rainy day?
Yes and it's annoying although sometimes he can make a good film, i found his neurotic jewish characters to be too annoying and they drag down the films for me.
give me something to watch tonight
fav directors: Bergman Wilder Koreeda Truffaut Scorsese Hitchcock Kurosawa Bong
Check out Wolf Hall.
What genre do you want?
anything with good drama

Good taste, senpai.
The Grand Budapest Hotel is Wesley Anderson's best movie, in my humble opinion.
My favourite movies are Barry Lyndon, Living in Oblivion and El Verdugo. I don't have a favourite director the same way I don't have a favourite producer.
I just recently watched this arthouse film called "Lady Bird" and it was excellent, have you watched it /patrician/?

Solid Mellville. You'd think it's another Delon vehicle, but it's actually an ensemble of great characters. The heist is unimpressive at first glance, but at the same time very unique. I'd say it's great for a rainy day, but surprisingly it has a lot of humorous elements in comparison to other Melvilles. I am pretty sure this was my first one (before Le samourai) and it's a great introduction to his work.
Another coming of age film, nothing special.
What's the best Melville film? I have only seen Le Samourai.
Anus Films lol
Yes, I enjoyed it. It really surpassed my expectations, especially in term of cinematography.
Plus Saoirse Ronan is a cutie and has beautiful feet.
>watch almost every good late 60s/early 70s american film (new hollywood movement)
>now scrambling at the more obscure gems
for every five easy pieces there's five hundred fucking dumb unfunny comedies with barely information on them/late westerns that were desperately clinging onto john wayne/movies still following hayes code
any of you have any favorite late 60s/early 70s american films that aren't the usual?
watched this on a cold day, perfect weather. funny how john wick referenced this of all possible movies (red circle is the club)
actually pretty big spoiler: i would really hate this sort of story if it were any other movie, the plot and conclusion feel so much like a 50s hollywood movie with the bad guys losing, but it works so well in circle rouge, probably because of how bleak it is, that last shot is so cynical
Rivette is really growing on me. I love the quiet, unhurried way he lingers in his world. Going through Out 1 now.
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. In a similar vein, I don't have a whole lot of favorite albums, it's usually just a couple of tracks from an album I really like, or just one. There's something very intimate to what makes something a favorite to me, something that speaks directly to my soul. As a result, my tastes are pretty specific, although I couldn't explain what the specifics are. Is that what it's like for you?
The one exception to this among filmmakers is David Lynch. I appreciate a lot of his work, but I really, deeply love three things by him - Fire Walk With Me, INLAND EMPIRE and Twin Peaks S3. If I had to name a favorite filmmaker, it's him.
The Long Goodbye (1973) is one of my all-time favorites as well. I like some other Altman movies but they don't do for me what that one does.
>Is it a good film for a rainy day?
Sure. It's pretty gray and wintry, like your screenshot. Does have kind of a "rainy day" atmosphere.
Sure, you're free to enjoy whatever you like, but some movies, especially the ones discussed on Yea Forums are pretty shallow and childish. Imagine you're a Bach fan and then you go to Yea Forums and all you see are threads about Tyler, The Creator?
I enjoy some lowbrow movies and artists once in a while, but sometimes you just want something more profound to stimulate your brain and this is not something bad.
IT WOULD BE ONE OF MY FAVOURITES BY HIM IF THE «MOVIE» WERE NOT AN EXALTATION OF THE JEWIFIED AND DECADENT EPOCH OF IMPERIAL VIENNA, AND A VILIFICATION OF GERMAN NATIONAL SOCIALISM VIA CARICATURE.
>"Lady Bird"
>arthouse
...
I gave this a go yesterday - would recommend
Shame it got buried under Star Wars
i believe that, my friend, was the joke
Thoughts?
From what I've seen, Le samourai is the undisputed champion. It's as if you sucked everything that's great in other movies and combined into one. If you care only for specific ingredients, you can go for serious, dramatic stuff (silence de la mer, army of shadows), or badass noir-heist hybrids (all the rest). Keep in mind, all the "lesser" Melvilles are still top tier.
>patrician
>woody allen
Fucking faggot pleb.
I assume you've gone through Altman's work?
The Last Detail is another pretty good Nicholson movie. I enjoyed Straight Time, but that's really late 70s.
I really like Shampoo as well, though I understand it's not exactly a masterpiece.
Other movies I can think of aren't American
Now you should explore other countries' cinema. I've heard the Indians and Koreans are doing a pretty great job.
Has anyone watched this movie?
Pietà (2012).
rarefilmm.com
If you don’t like it you can use that website to look for other more obscure American movies, too. It’s got a great selection of films you’ll probably never find anywhere else.
seven samurai is my favourite arthouse film. it's both capeshit and arthouse. how did kurosawa do it
Well the Cercle Rouge is off since my TV can't play the file. What's better for a rainy day Nostalghia or Thief?
Rivette is great. La Belle Noiseuse and Celine and Julie Go Boating are fantastic. The only film of his i didn't like was Merry Go Round.
I want to live in a house like the one in La Belle Noiseuse. I wonder if there are any like it anywhere that don't cost millions and haven't been ruined by retard interior designers
seen long goodbye/MASH/california split by altman, he's pretty gud, not my favorite from that whole scene though. i honestly didn't care for the long goodbye, i understand his idea of bringing marlowe into modern day, but i can't stand gould's portrayal, he just comes across as a snobby jew more than anything else. i loved the camera work on it though, could see cassavetes being inspired by it while making killing of a chinese bookie. dunno, felt like long goodbye went on a little bit too long (goodbye)
i really liked california split, it's really laid back and warm, and i liked that random trip they do in the last third of the movie where the ending takes place, that ending is perfect.
from what i remembered, i really liked MASH and think it's my favorite work from him, i don't remember much about it though, aside from the funky new wave editing
need to see last detail and straight time, nicholson was on top of the fucking world when it came to these kind of films
shampoo is on the to do list too.
america is the only place that really matters though desu
honestly, i've already seen a bunch of foreign stuff from around that time, french new wave essentials and some yugo black wave (young and healthy as a rose being the highlight) i just want to stick to american films for a while, they're more relatable too
it was also interesting knowing these films were actually being backed by major studios for a bit after easy rider. it's crazy seeing a film like midnight cowboy become a box office hit and an award winner, it's really fucking out there
seems really interesting, it has gary busey too, strange seeing him so young. gonna guess it has some funky editing too? i'll try to find it, thanks for the site as well
speaking of films seeming like shitty student films, i really love who's that knocking on my door. i haven't seen that in a while either, but i fucking love that movie from what i remember.
It was a great house i also liked the house in The Leopard.
I'm too scared to watch The Exorcist, bros.
Don't be scared fren.
I can't. Those early-00's jumpscare pranks fucked me up as kid. I can't even look at a picture of Linda Blair with no make up without feeling uncomfortable.
Saw Nosferatu and Passion of Joan of Arc today. Very nice and comfy, almost cried seeing Joan being burned.
Wish there were more threads like this.
Dirty Spaniard
I will hold you fren, we can watch together.
You can enjoy Bach AND Tyler the Creator. If you prefer to stick exclusively to high art maybe the problem is yours, coming to Yea Forums of all places, retard.
Ser/Estar bitch
Where can someone talk about films online then? Most of the discords are run by assholes and forums are pretty dead. Yea Forums unfortunately seems to be the best place to encounter a decent thread every now and then.
There is the /art/ general and /lbg/ general
The problem is both threads are inconsistent and pop up randomly. It would be nice there some sort of schedule like twice a week. /lbg/ seems to be more focused on the /film/cord than actually sharing profiles and films.
Electric Dreams
I feel you. But that's the unavoidable, contradictory nature of the hacker called Yea Forums.
I agree twice/thrice a week would be good. There is really a small amount of posters willing to discuss films here.
>What's the best Melville film?
objectively army of shadows
how obscure we talking? have you seen dennis hopper's the last movie?
cant find his fucking movies anywhere
>free from capeshits and netflixiers.
how can you say that when the best documentary of 2018 is a netflix documentary?
all film before Griffith was just a novelty
Tarkovsky's worst film. Literally just an incoherent babbling.
Griffith was a hack who reused the same sets for every movie.
>reused the same sets for every movie.
explain why I should care
for the movie that clip is from:

hi adum
I want to get into the nouvelle vague this week. Recommend me the best of the best
No.
John Carpenter
Early Coppola, or up to The Outsiders
Sergio Leone
Walter Hill
William Friedkin
Michael Mann
I like Rivette, Resnais and Rohmer the most. But i guess Truffaut and Godard are better starting points.
I recommend Beckett if you haven't seen it. And, less similar, but kino as well: Night of the Iguana.
>Le Cercle Rouge
It's okay, more aesthetic than gripping. If you want a great, wild yet tasteful heist film, watch Sitting Target. If you want something more quixotic I'd watch The 10th Victim or Danger Diabolik. Cheers.
if it came before Kane, its purpose is inane
I know a guy who try to educate himself in the Nouvelle Vague. He decided to start with Godard's Le Mépris. He never came back. Nowadays he only watches capeshit and talks shit about Fritz Lang.
Day of the Jackal

I'd be against sharing, outside this thread, due to the metastasizing idiocy of this board, but I recently discovered what I consider one of the five scariest, eeriest films in existence. It continues to bother me weeks and months later, not unlike when I first viewed Kubrick's The Shining at aged 12:
imdb.com/title/tt0082025/
That would be Solaris
Nice bait, Simon
of course it's absolutely kino
What are the other 4?
Stop replying to that faggot your thread is doing fine
Shut the fuck up pest, jesus christ.
This is absolutely perfect. I regret not watching it sooner and I'm definitely checking out Scorsese's lesser known work when I can. No other word sums up LToC more accurately than "genius".
Solaris is at least somehow coherent. Nostalghia was just pointless pseudo poetic babble.
>The Appointment
Looks interesting. Can't find it anywhere though.
I guess Breathless and 400 Blows are a good start. If you give up after one film you didn't try in the first place desu.
Great performance by Dafoe.
Try
The Jokers (1967)
Thunder Road - Robert Mitchum
Pitfall - older noir, quite tasty yet bitter
The Passenger - hypnotic if in the mood
The Man in the White Suit - 10/10 comedy with profound themes
Nightmare Alley - del Toro is remaking this, he's a fat fool, the ending is haunting and cannot be rivaled by him
Killer of Sheep
Yeah, that's one of the main gripes I have with Tarkovsky, he tries so hard to make EVERYTHING poetic even when in the context of the film there's no reason to. Sometimes it works (Rublev, Stalker), sometimes it doesn't (Nostalgia, Solaris). It seems extremely forced, especially compared to directors like Bergman who can insert otherwise tiresome and eye-rolling poetry in a way that's much more organic and poignant.
It shows he is a hack.
anyone got some uplifting movies
One of the better remakes in kino history, along with Carpenter's The Thing, and De Palma's Scarface.
Why is every single shot so long and uneventful jesus christ. I know it's supposed to show the crushing boredom of the homeless but fuck me this is hard to watch.
A Larisa for you, for being such a good boy
Have you viewed Altman's The Caine Mutiny Court Martial, Secret Honor, or O.C. and Stiggs? The latter seems to be having a revival of sorts among cineastes in Austin and Portland.
I agree. Rublev, Stalker and i would say Mirror work completely and are great. Solaris, Nostalghia and Offret work only in certain stretches. Someone like Theodoros Angelopoulos does the same shit. It can result in a masterpiece or somewhat middling and disappointing experience.
Paddington 2 is great.
Have you seen other Tsai's films?
>Have you seen other Tsai's films?
No. Are they all like this?
Before I add this, can you confirm there's no homo or J00ish subtext to this film? Sincere inquiry.
You shouldn't watch this film first desu. Go chronologically with his films. They get slower and slower and you can see him develop his style. I would recommend watching his films even if you didn't like this one. Just go chronologically.
The Entity is scarier. The Sentinel is sexier.
Not the same user but wathever. Tsai is the best
What Time Is It There?
Rebels Of The Neon God
Goodbye Dragon Inn
The Hole
The River
Wonderdul kino all of them.
Tsai is great i agree.
>You can enjoy Bach AND Tyler the Creator
Sure if you're 21. If you're older, or at least done with university sans grad school, it must said, even on Yea Forums, this statement is embarrassing. Particularly in 2019. Unless you find Tyler the Creator to be, erm, interesting from the detached sociological viewpoint of America in the post modern throes of cultural atrophy, throes which resemble hormonal savage African dance.
Shockingly good. Troubling it's still not included in the Eighties canon.
Good thread. I like Woody Allen films, Wes Anderson, Yojimbe (better than 7 samurai).
Kubrick. What would be the next step?
>have you seen dennis hopper's the last movie?
Not that user but I have. And his related documentary American Dreamer is superlative. Also, Out of the Blue is arguably Hopper's masterpiece.
I like the soul and funk vintage sound of that album. Why is it so hard to understand? I'm 51 years old, by the way
Cinemageddon
>Out of the Blue is arguably Hopper's masterpiece.
oh easily. easy rider has not aged well.
I'm not good enough for private trackers.
Searching For Bobby Fischer, Being There, The Straight Story, Frankenweenie (the original short), Takeshi Kitano's Brother, 12:01 starring Jonathan Silverman, Back to School, Summer Rental, Bad News Bears (original), Fletch, Milo & Otis, The Fox and the Hound, Moonstruck, Loverboy, Lucas

unwatchably sappy

This is a call to the Chalafags
Peter Greenaway used similar compositions as Anderson. He is also much better.
Oh come. moonlight kingdom not patrician enough for you? I ask for help and i get shit on thanks alot buddy.
your request is too vague. if you want recs, try to ask for something more specific
