I made a thread yesterday about The Seventh Seal. I finally watched it and it was pretty good...

Bad opinion, the patrician choice is Obviously Persona but plebs will Argue that it's Fanny & Alexander.

Why was Bergman so based? He's the one of the few director who has brought the character driven intensity of theater into a film based narrative.

Fanny and Alexander.

It was pretty good but doesnt compare to the Passion of Joan of Arc ending. The look on the girls eyes were pretty good though. Best shot was definitely them being dragged by death in the end

Virgin Spring and the Silence trilogy are really good as well
Dreyer is a little better for imagery I think but Bergman's dialogue is much better

I don't understand how this film became a cult? The cinematograhy is shit, the costumes are shit, it's slow and boring and seriously they could have found somehting more subtle to play death. The film is just absurd. What's the appeal???

Are Vampyr and Ordet as good as joan of arc? I saw it recently and really loved it and am interested in delving into his other stuff.

What would you recommend then?

Vampyr's fairly dry, especially if you come off of Nosferatu or Herzog's version, but it's still extremely good imagery and some great atmosphere
Ordet is more intense on a human level but not as, I don't really know how to put, "fantastical" in its presentation/feel

Side trivia: Orson Welles in one of his interviews with Bogdanovich, wanted Polanski to do a proper Dracula adaptation from the book

I don't recommand anything. How did this movie become a cult film? I'd like to understand what is good there or maybe you are all just sheeple trying to pass as conoisseur

Is Vampyr as dry as something like Stalker? I dont mind that type of stuff but I sort of have to be in the right mood to watch it if thats the case.

Its got some really nice shots, an interesting look on faith and some good dialogue. Fairly unique for its time. Recommend a film instead of shitting on something competent.

I think this movie might have connected with people for some obscure reason when it came out. But today, there is no objective reason to find any quality in this film

I'd say they both have that sort of deliberate pace but Vampyr is fairly short in comparison
I love Stalker though and I'm very happy it got a criterion blu ray, the texture of Tark's films is magnificent

Its aged well and I get what your saying but it holds up. Do you not like Bergman?

It isn't a cult film. It's highly regarded, the first film to open up art house to US audiences, and very well known. Literally no part of it is cult. Also, it's fucking great. It's not the fault of Bergman you have a bird brain.

the cinematography is still impressive
the dialogue is still good
and the search for god in the face of mortality and evil is still a very relevant crisis for a lot of people

>cinematography is shit
At the time no. Nowadays, still no.
>costumes are shit
No.
>It's slow and boring.
If you have ADHD, maybe.
>death bad
Literally the best and most interesting part of the movie.
I think you should do some more research into why this film is so highly regarded. It's not even Yea Forums-core, it's just an all-around praised film. People write theses about it at university.
Use the internet and educate yourself.

very based

This isn't your blog faggot

People wrote their thesis on simpsons episodes dumbass. That doesnt give it credibility chuck.

>look at them, doing le dance macabre, those faggots

why did he choose to end on that line?

Better than capeshit and eceleb threads retard. Same shit everyday, nothing wrong with talking about some actual film related stuff

>Fanny and Alexander
I don't get the praise, it's really great but not really top 5 Bergman

>Do you not like Bergman?
It's the only Bergman film I watched

>the cinematography is still impressive
The visuals is the part that puts me off the most. The film looks extremely cheap, and those guys in their ridiculous costumes were so bad. That's what I hate about arthouse. They think the visuals aren't important next to the message they are trying to convey. They forget that this isn't a book, it's motion picture, therefore the picture matters alot. Plus the movie is morally amiguous. I don't remember exactly but something bothered me about a guys who stole bracelet. There was something wrong going on.

This still isn't your blog faggot

>They think the visuals aren't important next to the message they are trying to convey
You are so wrong it's hard to take you seriously

cringe

Do you think Bergman would've liked Von Trier's The House That Jack Built?

Anymore Tarkovsky shit talking?

Take the GOAT

really the Nabokov of movies

wmjas.wikidot.com/nabokov-s-recommendations

>Dostoevsky, Fyodor. Dislike him. A cheap sensationalist, clumsy and vulgar. A prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. Some of his scenes are extraordinarily amusing. Nobody takes his reactionary journalism seriously.

>Hemingway, Ernest. A writer of books for boys. Certainly better than Conrad. Has at least a voice of his own. Nothing I would care to have written myself. In mentality and emotion, hopelessly juvenile. Loathe his works about bells, balls, and bulls.

>Wells, H. G. A favorite between the ages of 10 and 15, and thereafter. A great artist, my favorite writer when I was a boy. His sociological cogitations can be safely ignored, but his romances and fantasies are superb. A far greater artist than Conrad. A writer for whom I have the deepest admiration.

God that is so unbelievably savage. Fucking graphomania holy shit.

Would he be a Snyder fag?

Probably.

Fucking love this everytime I read it. Imagining Brakhage just awkwardly wriggling around as Tarkovsky shouts calling his work shit gives me a good chuckle

It's the culmination of all his previous work and easily his best.
