What's your opinion on using music in a film? Sometimes it's used as a cheap trick to instill a certain emotion, and it's irritating.

I think Topaz is worth a watch at least. It’s still Hitchcock even though he goes through the Cuban Missile Crisis trend.

We need a discord

a cinematic discord

ADDENDUM:

In the bathroom scene, the toilet against the wall opposite of the camera is obviously symbolic of Wendy, Jim flushing it in order to hurt Gord, who is in the shower, is a similarly obvious reference to Jack's infanticidal condition relative to which Wendy is only a nuisance. A point further emphasized by Jim confronting Gord with "do you want to fuck me?", with something that one might naively assume is reserved for his wife.

wouldnt it be funny if Dario had the bluray of this film hahaha lets watch it again honey haha

This movie made me understand the people who think Schrader is a hack.

r8 the last 5 films you've seen. for me, it's
>Imitation of Life (1934) - 7/10
>Judge Priest (1934) - 8/10
>Les Affaires Publiques (1934) - 5/10
>The Thin Man (1934) - 7/10
>The Scarlet Empress (1934) - 8/10

>Vengeance is Mine - 6/10 (Imamura is hit or miss with me, maybe I was tired while watching this but this felt like a big step down after Profound Desires of the Gods. There are interesting aspects of it but Imamura's emphasis on documentary realism and anthropology bogs this down somewhat.)
>The Fireman's Ball - 5/10 (fun moments, but idk, I like the formally adventurous CNW films I've seen The Cremator, Daisies) a lot more than the more neorealism influenced stuff (FB, Loves of a Blonde)
>The Story of a Three-Day Pass - 8/10 (I really like Van Peebles' style here, especially his use of editing. Fairly unique use of music at times, like in the driving scenes. The cafe scene is fantastic. Van Peebles seems like a based maverick and I like guys like him and Wakamatsu, Cassavetes etc., looking forward to Watermelon Man and Sweet Sweetback.)
A Streetcar Named Desire - 7/10 (Not mere filmed theatre but not quite as cinematic as I was hoping compared to On the Waterfront. I like Brando's performance better than the movie surrounding it, although it is a great script and Blanche is a great character as well.)
>Wake in Fright - 8/10 (Probably would have been a 9 if I had watched it at night, really fucking great film, great atmosphere, love how the whole thing feels like a nightmare, even before it really becomes one. The bar sequence at the beginning is one of my favorite parts. Good shit.)

About to watch Ivanhoe 1952, what am I in for?
What I can tell the costume blow the modern garbage costumes out of the water

Vengeance is Mine was haunting for me and only got better on rewatches. But it was also one of the first films I watched that didn't romanticize psychopathy in any sense so maybe that made it more disturbing for me

I knew you'd come back some day... I'm teary-eyed right now. Welcome home.

Vertigo sucks ass

true

I still lurk from time to time, just don't really post

why didnt anybody tell me Phantom Thread is incredible?

>Tokyo Story (1953) - 8/10
>Seven Samurai (1954) - 8/10
>The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) - 7/10
>Ben-Hur (1959) - 8/10
>Harakiri (1962) - 9/10

grinding the classics

I'll give it another shot at some point. Imamura isn't one of my favorite JNW directors but I really like some of his films (Pigs and Battleships, Intentions of Murder, Profound Desires of the Gods) and I wanted to like ViM, maybe I just wasn't in the right mindset to get into it but compared to a lot of the more formally adventurous stuff from the period it just felt like too much of people talking in reasonably well staged scenes. I had a similar issue with A Man Vanishes, although that one was brutal to get through compared to this.
I do agree that the film's depiction is pretty compelling in how it is so completely deromanticized, that's one way that Imamura's naturalism plays into the movie in a way that I like. The last conversation scene with him and his father was pretty unique because the character's nihilism and rejection of the world didn't feel powerful or intimidating, just pathetic. Usually that type of attitude is portrayed as having this terrifying force, like the Joker, but the straightforwardness of portraying him as just this fuck up who has completely rejected the world and its morals because he can was pretty refreshing. I probably phrased that retardedly but I'm too lazy to do better right now. I hope the movie as a whole will grow on me more on rewatching it.

Before Midnight - 7.5/10
Darling, Do You Love Me? - 6.5/10
Tampopo - 8/10
Hell or High Water - 6.5/10
Last Chants For a Slow Dance - 5.5/10

>In a Lonely Place (1950) - 8/10
>Togo (2019) - 7/10
>Blackhat (2013) - 8.5/10
>Manhunter (1986) - 8.5/10
>Resolution (2012) - 7/10
PTA isn't discussed here for obvious reasons. It's better if you forgot about ever having seen that movie, if you know what's good for you.

No...D:

>RRR 10/10 a masterpiece, absolutely glorious
>Begin Again 5/10 schlock I watched with my parents, Keira Knightley can't sing very well, comes off as budget Sara Bareilles
>Shaft 9/10 Cheesy as all hell, but goddammit, it hits the spot. Isaac Hates soundtrack is unforgettable
>Fresh 5/10 tried to do something interesting with the Fatal Attraction type horror thriller, but ended up feeling rudderless and caught between low brow reddit crowd and hard-core horror fans
>My Days of Mercy 6/10, 7/10 if you count the fact that we get to see Kate Mara's glorious bosom. Great performance from Page. Mediocre story, but the two leads pull emotion out of it regardless.

>for obvious reasons
please do enlighten me

Greetings bros.
>The last laugh (1924)
The minimal use of intertitles and emphasis on the power of its imagery to tell the story really made this one a standout. 9/10
>The unchanging sea (1910)
Its depiction of longing and relationships is really simple but effective. Might rewatch it 6-7/10
>The girl and her trust (1912)
Again, simple premise and story structure executed remarkably well. The film is engaging mainly for its editing and pacing. 8/10.
>Tarfuffe (1925)
Didn't like it as much as the last laugh, but the film within a film narrative device is clever. 7/10
>Faust (1926)
Same as before, though I think I might enjoy it more on the big screen. Great lighting and special effects. 7-8/10

>Lights in the dusk (2006)
8/10. this used to be a 10 for me couple years back when i was on my Kaurismäki-fan boy phase
aspects of costume design and color palette are quite dated and tasteless on my 5th rewatch of this movie. some musical sequences go on for unnecessarily long

>Bitter moon
7/10. a movie anyone who appreciates cinema should watch once. quite long which takes away from the rewatchability value

>Dogville
10/10

>The tenant
8/10. Polanski does his character so well. cinematography is great and the tension is mature and self-consious, without being too soap opera-like and dramatic. amazing nightmare scenes.

>Body double (De palma)
5/10. At the 3rd act i fully stopped caring. something way too 80s american about it that makes it too tasteless for me. too soap opera-like.

So I've started actually making my way through Tsai's filmography.
This was an enjoyable watch, very straightforward and easy to digest. Had a surprising amount of comedy, that goddamn theme song started getting on my nerves a bit though. My copy didnt translate what he spray painted on the bike, researching it later definitely added to the scene, wish it had been on my copy when I watched it. Not seeing much here in regards to his typical style/technique which I'm assuming he'll begin establishing as his filmography continues. Interested enough to keep going.

I'm obviously skipping all of his television work from the late 80s and early 90s. Has anyone here actually seen them? They any good?

There will be blood is great, the rest is fine I guess, haven't seen his latest film though

>Has anyone here actually seen them? They any good?
Yes, I've seen All the Corners of the World and Give Me a Home. They're obviously weaker than any of his features, but they're fine social dramas. I've heard that Boys is supposedly the best one, but I haven't been able to find subs for it.

Attached: together eatin.jpg (1920x1080, 407.48K)

pretty consistent director, i like his flawed characters, especially Freddy

I'll continue with his features and shorts, probably spread them out a bit since I don't want to overload. I think I might have already seen The Hole and the watermelon one, but I'll give them a rewatch in order.

I watched Uncle Boonmee last night. Didn't see the appeal at all, maybe I got filtered. Should I bother with any of his other films? I have Memoria downloaded

stop memeing guys, I also need some sincere opinions on Memoria, it's the last title left from my 2021 backlog

I really enjoyed Another Round (Druk). In general I am a very depressive person, unmotivated, cynical and lacking energy. After work today I drank half a beer and I'm already feeling more positive somehow. Might try this for a while drinking every day. Maybe some people genuinely do have an imbalance which could be corrected by consuming alcohol every day.

Not film! That movie is on par with like a 00s sex comedy flick.

It was brought up here some time ago. It's not bad.

I was recommended Suspiria (1977) at some point, and recently saw it. I enjoyed it quite a bit, a very solid 4/5 with some exceptional qualities, and wondered if there are other Dario Argento films that are worth seeing? His name is quite well known, but Suspiria is part of a "trilogy" where the other films seem to have rather minimal praise, so I don't think I would watch the others.

Attached: Suspiria-1977-review.png (1398x675, 1.11M)

I have never understood a film less than Possession. Legitimately felt like I had a 20 IQ for 124 minutes but it was incredible and I'm going to watch it a few more times and once I think with no subtitles and the sound off.

It filtered me so hard it's frightening. I watched a YouTube analysis and there was so much I missed that at one point I considered I had somehow seen a different film. Incredible feeling.

no clue what this is, but from the pic it looks like complete fucking trash. ill take a guess- mumblecore shit?

>he doesn’t know about reverse search

Opera is his best.

where do I start with middle eastern cinema?

>Larry Clark
I was close

I've actually seen Ken Park, it was ok. nowhere close to being a "pleb filter"

A few threads ago, some of you were shitting on Robert Eggers and saying that his films were "secretly capshit" or something like that. What's wrong with him and what does it mean when a non-capeshit film is "secretly capeshit?"

All of his movies are trashed as soft-core CP. There are also many reasons why Ken Park was banned and still isn’t available in the country it was filmed in.

Even though Clark is a failed director, he gets the ambience to a T. The Tate scenes were all uncomfortable and shined with this nasty energy (until he stabs his grand parents in the dark).

Peaches’, Shawn’s and Claude’s stories despite feeling unrealistic and cartoonish, are all based on true stories + local news garbage.

Super disturbing, one of the strangest feel-bad pieces of void i’ve been seen.

Made a typo
>reaching a climax where he stabs (...)
Besides Kids and Bully, Another Day In Paradise, Wassup Rockers and The Small Of Us are underrated. Godspeed however to find a DVD copy of each flick.

>What's your opinion on using music in a film?
If it's used appropriately, then it merely enhances the emotional content of a film. I for one could never imagine most Fellini films working without Nino Rota's scores.
But yes, oftentimes (not just sometines) it is just a crutch for lazy filmmakers.

This was such a ride, I tell you

If effective use of music is a cheap trick or gimmick, you're getting close to the "cinematography is bad" guy. Where do you draw the line?
It's a tool, it can really work if done well, it can be a disaster if done horribly.
What's cheap is using shit like children or animals in a narrative in order to evoke emotion.
