Thread for the discussion of arthouse films and classic cinema.
They play "Happy Together" today in cinema in my city, i never seen it, should i go? I disliked In Mood of Love but i liked Chungking, 2046 and Fallen Angels. I like visually sumptous films generally, but dislike if they too sappy and sentimental. Should i get drunk before or take some benzo?
happy together is supposed to be really good but it's a gay movie. so if you have a problem with gay dudes, maybe skip it. i prefer fallen angels over chungking express.
Owen Gutierrez
is /film/ back?
Aiden Nguyen
are there scenes of fucking in the ass or sucking cock? Or is it gay like Tropical Malady is gay?
Logan Thomas
there's nothing like that. The two of them aren't even together for most of the movie
Going to see Ambulance at the kinoplex today. If there's a single second my lizard brain isn't stimulated, I'll know Bay's become a hack and leave immediately
Rec me some lesser known 1910s and 20s films, please. Watched some Yevgeni Bauer the other day (After death and Dying swan, I'd recommend those).
Luke Powell
Considering you just rec'd two films I've never heard of, you've probably already seen these, but in case you haven't I'd reccomend The Battle at Elderbush Gulch, Hearts of the World, and White Hell of Pitz Palu
Easton Clark
Die Stadt ohne Juden
Jacob Roberts
changed my mind again, 9/10
Adam Mitchell
can someone post the sticky where its got a bunch of blogs u can ue to download movies?
Josiah Garcia
Haven't seen those, so thanks.
Liam Hernandez
Sure.
Eli Johnson
>Haven't seen those, so thanks. Dang. I was expecting you to have seen those. Then here are all the 1910s films I've seen, roughly ranked. They are sorted by my ranking and then popularity. I'd reccomend all of them
Great, just what I was looking for. Do you know the names of the russian ones? I know one is Mother (have seen it), but what about the others? And the Japanese one?
Zachary Ramirez
Actually now that I think about it, it's probably his masterpiece. 10/10.
Cooper Watson
>Kino Eye (Dziga Vertov, 1924) >Mother (Vsevolod Pudovkin, 1926) >A Sixth Part of the World (Dziga Vertov, 1926) >Zvenigora (Alexander Dovzhenko, 1928) >Crossroads (Teinosuke Kinugasa, 1928) >The Steep Road (Victor Turin, 1929) I think I got them all, but let me know if there are anymore I missed
I've never seen a Rohmer film. Is A Tale of Winter a good start? I was planning to watch it around Christmas time, but never got to it
Dominic Robinson
what is the most /film/ country + city in the world?
Alexander Thompson
Tijuana, Mexico
Zachary Walker
>the retard who doesn't know what ADR is
Jayden Martinez
you can start where you want, his style and quality is consistent throughout his career. Tale of Winter is good, but ideally i'd start at the beginning. Watch his Six Moral Tales, The Comedy and Proverbs series, and The Fours Seasons series. They are only very loosely connected so skip around if you want. I started with The Collectors, then MNAM then Claire's Knee.
Lucas James
Tale of winter is trash. Collectioneuse and Chloe at Afternoon are his best
how do I understand Lacan or D&G applied to film? If you say Zizek I will post cp
Michael Long
What's wrong with Zizek?
Parker Jones
Zizek
Nathaniel Morales
I don't know specifically about applying Lacan or D&G as a whole to film but i am a bit versed in Deleuzes cinema "theory" which i find quite interesting and not too difficult to get into. There are plenty of youtube videos about it which you can listen to alongside reading Cinema 2 - The Time-Image (they say you need to read Cinema 1 first but i didn't)
Daniel Perry
he is more like a DJ than musical instructor if you catch my drift. which is fine if you're already familiar but not for learning something like Lacan. and I invoke him cause he wrote a book specifically on Lacan and film but "Introduction" is a marketing lie

what does film think about 'EAOO' and it becoming the #1 lbx narrative film?
Kevin Martinez
meaningless, its not like the charts on any of these sites (imdb, lb etc.) have ever been too interesting. i mean hell before eaoo it was parasite so who cares.
Lucas Barnes
what the fuck is EAOO?
Joseph Sanchez
*EEAAO - Everything, Everywhere All At Once I think we could do a lot worse for a mass cultural phenomenon. I'm more sympathetic to the cynical takedowns but it's interesting why this film in particular has become such a mass phenomenon with the youth and dilettantes. I think it's akin to this generations Inception. letterboxd.com/film/everything-everywhere-all-at-once/
Jace Thomas
different user here - imagine you've seen or heard of this
all well-known classic films and a very freudian analysis of course
Leo Collins
oh I saw the trailer for that a while ago and immediately forgot about it. I assume it's such a hit just because multiverses and asians are "in" right now. it's also something new that's not just a remake, rehash, retelling, or extended universe garbage
