very enjoyable movie. All the action is scored by chemical brothers and it's immaculately shot. You should go into it though thinking it's first and foremost a coming of age story as apposed to a suspense thriller (although it does the suspense very very well IMO)

now are you really gonna argue american psycho is a bad movie?

>>7376796
What I appreciated about resevoir dogs is that the whole thing feels like a single-room stage play.

It's entirely driven by the plot and acting -- there's nothing extraneous.

You could do the entire thing on stage and it would be just as good.

>muh tarantino so deep
taranto is pleb shit and you should feel ashamed for liking it

>>7377073
>not liking someones work because the public is aware of him
youre such a nerd ask any movie critic who sure as hell knows more than you do if Tarantino is a good director

And here comes all the kids who are going to shit on Tarantino.

I feel like it's because they grew up in the aftermath of his influence and can't tell his work from that of the people who ripped him off.

Do the words "language of film" mean anything to you people? What guys like Spielberg and Coppola took from Eisenstein, Tarentino took from the 99 cent bin at video world. He revitalized and enriched movies by revealing to us a cultural and artistic history we never knew we had.

>>7377117
thanks dan
no really, i agree with you

clerks

>>7377117
when stupid kids watch pulp fiction and ask "what was so special about that"

they dont realize that at the time that was so innovative. movies werent doing plots like that back then it was all linear, now theres a lot of movies that rip off the structures of tarantinos films especially the ever so influential pulp fiction

Bela Tarr films are /fa/ as fuck

>>7376787
alternatively, hannah and her sisters is a great movie

>>7377358
Match Point is pretty /fa/ for a Woody Allen movie. Especially seeing as they dress Jonathan Rhys Meyers is Saville Row bespoke for nearly the entire fucking film.

>>7377148
funniest shit i've ever read
i'm in hysterics seriously even though you're obviously kidding, 10/10 printing this out to show my friends

>>7377100
depends on the critic, fucker. not everyone agrees with your ass

Shame

>>7377151
the fits in films like werckmeister and andrei rublyev are so cool and i have no idea how you would go about dressing like that they're on some carpe diem shit man

>>7377148
r u srs bby?
pulp friction is a romp and a half, lots of tarantino "wowzee ya gots me i am aroused/surprised" moments, but it's not some groundbreaking narrative piece. it's a pulp collage on film, that's all it was meant to be.

my fave qt film is probs jackie brown. that shit is tuned so finely to the LA that quentin plays from.


also i'd love to see tarantino cry as the modern cinema slaverycrown is torn from his veiny brow and thrown on steve mcqueen's limey head.

>>7377148
pulp fiction is the citizen kane of cinema!
>what tarantino fans actually believe

>>7377397
>people namedropping citizen kane as best film

That hasn't been true in decades. Citizen Kane was notable for being the first really clear example of Auteur Theory in american cinema.

At the time it was released, and for a few decades afterwards it was the greatest movie to ever come out of the American Hollywood system.

But Most Critics agree that it's been surpassed by films like Amadeus or The Godfather.


Namedropping internet faggots still like to bring it up though, just to prove that they've seen/heard of it.

>>7377437
dan that's just wrong plus the only reason he brought it up was because it's the easiest way to completely disprove the nonsense in this post >>7377148

i don't even know what to make of the last part of your post because i can't really understand how you would namedrop possibly the most widely recognized film ever, i think that might be a product of your imagination

i thought you were better than this

>>7377437
District 9 was the best movie to come out in 15 years

>>7377460
>easiest way to disprove
well it didn't disprove anything. It was a name drop and that's it.

Honestly, I don't even like Citizen Kane.

Greatest film ever made? Only because our command of montage was so underdeveloped in the 40's that it blew everything else away.

You don't have to look very far forward to find films that match it in technique but are better acted, better written, and match it in technique.

Hitchcock's vertigo for example.

Fuck, I think Welle's own Touch of Evil surpasses Citizen Kane in technique and application of montage.

By any measure, Citizen Kane has a weak as fuck script.

>>7377505

this isn't true
citizen kane is a counterexample
that is all i'm saying

it's fine if you don't like kane even though i fucking love it, and i've seen a lot of movies
a very convincing argument could be made for vertigo topping it

>>7376641
Can we just agree that David Lynch is effay as fuck?

>>7377505
Citizen Kane is a technical masterpiece. Every shot is so deliberate and detailed. The story itself is fucking boring.

Shit dude, my friend recommended this to me saying "You haven't seen Waking Life? You'd love it! It's totally up your street"

And he was right. I absolutely adored every fucking aspect of that film. I came here to make recommend this film but it seems you've cut my purpose short.

Seven Samurai. Or anything by Akira Kurosawa really.

>>7377633
OP here. David Lynch is /fa/ as fuck.
I saw Drive and Antichrist last week. Both very goodtier movies

>>7376846

this but I didnt like enter the void. its boring exploitation imo

also:

american psycho

shogun assassin
good movie and it makes liquid swords that much more enjoyable to listen to after

John dies at the end.
Opinions? I simply loved it, especially the first part.

>>7377834
Oh yeah, totally. I've heard a more elaborate version of grandfather's axe paradox before but watching that intro, as baked as I was, I knew I was in for a fucking awesome ride.

Also I love the parts where he knows he has this power and that no one around him knows about it.

"I could blow your world away Arnie, if I show you what's in this container you'll never feel at one with the human race until the day you die."

Very funny, I appreciate the proper special effects too.

City of Lost Children

Another classic from a great era in cinema

>>7379507
fantastic. idk about including last days

>>7377834
Having read the book first ruined the movie for me. It was complete shit compared to the book, especially the second half. The second half was awful.

>>7379573
nah dude, totally the opposite
it was a fun movie that would have been totally pointless without having read the book

it's kind of a miracle that the book managed to be funny in the first place considering the author writes for fucking cracked

Man with a Movie Camera

The Cinematic Orchestra version, that is.

>>7379701
Cool movie, Vertov is awesome. But Vertov and Kuleshov saw art, film especially, as a propaganda tool which isn't very /fa/.

>>7379722
I didn't know that. But for me, I look at the movie like I'd look at porn: specifically, film porn (technically speaking), footage porn, and in that particular version, musical porn.

It was just a very enjoyable ride.

>>7379737
There's actually some pretty cool film history in the Russian constructivism(pre-stalin)/formalism(after stalin) era.

Kuleshov was one of the first film theorists/professors. Taught both Eisenstein(who directed Battleship Potemkin) and Vertov. Eisenstein broke off and went in a more narrative direction, while Vertov stayed with Kuleshov and made non-narrative films. They were all super interested in Rodchenko, pic related.

It's basically the start of montage theory. Vertov and Kuleshov were interested in the "collision of images" while Eisenstein was interested in the "linkage of images"

There's 4 types of cuts that they came up with:
i. Rhythmic –generalized action
ii. Tonal – colors/lighting/tone
iii. Form – one shape to another
iv. Directional – car chase (Godard famously plays with this in the beginning of Breathless)

When the Russians get their art right, it's hard to top.
Tarkovsky is the obvious name that comes to mind, I'd recommend anything by him p much.
Also check out Klimov (Come and See) and Motyl's White Sun of the Desert, both are def worth watching.

>>7379845
>Rodchenko, pic related
Sorry, thats a clip from Nostalghia.
here's a rodchenko pic

>>7379845
Thanks a lot. I always felt like I was missing a lot of stuff there, and just scratched the surface.

Will def check out, and keep the context in mind while watching.

There's something about Russia indeed.

I see this and raise you "Plein soleil", the "better" version of Ripley.

I mean, Alain Delon. Come on.

>>7381903
definitely check out Purple Noon (french title Plein Soleil) by René Clement starring Alain Delon. It's the "original" film adaptation of the book. Pretty much this board's dream

>>7381964
woah are you me?

>>7379518
>>7381964
>>7379685

yep, yep

gossip girl

Since everyone is talking about Delon: In Le Cercle Rouge there is this washed up sharpshooter who lives in an apartment where the most of the furnishings are Louis Vuitton portable wardrobes. Shit, how i wanted to live like that the first time i saw that movie...

>>7381966
>>7381964
i have heard purple noon is also very good but find it hard to believe it could top matt and law's performance. i'll definitely have to watch it soon.

>>7379525
well yes you can, tell me this can't be worn today

>>7379845
Tarkovsky is really is among the top three directors ever, along with Bergman and maybe Kurosawa. The birch forest scene from Ivan's Childhood is the most beautiful scene i've ever seen.

Tokyo Drifter is very aesthetically pleasing. Watch this scene, it's not spoiling the movie because the story is a clusterfuck anyway.

Enter the Void is far more interesting if you've read the Tibetan Book of the Dead, have knowledge of DMT, the possible interdependent relationships between the two, and have meditated and deeply thought about the Bardo, otherwise, sure, it's a very boring piece of work.

It's kind of the same with Holy Mountain, and having a deep appreciation for occultism and mysticism prior, so you can get the absurdist simulacrum of it all.

Really not trying to come off pretentious here, because that's just my personal view.

>>7382427
but the idea of the Tibetan book of the dead is only explored at the very end (which was rather decent, I have to admit), but the rest is 2 hours of French cunts doing drugs in Tokyo with sparkly lights (who doesn't like sparkly lights, righ? I don't)
Weesatakhul does a better job at exploring transmigration.
Also the thing I don't like about Jodorowsky is that his symbols are way too obvious and that takes away from the fun one might have at attemp interpretations of his films, but that's just my opinion

>>7382557
Those are some pretty valid points. I haven't seen Weesatakhul's exploration of the bardo/transmigration of the consciousness, so for me, Enter the Void was pretty novel. I also don't really care for Jodorowsky's ubiquitous symbol/imagery of youthful people getting shot with colorful paint projecting out of them, and birds flying away from their hollowed corpses. It feels especially awkward the way it's forced into Holy Mountain.

Is Lawrence of Arabia /fa/?

>>7376661
i watched this last night because you suggested it. i enjoyed it

Huh, /fa/ movies.
I don't think I know what an /fa/ movie is. At first I thought we were talking about 'style over substance' movies, but after reading through this thread I think I was mighty wrong.

This thread proves exactly what /fa/ movies are. Movies you can mention and talk about to make yourself look good.

See, the movie itself is only secondary, it's all about YOU!

As long as you can talk about obscure, rare, old or popular movies or as long as you can create controversy for preferring certain styles over others you are absolutely golden!

/fa/shionable movies are movies you can wear like clothing. It makes so much sense.

>>7382685
Very /fa/ because it was ultimately Kubrick firing shots at the establishment and contemporary priest class of our shadowy rulers.

>>7382696
True that.

>>7382692
not really anon
just movies you enjoyed

On the theme of Stanley Kubrick...

>>7382730
Basically every Kubrick film is a /fa/ masterpiece.
>also, dat zeiss ƒ/0.7~~~~~~~~

One of you guys recommended this, it's really good.

Love exposure one of the most /fa/ films damn

>>7382715
then why do people feel the need to argue and call each other names? surely we all know that tastes differ?! 90% of these posts feel very... 'yea that's fine but my taste is superior to yours', but then again, that's every other thread on this board.

I watched that again the other day.
it's just really good
never actually recommended it to anyone though cause I reckon most people I know would think I'm king of the perverts for liking it

does anyone know the name of this movie
i saw it about a year ago and forget to bookmark it

it was about a couple that were into some weird sexual shit and would lie and manipulate ppl and just fuck with their heads for no reason

like the first bit they encouraged some random honeymooners in a bar to do a foursome

the dude raped and "murdered" his wife in the woods and pretended to be an actor after being picked up by the cops in suspicion to her murder

at the end of it they were obviously cheating and went to home to their own seperate families

idk what the other parts were but it was weird movie and i want to watch it again
