/lit/ - Literature

>>13103805
Fuck sure why not, it's jot like it's replacing good literary discussion anyway.

MODS MODS MODS

>>13103805
ok

Thoughts?
Oh also mods please don't ban me for this. You will miss lots of great contributions if you do. This is just a one-time thing, I don't shitpost off-topicly, please forgive.

>>13103842
Ok I regretted it and deleted the post myself. You don't have to ban me or anything mods.(the post was asking for thoughts on Silence 2016,based on the book by Shusaku Endo)

MODS?

Using a label such as 'art film' is counterproductive for cinema as an art form.

What have you been watching /lit/?

>>13103974
But how else tell the difference? Superheros are not going away, no matter what you call it.

Everyone here needs to watch The Favourite
Don't look up anything about it, just do yourself a favor and rent it or something
It's my favorite movie of the past few years

>>13103805
What are good french films and tv shows? Trying to learn french so watching that stuff will probably help.

>>13104076
>pleb's Barry Lyndon
Nah thanks

>>13104062

Just started Malick's Badlands. What am I in for bros?

>>13104062
Just finished Magnolia. Too melodramatic, but overall a great film. The frog scenario seemed a little poorly thought out though.

>>13104123
I need to watch that. I've seen The Thin Red Line and loved it.

>>13104090
Les enfants terribles
The beauty and the beast jean Cocteau
The grand illusion
The list is endless...

>>13104123
What do you mean you just started?

>>13104090
French new wave is where it starts.

Watching some Greenaway kino tonight

>>13104090
Three Colours: Blue (1993)
Le Feu Follet (1963)
Cosmos (2015)

I watched Antiporno by Sion Sono and really enjoyed it. Are there more fast-paced, energetic and short but still artistic and visually impressive films like it? I don't watch films much.

>>13103828
Lucio Fulci is great, City Of The Living Dead and The Beyond are my favorites from him. They tend to look really good and have an interesting surreal atmosphere.

Films that you explore the relation between literature and cinema?

>>13104292
It's pretty obvious what the relation is.

>>>/tv/

tarkovsky is so passe

>>13104307
Exactly

>>13104299
No I mean,the merging.

Under The Sun Of Satan is the most /lit/ film out there

>>13104292
8 1/2 Felini

>>13104062
Vlacils' medieval movies. Marketa Lazarova and Devil's Trap are masterpieces.

Ordet and Joann d'Arc by Carl Dreyer. Great stuff, loved the screenplay

Also Bergman's Hour of the Wolf

>>13103805

Magnolia is great. I never actually saw the over dramatic angle that people always claim. I can sort of see it in Tom Cruise's performance and William H Macy's but PSH and Julianne moore gave some decent performances imo. I think the movie fits really well in the new sincerity movement which was its closest artistic context. Magnolia feels like a David Foster Wallace work but like...better.
>>13104090
I find watching older french films helps me practice. Less slang. I can understand Le Grand Illusion but if you put La Haine in front of me Im fucked.

I would reccomend Hideaki Anno's work specifically Ryusei Kacho if you can find a copy. Have you seen Love Exposure?
>>13104292
Maybe not what you're looking for but In the Mouth of Madness is in my opinion the most post structuralist John Carpenter movie

>>13103805
cinematography is shit, go fuck yourself

>>13103805
Just in case, I've been writing professional scripts for Pakistani/ghostwriting for a few western clients films for about two years now. Anything anyone wants to know? (Yea the industry is shit at the moment, imagine paying a Pakistani grad student to ghostwrite shit)

>>13104418
Never heard of it but it has a nice title. I'll check it out.

pic related are likes sort by when liked

>>13104062
Watched The Maltese Falcon yesterday, it was fun and I hadn't watched a movie since avengers 2 weeks ago and like a month before that.

>>13104221
>French new wave is where it starts.

>>13103805
>/tv/ sucks
I agree. They don't have a good taste in films the same way /lit/ has a good taste in books.
>/film/ is bust
what's that? 8-chan?

>>13104221
Old age Japanese monster movies is where it's at.

>>13104577
>watching Japanese monster movies to learn French

>>13104572
/film/ is a board some people on /tv/ have been asking for for years. Practically separating capeshit stuff,shitposting,politics etc(/tv/) and actual film discussion.(/film/)

>>13104196
Just saw Phantom Thread. What happens in the end? Reynolds dies and Alma is thinking about the life she could've had? Is it up to interpretation?

Would it be a good idea to watch every Palm d'Or winning flm this summer?

>>13104634
Yeah. Why not?

>>13104634
Ask yourself, would it be a good idea to read every Hugo winner?

>>13104595
I watch American movies to learn English.

>>13104658
This summer?

>>13104666
Nice trips.

>>13104658
That'd be like watching Oscar winning movies.

>>13104090
Would recommend
Les enfants du paradis
Renoir
New wave, especially Truffaut
Ozon made some nice films at some point
There are also some cool french comedy with Bertrand Blier

>>13104658
Hugo Awards are for sci-fi literature... how's that equivalent to the best film award in the world?

>>13104705
You know there's more than one film festival in the world, right?

>>13104720
Berlin, Venezia and Cannes are the three major ones. Cannes being the best of the three. All the other festivals not mentioned are memes.

>>13104062
Been watching Alatriste. It's overall pretty mediocre, but my hard-on for 17th century warfare was sated.

Watched Bergman's Winter Light the other week. As good as ever.

>>13104738
Right. Golden Bear and Lionare also prestigious, though not as much as Golden Palm.

>>13104062
earth by dovzhenko

>>13103805
Anyone have any opinion on what Stalker meant?

>>13104292
Synecdoche New York
Saw it recently and it was pretty good though a bit depressing

>>13104782
I think it's about religion. Scientist trying to destroy the hope of a common man to have a wish i.e atheism. Or it could be about technology, with the zone symbolizing the excess of technology.

>>13104782
Character or film?

>>13104062
Disregarding several uninteresting ones, I've seen some truly great stuff in the last two months. Mekas' Walden, Murnau's Sunrise and Stevens' Place in the Sun. I particularly have to recommend the last one, because it's formally a pretty standard classical Hollywood film, not attractive to pseuds like me and most other people here, but the actual story and acting are nearly perfect.

>>13104851
Film

>>13104531
What are you working on?

>>13104531
how did you learn to write scripts? any good books you recommend?

>>13104572
It actually existed for a while, but then it shortly got deleted. Type /film/ on the url.

Thinking of giving The Place Beyond The Pines a second watch.
To be honest, I started watching it because I saw that Mike Patton did the soundtrack (not gonna lie, I enjoy his work), but after 15 minutes or so I completely forgot about it, the narrative made it for me (at least when I watched it a couple of years ago).
In my memory it works like a snippet of American snippet of A Hundred Years of Solitude, minus the magical realism. You get this feeling of watching a fragment of a roller coaster of generational drama.
Again, I haven't watch it in a while, so if someone else has a different vision of it, I would love to hear it.

>>13104865
It's about the search/need for the transcendent. Highly archetypal story and characters. This is also obvious in the main musical theme that combines traditional Western and Eastern instruments, reshaped by the newest electronic instruments, so it doesn't belong to any exact place or time. Most dialogues deal with fundamental existential and epistemological matters.

>>13104949
ya dude its crazy how the film kills off the main character one third into the movie

>>13103805
I think A Brighter Summer Day in the most \lit\ film that I have ever watched.

>>13104062
Been watching the Greek nigga who made the killing of a sacred deer’s catalog. Finished the Favorite last night. It was okay. Not better than the Lobster, but I loved the cinematography.

>>13105009
that's nothing. have you seen Enter the Void? :^)

lads does tv have a classic movie general

>>13103805
just for reference, I have one of those bookmarked:

Psycho literally did this decades before.

>>13104544
>>13103828
what's up with so many people on 4chan loving polish cinema? is it really this popular and acclaimed worldwide?

>>13105106
You will struggle to discuss even the most entry level of classics on /tv/. There is no worthwhile discussion there. It's a pure shitposting board.

>>13105111
Not at all, you're thinking Love.

>>13105111
If what you mean by spermis a huge creampie seen from inside in the second last sequence, then yes

>>13105122
>is it really this popular
No
>and acclaimed worldwide?
Yes

>>13103828
>Cannibal Holocaust
>Zombie
I'm upset to see those ranked so highly next to actual gold

>>13105168
>Showgirls

>>13104851
how you watch mekas walden?. i cant find it online for years.

Whats your favorite Western movies, guys? Also what books give you a Western feel?

>>13105211
It was screened at a theater.
Curiosly, an another theater screened it again just yesterday, from a 16mm print.
So, you can't find it on rutracker?

>>13105175
Never seen that one, so didn't need to comment. But next to Winter Light, Carnival of Souls, Blue, and Strike, saying that fucking ZOMBIE is good is embarrassing

>>13105218
Currently, it's "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre"

I need to put some John Wayne movies on my list to watch.

why is there a film thread on lit. i thought lit was for literatute?

>>13105218
El Topo

>>13105211
>Kino Lorber released the film on Blu-ray in November 2015.
I'm sure there's a torrent somewhere.

>>13105197

>>13105235
