Film is a lazy modern medium, all it has is a cinematography that tricks the instantly gratified into a true, purely human emotion. It's primarily entertainment, and at very best a lower artform. For whatever it is in those moments of its artistic uniqueness, juxtaposed to the older, far nobler arts which we call the "traditional". And whereby a modern European Christian definition of art is given, the fine art of that definition which the Greeks had sort to thunk all of mans creations, in which there was no specific word for the fine of the arts, but it was known as it were intuitively, that a poet could not exist without divine inspiration. Above all film is extremely overrated by midwits who liked to hail it as the "artwork of the future", and it is only a sign of our modern cultural and artistic decline that it is called the medium of the 20th century. It includes so little worth of itself contrasted to the true arts, but it mercilessly steals what it can to bring to the alter. And on this very stone is sacrificed just as mercilessly any work of art before it that it deems possible to use for its lazy mission, as it corrupts it down to its level. The piece is useful for the specificity of the film, and that is that. From the limited potential of film, to its utterly disastrous manifestation as an art-form, developed under jews and lukewarm liberals, paedophiles and sodomites.

Don't get me wrong however, I enjoy good films, but there is always a problem when one assumes it to to be what it is not.

i can only get into lynch because i hate movies and think he does to so all his films just mock film in general.
film is much closer to vidya than literature or the visual arts in terms of artistic worth

>>16481591
it’s a good movie. Kubrick autistically had new lenses invented in order to shoot the candlelight scenes

tastelet losers who are too uncultured to appreciate the unique charms of the seventh art

>>16481578
any Kieslowski fans in here?

Bowie was great in this

>>16481625
>tastelet losers who are too uncultured to appreciate the unique charms of the seventh art
I enjoy it, but the "seventh art" is a little advantageous for cinema alone, it should be held just for anything using imprinted light, photography and such.

Favourite soundtrack:

Exception cinematography and end sequence. Denis’ adaptation of “Billy Budd”

>>16481596
lol beat me to posting this.

>>16481654
need to rewatch Il conformista

>>16481578
Is that from The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover? I ask because I want to warn everyone against that movie as it is reddit-teir pseud shit

>>16481669

>>16481671
It’s visually stunning but pretty vapid content wise. Greenaway’s ‘Zed and two noughts,’ ‘Draughtsman’s Contract’ and ‘Belly of an Architect’ are far superior

What do you guys think of Béla Tarr?

Is his Turin Horse good?

>>16481578
Pic related obviously.

>>16481700
show me someone who likes bela tarr and i'll show you a liar

>>16481700
Don't start with it I'd say, it works as his final work and can be a little alienating if you aren't familiar with him. Werckmeister Harmonies is great intro.

>>16481712
Aight, thanks man.

>>16481700
insufferable and overly indulgent in duration. just watch Bergman. or Andersson for something lighter but better

>>16481717
Or watch them all and come to an informed opinion on your own.

>>16481717
There’s an awful lot of Bergman and Antonioni that I’d rather be dead than sit through.
orson welles said that

>>16481728
you're all so virtuous aren't you? 'i haven't seen it so cannot safely pass judgement on it' nah m8 you say 'dno just hate it' all day

>>16481738
every great director had his flops, but the silence of god trilogy and cries and whispers are peak kino. shame, hour of the wolf, wild strawberries, these are no slouches either

>>16481751
and persona ofc, how am i so retarded to forget that one

>>16481700
i started watching Satantango yesterday, but stopped since i didnt have time to watch the whole thing anyways, certainly has me interested

>>16481578

>>16481751
i loved the seventh seal, but both persona and cries and whispers were pornographic, self indulgent trash. killed my interest in bergman. apparently ebert thought he was good too, so thats another strike against him

>>16481751
cries and whispers is still the only bergman ive seen, i thought it was fantastic

>>16481782
Watch Fanny and Alexander its something else.

Charls Carroll is the greatest cinematographer/movie maker alive today, just mark his use of the tri-screen, possibly inspired by Abel Gance, here:

Kieslowski chads arise

>>16481751
think he was calling them boring.
though since you mention it, o welles had no clear-cut artistic failures on his record

>>16481821
God Irene Jacob was so cute in that and in Red.

>>16481821
watched 5 kieslowski films in the space of a week when i was 19, liked them a lot (esp bleu & veronique), and never watched them since

>>16481823
correct, his failures were strictly personal

>>16481837
dekalog & a short film about killing are very worthwhile

>tfw no Ozu gf

>>16481843
no argument from me there. he was so clearly a genius, and so clearly should have been left alone - no matter what crazy thing he did

I can't believe this kino was directed by the same guy who made fucking Gone with the Bullets. CCP must've censored his soul away

>>16481886
Ozu is great at what he does but it feels like every film of his is the same.
Floating Weeds is better than Tokyo Story btw

>>16481862
not sure. i was awful & pretentious at 19, if i watch some of this now it might ruin him for me

This is like a shittier Film general from /tv/. You're obviously hail from that shithole. Why don't you remain there if you're not even going to discuss literature, you tourist faggots.

Made by Jean Genet

>>16482115
That thread always dies during American hours, maybe /lit/ can keep it alive.

>>16482124
un chant d’amour is beautiful

>>16482115
post taste in kino or fuck off

>>16482124
Is it meant to be a homosexual film?

>>16482157
>Genet
>gay
who ever could have imagined such a vile thing you absolute degenerate

fucking faggots

>>16482166
Why is he sucking another mans smoke?

>>16482157
yes

>>16481578

only Germans know

>>16482639
Is this Siegfried?

Is this the new /film/? Should we keep it a secret from burgers?

>>16481625
I don't understand why The Double Life of Veronique is quite underrated by some critiques. It's not just a """prototype""", but also an essential film of his works for me.

What's the verdict on Lav Diaz /lit/?

>>16482648
Best Mary, pbuh.

>>16482743
Yes

>>16483019
yeah, I can see why God saw her and thought she should b the one to bear his child

>>16481829
Who and where from?

>>16483258
Anna Karina and from France. She's in a ton of Godard films.

>>16481797
charls is fantastic. love this fucker

>>16481599
what about film as a method of capturing art instead of an art form itself?

Fellini best Italian director

For me it's a man asleep

>>16483485
i vitelloni best work

>>16481669
One of the best looking films ever
