I'm always disappointed by how people dismiss Fitzcarraldo as kind of a curio piece only notable for the story behind it, I think it's a wonderful, charming film and one of Herzog's best.

Hey, tarkovsky's good

Anyone seen Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring? That's next on my artsy movies queue.

>>4360714

Skip it and see 'Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East?'. Attempts the same thing, only better.

I recently watched and enjoyed THE RED AND THE WHITE directed by Jansco, great long takes that you won't realize have been uncut for minutes

COME AND SEE which plods through some of the problems with any art about atrocity but is nonetheless a striking film. The sequence of Flyora after he has first become shell shocked is one of cinema's best

IL POSTO directed by Ermanno Olmi is a not quite so Italian Neorealist film. It avoids most of the polemic pitfalls of the genre by depicting a closer to true human experience. The New Years scene manages to be deeply sad and uplifting. Both young actors perform phenomenally.

Don Cherry's ROCK EM' SOCK EM' series is one of sport's best. The eccentric announcer has taken viewers through Hockey's best goals, hits, saves and plays since the late 1980s with the oft-heard exclamation of, "Let's go" put to the tune of a colorful soundtrack. "Boy, I tell you, those London, Ontario boys really know their stuff."

City of Lost Children is really great. I am watching Delicatessen with a friend later.

Pretty much everything by Kieslowski.

Patricia in Godard's BREATHLESS is remarkably similar to the young adult women that desperately want to define themselves as artful, knowledgeable etc. but are painfully pedestrian. She puts up posters of Renoir, she asks Michel if he's read Faulkner, lousy journalists and press pandering film directors impress her. She's an NYU girl being courted by a Brooklyn Community College boy.

>>4360726
Alright, thanks anon.

>>4360760
I found Delicatessen to be quite a bit better than Enfants Perdus.

The mirror by Andrei T.

Then maybe Persona by Bergman. Any bergman. Anything. Passion of Anna.

So art.

>>4360714
Don't listen to the other guy, it's a great movie, watch it.

>>4360516
>Coraline

Wow m8 I watched Marienbad with a qt named Coralie like a week ago

>>4360775
I was blown away by how plain Wild Strawberries was after watching the rest of his films. It's kind of like, 'here is the story, the story is it' and nothing more.

>>4360524
Good.

>tfw can't find La Dolce Vita anywhere
The ending is wonderful.

BOB LE FLAMBEUR released years before the "French New Wave" brings up the question, "What was the point of the new wave?" Films better than most of that output were being produced earlier and shot in similar style. Is it just the Hollywood name dropping of the directors that makes it stand out? Would no one else dare say Sam Fuller was an artist?

A Moment of Innocence goddamn that movie was beautiful. If anyone wants to recommend some really good Iranian films please do.

>>4360788
I too remember my first foreign film

>>4360783
"Shame" gave me the same feeling. I think these are the two most powerful movies I've watched, with >>4360788.

>>4360425
It's like Hemingway.

Once you know the backstory it is nearly impossible to come to a work without it being in the back of your mind. Unfortunately the way most people find out about Fitzcarraldo and Agguire is through Kinski's bullshit, so everyone comes in pre-loaded with a tonne of background knowledge.

Speaking of, Nosferatu the Vampyre was great too. I HIGHLY recommend Shadow of the Vampyre if you liked Nosferatu, or Dracula.

Another notable mention is Berberian Sound Studio. Very weird, beautiful little flick, and unsettling as balls. Toby Jones is fantastic in everything.

>>4360789
Protip: Godard copied Hitchcock

>>4360805
Spoiler: Hitchcock isn't that good. I won't say he's the Christopher Nolan of his time, but there are similarities.

>>4360814
>Isn't that good

I assume you mean 'isn't as good as he is made out to be' rather than 'not actually a good film maker' because he definitely was. You also can't deny his influence.

All these films are too pretty, /lit/. What about some grimy shit, like Carax or Noe? Ghosts... Of the Civil Dead was dreadful looking too.

>>4360825
>Noe
You've lost any credibility you may have had.

>>4360775
Persona and Cries and Whispers are the two best examples of cinematography in film.

Persona being the best in black and white; Cries and Whispers being the best in color.

You know this to be true.

>>4360777

Eh, perhaps I was too hard on dismissing it entirely, it is a good film, but Bodhi-Dharma is so much better to my mind that I'd recommend it over that any day.

>>4360793

>If anyone wants to recommend some really good Iranian films please do.

Sohrab Shahid Saless is a great Iranian director worth spending some time on.

>>4360814
>>4360825
Hitchcock's best skill was picking out stories worth telling. His technique and innovation as a filmmaker is just icing on the cake.

You look at 99% of the bullshit being made today, the stories are immaterial, the characters don't matter, and nobody really gives a shit what happens next.

Hitchcock made us DREAD what happens next. There's not been a filmmaker since with such consistently good storylines throughout their oeuvre.

Currently reading Point Omega by Don Delillo, might interest you OP. Reads pretty fast.

>>4360840

>Cries and Whispers

One of the most powerful endings I've ever seen. Who knew levity could be turned into such a brutal veil?

>>4360842
Hitchcock removed continuous temporality from cinema, and Godard copied his idea in Breathless.

>>4360855
You must be kidding. I was only talking about the cinematography, which I dare you to argue as anything other incredible, but in regards to the other aspects of the film it's still incredible.

The acting from all the actresses is phenomenal; the costuming and set design is also phenomenal; and if you don't like the story than that's your issue, I personally was gripped by the story pretty intensely. Have you never had a sick family member you needed to take care of?

>>4360764

Yes.

Underworld USA is an awful movie

>>4360714
It has some of the most beautiful cinematography. Definitely worth watching.

>>4360871
My best six hours of the last few months were spent watching this film.

>>4360875
American filmmakers ought to watch and study this film. This is how you make a thriller.

>>4360797
Have you seen 12 Years a Slave? I thought it was a lot more powerful if less subtle.

>>4360828
His movies may not be great overall, but he has most definitely mastered a sense of dread. He turns night life into absolute hell. Few movies have made me feel like I'm in a horrific drug induced hallucination like Enter the Void. If you know of films that do a better job of achieving similar effects, I'd love to hear some recommendations.

Brawl League is one of Fincher's best.

beautiful retelling of the biblical story of Job. Love it, even when I sort-of dispute its portray of martialism – which is obviously derides in favor of religious gnosticism. It might be the only aggressively religious film I enjoy

What do you guys think of ShaneCarruth? In all honesty I think the guy's a genius, his creativity is great, upstream Color and Primer both have insane storylines, I think he writes great scores for his movie, and while I think Upstream Color is a little edgy I thought the cinematography in both of his movies was just so well done

>>4361135
Absolute tripe. Horrifically, laughably bad,

Actually several people in the cinema did burst into laughter when the dinosaur appeared.

I wasn't laughing, I was incredulous. And simply for the near final act, the interminable white-robed hugging beach scene, I would gladly beat Malik with my fists.

>>4361148
I'll just add, as the title is 'beautiful films' much of the central part is beautiful. Incredibly intimate and subtle.

But I cannot forgive the excesses.

>>4361080
Is it real animal suffering?

>>4361148
Calm down, take a seat. Let the Christian pantheism wash over you. Let Malick, the MIT professor and Rhodes Scholar, give you a lesson on the philosophical distinction between gnosticism and materialism. Let him tell you the story of his childhood. Just chill, man. This modern attachment to irony is killing off all emotional authenticity. You can't even appreciate the transcendental without being laughed at.

>>4361148
>>4361149
Totally agree. If you want an actually good crypto-Christian film: >>4360854

That said, Malick's early stuff is decent.

>>4361148

Reassess Malick's work through the lens of the Heideggerian line of thought that he's been interested in and informing his artistic sensibilities with and you might begin to see his work anew.

Or you can maintain all the impetuousness and ironic incredulity of a first year film student, whatever floats your boat m8.

>>4361154
>irony
>>4361165
>ironic

Either some samefagging is going on here or the two of your are both drinking from the same crazy fountain.

My feelings about Tree of Life have nothing to do with irony or some school of film criticism, they are the responses of a person who admires art and beauty and honesty but despises heavy-handed, intellectually empty imagery.

Far and away the most successful aspect of that film is its portrayal of youth and family life. I honestly believe it is superb in that respect. The rest is pure dishonest pretentious bullshit.

PS I loved Badlands and was underwhelmed by Thin Red Line.

>>4361169

>intellectually empty imagery

Your pontification is so ham-fisted that lines like this border on oxymoron. An image is an image, the intellectual quality of which is discerned through subjective resonance.

>>4361165
Malick actually met Heidegger back in the 60s, and translated some of his work into English.

>>4361169
>intellectually empty imagery.
See, but that's where you're wrong. There are various essays detailing the religious and philosophical undertones in just about every scene of that film. Google can help; i'm hopeless when it comes to German existentialism.

Regardless, it's perfectly enjoyable on an aesthetic and emotional level. The cinematography alone justifies its existence.

The Wickerman.

Speaking of, Merry Christmas from Christopher Lee!

The Fire Within

>>4361181

Your accusations of pontification are hollow. I have made my point completely clear and without malice. Any misunderstanding is willful.

>An image is an image
You accuse me of ham-fistedness and offer this up?

>subjective resonance.
Define this phrase in a way in which you can differentiate it from 'opinion', I challenge you.

I, the observer, discern the intellectual quality of many of the scenes in The Tree of Life to be lacking. Further:

>>4361182
>you're wrong. There are various essays detailing the religious and philosophical undertones in just about every scene of that film.

AKA "You're too dumb to understand it." Which is bullshit. All of the big themes (beyond the childhood section) are completely vague and non-specific. You can render unto all of the space and afterlife metaphorical crap in that film whatever meaning you want, because they communicate very little of their own and leave everything to the observer. That is what I mean by "empty intellectual imagery".
Instead of vague references to internet documents containing all these secrets why don't you explain them yourself - and how do you explain the inability of the film to successfully communicate them?

>>4360751
>COME AND SEE
that movie's been on my queue for years. hoping my gf cops the dvd for my xmas gift.

>>4360855

>>4361259
Mah nigga!

Also, watch The Ister if you want to see Syberberg (SO charming) say some wild shit about Heidegger.

>>4361411
It's a delightful Christmas movie, watch it with the whole family!

"Mahler", a 1973 movie by director Ken Russell. It singlehandedly made me fall in love with Gustav Mahlers in general, and the 9th especially. Seriously, I'd do him.

I need to pander to you as though you were a simple child because you are naive enough to actually try and misappropriate the very same images we intellectually process and comment on as having noumenal meaning independent of onus to subjective human perception.

You negate the entire process of criticism through your bumbling fucking idiocy you witless shitkick.

Just stop.

haven't seen or read, but i like this text

>>4361553
Schroeter is one of my favorites, his Rose King I like very much along with the classic 'death of..'., didn't realize that was candy darling in that film until only a few days ago. On the German tip has anyone seen chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach? Been on my watch list for ages but haven't hit it yet, partially because I'm worried it sounds too still.. Can someone here stand by it?

lol?

The logical malapropism of -
>>intellectually empty imagery
Was a fault so integral that standing by it (and not conceding how honestly foolish it was) like you have continued to do has rendered criticism itself void for you due to your own intellectual conceits.

You both have a subjective opinion on the intellectual merit of images whilst standing by the assertion that images have an objective intellectual quality. This renders your very opinion as pointless. Not in my eyes. In yours.

The fact that you've tripped over yourself posts ago but still can't (or won't) see it makes you a joke. You are a joke.

Just here to say this thread was what /tv/ wished it could be
Until about 2/3rds way through anyways, and then /tv/ started coming here/raiding it
You guys should have more film threads

>>4361891
/tv/ here. I wish those guys would leave permanently.

/lit/ would make /tv/ so much worse with it's pseudo-intellectual wankery

at least right now the few cinephile type posters on /tv/ are friendly with each other for the most part.

if /lit/ came the few good threads on /tv/ would just turn into epeen measuring contests about which philosopher would most agree with their needlessly verbose opinions most

>>4361907

yesterday someone posted the picture of a sfw cute girl along a lit-related topic

the picture was deleted within minutes

then someone else posted a few more pics of cute girls, also with lit-related comments attached

then anons started complaining about the pics getting deleted. they complained about the way that Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ deletes anything she doesn't like -- including cute girls, apparently.

within minutes, the entire thread was deleted.

SHUT IT DOWN

>>4362137

Yep, that was the "What is humor?" thread.

Those deletions were absolute bullshit. Just proves that anything's fine on this board -- as long as it doesn't offend the janitor's personal taste.

You should reevaluate your opinion. Regardless of whether she's a janitor or not, her posts are generally worthless.

>>4362161
Doesn't matter. Slow boards earn the right of having off-topic threads every so often. The majority seem to agree that film threads are better on this board than on /tv/ anyway.

>>4362163
tip: if you're going to e-mail, hold off on the /pol/ victimization histrionics and just focus on the fact that she deletes things she doesn't like without any regard for the rest of the board.

>>4362153
How do you know she's the one who requested a ban on you?

why is /tv/ in here?

>>4362196

>How do you even know Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ is a girl?

She posted a picture of herself at some point.

See: >>4362170

That said, she claims to be against gender norms and wants to be addressed as a genderless entity.

Not sure whether she prefers to be called "zir" or "xir" or "zim" or "pher" or what.

In addition to regularly deleting feminist posts, this pretty much substantiates different Anons' claims that she's a radical feminist.

>>4362218
ask Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ. she's the janitor, apparently.

Saw this movie last night. It was so fucking good, dear lord.

This scene in particular, oh God.

>>4362209

Agreed.

Also: keep it factual. Include screenshots and links to posts.

Honestly, I don't see this as a /pol/ issue. I'm not from /pol/; I lean pretty left. The fact is that she's an awful janitor whose bringing the quality of this board down by deleting controversial lit-related threads and allowing banal off-topic threads.

>>4362224
it made me understand what's with all the hype surrounding Haneke. I still think Amour is the closest thing a movie'll get to a cure for insomnia.

Also, you guys seriously need to watch La grande bellezza.

>>4362232
cache is pretty good too. still haven't seen the white ribbon.

kek

this guy hates germany so much

>>4362241
> Cache

You know the solution to the film is that Haneke is sending the tapes to the characters and breaking the fourth wall, right?

>>4362074
i thought janitors are supposed to be anonymous

and why the fuck do you believe he's a girl

>>4362263
I should mention

> french people are racist against arabs

>>4362263
That's certainly one way of looking at it.

>>4362268
They are. It seems to be pure speculation that Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ is one. Either way, though, I do think the thread deletion is a little excessive, though I understand the need to avoid being /pol/spammed.

What should I watch tonight?

>>4362325
>i understand the need to avoid dealing with opinions outside of my radical leftist's little echo chamber

>>4362354
The Great Silence

>>4362354
>mfw not a single post 90s date seen

you're one of those dadrock film equivalents?

>>4362363
Great movie, and that's some sick ass poster.

>>4362396
The protagonist was a real sucker. If I were him, I'd ditch that blonde and move my residency inside Maud's bed for the next week or so.


I get the feeling not many people on lit care to talk about good films.

>>4362263
>french women are into femdom

confirmed not knowing a single thing about Haneke...you didn't watch the movie, did you?

because...y'know...it wasn't about femdom at all.

>>4362263
Also, The Seventh Continent was REALLY good...but you don't reference that, because you don't know...

>>4362461
>>4362224 here, thanks for the recommendation, I'll check this out tomorrow for sure.

>>4362272
I didn't really get that out of Cache. If anything you could claim it a metaphor for white guilt, although I think that there's too little evidence to adequately do so.

>Actually several people in the cinema did burst into laughter when the dinosaur appeared.

I remember hearing, "I didn't come to see the fucking Land Before Time."
