The art direction will be different, obviously, but the rest of the elements remain still. The auteur theory is mostly focused on the creative conception of the film; the end product is undeniably the result of the conjunction of forces and it certainly doesn't follow every single detail as planned by the director. It's not "right" but it's not "wrong" either.

Most directors are more or less like the coach..the actors, make up artists, photographers, set designers, etc. etc. all have to be incredibly talented to execute whatever ''vision'' the director may have and a lot of that ''vision'' comes from the writer and much of its realization comes from the cinematography dept...directors get a lot more credit/recognition than they deserve, mostly by people who are completely ignorant regrading film-making

I really REALLY praise quality over quantity. Very few directors I got to know all their works, like Kubrick, the Coens, Kurosawa, Scorcese. Preety entry level stuff and I like being that way. When I go my way with more slow and foreign films, it has to compensate with some nice substance, so only the best from the european directors and so on.

I try to do the same with books. I don't mind missing some Shakespeare plays. I like to move on to other and don't cling myself to it too much. If I go obsessive over someone, I really go mad, I had that with Picasso once and I couldn't stop reading about the motherfucker. In movies I had that with the Coens, watched their movies repeatedly for about a month, nothing but them. If I were to do this with everyone, I would go mad. With books, I had that obsession with Borges.

[Anonymous No.2433277]

I don't know, I don't trust people with many favourites. More than 10 favourites? That's just insane.

I'm making a short film right now and I always finding myself subconsciously returning to Godard, though he's far from consistently topping my list of favorite films with most of the efforts he makes. It might also help that the last film i've seen, and I haven't watched a film in awhile (I just got Julien Donkey-Boy sent here).

There's just something about noticing the way he's applied his...aesthetic? Across each of the distinct eras he's worked in. That I have a sense for how films like Alphaville, Hail Mary, Histoire(s) du Cinema, and now with something like Film Socialisme are a progression interests me; like a fine line of communication. I don't consciously ascribe myself to having favorite films anymore (It isn't healthy for an obsessive like me), but there's interesting ways to view the oeuvre and for applying tendencies in subtle ways, if you're interested in his films at all.

I watch anything nowadays when I have the impulse to, I don't have a preference for trash, or mainstream, or art house, or avant garde really. I just really enjoyed what I caught of 'Knowing' as much as I would anything else.

[Anonymous No.2433562]

I fucking adore Kubrick. yes, i know, he's the director that everyone uses as proof they like good quality films to the extent where he's almost become the "good films" entry director, kinda like miyazaki is the "anime shite" entry director.

However i just fucking love that man's stuff. and guess what, i get to actually relate this thread to literature! His adaptation of Barry Lyndon is in my opinion a genuine masterpiece, probably because i adore thackeray. but he toook a relatively unknown book and then unflinchingly transferred it to film without losing NY of thackeray's origional tone, which is brave as fuck given that it's probably down to thackeray's cynical and snarky tone that he's barely read anymore.
Although i must admit that im disappointed that kubrick didn't make a film of vanity fair as he'd originally intended.

Other directors... i dunno, jeunet for when i need to watch something light and fluffy, bergman for when i want to send myself into a fit of depression, scorsese is kinda cool. got to love his u turns. age of innocence was pretty damn good.

Fellini (the mid-to-late Jungian stuff's actually becoming quite rewarding watching), Ken Anger, Malick (because I don't give a fuck if you found the Tree of Life an affront to you as a spectator), Fassbinder (although his cinematic style is often incredibly prosaic), some Herzog and Wenders, but emphasis on the 'some' there, Wilder, Welles, Kiarostami, Tarkovsky, Godard, Scorsese, Nolan, some Antonioni and Pasolini, Weerasethkul, Noe and Haneke (I love this idea of the cinema of the spectacle), Hitchcock and Cluozot, Rohmer, maybe Tarr but I'll reserve my judgement until I get through Satantango, Kubrick (I suppose, just for 2001 and Lyndon)

I think it's the third Cremaster, confusingly enough Cremaster 5 that's the one he climbs the Guggenheim in. Cremaster 3 was the last one in the series and had a giant budget and is kind of the best one and climax of the series. Yeah, I'm not brilliant with avant-garde stuff to be honest, other than the most famous stuff like Brakhage and Maya Denn or what have you, but my sister goes to a lot of video art installations so I kind of have an idea of what's going on, and I suppose it's like anything in the 'artworld' these days (what the fine arts student calls the whole gallery, collection ideological construction thing), it's a stifling conceptual barrier all artists come against that ironically emphasizes the virtue of free creation, while pocketing all the money this liberty generates.

I mostly catch up with what's shown in the festivals, like TIFF or NYC's Views From the Avant Garde, which make their own attempts at things once in awhile, which reminds of what Kubelka did back in the day with a kind of specialized, uninterrupted viewing experience.

I visit the galleries at times, but not enough recently considering I practically live right next to NYC. Months ago, when I was more caught up, what I didn't see I heard about; For one, I used to like watching Ben River's films just as 'avant-garde cinema' per say, but while I found 'innovations' novel enough for what it was ('Origin of the Species' to be watched inside of a cabin), it seemed infantile. I hate to sound like a neckbeard, but i've started to become more interested in video games recently, and especially after reading about them, i've become more interested in the potential for them as a 'immersive' medium, though i've never been sold on the 'art games'.

I was trying to find a clip; it was part of 'Conversations with Jean-Luc Godard' on youtube where he covers art installations in an interesting way with some students.

godard was once a maoist who championed the murderous ideology of mao zedong and the khmer rouge. we condemn griffith and riefenstahl of their political sins, but griffith serioiusly tried to prove he was not a hater after 'birth of a nation'. and riefenstahl insisted she loathed nazism but had simply done as told. maybe they were full of shit but at least they tried to publicly distance themselves from extreme politics.

not godard who espoused the most extreme, murderous, and destructive form of leftism. film scholars, so outraged about long dead griffith and long irrelevant riefenstahl, never demanded of godard to face up to his past sins. unlike kurosawa and bergman who candidly confessed their cowardice in face or approval of, respectively, japanese militarism and nazism, godard has never ever apologized in general, or in specific to the countless victims of the tyrants he supported with all his heart.

godard celebrated and championed mao's total destruction of culture and intellectual life and the khmer rouge that transformed camodia overnight into a genocidal stone age marxist state. fuck that piece of shit.

I don't know guys... I don't think this thread works really. I mean, most posts are a) either unreplied lists of directors, b) trolling, shitposting and people complaining someone posted directors they don't know. I mean, cinema is such a young artform that pretty much anyone with an internet connection and some free time can get acquaintanced with most great/important directors in no time. Complaining about people being pretentious with regards to cinema is ridiculous, I mean, that's just literally projecting your ignorance outwards. If you don't know who resnais or whoever is, you don't LIKE movies that much, and that's ok.

But that is just wrong. Liking directors outside of the mass-market mainstream doesn't mean you LIKE movies more than other people. It just means that the quality of your LIKING is different.

>>2434481
>It just means that the quality of your LIKING is different.

No, it just means you like movies more, so as to go out of your way to find influential or important directors. People who watch a hundred films a month had to find "obscure" (which I still say almost doesn't exist in movies) directors just to satisfy their hunger. People who watch a couple of blockbusters every month don't have that need. I find it pretty obvious that the former likes movies more than the second.

[Anonymous No.2434515]

>>2434487
It's easier for film.

If you want to be 'pretentious' about music you need musical training, a good solid base in early popular music, classical music, etc. And there's a much larger amount of material. Literature is almost endless as well just to get a solid foundation, not to mention that you need to learn a couple of languages if you want to make it worthwhile. No one takes the time to read about photography or dramatic theory when discussing film, and film theory is pretty much taken as a joke.

[Anonymous No.2434519]

>>2434502
Not really. Watching more or reading more doesn't mean they are seeing movies with better eyes, enjoying it more or something on that sense. I'm not saying the blockbuster type appreciate it more, I'm saying they are doing it in different ways and that's all that you may say.

Because most people that say they enjoy movies are not even either of those. They don't watch hundreds and hundreds of films, but neither stick with the more of the same hollywood vomit.

Tarantino once said there are two types of movie buffs, those that love the movies they love and those that love movies, period. I think it makes sense and one must aknowledge that the first type is also a movie lover.

I don't feel a hunger for more films and new films, on the contrary, when I watch a good film, I like to digest it slowly, watch again after a year or two. I can't watch movies in a roll and I think that helps me appreciating them. It's just a different way to approach film.

I safely can say that most of his work, from Breathless until now, as being here or there, but i've watched a few exceptions.

He did a short, 'Anticipation, ou l'amour en l'an 2000', which is sort of like a very condensed 'Alphaville'...but you have to have liked something from Alphaville. Like a one scene film with an introduction that used some novel variations of the Brechtian tricks he used, and two characters speaking through fragmented language.

The first few sections of 'Histoire(s) du Cinema' move fast, with gusto, but the same thing I like about Godard is sometimes off-putting, so I guess it depends on how much tolerance you have for him at all.

But your comparison breaks down - if someone watches sit in front of the television and watches some movie channel all the time, like HBO or AMC, they will see more movies than someone who seeks out a variety of directors.

Is this person, who quantitatively watches more films than an obscure-hunter (Your objection makes sense, but I feel required to use it to make comparisons between consumers of purely mass-market films and the posters in this thread), a bigger film fan?

I think your logic would grant that distinction, but I also think that this conclusion is inconsistent with the spirit of your argument.

The solution is what I am trying to say - that these people enjoy films in different ways.
