L' Atalante (1934) inconnu 10/22/15 (Thu) 18:32:07 No.6073 [Open thread]

I thought it was aesthetically efficient. I liked the offbeat tone and the disregard to standard filmic narrative. I also liked the combination of a sterile and gritty dreamlike Paris (devoid of any charm and magic) habited by marginal and borderline grotesque characters, going opposite to what is often being promoted by the media. But at the end of the film I realized it was nothing to write home about. A very simplistic and carefully constructed story done with occasional doses of flare and passion, surprisingly never losing the diegetic ground for unconvenient mistakes that might've prejudiced viewing immersion. A precise film.

I'd like to hear what you folks thought about this one.

I liked it, simplicity and all. I'll grant you that the ending didn't amount to much, but up to that point it kept me guessing. I thought we'd probably see beautiful Paris, and perhaps there would be more conflict between Jules and Jean (the boat love triangle trope). Vigo's writing and Michel Simon's acting were both sharp.

It also had several silent movie sequences. Most people probably don't even think about it, but the wordless montages of characters wandering around the streets is a silent era construct. It's fun to spot these silent sequences in sound films; John Ford is another director who used them a lot.

Outdated film tecniques inconnu 10/17/15 (Sat) 23:30:24 No.6021 [Open thread]

For me, is the fade away. It is useless. Other than expressing a relation of brief temporal/spatial shift between a two determined events (A and B) it is succintly limited and archaic as a form of communicating ideas.

A fade away inside the current filmic system is bound to failure. A modern hollywood film averages 2000-3000 cuts. In this case a fade might even break a film's diegetic reality.

A filmmaker that indulges with this technique is deriding the medium, attempting to prove something by asserting a domain of montage which he clearly does not retain. Thus the use of this technique should be energetically disencouraged.

Outdated or not, I wish closeups were used much more sparingly. If there's only one or two per film suddenly the closeup has more power.

I guess actors want to be seen and audiences want to see them. But it's not very interesting to look at one face, then another, then back ... continuously. There are many other unique things to do with visual composition. I'm hoping larger TV screens help trend away from this overused shooting style.

Agree with this 100%. Taking away other character's reactions to the conversation and their environment removes complexity and creates boring scenes.

I think the close up can be used quite well, like that one in one flew over the cuckoo's nest where the camera just seemed to linger on nicholson's face for what seemed like an eternity.

Close-ups can be very effective when combined with a good work on the montage. I agree with you though, today filmmakers are more focused on using it as a quick and cheap method of building up tension rather than forming a coherent filmic language.

Truth is, they pander to the short span of modern masses. This generation of mainstrean moviegoers grew up watching television and video entertainment - bad entertainment - more than any other, and this fact unfortunately reflects on the overall state of cinema today. It's quite sad.

Well, anyway, I prefer a tracking shot with a precise and dynamic blocking rather than an abrupt zoom in a subject. Of course that's just me.

Miquette et sa mere is like watching a funny play. The actors play it big. But I just read that

This is pretty much the only reason for people. Aliens froze your emotions is apparently so much more retarded that it offends the tricky snake forced an apple crowd beyond respecting anything he does as an actor.

That being said, he's functionally been out of it for a good while. Valkyrie was the last thing he did that I'd consider /film/ tier and Eyes Wide Shut was definitely his peak.

Film Club Suggestions inconnu ## Board Owner 03/01/15 (Sun) 16:48:28 No.3564 [Open thread]

At /film/ we have an ongoing Film Club which features titles suggested by the board. Usually there's a different theme each month. The tentative plan for March was to start Concerning Violence in a few days while choosing two other films for later in the month.

However since Concerning Violence is not yet widely available outside private sites, many members may not be able to watch it. If anyone has a link, we can still do it. Otherwise we'll wait until later.

Either way, the floor is open to suggest interesting films to be featured this month and beyond. We can continue February's theme of newer releases, or look at political documentaries, or perhaps there's another theme you'd like to explore. Let's hear your ideas.

You can't get anyone to look at your script unless you're part of the Union. You can't be part of the Union unless you're working. You figure out the Catch-22 here.

I swear it's a protection racket.

Best move would be to re-draft your story as a novelization and publish that. You don't need anyone's permission for that, and if it catches on and Hollywood comes calling, then you can hit them with the script.

I watched this today.

Now there will be a new point dividing my life.

This is what happens when you mix 8-1/2 and Persona.

There can be a tinge of sadness in Japanese films. Characters will exhibit values of self-control and stoic resilience. Try Sansho the Baliff and The Naked Island.

Also check out one of my favorite 1960s American films, The Swimmer.

Stroszek hasn't been mentioned, but take it from Ian Curtis that the film is a downer

Hibakusha Cinema inconnu 08/07/15 (Fri) 01:41:31 No.5390 [Open thread]

Today marks the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima, so let's get talking about Hibakusha cinema.

What films or documentaries have you seen/plan on seeing that reflect on the bombing or cope with themes relative to that event.

Some of the material is difficult to stomach – even the brief archival footage used in Hiroshima mon amour for example.

This silent color short from the US Air Force was filmed 9 months after the detonation.

Great topic. I was thinking about this too.

A couple films I want to see are Children of Hiroshima (1952) and Black Rain (1989). Shindo is one of my favorites and Hiroshima was his hometown. I've never seen anything from Imamura so I'm interested to check him out.

And what about Nagasaki? Kinda overlooked. I know there was less damage, but they still got nuked.

You could try Children of Nagasaki from Keisuke Kinoshita
