> his wife was a member of the Nazi party

Somehow I never knew that. Not a pretty woman but she was a great screenwriter.

<A Nazi banner flew over Lang’s house in the early 1930s – and while many ascribe that action to von Harbou – Gottfried Reinhardt and Harold Nebenzal told McGilligan, “Lang was lax in tolerating the Nazis and flirted with Party approval.” Whether Lang was a Nazi sympathizer is still an unanswered question and McGilligan states “evidence lingers on either side of the issue” and while it is likely that a definitive answer will never be forthcoming, it belies the hard-line, anti-Nazi stance that Lang would affect in Hollywood and indicates that what we think we know about Lang is no more than the smoke of myth. One thing that will become clear is that it wasn’t von Harbou’s politics that led to the divorce. One reason for Lang’s flight might exist in the sense that the Nazis had a party member in von Harbou and an apolitical and troublesome personality in Fritz Lang.

The flag was probably 100% Harbou's idea but Lang most likely did not care either way about the politics, just like every one else at the time. I can't fault him for not predicting the future and seeing what would happen during WWII.

> do you just watch random stuff?

I download random obscure stuff because it can lead to interesting places. Previously I would force myself to watch everything to the end. I think that carries over from my stubbornness against quitting in general. But lately I find myself wanting to stop films that don't hold my interest. I'm thinking about trying an ADD approach to viewing, hop from different films as the mood strikes. I think Raoul Ruiz said he did the same thing with books. He would read a number them at the same time.

>How many films do you watch per week? Per year?

I always try to watch at least 150 movies a year. Sometimes I get too busy to watch movies for weeks, then binge through 20 movies in a few days.

>Do you still go to the cinema?

By the time I might even find an interesting movie from the current year, it isn't even in movie theates anymore. I usually stick to pre-2000 for the most part.

>Do you track your viewing on a website or spreadsheet?

Simple spreadsheet that lists the movie, date released, and whether I liked it or hated it.

>Do you try to complete viewing lists and filmographies, or do you just watch random stuff?

I used to think I watched randomly, but from keeping a list I find I tend to watch in groups of the same decade or genre. If I don't feel like anything is interesting enough, I'll find a list and try to watch something to get me interested in movies again.

Yeah I see a lot of entries about the mob in Marseille. I thought the city might have improved a bit since these movies were made, but it sounds like there's still a lot of crime and corruption there.

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/jun/17/marseille-crime-fiction-rose-sang

Wikipedia even blames current populism for pushing minorities into crime... I hadn't heard that logic before, but I suppose anti-immigrant populism empowers hardliners on the other side of the issue.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milieu_%28organized_crime_in_France%29

<A global push for populism and anti-immigrant sentiments have led to increased Milieu activity. Minority members of French society are being lured into crime families as a way of "fitting in".

I think it's safe to say, in the current climate, that Marseille is not doing very good these days.

I was going to say that before but i don't like being too inflammatory around here.

>Wikipedia even blames current populism for pushing minorities into crime

Populism is a lot of things depending on the population (and its majority) but in the case of Marseille, i don't know who really is "the minority", if their populism is for or against France and if we talk in "traditional" definitions, are foreigners the majority of criminals because of populist/anti-immigrant sentiments or said sentiments are being distilled because foreigners are the majority of criminals?

These days some stuff happening makes definitions and words change way too fast

Well I haven't heard anything particularly bad about Marseille lately, unlike Calais or Cologne or London. So I wasn't sure what to think about it.

As for the wiki page, I'm sure they are blaming National Front supporters for a bad kind of populism that leads to a negative reaction in others. Their hypothesis is probably true to a degree. At the same time, bashing euro populism is more about being politically fashionable than identifying root causes. In this case I think it's being used to blame-shift for the actions of criminals themselves -- and also the actions of political elites whose policies created many of the societal problems in the first place.

Surprised there's no Criterion thread yet.

I'm interested to see some of the Fassbinder blurays coming out. I've also got John Ford's My Darling Clementine ready to watch whenever I have time. And I'm happy to see my favorite Todd Haynes movie getting an HD upgrade in the near future.

The last Criterion I saw was the Ray Milland supernatural mystery The Uninvited. As I expected, it was good but not great. It rates about the same as Ministry of Fear, another decent Milland Criterion.

I have a soft spot for weird subjects, like the paranormal, unsolved mysteries, that sort of thing. The genre is utterly flooded with bullshit from every angle possible making it impossible to find the good quality documentaries.

What's some good documentaries on abnormal happenings, urban legends or unsolved mysteries?

Quick move there, i got scared my post was for nothing and probably you won't find it useful but i will try look something.

I think i read something about ""Skinwalker Ranch"" getting a documentary. I spend moderate amounts of time reading about paranormal (except the spiritual/alchemist aspect) and to be fair the entire field of the paranormal is filled to the brim with bullshit but the very few instances that are legitimately intriguing are the reason to keep going, still i don't quite recall good filmed work discussing it.

I do remember a couple of decent TV programs from an old Argentinian channel dedicated to this genre (that drastically changed its focus after it got absorbed by Time Warner around 2007) it was about "casual activity", meaning stuff that was widely known and experienced by regular people but still was paranormal in nature (folk belief) namely highway shadows that almost every interstate driver has seen. The argieanon will probably remember the channel but most of the content from it went bust, at least in the rest of the continent, i never saw any of its original programs again. Just checked and there's a listing of the programs' names, i will try to check if i can find something interesting because they also had a lot of bogus before the handover.

We can stop reading here, somewhat related historical rambling that i just realized ahead:

My pop also had a bunch of VHS tapes with old documentaries, somehow Latin America was very receptive to these things. There was one about a triangle sector in Puerto Rico were a famed entity trolled people at night and sucked the blood of the farmstock in the mid-70's: El Vampiro de Moca (Moca's Vampire) it was just a local thing until it reappeared in the late 90's again (1996 i believe) in that instance it was re-dubbed Chupacabras (Goat Sucker) but the inconsistent thing here is that, while it became more rampant in its antics, the locals were divided with 2 very different descriptions; Many saw something like the original one, a giant bat thing that flePost too long.

Hey, /film/, thought I would start a thread on independent film makers that browse here. Just finished my fantasy film two years in the making, working on some final music selections (very minimalist).

We wanted to make a basic fantasy film that is more like Conan The Barbarian and Dark Souls, with some cinematography similar to what you would see in Samurai Jack at times. 13th Warrior was also a big inspiration. The plot isn't complicated, but it is more about the shots and the atmosphere of the film. We shot this over the course of two years for about 5000.

The film is called Spriggan. Looking to release it in about a week or so to Amazon, etc. Take it to some festivals as well.

What are some projects you are working on, or roadblocks that you are running into making your film?

Here are a few stills.

Yeah, a lot of normies went in expecting GOT or LoTR, and criticized (rightfully at times) the production value. We're featured along with the rest of B-movies on Amazon though so maybe they're blind? People will give a 5 star or a 1 star, that's it lol. Either way, lots of people are watching it and the ratio of negative reviews to those watching it completely through is pretty insane. if all they wanted was production value I could easily have done that with another 4k. good to know for fellow anons and myself in the future. funnily, amazon told me they could care less about reviews; as long as people are watching it on a regular basis, "then you did something right".

A thread to share some films that were forgotten by time and deserve much more love (and distribution) in modern times.

Me and my friend just started a film revival company and we recently got the 35mm print of Madness Gli Occhi Della Luna of Cesare Rau to possibly re-distribute the film on dvd/blu-ray or just a straight up magnet, its the first one of many we plan to restore so I guess this is also a thread for possible restorations, if you're all interested in a specific film, and/or have any info we'll be glad to help. I'll be posting the films that we will possibly restore in the near future and updates from the current run.

I take it's only italian movies, right?

There's a cool one by Gillo Pontecorvo called La Grande Strada Azzurra, i don't like the guy nor his politics but i think that movie is worth a shot, also no DVDs since long time ago. I was going to suggest Ogro too but i read that already has a scan and commercial release, so...

I bet it costs a mean coin to pull this venture isn't it

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll see what I can do. Was Pontecorvo a fascist or a communist?

No no, its not just italian movies but I guess its coincidental since most forgotten movies are from the 60's/70's and Italy was printing mad film back then. I guess it helps that I recently moved to southern Italy so its also easier for us to eventually reach libraries or collectors for the negatives. My partner works in the U.S.

And yeah, the expenses can reach astronomical figures if we're not careful (or lucky!)

A jewish rumored-homosexual champagne communist, but from what i gathered he had a very decent work ethic regarding his movies' portrayals, as in he researched the topic in person or among historians and tried to do sober, neutral points of views.

He only made 5 full-length films, all pretty decent, the rest are documentaries which i haven't checked well.

So not only Italian stock then, if i ever stumble around a print now i know who i will send it to, although there's nothing good printed around my area. Best of luck, buddy.

Lets discuss/make some fan edits

Share ideas, films, whatever you feel should be edited, last thread we turned American Graffiti into a schizo short and concocted a redux version of THX https://8ch.net/tv/res/2060812.html

I've been posting on /tv/ like a dummy but I see clearly now that film is better discussed here, at least when it comes to serious, non-meme edits.

Your american graffiti edit was very good.

What about an edit in Vargtimmen (1968) in which you start with the idea of a transvestite who has to face the hardships of not feeling comfortable with the sex he was born. Towards the end of the movie the protagonist has a make up which very well resembles a transvestite. The music of the movie very well could accompany this feeling of discomfort of the man.

Maybe it's a hard task what i'm asking for.

I have to confess, this was the first time I had seen a Bergman feature, and only because of your request. I also have to say it has some of my favorite moments, the transitions with Alma and the background, the story was complex and groomy but the camerawork is spectacular, I can see how its one of the darkest films made, at least in that era. Having said that I do find it hard to edit. It could work but I feel like the disintegration from guilt and madness that Borg goes through is good on its own and I would just make a mess, I'm sorry! Thank you for making me watch a good movie for a change

Is anyone into VHS collecting? I've noticed it gaining popularity lately. Just enough time has passed for a nostalgia appeal.

What are the best movies shot on VHS? Do you even have the patience to watch a full production shot on VHS?

I will recommend the shot-for-shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Very recently got bit by the vhs bug aswell, I got lucky enough to find a warehouse with over 100 tapes, I'll try to go down there soon enough to clean and categorize the tapes, if I find something good I'll post it here and try to rip them to digital at least for posterity's sake

i'll leave my discord: italodisco#1330 if anyone wants to talk more about rare tapes and how to redistribute them, I've been going at it with an american friend for some time now.

I think Soviet/Russian cinema is sometimes overlooked compared to countries like France and Italy. How about a dedicated thread here at /film/?

Russia has more to offer than the dozen titles that everyone knows about. Talk about your faves here, but also the films below the radar in the West. New releases and former Soviet states are welcome too.

I'd like a refresher on Chernobyl and I'm not sure I want to watch the HBO series. I thought about Geyrhalter's Pripyat or Babushkas of Chernobyl but I'm open to other suggestions.

Raspad recounts some of the story with a few great scenes (like this one).

However as the film goes on, the fictionalized drama about societal collapse is less connected to the disaster itself.

Not russian or ukranian but i found the hour-long BBC dramatization in one of their tax write off series Surviving Disaster to be very compelling if somewhat trying to push a few fictional/simplified facts. The acting is particularly decent, especially for the comedic-prone history of the cast, and the visuals with their respective camera portrayal fits with the use of the classic slavic sepia tone and locations set around the big gray 60's-era dilapidated social housing projects in Britain.

A good example too that sometimes the ending scene should be at the end. And also an example that HBO "Original" Productions usually grab someone else's script and call it their own if they were mere interns or didn't register their work.

Not that anon but the more Melies movies I watched the less I cared for him. I felt like he became a one trick pony that defaulted back to cheap and repetitive magic tricks, and that's what Melies was; a magician.

One of his movies that sticks with me is "Ulysses and the Giant Polyphemus" but that's merely because it was one of the earlier movies that adapted part of Homer's Odyssey to film.

Alice au pays des merveilles (1949)

https://youtu.be/4jPbelf_-XM?t=16m53s

No English subtitles but you can enjoy the fantasy and animated scenes without them. You already know the story!

--------------------------------------------

Information About the Film

---------------------------------------------

In 1946, Lou Bunin was approached by M. Aisner, a French screenwriter, to work on an Alice with a live action girl in a stop-motion animated Wonderland, in both French and English. Bunin agreed and hired Art Babbit, Bernyce Polifka, and Gene Flury to work on the film. All the shooting was done in France while the actors came from England. In 1949, the film premiered in France.

However, in the States, Walt Disney was working on his own animated Alice and had worked on and off the idea since 1933. Coincidentally, Bunin's film sounds similar to one of the original concepts Disney had of a live action Alice in a traditionally animated Wonderland (I do not know if Bunin was aware of this). Disney filed a lawsuit as he thought audiences would be confused and would see the 'wrong' Alice and his company had spent more money and time on their production. However, as Alice in Wonderland was a public domain story, the court threw it out, even stating that competition should be encouraged. Disney used his influence at Technicolor to deny the best color process to the Bunin production, forcing them to use Ansco. This is why most copies of the film have discolorations and quality deterioration. Then he used his influence to discourage movie theaters from showing Bunin's film so it had a limited release. Both movies premiered the same week.

This is why some ads of the Disney film at the time say "There is only ONE Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland" and why 1949 is mostly unknown in the U.S.

As for the condition of the film itself: all English versions of the film on DVD are awfully edited and are transferred from the VHS tape rather thPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Suburbia (1983)

d. Penelope Spheeris

The movies I've seen about punk rock actually don't take on or sympathize with punk's victimization complex, this movie doesn't condemn it nor talk about it at all. The punks and the citizens have their own justifications for their actions: the punks are abused or dejected/disaffected kids who just wanna fuck around and have fun relying on petty crime for survival. The citizens specifically two suburban rednecks who lost their jobs won't tolerate such faggotry and hooliganism taking it upon themselves to deal with it and hand out justice. It's also relatively politically incorrect where a character partly rejects his step-dad for being black and two homo parents are seen as something to be frowned upon, punk in America didn't become fagged out like Britain did early on until 1985 with Revolution Summer and the birth of first-wave emo or proto-emo. The director went on to make a documentary about kids like this a decade later so this is a predecessor to her interest, and the actors in the movie are mostly unknown or small-time and the punks are also played by real punks mostly homeless including Flea from RHCP one kid refers him as such until he reminds him of his character's name so the acting has some holes but they say their lines with confidence.
