Impressive detective work!

The 2 missing along the bottom are Mauricio Kagel's Ludwig van and Umberto D.

>>14703

Both are in the correct place

Rohmer, Rivette, Pasolini, Němec.

>>15097

Oh, and Antonioni, Buñuel and maybe Fassbinder; haven't watched much of him yet, but Petra von Kant is among my favourites.

>>13984

<No man before or since has ever understood the strengths of film to his level, and the way that popular film ought to be made

I must be missing something. Who? I suppose you mean the person in the picture, but there is nothing there to identify him.

Why do people feel the need to PAY to have threads on the top page? Do you WANT the tards of 8chan to come here?

Here's some masterful cinematography for you.

PAYDAY is a cool 70s movie about a country music singer touring the rural south

I liked The Last Picture Show very much.

True Stories, directed by and starring David Byrne from Talking Heads.

>>14671

Last Picture Show is really good.

>>9746

And... it's gone.

>>11674

I don't know what that was, but this is probably some of the same video. Unfortunately the installation setting with multiple screens (or reflections) is a distraction from the editing/content

>>9544

Movie name for image?

>>15107

That's a film about silent era Fritz Lang. I think it was made in Yugoslavia. I can't recall the name right now, maybe someone else knows it.

>>14808

Ok, but whats your point?

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

>>14948

>OP wanted Nocturnal, colorful, 80s aesthetic

>Give him a movie thats not 80s and mostly set in daytime

The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989)

Set in Seattle, it's a movie that challenges the suburban daytime married with kids lifestyle with a nocturnal urban arts lifestyle of single adults. Ultimately it's a life of loneliness and frustration but it still has its charms. It's my favorite Michelle Peiffer movie

doomer is the worst meme i've seen in years

>>15087

Thanks for saying it, no clue why anyone would willingly wallow in despair instead of trying to improve themselves. Even if the rest of the world is pure trash never compromise and join them.

>>15088

>improve

No, that's the worst meme. Reddit memes seem based compared to that. There's literally nothing screaming more "I'm retard born slave, without any talents, chinese tryhard". Woke bullshit. Fuck off back to factory.

>>15087

yeah it is quite trash and lazy but same goes for any wojak/pepe version 5000

>>15088

OK, fuckers. tbh some brainlet takes were over here, but whatever. Doomer and bloomer are pure memes and just stand for positive and negative outlooks for life. Most of world religions and philosophies rather focus on the nature of overcoming and understanding the negative aspects of our world and being able to have happiness in this dark place. I think portrayals of both approaches in the media are fine, and to be honest if something gets people to watch more good movies/read more then whatever I don't give a shit if they are total dumb-asses about it. They at least got something.

>>15084

Of positive and negative apporaches as he understood the falsity of the dichotomy (I am the dude who made the list).

>>15096

>quite trash and lazy but same goes for any wojak/pepe version 5000

Goes for pretty much all memes I guess.

>dark place

World is unironically paradise.

>second paragraph

Why did you state the obvious? Nobody even asked.

>life-affirming

I don't know anon, I find all emotions and impressions life-affirming, given they are not conveyed prosaicly. The only films that kill life in me are those that I'm indifferent to or mediocre, boring, vulgar, ugly and so on.

i'm having difficulties understanding the original post. i've slightly reformatted it to be what i think the original poster most likely meant. i removed some redundancies, added commas and pronomials. i cannot be sure whether what i think the original post meant is what the original poster meant it to mean, so i'm including it here so that the original poster can verify or clarify. despite my syntaxic efforts, the meaning of the sentence that i enbracketed eludes me.

"Have any of you thought about some music being powerful enough to being an equivalent to film, reaching the status of a quasi/pseudo-film? Even if not as vividly articulated, music always paints pictures in the mind, which can be, in turn, related to the aesthetics of film. [Music that can be best met with a match, or with easily painted pictures, besides concept albums; and initial progressive rock is music with texture, and sonic landscapes like kosmischeklang, early post-rock, and some post-punk/no-wave, but I'd also like to hear the genres that paint a film in your head.] I'm not saying the two mediums are interchangeable, nor trying to break the boundaries of art, but it'd be nice to discuss and break up the monotony of the threads on the front pages.

The thread that this one replaced was a 9-reply thread on Inherent Vice."

>>10973

Mein negger.

Vid related has to be one of the most beautiful yet haunting pieces of music i've ever heard.

>>14406

Think it's fairly obvious what the OP meant to say

>>14411

>Think it's fairly obvious what the OP meant to say

Why should he think that? It's quite obvious that he doesn't know what OP meant to say if he made that post. Hell, even I don't understand the sentence he enclosed in brackets.

<inb4 thread is about the relation between film and music.

That's obvious, but if you think that it's not important to have your meaning exactly understood, nor to exactly understand others' meanings, then you are either antisocial (then, why are you here, why are you wasting your precious time writing to us, reading what we wrote? Hm?), or an idiot (the goal of communication is, well, communication, if people are not exactly understanding each other, they are not communicating well).

I really like that one. I'm surprised at the low imdb rating though (5.9/10!). I guess it rates poorly because of the way it unrealistically maligns cities like New York.

I submit Genoa - More Than This as of the best short city movies. Tell me if you agree.

The director says

<Genoa is one of the most underrated cities in Europe. City reveals its charm if you decide to explore it. Here's a short visual poem exposing my memories that left with me after my short stay there. Place that is free of crowds and chaos you may observe all around.

Montreal By Night (1947)

Look at Life - Down London River, 1959

A trip down the Thames tothe Port of London and "2000 acres of docks".

Interesting comment section about the ways London has changed -- some negative comments about immigration as you might expect, also people noticing how prominent buildings were filthy from pollution back then. The London docks no longer exist as they could not facilitate large vessels carrying shipping containers.

>>14912

>The Purge

I would label the series as "dystopian horror" which is kind of unusual. I can't think of anything else in that category. Typically dystopian movies are in the sci-fi genre with less violence.

Two regular horror movies similar to The Purge are Ils (2006) and The Strangers (2008). But, your mileage may vary because they don't have the "Extreme alternate culture timeline" aspect.

The Purge ripped off an old Star Trek episode called "The Return of the Archons"

I'm fond of Farewell My Concubine. Also think it's very relevant for today.

there's a weird trend lately where people who make interesting posts get attacked for bizarre reasons

The 20 year anniversary of Tiananmen Square is coming next week, so I looked for Chinese films or documentaries on the topic (even if made outside the country). I found this cool short with "Tiananmen Square" in the title. It recounts one man's perspective on the history of modern China using personal artwork, propaganda images, archival photos, patriotic songs, etc. Beautifully made. It's not exactly what I wanted but I'm glad to find it.

https://www.nfb.ca/film/sunrise_over_tiananmen_square/

<Shui-Bo Wang's feature documentary is a visual autobiography of an artist who grew up in China during the historic upheavals of the '60s, '70s and '80s. A rich collage of original artwork and family and archival photographs presents a personal perspective on the turbulent Cultural Revolution and the years that followed. For Shui-Bo Wang and others of his generation, Tiananmen Square was the central symbol of the new China -- a society to be based on equality and cooperation. This animated documentary artfully traces Shui-Bo's roots and his own life journey as he struggles to sort through ideology and arrive at truth.

>The 20 year anniversary

i meant 30

it was literally his worst film yet by a country mile. Why shill this on /film/ of all places?

>tfw you know it's all going to shit but everyone just laughs at you

and here's the "original" -- very different but it still fits this thread nicely

>>14806

The first one is a brick through the window.

>>14921

Don't know the first one? rundown plox?

>>14930

First one looks good.

anything new that has a black person, female as the lead role or a queer

I watched mondomanila and Desaparadiso and i liked very much his style. The latter really struck me hard, since here in Argentina we had a similar experiencie with a Militar dictatorship taking """political prisoners""" and basically torturing them and then killing them, but selling the image that they were "missing", which is very psychotic, even worse than plain killing and telling the famillies what happened.

>>13514

>here in Argentina we had a similar experiencie with a Militar dictatorship

I didn't know that, I only knew about Chile and Brazil. Now I see you guys had two military coups. I'm surprised the US wasn't more involved with those, but I suppose there's some limit to how much foreign meddling they can manage at one time.

>>13530

>I'm surprised the US wasn't more involved in those.

It was. It was so involved that if it weren't for the fact that the us didn't want to lose the ""battle against communism"", we wouldn't have had the coups.

Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, all had dictatorships during the same time.

>>13530

The FMI had a key role too.

An all-time classic.

Amelia and the angel (1958).

If any of you have kids, show them this short. If you don't; enjoy the tenderness of it, and the amazing performance of the girl.

This is so beautiful.

Letting aside some mainstream shit, this is the best thread of the board.
