I'd recommend Topos (1985), Narcissus and Psyche, Twice a Man, Quick Billy, Mavka: A Story of the Forest, Diabel, Doomed Love, Moses une Aron, Veredas...
I'm sure you've heard of most of these films but I think we share a similar aesthetic preferenc so I'd recommend them if you haven't seen em.

Thank you for these recs. I'm familiar with some of them (Diabel, Quick Billy, Veredas), but I've never gotten around to watching them, so this has made them a higher priority.
Since you recommended Veredas, how would you say it compares to Silvestre? I've had that on my watchlist for while now and I was wondering if you'd recommend both.
>>10556
Thank you, I'm liking the Slavic flavour of these recs.
>>10557
Everyone has to start somewhere.
You've already started with Lynch, so I'd say if you like his more abstract work (Eraserhead and Inland Empire), definitely take a look at the older surrealist filmmakers (Luis Buñuel, Maya Deren, Jean Cocteau and Stan Brakhage).
Since you like Apocalypse Now, I'd recommend Herzog's feature films (Aguirre, Fitzcarraldo, Cobra Verde).
Based upon you enjoying Stalingrad and Paths of Glory too, I'd recommend some Soviet war films like Come and See, The Red and the White and The Ascent as well.
You should delve further into Tarkovsky's work since you like Stalker. If you enjoy the rest of his films, then you should definitely give directors like Béla Tarr, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Sergei Parajanov and Alexander Sokurov a shot.
Those recs should keep you going for a while and hopefully help you hone your aesthetic preferences.

I'd say Veredas and Silvestre are very similar along with A Flor do Mar, to some extent, specially compared to his later films (João de Deus trilogy, Snow White, the last Dive and Vai e Vem), which are a bit more layered and full of dense lit and philosophy references, not to say that Silvestre/veredas don't come with a heavy intellectual/thematic weight.
They are also very similar in visual style since they are inspired by Portuguese folklore.
And yes, I completely recommend both.

You're welcome, I hope you enjoy them.
I haven't watched all of his films yet, but I feel like A Flor do Mar is a good transition between his styles, it's also my favorite film from him, along with Silvestre.
If you like A Flor do Mar, O Ultimo Mergulho and Recordacoes da Casa Amarela might be up your alley, but really, he has like ten features, so going chronologically and watching all of them can't hurt (I know I should've probably done this).

>Stroszek
Went very fast for being a 2-hour movie which isn't a bad thing, and how quickly everything got fucked is accurate for people who are losers, Herzog's movies are mundane and feel lackluster so far.
>Eraserhead
I can't say anything about it except it was about fatherhood and how it changes a man, there are aspects to examine and self-interpret and Lynch said it was his spiritual film.
>The Wizard of Oz
I very much liked the Kansas scenes and related to them for being raised in a post-Soviet shithole but the movie was too fast, obvious the book was darker, too giddy and they cut out the reprise when she was trapped in the witch's tower, it's a classic case of the book being better, if they made it a 2-hour epic I would've liked it because the whole thing seemed grandiose and I wanted to like it.
>I'm also shocked this is your first viewing of The Wizard of Oz
I had it on VHS when I was younger but I was too young to remember all of it and the tape fucked up when they escape the Witch's castle so I never bothered with it and now I'm too old to have it affect me.

Shame you didn't like Herzog. Was it the slow-pacing that you didn't like or was it something else?
Aguirre was a big influence on Apocalypse Now, so I presumed that you would enjoy both.
Interesting that the scenes you liked the most in The Wizard of Oz were the Kansas scenes, not the technicolour sequences in Oz.
Have you ever delved into Italian neo-realism? It's not really a film movement that I particularly connect with, but it might be worth a shot.
Since you enjoy road movies, definitely watch Paris Texas, Alice in the Cities and Badlands.

I like the romance and innocent youth of it I'd like to see those types of movies preferably juvenile views of them rather than sophisticated ones.
>Have you ever delved into Italian neo-realism?
Looks interesting I'll watch a few because I never watched an Italian film before besides A Fisful of Dollars and the bizzare fascist art movement from the 20s must've had a big influence on Italy's culture, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurist_cooking.
>Since you enjoy road movies, definitely watch Paris Texas, Alice in the Cities and Badlands.
Will do.
I'd like to get into French New Wave but don't know where to start besides Pierrot le Fou (ever notice the French are good at starting something but quickly get usurped by other countries while they stifle in what they made), and I can't find a good torrent of Andrei Rublev it's a movie I've been wanting to see for a while.

Parajanov's work is not easy to immediately step into, but I find them infinitely rewarding. Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors might be a better start if you want to delve into his films for the first time, because it has a narrative drive.
>the bizzare fascist art movement from the 20s must've had a big influence on Italy's culture
Most of the Italian futurist films have been lost unfortunately. If you're at all interested, the only surviving film can be seen here (albeit in poor quality): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G01_2zhulg
>I'd like to get into French New Wave
I'm not a fan of French New Wave, so I wouldn't know what to suggest. The only filmmaker from that movement whose work I've ever connected with is Jacques Rivette.
>I can't find a good torrent of Andrei Rublev it's a movie I've been wanting to see for a while
It's a masterpiece and I highly recommend it. One of a handful of Tarkovsky films that could easily compete for his best film.

I agree with the other guy that Rivette is the most interesting director of that group. You can't go wrong with anything he directed.
Godard is the main FNW director but everything I've seen from him has been underwhelming. Maybe I've missed his "good stuff" whatever that is. I haven't seen Pierrot le Fou or Week End.
I do like Agnes Varda, Alain Resnais, Chris Marker, and Jean-Pierre Melville but they're more on the outer margins of the New Wave.

Not that anon (obviously) but Fuego en Castilla is part of the "Tríptico elemental de España" the other films are Acariño Galaico and Aguespejo Granadino, and I'd say they should be watched together and if you liked Fuego en Castilla you'll most likely enjoy the rest of the triptych.
But really, he's so underrated, despite all of his inventions and ideas for the medium that I think watching everything you can by him is worth your time.
To me, the most interesting thing about Fuego En Castilla is the tactil-vision, which is kind of a way to portray the image in 3-D (via a series of mirrors, camera movement, etc) giving more depth and texture, though I don't think it translates that well into an online copy or a DCP.
There are several websites talking about his inventions and contributions to the medium.

The visuals of Fuego en Castilla are astonishing, and combined with the eerie ambient creaks and scratches he utilises made my first viewing of it one of the most immersive experiences I've had watching a film. Even when I rewatch it, it still has a similar effect on me every time.

Perhaps you'd like Manoel de Oliveira's films. I've only seen Francisca, which is a beautiful film, but I'm sure the rest of the Tetralogy of Frustrated Love is just as compelling.
>retrowave aesthetic
I too love this aesthetic. I presume from your inclusion of Heat that you have seen the rest of Michael Mann's work. If you haven't, definitely check out Thief, Manhunter and Miami Vice (the film).
William Friedkin also made two films which could fall under this category: To Live and Die In L.A. and Sorcerer (the visuals aren't retrowave, but it has a fantastic score by Tangerine Dream)

Friedkin says that Sorcerer wasn't a remake but both films come from the same book. Close enough.

Another Spanish film you should definitely watch is Calle Mayor directed by Juan Antonio Bardem. It's a even a bit better than Bardem's Criterion (Death of a Cyclist) although you can't go wrong with either of them. Both films feature characters who become entangled in a paralyzing moral dilemma -- one is about love and the other is about death.

The film is certainly not one of Herzog's best. He's made some solid documentaries recently, but his older work is far superior. You're obviously not much of a fan of his style. You might be interested in the original Bad Lieutenant.

I was contemplating whether to use this title or Storytelling. Solondz is one of the few filmmakers who still makes me laugh.

Thanks for Silvestre. The first half was especially good. I loved the painterly aesthetic with expressive lighting and artificial backdrops. I didn't realize the actress was in Pulp Fiction until reading her name in the credits.

An easy recommendation for that is Cria Cuervos. I think you'll like it.

I'm very new to arthouse films and film in general so I'm not sure if I'd consider these to be my favourites but I'd like more films similar to these if possible:
>Harakiri
>Gummo
>The Holy Mountain
>El Topo
>Valerie and her Week of Wonders
>Daisies
>Pierrot le Fou
>Spirit of the Beehive
Again, I'm very new to this so anything but the most well known stuff will probably do. I'd like something set in medieval times if anything knows a good film like that, I've already seen The Devils but it was not for me.

I'll give you some based on your Jodorowsky and Czech New Wave choices. First Ángeles y querubines (Angels and Cherubs). This film was directed by Jodo's cameraman Rafael Corkidi in the period between El topo and The Holy Mountain.
Now this film is somewhat rare but someone kindly posted a link in the request thread: https://mega.nz/#!jwgB0RYC!tjNSOe9uH7u7CjzklG8q6Xuz9afGv-N20cPHS6ddxhE
I don't believe anyone posted subtitles though so I have attached them to this post. Change the extension from .pdf to .srt.

And to follow Daisies and Valerie I will recommend a couple more Czech films: Mala morska vila (The Little Mermaid) and Morgiana. Both of these are
If you are feeling adventurous you could also try The Deserters and the Nomads by Slovak director Juraj Jakubisko. This one has "surrealistic sensory overload" as imdb says. You may not enjoy it if you are just starting out, it's sometimes hard to follow, but I'd say it's one of the most interesting CZSK films of the late 1960's.

You're on the right path if that's any encouragement. Check out Marketa Lazarova. It's often mentioned on /film/ and for good reason. Make sure that you're in the right mood.

Thank you for the recommendations, The Deserters and the Nomads seems the most interesting so I'll probably watch that one first. Marketa Lazarova also seems interesting since I enjoy stories about conflicts between pagans and christians, there are not enough of those. Also, the girl is cute.

Since you like Cranes Are Flying I will suggest Sergei Urusevsky's first film as a director, Beg inokhodtsa (or Proshschay Gyulsary). The story of a Mongolian man and his faithful horse is told with the same kind of dazzling and dizzying camerawork found in Soy Cuba and The Letter Never Sent.

I like a lot of the same films, but I'm having trouble thinking of a related recommendation that you wouldn't know about. But I'll try anyway. Walkabout reminded me of The Territory (1981) by Raoul Ruiz which involves another hazardous journey through a hostile environment. Since it's Ruiz, the story takes more of a bizarre direction.
>>15047
Blooming and life-affirming... okay, try
Das Blumenwunder (1926)
Happy End (1967)
Tange Sazen yowa: Hyakuman ryô no tsubo (1935)
It's funny to see Score on that list. I thought it was basically a softcore sex movie, but maybe there's more to it. I never watched it because it looked a little bit gay,

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.

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.
