[–]▶ No.2320[Watch Thread][Show All Posts]
The floor is open for your suggestions of titles – and perhaps a theme – for this month's Film Club.
The last suggestion thread worked out pretty well. We picked a loose theme, generated a long list of submissions, then watched the two highest-voted titles. The only problem is it took a couple weeks to come to a decision.
I think we can speed things up by voting just once. A theme can be part of this discussion – ideally to help to narrow the focus. But in the interest of time, it's not mandatory that every suggestion fit a single theme.
In the end we'll watch and discuss whichever 2-3 titles win the vote. Sound good?
Nov. 9: VOTING IS OPEN! SEE THREAD FOR DETAILS.

▶ No.2367>>2379
i guess the seasonal thing is an option again. not sure i'm quite ready for winter, but perhaps there's some worthwhile "autumn" films.
▶ No.2376
How about Diabolique? I wouldn't mind watching it again, but the thing is if you people want to watch it you can't look up a summary or anything about it; you'll just have to take my word it's worth your time. Maybe inconnu could watch it first to decide.
▶ No.2379
>>2367ok
Germany in Autumn is pretty good
elephant is set during the fall
and so is An Autumn Afternoon and an Autumn which i have not seen but like a winters tale alot and Autumn sonata

▶ No.2380>>2388 >>2389 >>2391
Harvest is a pretty universal concept. Something like
Days of Heaven or
Wicker Man, perhaps a bit less widely seen.
Some prospects from
http://www.imdb.com/search/keyword?keywords=harvest&sort=user_rating,desc&mode=advanced&page=1Vagabond (1985)
The Good Earth (1937)
L'albero degli zoccoli AKA The Tree of Wooden Clogs (1978)
Unser täglich Brot AKA Our Daily Bread (2005)
Din prea multa dragoste (1986) … could be hard to find
▶ No.2382
I like the idea of Harvest. I'd agree that that's a good theme to have, even though the wheat harvest season is over.
▶ No.2388
>>2380Harvest seems great, not ready for Christmas shit especially since we have Film Club at least twice a month(?) and it's still early November.
City Girl (1930)
Is that obscure enough? It's Murnau, but it's lesser known.
▶ No.2389>>2391
>>2380>Vagabond (1985)I threw up in my mouth a little. What a distasteful subject for a film.
Also, try reading the synopsis before you recommend a film, it only has one scene that relates to the harvest.
▶ No.2390>>2391
I would like to watch Kirsitubakas.
It's playing in cinemas right now and, for people who don't have an arthouse cinema in their town, there's a WORKPRiNT release they can download.
Trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1yDRK808OMThe rural setting makes it vaguely related to the theme of harvest.
▶ No.2391
>>2390i feel the harvest theme going i think i might wait
>>2389Vagabond is a wonderful film
>>2380also im going for the harvest theme
Wallace and Gromit have a nice feel but we want to talk about something we have not seen i suppose
so I can recommend Babette's Feast its one of my favorites and soy cuba
thats all i can think of
i might try on the list
The Harvest Project, Aaltra, Zvenigora, All in This Tea, and The Tree of Wooden Clogs
I have not seen tess but heard lots about it anyone hear seen it or plan on re watching.
▶ No.2396
Great suggestions so far, guys. Keep 'em coming and I'll put up a poll in a day or two.
As to the question of being sufficiently obscure, Film Club candidates should probably have less than 5000 votes on IMDb.
Not that we're trying to be special cinephile snowflakes, but the goal is to watch something "new" together.
▶ No.2404
there's gotta be more azn films that fit…
▶ No.2406
The final candidates are:
Zvenigora AKA The Enchanted Place (1928, Aleksandr Dovzhenko)
City Girl (1930, F.W. Murnau)
The Good Earth (1937, Sidney Franklin & Victor Fleming)
Hadaka no shima AKA The Naked Island (1960, Kaneto Shindô)
Sanma no aji AKA An Autumn Afternoon (1962, Yasujirô Ozu)
Deutschland im Herbst AKA Germany in Autumn (1978, Various Directors)
L'albero degli zoccoli AKA The Tree of Wooden Clogs (1978, Ermanno Olmi)
Vagabond (1985, Agnes Varda)
Aaltra (2004, Benoît Delépine & Gustave Kervern)
Unser täglich Brot AKA Our Daily Bread (2005, Nikolaus Geyrhalter)
Kirsitubakas AKA Cherry Tobacco (2014, Andres Maimik & Katrin Maimik)
▶ No.2407>>2408
Please review each film before making your decision.
You may choose up to TWO different films. The list has been randomized.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ZYT3P6LI'm trying a new polling site, so let me know if you encounter any issues.
▶ No.2408
>>2407I voted so now i guess we wait
▶ No.2409
I vote for Crippled Masters because it's beautifully horrible
▶ No.2413>>2415
L'albero degli zoccoli, fuck yes!
Will somebody make a stream this time? The discussion in the chat in the previous film club was much more entertaining
▶ No.2415
▶ No.2416
We'll start with the winner in about 12-16 hours. The polls will stay open during the week to sort out third place.
As usual I like to get you guys involved, so let me know if you've seen one of the featured films and would like to introduce it to the board.
▶ No.2433>>2446
