Chantal Akerman has passed away. I've only seen News from Home and Hotel Monterey but I appreciated her unique style, even if it required patience.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/07/arts/chantal-akerman-belgian-filmmaker-dies-65.html

http://blogs.indiewire.com/criticwire/chantal-akerman-pioneer-of-feminist-and-structuralist-film-is-dead-at-65-20151006

What's interesting about her personality is how she rejected the title of feminist film maker even though everyone wanted to put her in that box. Most obits you'll read today are quick to include that label in their descriptions of her. I remember hearing that she did not like doing "women's film festivals" and preferred regular festivals instead.

> I won't say I'm a feminist film-maker ... I'm not making women's films, I'm making Chantal Akerman's films. (London, 1979)

Setsuko Hara of many Ozu films. She retired from acting way back in 1962 and gave zero interviews or public appearances afterwards!

http://variety.com/2015/film/news/setsuko-hara-dead-yasujiro-ozu-muse-1201648540/

https://www.fandor.com/keyframe/daily-setsuko-hara-1920-2015

> In the postwar period, with directors such as Akira Kurosawa and Keisuke Kinoshita, Hara portrayed modern women unbound by shackles of feudal mores, with critics making comparisons to Katharine Hepburn and Joan Crawford. In her films with Ozu, such as “Late Spring” (1949), “Early Summer” (1951) and “Tokyo Story” (1953), she also embodied more traditional virtues, including a willingness to sacrifice for the well-being of others. At the same time, she gave the impression of acting from choice, not convention, as in her smiling devotion to the aged parents of her dead husband in “Tokyo Story.”

Bond director Guy Hamilton dies at 93

> He got his big break in 1948 when legendary British director Carol Reed hired him as first assistant director for "The Fallen Idol," a thriller told from the perspective of a 9-year-old boy. Hamilton also worked with Reed on the "The Third Man" starring Orson Welles and with John Huston on "The African Queen" featuring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburne.

> Hamilton went on to direct several movies in the 1950s. He turned down an opportunity to direct the James Bond movie "Dr. No" but accepted the job for "Goldfinger."

> In a 2003 interview with the Film Talk website, Hamilton said the "Goldfinger" script was good but too "Americanized" and that he had to work on making the villains more believable.

> "So I had to make sure all the English scenes became more English," Hamilton said. "I liked the idea of an intellectual villain. A Bond villain has to be (the) intellectual equal and a worthy opponent of Bond."

"The Jonathan Demme Close-Up"

The close-up may be one of the most beautiful and conventional shots in cinema. The shot is used abundantly and is usually one of the first concepts discussed in a filmmaking course. While many close-ups share the same conventions, Jonathan Demme put a signature twist on this old and practical technique. Most filmmakers choose to employ the close-up shot during scenes of crucial dialogue--the scene cuts back and forth to the characters' respective close ups, each character looking to the opposite side of the screen in order to mind the 180 line. This is a standard, yet effective, procedure and is seen in almost any film. On the other hand, Demme prefers to line up his characters in the center of the frame and have them look directly into the lens of the camera. As the scene cuts back and forth, the characters usually match placement and seem to be looking right at us, conveying a unique sense of urgency or poignancy.

Demme's approach to the close-up is effective on many emotional levels, and this is largely due to the eye/lens relationship. When Dr. Hannibal Lecter hisses at Agent Clarice Starling, we feel equally victimized. As Andrew Beckett succumbs to AIDS, we feel an overwhelming sensation of sympathy. These characters seem to be looking at us, and we therefore connect on a deeper level. Examining a Demme close-up out of context may seem like breaking the fourth wall, but within the film, Demme utilizes the shots so naturally and fluidly that we never leave the cinematic realm. Demme's technique has also been copied by some of today's most respected auteurs, most notably Paul Thomas Anderson, who has paid homage in 'Hard Eight,' 'Boogie Nights,' 'Magnolia,' 'There Will be Blood', and 'The Master'. While Demme has gravitated away from his signature approach to close-ups in recent years, the technique was a defining characteristic of a Jonathan Demme picture from 1986–2004. Here is a look at Demme's signature shot in seven of his feature films.

https://www.filmcomment.com/blog/jerry-lewis-wealth/

>Four years ago I happened to attend the public celebration of his 86th birthday at the 92nd Street Y, which was hosted and moderated by Richard Belzer and featured taped messages from a cavalcade of celebrities including Werner Herzog and Donald Trump. (Trump got booed.) As was the case with the previous time I saw Lewis live in 2009, with Peter Bogdanovich as the host/moderator, it was incredibly strange. Aside from the fact that Lewis never directly answered the questions asked of him—opting to tell completely unrelated anecdotes about how great his parents or Dean Martin were, or other rambling stories from the very old days of showbiz (Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel)—he was openly hostile to Bogdanovich and indifferent toward Belzer (who insisted upon calling him “dad”). There were moments of Jerry shtick—that magical rise in volume and tone, a pulled face, a water jug gag—but otherwise he seemed to be exactly what he was: an old, slightly jet-lagged man wearing velour loafers. Despite the New York cold, on both occasions he looked as if he had come straight from his yacht to the event.

So this must be tied to the idea that "the French love Jerry Lewis"

http://sensesofcinema.com/category/jerry-lewis/

>Writing in 1969, Cahiers du cinéma editors Jean-Louis Comolli and Jean Narboni devise a seven-part critical typology of the cinema, based on the political or ideological value of the films in question. The third grouping they proffer consists of films “in which the signified is not explicitly political, but, in some way, ‘becomes’ so; that is, finds itself re-produced as such by the ‘formal’ critical work on it.”1 The two critics give examples of films belonging to this category (c): Méditerranée, Persona and The Bellboy. The line-up has given generations of film studies scholars reason to chuckle: Philippe Sollers, Ingmar Bergman… and Jerry Lewis? What a delightful prank.

Tobe Hooper

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/tobe-hooper-texas-chain-saw-massacre-director-dead-at-74-w499714

>While teaching college and making documentaries and TV commercials in his native Austin, Texas, Hooper gathered a cast of his students and fellow teachers to create a low-budget, Ed Gein-inspired horror film about a group of teenagers tormented by a family of cannibals and the chainsaw-wielding "Leatherface."

>Hooper told Interview in 2014 of the horror film, "I was in a department store around the holidays, thinking, 'I just can't wait to get out of this department store.' This must have been in 1972 or 1973. There were thousands of people in there, and I was weaving through them to get out, and I found myself in the hardware department. I looked down and there was a rack of chain saws in front of me for sale. I said, 'If I start the saw, those people would just part. They would get out of my way.' That birthed the idea of the chain saw. Obviously I didn't do that at the time."

>Karoly Makk, one of Hungary's greatest film directors whose "Cats' Play" was nominated for an Oscar in 1975, has died. He was 91.

>The Szechenyi Academy of Letters and Arts said Makk, who had been its president since 2011, died Wednesday. It didn't give a cause of death.

>Makk's film "Love," one of the best films about the aftermath of the failed 1956 anti-Soviet uprising and life under tyranny, won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1971. Between 1955 and 1987, six of his films, including "Liliomfi," ''Another Way" and "The Last Manuscript," were nominated for the top Palme d'Or award at Cannes.

>Makk was successful in many genres, including comedies and dramas. In a 2015 interview with Hungarian magazine Magyar Narancs, he rejected criticism about lacking a personal style.

>"I made all of my films, even the worst one, with me in the story with a gesture, a sentence or a look," Makk said. "It is terribly suspicious in this profession if someone can make a comedy just as well as another genre."

First Bruce Brown, now Warren Miller. Miller was the best known director of ski films, in case you didn't know.

What I didn't know was that he was so old: 93!

https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/snow-sports/pioneering-inspiring-snow-sports-filmmaker-warren-a-miller-has-died-at-his-home-on-orcas-island-at-the-age-of-93/

<“I really believe in my heart that that first turn you make on a pair of skis is your first taste of total freedom, the first time in your life that you could go anywhere that your adrenaline would let you go,” Mr. Miller said at age 86. “And I show that in my films. I didn’t preach it. But once you experience that freedom — I’d personally narrate that show over 100 times a year — and I came to the conclusion that man’s search for freedom is embedded in our genes. That’s what everybody wants.”

>Paul Clipson, the San Francisco-based experimental filmmaker once described as a “poet of cinema,” died unexpectedly Saturday at the age of 53.

>Clipson made dozens of short films and collaborated frequently with experimental musicians like Grouper, Maggi Payne and Black Spirituals. His psychedelic, non-narrative work brought him international acclaim, with his films appearing at several festivals, including the New York Film Festival, Edinburgh Film Festival, and the Rotterdam International Film Festival.

>“Paul Clipson — a criminally unsung luminary of the moving image — has died. His images, layers upon layers of light and energy and feeling has been an inspiration,” filmmaker Scott Barely wrote on Twitter.

Erwin C. Dietrich died earlier this month. I know him for his sexploitation movies, which were well-made compared to the rest of the genre. The films had beautiful girls and vibrant colors.

<Erwin C. Dietrich was involved in every aspect of film production, distribution, and exhibition. At various stages in his career he was considered Europe's biggest film producer, often with an annual output of more than 10 films. From early in his career Dietrich, a trained actor, recognized the potential of the "sexual revolution" of the 1970s and started producing and directing erotic movies, which were enjoying huge success at the box office. Dietrich employed some of Europe's finest exploitation directors, such as Jesús Franco or Antonio Margheriti, who were provided excellent working conditions, reasonable budgets and name actors. In the 1980s he shifted focus to action movies such as Code Name: Wild Geese (1984) with Klaus Kinski and to comedies such as Ein Schweizer namens Nötzli (1988). Dietrich also owns an independent film distribution company and movie theaters in Zurich, Switzerland.

Juraj Herz

The renowned horror director died on Sunday at the age of 83, the Czech News Agency reported. The Slovak-born director, who moved to Prague in the late 1950s, was perhaps best-known for 1968’s The Cremator, a macabre, internationally acclaimed cult film based on a novel by Ladislav Fuchs.

Herz’s Oil Lamps was entered in the Cannes film festival in 1972 and other important titles in his filmography include Morgiana and Ferat Vampire. His last movie was Habermann in 2010.

<Milos Forman, the anti-authoritarian director who left his native Czechoslovakia for creative freedom in the U.S. and captured Oscars for the masterpieces One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Amadeus, has died. He was 86.

<Forman, also known for two biopics about controversial Americans — The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996) and Man on the Moon (1999) — died Friday in the U.S. after a short illness, according to his wife, Martina, who broke the news to the Czech news agency CTK.

<His manager, Dennis Aspland, confirmed Forman's death to The Hollywood Reporter and noted that the filmmaker had a home in Warren, Connecticut.

<Forman first attracted international attention with such features as Black Peter (1964), The Loves of a Blonde (1965) — an Oscar nominee for best foreign-language film — and The Firemen’s Ball (1967), which put him in hot water with the communist regime in Czechoslovakia.

"The most important living Brazilian filmmaker" is no longer living. Nelson Pereira dos Santos has died. I see no English news of it.

http://sensesofcinema.com/2011/great-directors/nelson-pereira-dos-santos/

Santos is the most important living Brazilian filmmaker. In his quintessential career, his films have influenced directors and cinephiles for over 50 years. Of the most influential Brazilian films of the past five decades, at least one was directed by Santos in each decade. These influential films include Rio, 40 Graus (Rio, 100 Degrees F., 1955), Vidas Secas (Barren Lives, 1963), Como Era Gostoso o MeuFrancês (How Tasty Was My Little Frenchman, 1971), Memórias do Cárcere (1984), and Casa-Grande e Senzala (2000). Santos’ impact on Latin American cinema cannot be overstated. For critics and cinephiles all over the world, Santos’ early films are milestones in the emergence of modern post-war cinema. Inspired by neorealism, his films from the 1950s and 1960s depict the brutal reality of life in the favelados (slums)found in cities such as Rio de Janeiro, or of retirantes (migrants) fleeing the famine in the drought-stricken northeastern region of Brazil.

Her fame transcended the Soviet era, and her works influenced a new generation of Russian and Ukrainian filmmakers.

Kira Muratova, one of the Russian-speaking world's most influential filmmakers, has died. She was 83.

Muratova died in Odessa, Ukraine, where she had lived and worked for many years, her husband, Yevgeny Golubenko, told the Ukrainian news portal Buro. Friends on social media said she had been ill for some time.

A director and screenwriter, Muratova earned plaudits at home and abroad for her fearless work, which included critically acclaimed features such as The Asthenic Syndrome, a dark satire of Soviet society revolving around a student with acute melancholia. It received a special jury prize at the 1990 Berlin Film Festival.

Writing on his Facebook page, producer Yura Minzianoff recalled screenings at Moscow's famous VGIK film school of one of her early films, Dolgie Provody (Long Farewells). It was made in 1971 but not honored at Russia's domestic Oscars, the NIKA Awards, until 1988.

"With Kira's passing," he wrote, "an entire epoch ends. I remember how her students cried over Long Farewells."

Nah man, He's a hack.

The Dreamers is Refn tier and most of his output is sell out shit he made to get away from italy.

Obviously his movies are top tier stunners as far as look goes but beside that they seriously lack substance and appeal to the lowest common denominator that is freudian interpretations.

Before the revolution is the only good one and a masterpiece at that.

Just when i was recalling him yesterday and thinking no famous HK directors have gone away in many, many years.

Ling-Tung Lam "Ringo Lam"

An ignored actor who morphed into director after realizing he liked to write and take photos more, he became a employee director and stuck gold after doing a quirky sequel for a famous comedy series, for his money-move he was granted an opportunity to do a personal project.

He pulled one of his reserved stories and made his most famous project, 1987's Dragon vs. Tiger aka City on Fire, infamously known these days as the movie that heavily-inspired the famous director Quentin Tarantino. But the film is no obscure piece of work as it is one of the first movies, along with A Better Tomorrow, that defined the Hong Kong Blood Opera action genre that permeated the late 80's through the early 00's and added another layer of ridiculousness to the modern action entertainment.

Also known for doing the last Van Damme classics after the man was blacklisted from Hollywood for his personal antics. His other notable works are all bloodbaths: 1987's Prison on Fire, 1992's Full Contact, 1997's Full Alert and the 1992's Jackie Chan twin movie.

Not a paragon of truly meaningful filmmaking but certainly an iconic mind in popular culture: Dual-wielding chinamen flying over smoke and mirrors in neon light nights. And Jackie Chan, with Van Damme, playing piano.

Jonas Mekas

December 24, 1922 – January 23, 2019

http://www.artnews.com/2019/01/23/jonas-mekas-key-experimental-filmmaker-dies-96/

Though he is frequently credited with helping create a form of cinema that radically broke with filmmaking norms, Mekas resisted the term “experimental.” “No one was experimenting,” he told the Guardian in 2012. “Not Maya [Deren], not Stan Brakhage, and certainly not me. We were making different kinds of films because we were driven to, but we did not think we were experimenting. Leave that to the scientists.”

It is a cool name and overall a really cold scene too, dread and despair all around in a bunch of those films hence why i think Makavejev stood apart from it.

Michel Legrand

A french high-class jazz pianist who wandered around with French New Wave directors like Gotard, Demy, Varda and composed some of their films, along with other hundred of films including the original 1968's Thomas Crown Affair, 1991's Dingo, 1973's F for Fake and recently 2018's The Other Side of the Wind.

Had a solid solo career in the piano jazz days too, even when he didn't really go to the realms of modal jazz or hard bebop.

>>14051

Funnily enough i had an idea around my mind about a dream sequence, and because i only watching Eraserhead and Mulholland Drive completely i kind of wanted to see his whole career due to him being the most notorious for that kind of thing.

I keep hearing very contrasting opinions about his work from both sides of film watchers, and i keep hesitating all the time even when i don't really dislike it.

Yes Legrand was one of the greatest French film composers. Generally I prefer his French stuff for some reason, perhaps I associate Legrand's music with my first forays into foreign films.

Man, i referenced his work due to appearing in a famous greek movie when i was around a Lanthimos discussion a week ago, and was about to see The House That Jack Built but didn't

Bruno Ganz

A Swiss-born German actor, conceived by a Swiss-German father and Northern (germanic?) Italian mother, who went on to be one of the most significant German actors in the last decades, being honored at one point to be the holder of the Iffland Ring, which i didn't know about until today.

Man liked the theater since his teenage years and subsequently debuted in it at 19 years old, a year later after his film debut, and focusing on it until he was constantly called in big movie productions around the mid-80's but still being called to the floor in latter years, notably for Faust around 2000 and 2001.

Was a guest actor in comedy movies and occasional lead in Made-for-TV adaptations in the 60's to mid-70's until he was given spotlight around 1974-76, where he appeared in a bunch of well-known projects and launched his career until these days.

Being a famous germanic man, Ganz was usually cast as a mouthpiece against NatSoc Germany and conservative values, doing so multiple times until he hit a big stone with Der Untergang, being picked to be none other than herr Adolf Hitler, and receiving a lot of criticism for trying to humanize the man himself, even if the script itself was a flanderization of it all.

Definitely a mainstay of the region and "New German Cinema", Bruno was diagnosed of gut cancer last august and saw the light the 15th of the present month. Notable for starring in Wenders 1977's The American Friend and 1987's Wings of Desire, Herzog 1979's Nosferatu, Rohmer 1976's The Marquise of O, Angelopoulos 1998's Eternity and a Day FUCK, F.J. Schaffner 1978's The Boys from Brazil, Silvio Soldini 2000's Pane e Tulipani, Uli Edel 2008's Der Baader Meinhof Komplex and of course, Hirschbiegel 2004's Der Untergang. Also Von Trier 2017's The House That Jack Built and the upcoming Terrence Malick's Radeground. End of an era.

I doubt my forecasting because i saw 3 Walter Hill movies in a row and nothing has happened

Didn't mean to spoiler that much, also Radegund i meant to say!

Michael Nyqvist's final role too. Sneaky Malick's movie will be tentatively an anti-NatSoc movie in its surface premise, but boosts a shot that is usually reposted by a couple of anons as a shining window to a Blood & Soil scenery.

Bruno Ganz will probably go out with a bang along with the Nyq, but where will the shot go?

I really enjoyed Charade as a kid, and the ending kind of scared me.

Two more recent director deaths were Václav Vorlícek and Claude Goretta. They are not as well known, but now is a good time to explore their work a bit more...

Carolee Schneemann - http://www.ubu.com/film/schneemann.html

She's kind of interesting even though I wasn't a devoted fan. A muh vagina feminist artist. She complained about having a hard time as a woman in her profession, but how much success is even possible when making experimental films and art? No one in the general public watches that stuff. I wonder how much of her feminist complaints were somewhat legitimate vs. a ploy to get attention for her work.

Anyway I like this video profile of Carolee Schneemann, Barbara Hammer and Gunvor Nelson. The other two are getting old too. 20th century film personalities are rapidly leaving us. https://vimeo.com/245243561

What's wrong with his assertion? While the use of certain phrases does seem unorthodox he did bring a valid point: How much can someone fling gender criticism on a field where experimentation is the objective and lack of mainstream attention, or even established "art house" publishing, is rare?

Maybe some people can when we add the suspicious factors that take play in the auctioning and promotion of said art, but that usually just falls under good old nepotism heavily mixed with money laundering schemes.

And to make this somewhat on topic, i know this is not the board to place this but had to post that Dick fucking Dale died in the 16th of March. While perhaps not the absolute creator, he definitely was The Man in the Surf Rock guitar field, the most notable part of the genre and certainly one of the last icons of the Americana and Jukebox imagery.

As much of a guitar revolutionary as Hendrix, dude was also half-slav, half-classic arab. Interesting but somewhat obvious when we hear his musical influence.

/pol/ is a little unhinged these days, talking themselves into mass murder, but I'm curious which part of that post you disagree with? Your zero effort reply gave no details.

I don't think Carolee Schneemann's work was unjustly lacking acclaim. She was well-regarded in film and art circles. It's possible some crappy artists surpassed her, but better artists also had less acclaim than her.

How much more successful should she have been?

ID politics is a way to get noticed. I was merely wondering if she used it to her advantage. In the last five years there's been plenty of cynical "woke" posturing for career advancement.

Rutger Hauer

Son of busy drama teachers, he was raised by private nannies and relatives until he ran out in his teenage years to the sea. After a year he returned and worked various odd jobs while finishing school by night, then he joined an acting school at college.

He seems to have finished it and joined an experimental acting group for a couple of years until Paul Verhoeven, fresh from a series of documentaries and one even winning an award for a military documentary, found him and offered a job for his new ventures at Dutch television in a series so-called Floris, man was 25 at this point.

The series was a success and established both in firm ground, later they collaborated in perhaps a couple of Netherlands' most famous projects internationally: 1973's Turks Fruit, 1975's Keetje Tippel and 1977's Soldaat van Oranje.

After the international release of the latter, along with Verhoeven fighting with the national media and producers (concluding with his famous revenge in form of a movie years later) Hauer jumped the pond and found himself in international projects like 1981's Nighthawk and 1982's Blade Runner.

The man purportedly had a habit of picking roles depending solely if he liked the character and if he could potentiate its traits, giving place to memorable roles in big movies or awkwardly strong performances in direct2video projects. Movies like 1986's The Hitcher, 1989's Blind Fury and 1992's Split Second just like 1988's La Leggenda del Santo Bevitore are example of this.

Man was also informally known as one of the few actors who insisted on portraying german SS units as any other kind of soldier, and if anything more refined if we are to go by his SS roles which were more than a couple; this grounded obvious industry controversy and the mythical "punitive" projects mentioned in contemporary urban legends regarding people who are against vilification. Truth or not this fella worked well in the vast majority of his movies, which made him the most famous dutch actor around.
