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

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."

>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.

I don't know about his 60s movies but I loved The King of Comedy

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.

>Only, they weren’t joking.

>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."

<“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.

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.

I hate to be morbid but we missed our weekly dead director

>One of his first films, Reconstituirea (The Reconstitution), released in 1968, is considered by some critics the best movie in the history of Romanian cinema. Two of his movies, O vara de neuitat (An Unforgettable Summer) – 1994 and Prea Tarziu (Too Late) – 1996, were selected in the official competition of the Cannes Film Festival. Another one of his films, Terminus Paradis, brought him the big prize of the Venice Film festival in 1998.

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."

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.

December 24, 1922 – January 23, 2019

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.”

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

>>14244

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?

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

>>14474

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.

>>14474

/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.

Agnes Varda

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/agnes-varda-dead-pioneering-filmmaker-french-new-wave-was-90-1096071

<Bibi Andersson, a Swedish actress whose portrayals of chaste schoolgirls, beguiling young women and tormented wives made her a muse and frequent collaborator of filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, most notably in “The Seventh Seal,” “Wild Strawberries” and “Persona,” died April 14 in Stockholm. She was 83.

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.
