Why can't people just watch good films? Why do they search for ways to justify watching garbage?

Yesterday I saw Winter Sleep in a midnight session. I think I already have my candidate for film of the year along with Under the Skin. For anybody having the opportunity, I strongly recommend it. A great piece of cinema.

Ida and Leviathan both look interesting to me, as does Manakamana.
I've seen a total of 5 films from 2013 and only one from 2014.
I do plan to watch this neo-giallo, even if it's not great. I like the fetish for retro style found in Amer and Berberian Sound Studio, even if the substance was light at times.

Did you watch both cuts of Nympho?

>>2812if you are talking to me yeah i watched both and theatrical, i'm sad to say, was better
i might have thought differently if i'd seen dc first but i really feel that in the dc pacing is obliterated and the few new scenes are truly unnecessary and i wouldn't say that lightly about something filmed by lars
the extent of my aversion to the dc though when i am so in love with lvt makes me think it's probably to do with the fact that i had watched the theatrical sooo many fucking times that any departure from it was always going to feel wrong
idk

I recently saw the extended version of Profondo Rosso and the added scenes just made it drag.

http://sensesofcinema.com/2015/world-poll-2/introduction-2014-world-poll/Welcome to the 11th Senses of Cinema World Poll.Unlike most other end of year polls, this one does not result in an aggregated “top 10 of the year” list. That is not the point of the poll. Rather, we wish to present a snapshot of the favourite films of Senses readers, contributors and friends (mostly international programmers, critics, filmmakers and cinephiles).
Yes the parameters may be looser – we encourage submissions of older films, for example, firmly believing that such viewing keeps cinephilia alive and is always in dialogue with contemporary film viewing. Perhaps occasionally things may seem almost chaotic. But this reflects the heterogeneity of international film-going.
Lastly, while many lists reflect what was released in cinemas through official distribution channels, it is exciting to see lists from all over the world that resonate strongly with the cinephile’s innate hunger for discovery. Many entries continue to include works seen on TV or the Internet. And a more open embrace of these aesthetic tendencies spills over into some of the films themselves, not the least in the multi-textural and allusive
Adieu au langage by Jean-Luc Godard, perhaps the film that appears the most times in the Poll.

What do you mean by "part of filmography"?
I get the impression that Godard needs to be seen in 3D to be fully appreciated.

>>2946i watch a lot of filmographies and i always do them chronologically, so i haven't seen norte and adieu because i'm not up to date with their films
about 3d i am concerned that it would be wrong to see adieu not in 3d but i will cross that bridge when i come to it

Nice call, this does sound pretty goddamn cool…
Created at irregular intervals, Pierre Léon’s small oeuvre oscillates between experimental home movie and theatrical mise-en-scène, found footage and documentary assemblages. PHANTOM POWER is a kind of sum of these rich and lavish efforts, a poetic series of cinematic fragments, an inventory of his cinematic output. What unfolds between russian folk songs and Ingrid Caven’s singing, between micro-dramas and found footage, is the poetic world of this wayward and still unknown artist, whose discovery and recognition is long overdue.

>>2952i think i would comfortably recommend it to everyone
if you like lang there is something very special there
>>2951yeah it can be difficult to decide what to do but if i have decided i am going to watch someone's films chronologically i will stick to it. supposing adieu turned out to be godard's last film i would want to have seen everything else he did beforehand first, that's what the chronology thing is really about to me
when you have seen films like turin horse and offret it becomes difficult not to treat everything new like it may be the last and think that you should be anticipating a farewell from one of your favourite filmmakers
