>>79I can tell you right now that it's going to win an Oscar, unless Interstellar is like second coming of Jesus Christ, which I doubt (it'll be 2011 all over again, where Inception won all technical and tied with Social Network in number of statues, with actors awards going to individual films) It's really good, but not massively epic, though I suspect future generations will consider this film important and cinema defining.

>>72me and my brother saw this a little while ago. We both liked it a lot but we wished that there was more context for the man wanting to murder the priest. Like, why then? If he had known the priest his whole life and was molested when he was young why that week in particular. It's not really important but just something that kind of bothered us. We didn't rule out the idea that we might have missed something.

>>111it was getting to that level, they were right behind me as well,
but there were decent periods of time when they shut the fuck up
and it was a relatively light hearted (in parts) film, so it wasn't too bad.

He might have just snapped and planed what he was going to do for a long time, don't forget it takes balls to pull that type of shit off… He might have tried when he was younger but pussyed out.

No.122
>>117Yea that's something we figured too. I really like movies like this, dealing with religion in the modern world.
I liked how the ending was sort of a mirror to the death of jesus, at least the part where he has the chance to run away and live but chooses not to.

Although I can completely understand what you're saying I thought it was kind of realistic to some extent, I think that's how it would be done.

It was nice to see a film about religion in modern times that was not a circle jerk of "GOD IS GOOD! NO JESUS NO PEACE!? KNOW JESUS KNOW PEACE!!!" or "HAHAHAHAHA LOOK AT THIS DUMB FUCK!!! HE IS BEGGING SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT EXIST TO MAKE SURE HIS MOTHER DOES NOT DIE FROM AIDS! WELL FUCK NUTS IF GOD LOVED YOU WHY DID HE GIVE HER AIDS!?"

>>128That was one of the best things about it, although for me it came across as somewhat preachy at times.
>>129To me it was fucking incredible, really beautifully surreal, interestingly minimalist story, design and production and just visually impressive and well made.
Some sections were emotionally brilliant too and it was one of those films that just left me amazed and confused.
the ending was a bit dodgy but other than that I thought it was fucking great, but it has been quite divisive so some people might not be into it.
but if you like surreal, simple, weird films with interesting ideas and film making and which are open to interpretation, then go for it.

Everything about the movie, the ghetto negro and wealthy white man who "forget all their differences and become besties!!," it's cloyingly feel good, emotionally manipulative nature, could only warm the heart of someone who has the mindset of a infant.

>>72I wouldn't call it film of the year. It's great and I really enjoyed it but as a story it doesn't work that well. It's heavy on message but everything in the movie is bult around trying to communicate it. A bit clumsy that.

>>204Oh I did and I can tell you that none of those characters came across as believable.
There's a point where the incredible just leaves you incredulous and calvary crosses that line almost immediately.
I'd already zoned out and stopped caring long before that one poofter sits in the church talking about chicks with dicks.

>>228This seems pretty accurate to me, it's still a good film though.
>>231And you've got to admit that's a purely subjective thing, to me they were all fairly believable, just depends on how much you're willing to suspend your disbelief unless they were
utterly ridiculous and unbelievable to all I don't think that could be seen as an objective problem that makes the film awful.

probably won't think of it as a big step in the future but it's certainly in my top 20 or 30 favourites.
I really loved it but yeah I understand why it wasn't that great to some people, but as I said even if you're not a big fan it's worth a watch.

No.295
>>288not seen either of those so I couldn't say whether these suggestions are better and I'm relatively new to the world of cinema in general but my favourites thus far have been The Wind Rises, Boyhood and Under the Skin, they're probably the three films I've seen that are worth watching.
Watched Locke, Calvary and a few other things too which were all pretty good and interesting but they don't need to be seen.

No.297
>>79It's definitively worth watching: just don't go to the cinema expecting a modern masterpiece or anything in that vein. In my honest imho, it's very interesting, but it could have been much more great if Linklater had focused in realism and character development as much as he did in generational clichés and cultural references. A 7.5/10 4me.

Locke and Calvary were great films, I'd say they're both like 8 or 9, Calvary for it's story and production and Locke for the fantastic use of form.

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

>>2813Thanks, that's what I was wondering. I haven't seen either and planned to get the director's cut, but I may rethink that.
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

>>2947Ah okay. I've tried to do that too with a few directors, but often get derailed by shiny new blurays from later parts of the filmography.

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
