Was titling films in the form of a question common in pre-war Japan or was it only Ozu who did that?
Nathan Nelson
This is the greatest comedy film of all time and nobody will be able to convince me otherwise
Anthony Bailey
As good as Tarkovsky's films are in their own right, they will always be derivative of Bresson
Easton Green
Both are based. Who else was Tarkovsky friends with? I just know about Bresson and Kurosawa
Jason Morris
with his husband Sergei
Asher Edwards
My favorite is Nights of Cabiria. It is comedy mixed with tragedy. My favorite. Really most of Fellini's are very funny.
Christian Martinez
Il bidone, I vitelloni, La Strada and Nights of Cabiria are incredibly comfy.
Jaxon Kelly
Give me your opinions on Corpus Christi.
Charles Rodriguez
To understand film better, should I just watch more films or should I read books and essays on films?
Jordan Rogers
Just watch every movie directed by DW Griffith, and then you'll know everything there is to know about film
Jayden Bennett

Jackson Mitchell
Are his works besides "Intolerance" and "The Birth of a nation" really worth watching?
Aaron Ramirez
He made hundreds of films, so obviously not all of them are worth watching, but beyond BoaN and Intolerance, I'd say Broken Blossoms, Death's Marathon, Abraham Lincoln, and The Painted Lady are definitely worth watching
Sebastian James
know what, it was kino
Daniel Young
Thank you, I'll check them out
Jace Hughes
Someone explain the ending to me.
Zachary Hill
Not even the best Hawks comedy

Roma? I haven't seen it but there's a lot of popular praise around it.
Logan Taylor

Aiden Wilson
About to start my post Tsui Hark film.
Carson Scott

Charles Cooper
More comedies like this and maybe some screwball films like My Man Godfrey?
Justin Adams
Tetsuo, La Jetée
Luke Ramirez

Anthony Reed
Is this the best Chaplin film?
Bentley Fisher
no
Matthew Rogers
Both Tarkovsky and Kubrick considered City Lights one of their favorite films
Brody Anderson
And both of them were hacks in comparison to me
Alexander White
Kubrick is a good director, his films were just unoriginal. Tarkovsky made some absolute kino. However you see it, both know much more about films than you lol
Luis Baker
pyw
Owen Ortiz
more like hackovsky and hackrick amirite fellas
Jacob Long
What should I watch today? Battleship Potemkin, La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc, Man with a movie camera or The Phantom Carriage?
Joshua Thompson
KINOPPARATOM
Josiah Wright
When in doubt, watch in chronological order of release
Joseph Richardson
>tfw the jigoku (1960) torrent stuck at 40%
Daniel Campbell
authentically international absolute language of cinema is the newest of them. I would watch Napoleon but I dont have enough time.
Samuel Bailey
1080? I might be able to get it for you, what's the size of the file?
Bentley Moore
got it from rutracker, it was the only one working, file is 7 gigs, but contains like six 1 gig VOB files
Easton Anderson
It is a DVD rip then, I dislike that rutracker does that a lot. Try finding a 1080 mkv file, if ypi can't I will try to get it for you.
Joseph Cox
thanks user, will look for it
Connor Gomez
Blue is the Warmest Color is on Netflix.
Eli Ortiz
Primer and Upstream Color but both are indie before arthouse
Jonathan Martin
Attention everyone: a bunch of Pasolini films have just been added to the Criterion Channel
Ryder Jenkins
Watched The Man Who Stole the Sun. It has so many bad parts it can't be called good, but so many good scenes that it ends up as an excellent mediocre film.
> Excellent jazzy soundtrack
> Great actor in the lead role
> Great sense of humor
> Creative scenes
> Good cinematography
But all those are counterbalanced by annoying stuff:
> The movie doesn't end. It keeps going on and on for 20-30 minutes.
> The woman could have been cut without losing anything.
> some dialogues and plot lines feel unpolished. Mostly those regarding the woman.
> Poor pacing
If they would have cut the film like crazy, and ended with an hour and 45 minute version, rather than the 2.5h, this would have been a super compy classic. It's intelligent, it has style, it's well shot, and the basic cat and mouse stuff work. But 2.5h is a lot of time, and the film fails to justify the run time.
Luis Kelly
Watching Martin Luther (1953) tonight. Hoping its good bros
Oliver Phillips
since last thread died before anyone answered:
what are some prep school kinos other than pic related?
Gavin Rodriguez
there are basically none, which is sad becuase it could potentially be kino
Caleb Flores
You're not special for dislinking The Godfather.
Caleb Roberts
I like it but it is a flick at best.
Gabriel Long
Brainlet opinion.
Josiah Hill
it's a movie
Joseph Bailey
Watch more movies, and question the decision to include everything you see and hear. Reading more essays and books can't hurt either but I've gotten a better understanding mostly from watching.
Oliver Bell
Well that was one wild ride...I guess. Movie was all over the place but undeniably charming. One of the films I like a lot of but the things I dont like also stand out quite a bit.
Anyone who has seen more Tsui Hark can confirm all his films are as colorful and spastic/screwball as this or is this more of an exception then a rule.
Juan Jenkins
It's actually a cinerama.
Luke Reed
It's not that great.
Carter Powell
neither is panic room
Henry Ross
>Solaris is more accessible and audience focused than The Seventh Seal
Is this real
David Morgan
all cineramas are movies
Camden Phillips
I would say neither are really accessible to "casual viewers" depending on what you mean by that.
Jose Edwards
Should I try Criterion Channel for month to watch a bunch of Godard? I haven't seen anything from him yet.
I watched Cassavetes's Shadows today with my mother and we both loved it. It's amazing how much it pays off when you just chill and let your actors act.
Nicholas Edwards
i bet he feels lonely, not a single FNW director is alive except for him, and many FNW actors are dead too
