Looks like the thread is already pure gold.
These threads are the best. Film is my life, and I love talking about it with my Yas Forumsbros.
The gynocentric list has better art direction and more emotional depth while androcentric has tighter storylines and better dramaturgy
>Truffaut and Resnais having more emotional depth than Tarkovsky and Bresson
Not him, but I'm guessing he was referring to a general trend among those lists, and not something that's true for every specific instance. I swear, some of you have no concept of nuance
Are there any androcentric female directors besides Riefenstahl?
What makes a film more masculine or feminine?
This was a fantastic film. Isn't this quick cut editing usually said to be Roeg's invention? Seems like Herz did it before and better. Any opinions?
Just watched the color of the pomegranates. Boy what a fucking kino, is like watching a film from another planet.
It's all the life stages portrayed in such a poetic and spiritual way. Somebody recommended me to watch that in here, thanks so much to whoever that was.
Why
>Finish film in a foreign language, usually Cantonese
>Immediately start walking around my house pretending to speak said language
Lol does anyone else fucking do this? I feel so fucking autistic
Just finished this. Malick is still the king.
>Gallo
>gynocentric
but both of his films are about dudes. The women in them are mostly just props for him to make out with.
>Film is my life
lmao what a pathetic life
Buffalo '66 is what a film called Marriage Story SHOULD have been. Just a dumb comment but I think Marriage Story would have been a great title for it.
>Ozon
Dropped
Every girl I've watched Buffalo 66 with loved it, so that must mean something.
I never got the point of that scene. Is the implication that Billy has paruresis from being raped in prison?
If you know it, you know it.
Lina Wertmuller
Parasite if you want a good drama
Midsommer if you want to be creeped out or are a drug abuser
Film is what soothes and entertains me and the death of Max von Sydow is genuinely more saddening and moving to me than any of your deaths will be. You could literally drop dead in front of me and it wouldn't affect me 1/3rd as much.
>posts on Yas Forums
>Pasolini
>androcentric
actual autism
>gets legitimately upset over the deaths of people he's never even met
>probably hasn't talked to any of his family in months
lmao
I have more good memories and laughs and tears because of Von Sydow than I do of my own family.
i have a feeling you're coping with your family problems by making fun of people with family probles on the taiwanese gay hook-up website, but you know it's just a feeling so whatever
>What do you plan to watch today?
HHH's A City of Sadness (1989)
over at cytu dot be/r/tv4c in a five minutes
As his ninth feature film, and first feature film in his "Taiwanese History Trilogy," Hou's A City of Sadness was almost universally acclaimed by film critics as a masterpiece upon its release.
This was great.
finally watched vampyr. didnt really like it. main actor wasnt very good.
>gynocentric
is this where the sun revolves around a vagina
Dreyer's best film
I want to see this. I just finished Wong Kar-wai's filmography today and I want to move from Hong Kong to Taiwanese New Wave, starting with HHH and Edward Yang.
Never got to see many Patrick Tan films though because I can't find them anywhere. If anyone has a magnet for Final Victory or Love Massacre, even terrible quality, please share it. Thank you.
notes taken, will check kg and such in due time and eventually update in in a /film thread
You need to watch The Straight Story
l-lmao...
>Love Massacre
Youtube
They only like it because Gallo is hot
No, he just hates faggots, because he isn't one. He wants to make that very clear.
Watched it last night. It was pretty lame.
No, it wasn't.
Just a little bit, yes. The best scene was the man sitting down and then his shadow comes and sits down behind him.
It's visually stunning and atmospheric picture. You are lame.
Come on now, it didn't look that great. I did really like the shot of the man with the scythe ringing the bell. The main character was distracting to me. Looked like he needed to puke the whole time. That weird factory or whatever it was where the girl was held captive was an ugly location I didn't like.
It did
i agree was visually decent and atmospheric sometimes but whenever they go outside this turned to dogshit. i find it hard to judge old films. theyre too old.
>i find it hard to judge old films. theyre too old.
Jesus Christ. What are some of your favourite films then?
i dont know. i never remember films i like. my favourite was apocalypse now ages ago but now i dont consider myself to have favourites. recent ones. i liked were herzogs nosferatu, aguirre wrath of god, the departed, vertigo, whistle in the winds. force de majeure was okay but not good. im sure theres a few ive forgotten i seen recently but cant remember. only old films i liked were metropolis amd joan of arc. didnt like old nosferatu or m.
Yes.
>he liked The Departed but not old Nosfetatu
Cringe
When I met my current wife we started talking about anime and cartoons like Finding Nemo and Evangelion, both of us thinking the other was only interested in that sort of thing. Then she mentioned Tarkovsky trying to sound all smart onto me and I love Tarkovsky, immediately got her reference and the conversation went to true kino. We are now together for 3 years, we like to smoke weed and have some coffee, watch Gumball episodes and then move to Bergman in a beat.
My ex-wife was a good woman in a lot of senses but she liked watching The OC and 500 days of Summer, it was never made to last.
I could not agree with him more.
What's wrong with 500 Days of Summer exactly? I used to like it too before I discovered actually good films. I'm just trying to pinpoint the problem with it.
Thank you very much.
Thanks. I would still like my own copy if anyone has a torrent for it, but I can watch it this way at least.
No big deal, it's alright, it's just a bit corny and not my cup of tea.
It was kino
>Godard sucks and Truffaut is vastly superior
ftfy
Whatever you think of her films Kathryn Bigelow is pretty damn androcentric.
midsommar wasn't a film so much as an acid trip-- and it wasn't even a good one.
Night on Earth reminds me of that HBO reality show taxi cab series except more eccentric and comedic.
I fucking cried laughing at pic related, all the taxi driver stories were great except maybe for the first one with Winona, she was cute, her acting wasn't that great though.The blind passenger describing how she perceives the world was very interesting and hot
