At least link the previous thread you lazy fuck.

I haven't seen a single /film/ thread do that before
Besides, these are a "lite" general, you shouldn't need to skim the previous threads to catch up.

Reverse that
Shoot on 65mm and you might as well shoot digital, the quality is too high
35mm is the perfect balance of quality and distinct film feeling

For the user in previous thread who wrote about Marketa. Nice to see that you enjoyed it. I love it. Check out Valley of the Bees too, it's more modest film but equally powerful. Vláčil was very interested in compostions, the actors had to move exactly how he told them, in order to achieve the visuals he wanted. He also did detailed technical scripts. Basically storyboards with some descriptions.

Michael Bay is great.

are you really mixing fassbender and fassbinder?

A poem of life and death, Spring for the Thirsty depicts an old man and his journey to prepare for the afterlife whilst reminiscing his past. All of the emotions part of a person soon to depart are there, the vying for recognition after death, the wish to see ones passing leave an impact.
Yuri Ilyenko waxed a more personal poem of death and reminiscence than that of Tarkovsky, though the latter excels in the spiritual meditation of the subject matter, Yuri does it a more objective fashion. Give it a watch if you feel death as a subject matter is interesting.
If by any chance one has seen Parajanov's Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, Yuri adds to that canon quite expertly with White Bird With the Black Mark, it takes place in the Carpathian mountains just like the former film and is an apt exultation of the Ukrainian traditional lifestyle of the time.

How about we talk about Lina Wertmuller? Any favorite films of hers?

Lol can you not use the words "mature" and "sophisticated"

Have you watched Prayer for Hetman Mazepa, his last one? Absolutely wild movie

TRUE KINO FILTER:
Can you share your original thoughts about a movie that has yet to be inducted into the canon? So no relying on other's thoughts or posturing.

That's a really difficult question. I would say The Birth of a Nation but it is too American.

you should pay more attention to sound design, and you should try to stop being so pretentious

Should I watch El Sur (1983, Erice) or The Only Son (1936, Ozu)? I will watch the other one tomorrow.

Lmao this guy thinks digital has better resolutions than 70mm.

they all have the same "feel", that's what the film stock does, it has a baked-in color correction and the blacks and whites still have a hint of texture where a digital camera wouldn't even register any signal.

if what you want is grain, then yeah 16mm and 35mm are better, but you might as well shoot digital and add grain in post.

It's a rare example of a great piece of art that is also unapologetically American

peaked with his first flick

>Parasite
>Midsommar
>Joker

Pick one

El Sur

do you think it distracts from the meaning?

Intolerance is more grand, and says a lot more about humanity, but Birth is a lot more emotionally compelling, so I pick Birth

Intolerance is top tier epic.

resolutions above 4k are placebo, most films are mastered and projected at 2k.

that aside, arri alexas have better color accuracy and dynamic range than any film stock ever created, but that's not always needed unless you're going for total realism, like in a nature documentary.

el sur

Do you consider Chaplin to be British or American? His films feel too American.

Chaplin was a man of the world, making films that resonated internationally without that pesky language barrier. I can see why he didn’t want to jump right into sound films.

Thoughts on Alex Ross Perry? I've seen everything except for Her Smell and I love his filmography so far

loved Listen Up, Philip and Her Smell. his other films are slightly beneath par or I just couldn't get into them. look forward to his next.

Thoughts on Leni Riefenstahl?

Why did he trigger so many other directors? What do you think of him and how would you rank his films?

I like Amour, Caché and The White Ribbon a lot but didn't really enjoy the US remake of Funny Games. I haven't seen his original Funny Games or the rest of his films.

I dug it. Nice little nostalgic piece. I'm from FL, too, so maybe I'm biased. the sound design and color grading could use some work, though.

sent it out to any festivals or streaming sites?

Ah yes, this must be the sophisticated /film/ discourse I've heard so much about.

Hypocrite of the highest order. Very dishonest filmmaking, his films are mostly about bourgeoisie class(which he belongs to) and white guilt. Also the relentless nihilism and Bresson aping doesn't help.

That's right.

Explain why.
