What's /film/'s favorite Woody Allen film?
Jackson Parker
Saw this yesterday. It was pretty funny and the main character was extremely autistic. Not the best Bresson, actually it might be the worst one from him that i have seen but still pretty good. The ending with the woman is hilarious. Was this thing intentionally funny? I read that some people found L'Argent funny, that one wasn't really funny to me.
Love and Death, his le neurotic jew schtick is annoying.
Luis King
The book is good but a bit messy. There are interesting reflections in the there but it goes too much into explicit pontification rather than illustrating the ideas through the story and characters. That works in a book, but I wonder how the film does in adapting it.
For those who have read the book and seen the film, how does it compare? I imagine a successful adaptation would look a bit like American Psycho, reducing a lot of the longer monologues detail into a series of sketches which convey the same idea in a different medium.
Isaiah Baker
I can't stand Woody Allen or his movies. His self-obssession and neuroticism are disgusting. The actual neuroticism isn't seen in the play-acted anxious behaviour but in his need to put the behaviour on stage at all, and to pair himself with beautiful women while loudly whining about worried and inadequate he is. He's a charmless, disingenuous narcissist, and what Orson Welles said about him is true.
>"I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man," he tells filmmaker Henry Jaglom. "That particular combination of arrogance and timidity sets my teeth on edge." When Jaglom objects that Allen isn't arrogant but shy, Welles drives on: "Like all people with timid personalities, his arrogance is unlimited." Allen "hates himself, and he loves himself, a very tense situation. It's people like me who have to carry on and pretend to be modest, everything he does on screen is therapeutic."

About to marathon this kino. What can I expect? I have only seen Intolerance by Griffith so far, which I really liked.
Samuel Thompson
There was a thread last night where OP asked for movies about European/American aristocracy/upper classes in the late 1700s to early 1900s. What do you think of the list he ended up with?
>inb4 a couple of those aren't exactly about aristocrats or fall a little out of the time period
Also post other posters like this one.
Oliver Bell
Wow new invisible man looks pretty spooky!
Jaxson Rivera
Radio Days. Comfy film
Jonathan Morales
I like it, since lot of films from my list ended up on the the chart.
L'Innocente, Ludwig, Il Gattopardo, Senso all by Visconti are a must.
The Draughtsman's Contract
The Age of Innocence
Mysteries of Lisbon
Time Regained
The Lady and the Duke
The Marquise of O
The Duchess of Langeais
Francisca (1981)
Doomed Love (1978)
I would drop some titles from the chart since i don't like them and replace them with some from my list, but it's still a good chart.
Aiden Peterson
Love and Death, probably
Mason Anderson
>Parasite
>Midsommar
>Joker
Pick one
Hunter Bennett
King Lear ;)
Levi Hill
Everything I've seen by Teshigahara has been fantastic.
Andrew Brooks
No '39 Wuthering Heights? Really?
Brayden Robinson
Yeah, the Italian ones are at the bottom because I insisted he add at least some of them on aftewards. Il Gattopardo is THE film about aristocracy imo.
I might also switch the Dangerous Liaisons for one of the other versions, and Mary Poppins is an odd one out, but it's a very nice selection overall.
Charles Rodriguez
Liaisons is good imo. I would replace Poppins and The Favourite. The Favourite is basically inferior Greenaway style film.
Swann in Love and 2 Manoel de Oliveira films (Doomed Love, Francisca) are great.
Jordan Nelson
Horrific selection. Cries and Whispers, Barry Lyndon, The Duelists, Our Hospitality, The Favourite, The Age of Innocence, all trash.
Best ones there are Orphans of the Storm, Diary of a Chambermaid, Gone with the Wind, Ludwig and Mary Poppins
Alexander Turner
>Cries and Whispers
>trash
Take your words back right now
Christian Anderson
>Barry Lyndon, The Duelists, Our Hospitality, The Favourite, The Age of Innocence
Why?
Ludwig is not even the best Visconti on there.
Mason Walker
Both the book and the movie are god-tier, they're different, but entirely complimentary IMHO.
Henry King
I agree with those swaps.
Ethan Wood
Joker.
Luis Young
Parasite and Midsommar are 2/10s
Joker is a 9/10
Nathan Baker
Joker is 5
Josiah Rodriguez
Watching the Ladd-Lake noirs atm, better duo than Bogart-Bacall imo
Carson Bennett
Watched Blade runner 2049 yesterday. Didnt think Ryan Gosling was good.
Liam Evans
Wtf, me too
It was fucking great
Thomas White
He's alright in The Nice Guys
Jack Lopez
I like the premise for this, it would actually better in a film that wasn't arthouse. The constant philosophizing and abstract direction to some of the scenes got in the way for me. Wouldn't mind a remake that didn't take as long to get his new face and offered more time to explore what that might feel like.

That's what I was wondering about here .

Have you seen Seconds (1966) with Rock Hudson? It's a bit like what you describe, and a decent film.
Juan Long
What the fuck is going on with Yas Forums right now holy shit.
Jonathan Hernandez
Best bit was the music. Was disappointed Jared Letos character didnt have a part.
Joseph Collins
What's was that old Russian movie with a guy with a moon head in the poster?
Christian Parker
What do you mean?
Logan Jackson
Stalker?
Ayden Clark
Moonhead Mikael?
Evan Harris
to the user who gave me the man without a map mega thanks again definitely the worst of the teshigahara/abe collabs but still an interesting watch
Blake Adams
what do we think of this kino
i just saw it, it's pretty good
Dominic Barnes
The music was just the standard Zimmer farts
Ayden Parker
It was some other thing, I don't remember if it was a moon head or some other thing but the poster looks kinda like this. It was a drawing of a guy with a round white head and some ruskie text underneath
Luke Reed
Whats a Zimmer, some kind of synthesiser?
Isaac Garcia
Washed up hack whose last great score was The Thin Red Line.
Visitor of a Museum, 1989
Eli Bennett
Yojimbo was pretty good
Stay tuned for my next blogpost
Xavier Taylor
also i'm not kidding, it's pretty fuckin depressing
while he's nowhere as good as vangelis, he did an okay job as a replacement for blade runner 2049
if i'm correct he had to redo tears in the rain by ear
Jonathan Flores
Yes that's it thanks man
Easton Watson
Antz
Julian Rivera
I still wonder the Johannsson's score would have been like. I thought Zimmer did a mediocre job, even if it was okay, that really doesn't cut it. His music and Leto's godawful performance are the worst things about the film.
You are welcome
Christopher Jackson
Just saw pic related, it was like if Battle of Algiers was directed by Béla Tarr. Super interesting film but also a bit confusing and convoluted. Definitely seems like one that will hold up on a rewatch. Anyone else know of this kino.
Camden Rodriguez
Nice digits, only thing I can find is a 2020 sci-fi movie.
Jayden Jackson
Can we agree that she's anime?
Hunter Ward
This is from 1969.

Justin Cook
this looks interesting and borges wrote the script it's added to my list
Isaac Nguyen
That does look interesting, thanks for the recommendation.
David Ross
I watched that movie a long time ago
I didn't like it all
Aaron Johnson
What does /film/ think of Dekalog, and Kieslowski in general? I love his work and Dekalog is one of my favorite pieces of filmmaking, I'd call it one of my favorite films because it feels more like a huge anthology film than a tv series, kind of like Twin Peaks The Return, another of my favorites.
Landon Johnson
Just watched my first Jang Sun-Woo film. Always thought it was bizarre how Hong Sang Soo seemed to create films dedicated to his style when all other Korean directors were making plot/narrative/twist focused films.
But this film feels like proto-Hong and now it makes sense. Personally, I like this RttRt film a lot. Reminds me a lot of Mother and the Whore where the critique isn't satirical so you could easily think it isn't a critique. Very dialogue heavy and just plain abusive Asian men. So uncomfortable but scenes seep into each other so fluidly.
Angel Foster
Stardust Memories, it's his 8½

Invasion 1969 directed by Hugo Santiago
Xavier Bell
why?

Cute cat! ;)
