Hey I made that webm :)
Nice to see someone reposting it
No, I did :)
Shinji Somai's Moving was a tad disappointing. Like that last 20 minutes was amazing and some of my favorite cinema ever but that first half hour and 30 minutes downright feels like some melodrama trite....ugh
I'm just disappointed cause I could have loved this film so much more....
What's the best biblical kino? Bonus points for new testament.
Bros I'm having a really hard time getting through Hard to Be a God. Was I the pleb all along?
Anyone have good recommendations for non-Italian Giallo-esque films?
Looking for more stuff kind of like pic related
Pasolini's is objectively the best. If you even attempt to discuss this, you're a pleb, haven't read the bible or a midget minded American.
>having a really hard time
You're supposed to watch a movie all the way through at once you idiot, it's not a damn TV show
Unironically Mel Gibson made the most kino film about Jesus
I start it over each time. Calm down user.
I watched the Qatsi trilogy while shitposting in /film/
The Passion of the Christ made my gf at the time Catholic. She got her Wiccan tatoos removed because of that movie. Mel Gibson is so fucking based.
>the hedonistic homosexual's religious film is the best
I dunno. I watched The Irishman in a 12 episode sequence and it was kewl.
Any Jay Rosenblatt love on this board?
The Smell of Burning Ants is one of my most beloved films ever.
>doc
we don't cotton to your types 'round these parts
So is this the thread where we force ourselves to watch films we don't want to because anonymous internet strangers call you names if you don't say you loved it?
Gallo-esque you say?
Pasolini's movie versions of classic literature are all 10/10.
The movie is word for word exactly from the new testament. He doesn't change anything. The worst you could say is that he adds some jazz songs that are a bit out of place.
Don't tell me what I'm supposed to fucking do. Get bent.
Nah I've already written it off. Just trying to provoke a conversation. Hard to Be a God is just excruciating. I do wonder about the difference a better translation would make.
If you watch a movie like a TV show you're no better than the average netflix consoomer. You might as well twiddle with your phone while you watch like you're a fucking woman.
It's not really a doc though
He dabbed on both the right and the left with Il Vangelo secondo Matteo and Salo. He was simply a contrarian.
Best film made.
Fact, not opinion.
1. Ozu
2. Mizoguchi
3. Kurosawa (b/w)
4. Ichikawa
5. Kurosawa (color)
Dersu Uzala is the best Kurosawa film.
>Orson Welles
I'm in.
^^^^^^^^^ What's your guys' answer to this? ^^^^^^^^^
Grave of the Fireflies but that is simultaneously a weeb-normie-nigger reply so I shouldn't even say it.
Nah not really
At the age of 18, every American men should watch Birth of a Nation. The ones who don't like it, should get either a vasectomy or euthanasia.
based dubs
Don't be ashamed, user. I just want to hear as many peoples responses as possible. I think it's a really interesting question, something you only see once every ten blue moons on Yas Forums
Please don't use the word "sophisticated" to describe what goes on in these threads, you make the rest of us look like even bigger douchebags
Twenty Four Eyes
The Shop on Main Street
What's the best Murnau film and why is it Faust?
1. Nosferatu
2. Faust
3. Sunrise
4. Phantom
Man Bites Dog is allegedly a black comedy, but goddamn is it nihilistic. It's very good, but I don't like it at all.
Yeah, I'm looking for stuff that has twisty somewhat dreamlike stories, fake blades and even faker bright red blood, and tons of red herrings. Basically Argento influenced stuff. I just discovered that prior to this current golden age of Korean films, the previous generation was obsessed with making cheap horror movies. I've been trying to catch up on them.
Vincent Gallo is a stuck up piece of shit, btw. He hasn't made one good movie. Buffalo 66 is pretentious macho fantasy crap
Synecdoche New York
wrong
Probably either Funny Games or something else by Haeneke.
Sincerely - A.I. Artificial Intelligence.
Have you seen much Hong Kong horror? Its pretty fucking ridiculous shit
letterboxd.com
^Pretty good list to start with though I feel like its missing some very low budget kungfu films.
>Buffalo 66 is pretentious macho fantasy crap
Imagine a soijak attached to this post.

user this shit is why I keep coming back to this hellhole, Thank you.
He might be wrong but that doesn't change it is a lowbrow American flick.
Funny Games is just annoying
The Seventh Continent is depressing as shit though
Funny Games is a parody. Not sure why people find it upsetting.
I never understood the appeal of Sunrise. For me, it's Faust > Nosferatu > City Girl > Tartuffe > Sunrise
Thank you so much for this
Fuck you. I bet you drive a shifter, asshole.
City Girl is the best.
I'd sort that list by release date and aim for late 70s to 90s. The older films are going to be a little slower (like japanese monoke films from the 60s) and the newer ones are most narrative demented and a lot less spastic if you understand what I mean.
There's so much more though so play with the list a bit and you can explore. Its sad that Asia doesn't respect this period of HK films more though. Don't know what Asians don't have that "cult" mentality as much.
Redpill me on pre-war Japanese cinema
Imagine thinking Vincent Gallo has any talent
>Parasite
>Midsommar
>Joker
Pick one
The Brown Bunny is a good film. I enjoyed seeing it at a theater and watching an old couple during the blowjob.
3.5/4
The Lighthouse
Saw all three in theaters last year. Parasite and Midsommar were both fun with audiences and I would see them again. Joker almost put me to sleep.

I've only seen Ozu and Mizoguchi, my favorite is The Only Son.
Watch a Page of Madness. It really has no plot but it is a good film. Has good visuals
What Coppola films are worth watching?
