Have you seen other Tsai's films?

Is that still from Casa de Lava?

I liked it

Yes

Yes, The River still my favorite. Still think 90s version of Tsai is the best one.
Jean-Claude Brialy is always nice to watch in films good fella

Hmmm maybe OP could stop being a faggot for once and include something to spur discussion in the OP instead of a random movie still??

>Parasite
>Midsommar
>Joker

Pick one

Hmmm maybe you should make the thread next time then

Wow great comeback yard ape. Enjoy your shitty boring thread that survives off of page 10 bumps for the next 5 hours

>it's not my fault for fucking up, it's your fault for not doing what i ended up doing
I didn't know women posted on Yas Forums

I have only seen Days and Rebels of the Neon God. I agree with what you said. From what i understand Tsai has been developing this long take aesthetic for a while. I tried watching Walker and i could not get through it. I think there are some very good images in this film but not enough of them to warrant the lengths of some of the takes he does. I wouldn't call all of them hypnotic, the worst part is that there are some that are hypnotic, so you have one bad and one good etc. It makes it annoying since there is potential. The scene you put under spoiler tag really really dragged on, i get what he was doing but he went overboard with that. I also agree with your choice of the best shot, the cat in there is nice. I also gave it 5, it stayed with me shortly after i saw it but i'm still annoyed about that prolonged scene. So far the disillusionment, boredom and loneliness that Tsai tries to portray have been done by more successfully by Antonioni. I have only seen 2 of his films so i will see about the rest.

Also here is a good interview about the film.

The Wayward Cloud is his most meme'd one.
Vive L'Amour and The Hole his best.
Edward Yang and Triple H are still better directors than him, Tsai is like a decade late in comparison in terms of mastering filming.

>How do you create an intimacy for the two actors who are not together for an entire movie and are only together for one moment?

>First of all, Lee Kang-sheng is actually my actor: he’s been working with me, we have a really close relationship, and he will actually do anything that I ask him to do [laughs]. And when it comes to Anong, he actually had no idea what I was doing. He had no idea that Lee Kang-sheng was an actor, he had no idea that Tsai Ming-liang was a director. When we were shooting those images, those videos of him cooking, he realized that maybe we were shooting something. Maybe for TV, maybe for films.

lmao he's a gay pimp

I will try to watch his films chronologically. Never seen anything from Hou. Yang is okay, but i have only seen Taipei Story.
They live in a house together iirc. Tsai is gay and Lee is not.

Definitely watch Yi Yi, A Brighter Summer Day, and The Terrorizers. They are Yang's best in my opinion

Alright, i will check them out. Thanks for recs.

Also, for Hou, all I've seen are The Assassin and City of Sadness. The former is just ok, but the latter is a masterpiece. I've heard Millennium Mambo is pretty good as well

>They live in a house together iirc. Tsai is gay and Lee is not.

Puppetmaster and City of Sadness are the ones that look the most interesting to me. Unfortunately they are only in DVD quality and from what i have read the scan for Puppetmaster is kind of bad.

RIP Lucía Bosé

The Conversation is better than the Godfather and Apocalypse Now.

HHH films are stuck in a perpetual right holder nightmare. Don't expect blu ray transfers anytime soon.

It's pretty similar to Zulawski

Zulawski's films have blurays, no? At least Japanese blurays. The Devil and On the Silver Globe have one for sure.

Yeah. What happened is that Mondo vision got the go ahead from Zulawski to restore his flims,
They quickly released La Note Bleu and Possession, but they were midway working on the restoration of On The Silver Globe and The Devil when Zulawski died.

The new right holders demanded literally millions for a western blu ray release even though two of the restorations were already finished. Thankfully they got released in Japan, because there was a genuine possibility they would never leave the festival circuit.

Anyone has some autistic habits related to films? For example, I couldn't watch a Kubrick film without also watching one by Scorsese. I always paired both and always watched the same number of films by both directors. I also paired Bergman and Kurosawa but these 2 have a lot of films.

I need one specific brand of coffee for the ultimate experience. I got so used to always having the cup of coffee at home that I bring it to the local cinema as well

What brand is it?

Alright, i didn't know that new right holders demanded literally millions for a western blu ray. Bunch of fucking idiots. It's shame that Zulawski died, i read that he was preparing a film and Del Toro was doing some creature design for him.

glorified set designer

Are you mentally ill or American?

You are retarded.

Watched Kiarostami's Close-up today. I didn't find it as dramatic as I would like but still a great film.

About to watch this for the first time. What am I in for?

Yang > Tsai > HHH

Did you already watch Birth of a Nation and Intolerance?

yeah

>I didn't find it as dramatic as I would like
What

What are some artsy movies from 70s/80s that are kind of off the wall but most importantly chock full of nudity, bonus points for big bushes and extended full frontal scenes, double bonus points for some lips.

The movies of Jesus Franco.

I can't watch more than a film from the same director per month
I don't watch two films from the same country in a row
I watch 1 documentary and animated film per week
About to watch how Lillian Gish got her hand frozen which ended giving her terrible pain during her whole life because Griffith didn't give a fuck about protecting her from the cold

I'm very familiar with Jess Franco, Russ Meyer, Tinto Brass.

>On April 10, 1924, the Goldwyn Company officially agreed to merge with Metro Pictures, putting von Stroheim's nemesis Thalberg directly in charge of Greed.[89] Von Stroheim and Louis B. Mayer had a lengthy confrontation over the film's editing, which according to both men ended with von Stroheim claiming that all women were whores and Mayer punching him.

B&R

His Griffith eulogy is beautiful
youtu.be/frNv-tVBafo
Breaks my heart to hear him crying towards the end

For documentaries I would highly recommend The Act of Killing, The Look of Silence, Koyaanisqatsi, Grey Gardens, Lessons of Darkness, Heart of a Dog, Streetwise, The Pearl Button, Nostalgia for the Light, and How to Die in Oregon if you haven't seen them

IRL trollface

>I can't watch more than a film from the same director per month
really? I like to go through entire oeuvres when I can. gives me a good appreciation of how a director's general aesthetic improves or declines with subsequent projects.

Haven't watch Grey Gardens, Lessons of Darkness, Streetwise and How to Die in Oregon so maybe I should see to find them, thanks.
The two chilean ones aren't my thing.

I have to many films to watch from many directors, so I try to get a bunch each month. I watch like 14 films per week, sometimes 21 if I had free time and don't watch other non-film stuff.

For documentaries I recommend all of Wiseman's films.

Arthouse films dealing with the apocalypse or films that are post-apocalyptic please.

No Millennium Actress?

wow, 14/week? I average around 5 or 6/week. I'm not really a fan of watching more than one a day.

What are you downloading?

I watched that film before I start rating them propertly, yeah is one of my all time favorites, personal 10/10 for me. I just posted those I watched while doing a proper critical view, in technical and artistic terms

2 per day (day/night) is the best way to watch films
3 per day (day/afternoon/night or day/night/midnight) is the best if you have to rush it
4 per day is not recommendable except if you watch 1 or 2 silent films. It fucks your brain later at night believe me.

what are some entry level films without much dialogue to watch with my gf? She's not a brainlet by any means but still has norman sensibilities for what a film should be. I was thinking a Wong Kar-Wai joint might be good but they're so saccharine and hopelessly romantic she might find them too cheesy
