you forgot McG

Why are you lumping arthouse and "classic" cinema together you pretentious tryhard faggot. They are completely different things.

arthouse fantasy?

So what’s the appeal of the Czech new wave, I tried so hard to get into it but I found this set of movies aside from Daisies to be completely flat and uninteresting, even the opus film of the movement Marketa Lazarova gets a bit tedious in the last act.

nice bangers

Guess I'm not a pleb then

You just have a bad taste friend. Daisies is the worst one from the bunch and generally the most overrated film of Czechoslovak New Wave. Watch The Cremator.
> the opus film of the movement Marketa Lazarova gets a bit tedious in the last act.
I disagree, it is a masterpiece. That being said it cant be opus film of the movement since Vláčil is not part of the movement. Anyways watch Valley of the Bees, you might like that more.

How is Marketa not part of the movement? At least daisies had some visually interesting shit going on, the rest of that set is like a goddamn exercise in endurance watching.

Explain the value of the films then motherfucker I watched them all and their relation to their current social situations is paper fucking thin

Because Vláčil as a director is not part of the movement. He is contemporary of the movement but not part of it. I guess like Melville or Bresson and FNW. Do you understand now?
I disagree i think whats good about those films are the visuals. Czechoslovak NW generally has pretty interesting visual style and lot of them have good surrealist atmosphere.
If you liked Daisies watch Fruit of Paradise.
>I watched them all and their relation to their current social situations is paper fucking thin
So what? I mean what is your point?

How many of you know Fernando Fernan-Gomez's Voyage to Nowhere? Probably the best spanish movie of the 20th century...

Attached: Viaje a ninguna parte.png (970x869, 1.1M)

This looks interesting, tell me more

Looks like The Travelling Players in Spain

Fernan Gomez started as a comic actor and became one of the most respected writers of spain, partly cause his great talent insulting other people.

He made over 30 films, many are VERY WEIRD, but this is my favourite. It's about an old actor (mis)remembering his travels around spain with his small theater troupe after the spanish civil war, lots of comedy moments but very poignant. Full of real life anecdotes.

are there any movies like this one?

The Painted Bird

Never heard of this one. Yeah it sounds similar. Fernan Gomez is more classical director than Angelopoulos.

Watched this yesterday, love every minute of it.

Had only watched Claire’s Knee before. Rohmer is completely different to the other French New Wave directors. He’s almost the anti-Godard.

He is like Ozu, making films with similar themes but they are always good.

>>Massivo Titti
truly an incredible body of work

Movies for this feel?

Or some featuring the same sort of music, this atmosphere...

what does /film/ think about La Moustache (2005)?

Uncle Boonmee i guess

Was it, dare I say it, kino?

not OP, but it opens up more films for discussion. it's really just a thread to talk about good films

absolute kino. I thought it was going to be a meme movie, but it's actually really good

One bite, everyone knows the rules.

Why were there so many screens of text in The Gold Rush and why did the movie constantly blurt out "Georgia" whenever she was on-screen? Both got really annoying as the movie progressed

What's the appeal of tsai ming-liang films? I find then rather meandering and a waste of time

>meandering
Well he is one of the slower filmmakers. He has some good atmosphere, visual work and emotional resonance in his films.

Why don't you just go outside and experience the meandering life yourself

why subject yourself to watching a man brush his nipples with a toothbrush in the shower

Film is not life and never will be
Why watch anything? If you find Tsai meandering then what about Tarkovsky, Tarr, Angelopoulos etc.

Opinions?

poster is trash, movie is cash

i liked the other directors you mentions, some of their films at least. they maintain an emotional resonance as they don't focus on mundane tasks like taking a shower

Redpill me on De Sica

Tarr has 5 minute scenes of people walking.

Neorealism is a sham

The camera moves while they are walking thus it doesn't get boring. A still camera of people directing a mannequin drowning does however

What about the potato eating in Turin Horse then. What about Lav Diaz?

A Report on the Party and Guests is a better horror film than 99% of actual horror films, and its social commentary and casting make it pure kino.

CNW has a lot of films. The appeal is the strong narratives coupled with experimental techniques, and often a very clear political or social voice.
As you were told, Marketa Lazarova isn't part of the CNW.

Come and See.

yet to watch, is norte a good starting point?

Based fellow Czechoslovak New Wave enlightened chad.
>is norte a good starting point
Yes

This but it's actually the best movement and De Sica is the best of the best

>the best movement
No

I have totally given up on trying to show my gf kino. We watched the most entry level shit: Burning, Eraserhead, Good Time, and fucking Spring Breakers. She either fell asleep part way through or had literally no opinion on them. When I tried to spark any kind of discussion I was basically talking to myself. Being around her constantly during quarantine has made me realize what an npc she is, all she ever wants to do is cuddle and fuck. kinos for this feel?

Buffalo 66

That's women for you.

in the mood for love

Essential Harold Lloyd films? Dude shot hundreds, I think 10 should stick out in some way or another

brighter summer day

Movies might not be her thing, or maybe she doesn't enjoy Hollywood cinema.

I would try an accessible art house films (8 1/2 , citizen kane or tokyo story) , and if she also doesn't enjoy art house than you should drop it. There are other things in a relationship other than shared hobbies, though the current quarantine obviously makes this aspect far far more important.

>all she ever wants to do is cuddle and fuck.
Sounds like she doesn't care for your hobby, and you know nothing about hers. Maybe you should try something she enjoys?

War Of The Roses

If she didn't enjoy those films you can be sure as shit that she won't enjoy 8 1/2

This film is kino of the highest order, greatest revenge film of all time, greatest samurai film of all time, if you haven’t seen it, you cannot call yourself a connoisseur of Japanese cinema.

mate she doesn't have any hobbies. I asked her what she usually does when she's home alone and her friends are busy, she told me there's always someone to hang out with so she's never alone. Imagine living your whole life with other people always around to entertain you so you never have to cultivate any interests or take an active role in doing anything

>No Kubrick
>Zack Snyder

Questionable taste, user.

Based Shura shill.

Party and It's Guests is the best anti-communist film I have ever seen.

Just watched this. Pretty comfy.

Women always fall asleep during movies. I hardly ever get to watch movies now that I live with my woman. I've been able to sneak some in now with the quarteenerino though. Watched Withnail and I the other night and it reminded me how much I miss my bros from younger days.

Safety Last is the usual first pick. I prefer Buster Keaton though.

don't worry, you taste is also terrible

Absolute kino
