Favourite French New Wave directors and films?
Gaspar Noé
Jean-Luc Godard is okay, I guess
Really it is an overhyped movement.
>Gay director makes a film against Catholic Church pedophiles
what did Ozon mean by this?
For me it's Rohmer.
I refuse to blind-buy any film, regardless of price. Got burnt too many times when I was a kid.
Monologues and monologues amd monologues. No one cares. Write a book.
liking boys younger than 14 is weird
>He fed all of China
With the other half
Trying to figure out how they made that, is the one on the right standing closer to the camera than the one on the left, and they're actually staring past each other?
10 dollars of budget and 2 camels kino
Favorite Cassavetes?
I'm partial to Faces but I need to see Husbands and Chinese Bookie
1. Opening Night/Love Streams
2. AWUTI
3. Husbands
Unironically the one with Burt Lancaster and the almost dying Judy Garland, A Child is Waiting
Marker
Faces is one of the worst, most aimless movies I've ever seen
No your life is your life and films are films.
C'mon user, you're deluded.
>Faces is one of the worst
No, yet Shadows was very boring and campy
bro if you don't like extreme closeups of drunk people arguing then idk what to tell you
bookie is the best imo. also love streams and gloria
based
>everything after the explosion
Robert Wise went bananas on that wew wtf
Life is Life
When we all get the power, we all get the best
I mean this film sorry
cut 1 hour and it's good
>Find japanese qt into films
nice
>Favorites: Jim Jarmusch, Andrew Haigh, Xavier Dolan, MCU
well that's a weird combination if you ask me.
Jarmusch and Dolan are staples of basic Art Hoe taste
Can you lads help me at all? What are some films that deal with metaphysical themes? Does anyone have a chart? Could be something like Malick or Anger. I need more esoteric films to ponder during my quarantine.
>Dolan
>MCU
Run
Too late now I gave her a like. If she likes me back I'll just tell her that Permanent Vacation is the biggest piece of shit I ever seen in my life so I can be free.
The rest of his films are ok at least except that zombie last one, what a garbage thing
Thank you user
You have to try The Seventh Seal if you haven't already
So this guy's a fucking hack right?
I've seen Ichi and Visitor Q and both were fucking horrendous edgelord shit. Like I have no problem with violence or anything disgusting at all in cinema but he's so incredibly artless about it. And not in a purposeful way, either. Even edginess for the sake of edginess can be appealing, but he's just fucking bad at it, at least in those movies.
Granted I did see 3 Extremes and his short was the best of the bunch but it still wasn't that good at all.
I wanna see Gozu but I feel that it's just gonna be another major disappointment.

you just don't get him right
watch dead or alive 2 birds
Just watched wake in fright after seeing it talked about a lot. what did I think of it?
Films about philosophers-
Buddha (1961)
Light of Asia (1925)
Socrates (1971)
Descartes (1975)
That Scorsese was right all along
Miike: Who are you?
Sono: I'm you but stronger...
hidden fortress is better than seven samurai, only a plebeian will disagree
For me, it's Harriet Andersson in Smiles of a Summer Night
>not at Sommaren med Monika
come on
I've read the book on him by Tom Mes and even his autobiography and yes, he is a hack. But he says so himself. Miike never gave a shit about film. He slacked off in university and that's why his professors sent him off to be a assistant director for some shitty straight to VHS movie. He likes directing because he considers it easy work. Nothing wrong with that, but the fact that he was often praised as a visionary auteur by western reviewers is just funny.
It just so happened that edgy asian movies have gotten popular in overseas after Kill Bill was released and Miike's films just fit the "Japanese so crazy" theme. Nowadays he just makes schlocky fantasy epics and period pieces
Agree to disagree my friend
Rififi, even though it was filmed by an American.
That's not part of the New Wave. La Pointe Courte is generally regarded as the first New Wave film.
I wish I was as cool as Woody Allen
For me its the New World Extended Edition
Seijun Suzuki's Taisho Trilogy is so amazing yet apparently unknown outside of Japan. Despite their more meditative pace, the movies are even more visually audacious than his late Yakuza movies for Nikkatsu. Anyone else know any great directors like him and Greenaway that just laugh in the face of realism in favor of pure visual extravagance?
Keeping up with the replies because I've had the same desire for esoteric films along the lines of Malick. If you haven't watched it, then watch The Leftovers. Even though it's TV it's some of the best esoteric themed kino I've seen.
makes a lot of sense
30 mins of story and 3 hours of high school student poetry and shots of grass?
Do you know where I could find them?
I have it but have to watch his early stuff first
Ichi was kino, the violence wasn't artless it was passionate. Capeshit or something like that is artless, when the violence is shot nicely and it feels intense then it is done artfully (excluding the silly scenes of Ichi dismembering people off screen and blood spurting everywhere). The cinematography, camera movement, and soundtrack all combined in a very nice and synced way. If you can take the kino with the silliness and gonzo exploitation then it's big time kino.
>Cassavetes
Fav:
Bookie and Woman Under the Influence.
Least fav:
Minnie and Moskowitz
Thanks, I'll check The Leftovers out. Have you seen A Hidden Life? It's fantastic
"yes"
