Some user asked me this on the previous thread but it died before I saw it:
>Have you seen Akio Jissoji's Buddhist trilogy? I'm already planning on getting Arrow Video's Kiju Yoshida set but I don't know as much about Jissoji, I just really love what I've seen of the Nuberu Bagu and I'm wondering if its worth getting.
Yes, it's worth getting. Mujo and Uta are both absolutely Kino, especially the former, which is his best film anyway. Asaki Yumemishi (which is also included in the set IIRC) is very nice too. Mandara is the weakest link here IMO, but that film too is okay and has a handful of very memorable scenes.

"Art" films are an excuse for perverts to make fetish movies and opt in for an Oscar.
Ethan Hernandez
>some art films are like this, therefore all art films are like this too
Benjamin Smith
wtf he looks indian here. aryan phenotype?
Dominic Morris
Actual arthouse things are rarely nominated and if they even are it's for like editing or whatever.
Kayden Hughes
Tarkosvsky looks more east asian than Indian. He has Elliot Rodger asian people (like in these pics) hair not Russian hair.
Elijah White
>Oscar
You need to go back
John Stewart
What are the best French New Wave movies?
Nathaniel Lee
>tarkovsky be like:
>"godfather? meh"
>"woody allen? nah"
>"2001 a space oddyssey? meh"
>"terminator? hell yeah"
Aaron Turner
Breathless is the best of the whole movement.
Iirc he only liked the basic plotline not the actual movie.
Luke Richardson
>white people bad
>noble savages good
Oliver Gonzalez
it's true though. Whites started the Industrial Revolution (which was a disaster for the human race) and now they're fucking themselves over by iimporting trillions of rapefugees
Adam Anderson
it was the *nglo not white people
Michael Edwards
Opinions on this film?
Easton James
Brilliant, the best French film
Eli Lopez
is this /film/?
I liked it but it felt like it had no ending or the plot had any kind of connections with each other
t. just getting into old movies
Ryder Barnes
Why?
Yes, Bresson is the best director. Watch a Man Escaped next.
Andrew Roberts
For me? It's Andrei Rublev
Joseph Butler
You just got bitchslapped by Bresson, but don't worry, he'll click with you after your power level goes up
Dominic Baker
>Why?
>Epic avant-garde Resnais direction
>Epic Duras script
>Epic Fusco music
>Epic Okada J-French
>Epic Riva facial expressions
Yeah, I'm thinking it's epic
Aaron Thompson
>Epic avant-garde Resnais direction
>Epic Fusco music
>Epic Okada J-French
>Epic Riva facial expressions
That's all correct
>Epic Duras script
More like baffling. Baffling script by Duras.
The whole film is very beautiful and extremely well shot and directed. At the end it's also very emotionally hollow, just like Marienbad. I guess i also did not understand the main character to a certain extent.
Kevin Harris
It's actually one of the most emotional films for me. What didn't you understand about the main character?
Dominic Morales
What was her problem in the last third of the film? After she tells the story and goes her separate way.
Isaiah Torres
>It is precisely the feeling demanded by the paradoxical theme—that human union is neither permanent nor even, really, possible; we are separate even as we are inextricably entwined; one flesh is two. Thus, we the audience must pass through the same act of oblivion as “She” to learn what the film tells us. It is the very fact that she could forget the pain of her first love that makes her refuse to love again.
Nolan Harris

Insightful, thanks.

Carter Wood
Are these two movies worth checking out? I love Pink Floyd and they did the soundtracks for them
Carson Lopez

Robert Gonzalez

Great argument, I guess this is the highest form of discussion that can come from someone who thinks film is high art.
Ryan Perez
It's not like you made any argument at all.

>x has never at any point been in the thread
Xavier Watson
On the subject of Bresson, who do you think was influenced the most by him?
I think Tarkovsky was deeply influenced by Bresson's spirituality and reflective mode - the camera of the mind is the most powerful etc. they also share many thematic elements
Akerman shares Bresson's subtlety, use of 'boredom' and asceticism as an aesthetic tool (but she took it to perhaps even more extreme lengths), and basically adapted his techniques to pursue her own style
Schrader I think is entirely derivative of Bresson, without really understanding it, but without a doubt pays a great deal of respect to Bresson
Thoughts?
Henry Cruz
Well maybe not if your one of (((them)))

Mani Kaul is a great rarely-discussed filmmaker whose work has traces of Bresson, especially Uski Roti (1969)
