I hope there's no pulp fiction posters in here
Chase Sullivan
...aah, my catfish phase... That was the life *sips*
Daniel Turner
Meme or kino? Also what's your opinion on Rivette? What are his best films?
William Ortiz
Just watched this, while it isn’t my favorite film from this movement this shot is my all time favorite moment of the CNW.
Zachary Johnson
Not even Léaud could save this.
Jeremiah Bailey
one of my favourite films ever
And the most apparent inspiration for Pavel Pawlikovski
Elijah Myers
This is now an /ozu/ thread. Topic for today: which is your favorite Noriko and why?
Tyler Lee
Just so you know. Gallo did talk about how he changed the ending of The Brown Bunny in the commentary. Although there was no mention of a brown bunny hopping away from the wreckage. He also claims many times that there is only a small portion cut from the cannes release. It's been claimed that it was up to 20 mins cut, but Gallo said it was closer to 8 mins cut since he guessed the run time of the cannes release. (the salt flats scene was also one of the scenes that was also shortened)
Asher Jackson
The only part of this movie I remember is when they stamp that girl's ass, she was so cute
Levi Fisher
Great movie
Lucas Rodriguez
Yes, it's good.
John Diaz
My fave CNW moment is probably when the dude reassembles his decapitated wife in Happy End (1967), or when the hippos throw up food into the guy's hand
Or the ending scene of Funeral Ceremonies (1969), that was so kino
Adam Cruz
a Croatian masterpiece
Jonathan Brown
>when they stamp that girl's ass, she was so cute
ywn fuck prime Jitka Zelenohorská :((
Lucas Parker
no one is saying he was the first to use pop culture references, but PF was a breath of fresh air when it came out and continues to be an entertaining film. Taratino is not Godard level but he is easily a top contemporary American film director, regardless whether you like his films.
Oliver Wilson
Fav Noriko is Late Spring, to me Setsuko’s acting + Ozu’s direction is at its most meaningful and sublime, what I really love is how inner conflict is shown, like the contrasts between how she physically reacts to something vs what she verbally says blew me away when it finally clicked with me on the second viewing, also I will always argue that the empty vase shot towards the end represents emptiness, in the Buddhist sense as well as Norikos current state of being.
My favorite Ozu though is either Good Morning or Late Autumn since those are more light and maximum comfy
Jayden Brown
I like both. Now what.
Julian Phillips
There are better Croatian films
Dominic Hughes
Hippos throwing up food on a guys hand? This Happy end sounds like kino
Ethan Gomez
>breath of fresh air when it came out
I don't care what it was when it came out
>continues to be an entertaining film
No, it doesn't
>contemporary American film director, regardless whether you like his films
No. By this logic greatest directors right now would be him and Nolan. Tarantino made his best film in 90s - Jackie Brown. After that he made trash after trash. Hollywood was decent but once again he had to put le epic violence in it since he can't do anything else.
Blake Lopez
Honestly Pulp Fiction is pretty good but I like Go more. I also prefer Death Proof if we're talking about Tarantino but I also love Russ Meyer in general so I'm biased.
Jeremiah Bailey
Not him but it is. Lipský made great comedies. Check ou Happy End and his western Lemonade Joe for sure.
Andrew Brooks
Name them. I only know The Birch Tree and The Ninth Circle.
Camden White
Definitely one of my /film/ waifus
Isaac Martinez

>Kaja, ubit ću te!

Don't know which have subtitles, I assume not all of them.
Lincoln Hill
Best films for a broken heart?
Jackson Walker
Blue Valentine
Jacob Foster
Paddington and Paddington 2
Adrian Lewis
The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant
Juan Hall
I've seen a bunch of Mimica films and they're terrible
Gabriel Sanchez
I've only seen these two features and they're pretty strong modernist stuff
Jacob Mitchell
>claims to be /film/
>hasn't seen Fassbinder's early noirs
Instant filter
Oliver Lopez
Fucking die stupid faggot
Kevin Brooks
It's not good.
Justin Cruz
>disrespecting Fassbinder
Isaiah Evans
agree to disagree, and I like this style.
Krolikiewicz did it better
what? it's one of the best looking Japanese films ever made
Elijah Flores
Is this movie good? I tried to watch part of it. The way it sexualized its underage main character made me uncomfortable. Does it get better?
Levi King
Yes, it's amazing.
Caleb Ortiz
I like Krolikiewicz's Na wylot. It felt mildly Lynchian for some reason.
Kayden Miller
>best looking
Absolutely. It's gorgeous, but the plot is dull as fuck, all of the characters are unlikable, and the whole movie feels claustrophobic. Almost all of it takes place on that one set. Also the ZOOM BACK CAMERA shit at the end took me by surprise, but I couldn't help but feel like it was """inspired""" by a certain other movie that came out the year before.
Tyler Barnes
Honestly it's kind of average. There are a few striking images (picrel), but otherwise I can't remember a thing from it
Austin James
If it made you uncomfortable then don't bother. Watch Žert (The Joke) from the same director though.
Carson Myers
>plotfag
>muh unlikable characters
Holy fucking pleb.
Also, The Holy Mountain's ending is a rip-off of the final scene of A Man Vanishes (1967) by Shohei Imamura
Carter Russell
I mean, she's 13 right? The movie sexualizes the fuck out of her. I felt like I shouldn't be watching it...
David Sanders
This is what happens when normies are allowed to watch /film/s
Late Spring Noriko is the most wholesome
Landon King
I agree that the movie is beautiful to look at. It really truly is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen, definitely the most beautiful to come out of Japan, and that usually goes pretty far with me. I'm a visual guy, but I couldn't force myself to care about the sun god people or land god people. It was incredible to watch, but everything else was bland.
Christopher Price
early Lynch, I can see it. Dancing hawk and Permanent objections are his more 'modernist' films, but my favorite is Killing auntie, you should check it out if you liked Mimica
It's basically a filmed butoh play, not the most representative of Shinoda's work, if you liked how it looks and want a cool story with it watch Under the cherry blossoming trees
Easton Hill
Take the shintopill.
Reclaim your homeland.
Vindicate the kami.
Kick the gaijin out.
Ryan Rodriguez
Yes, she is 13 in the film. In the book she was 17. Bold artistic move from Jireš. Pic is him.
Jace Cox
Why does Yas Forums seem to hate this film? Every time I bring it up, I'm met with tons of backlash. Why is it bad?
Jose Sullivan

Thoughts on the The Passenger...? Kino right
Jaxson Collins
These threads suck because of you little faggy drama kids I want you to die I want to choke you to death fucking faggot
Zachary Jenkins
>Bay
Finally, justice was done.
Mason James
what film?
Ayden Butler
I was not a huge fan. Why did you like it? I love alienation trilogy but Blow Up and The Passenger didn't invoke that sort of feelings as those films. They felt somehow empty, beautifully shot but empty. I will rewatch it though.
Jordan Collins
Haven't seen it, but Passenger (1963) is pretty kino
Nathaniel Hernandez
Not really, Daisies tier
Andrew King
It's a good movie, personally I like the absurdity and dark humor of it, but haterfags and loverfags get on my nerves.
People who hate it are like: "Nooo! Not the sexerino, violencerino and surrealismino!! It's too unorthodox, muh pretentious!!!!!!", and the fanfags are like "lmaooo dude, did you see that loool haha best movie ever lmao frogs conquistadors n blood n shiet so deep lmao"
Connor Edwards
>those granulated poster pictures
holy shit what the fuck are you doing
Truly kino and his best film
>director dies in a motorbike accident during the filming
sad, same for Theo.
Nicholas Turner
Himiko (1974), based as fuck if you ask me
Daisies is better
Caleb Rivera
Some cringe there.
Adam Flores
Himiko (1974)
Robert Scott
>sad, same for Theo
This one still hurts. Him + Toni Servillo. Would have been great.
Gabriel Brooks
I saw Daisies maybe five years ago and I don't remember much, but Valerie seems more whimsical from the few minutes I watched. I remember Daisies having kind of boring cinematography. Isn't it in black and white? I was very high when I saw it. I love colorful films. Valerie was colorful.
I liked the "keep off grass" thing at the end of Daisies though. I thought that was funny, so I can't hate on the film too much.
Jonathan Sanchez
the film is not bad as a standalone, quite overrated, but as a book adaptation it's utter garbage
Isaac Bennett
>those granulated poster pictures
>holy shit what the fuck are you doing
yeah, I tired to use that never ending chart render site and it ended up looking like shit. I'll make it myself when I get the time
it wouldn't be a /film/ list without some cringe
Oliver Fisher
This. I watched it twice, thought it was okay but never really found myself loving it and then it ended and I was like alright, guess I’m trading my criterion copy for something better.
Parker Walker
Always and forever.
Henry Fisher
you'll do anything to avoid watching old movies, wont you?
Owen Brown
It’s about sex trafficking in Eastern Europe
Charles Cook
I've seen plenty of old films. I was just trying to compile a list of modern, American directors
Aiden Hill
Daisies uses different cinematography and several editing techniques.
No, Valerie is better and more imaginative at least. Daisis is just a thot journal.
