Thoughts?

To even start on a chart like this, first we would need to compile all the important film movements. I found this, but I'm sure there are some that wouldn't need to be included
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Movements_in_cinema

Some, from time to time
Yourself?

My 6 favorite directors:
1. Sergio Leone
2. Akira Kurosawa
3. Alejandro Jodorowsky

6. Masaki Kobayashi

Am I on a good way, /film/?

What about his trilogy?

not absolutely terrible

not seen

I bought a region free dvd player just to watch Celine and Julie Go Boating and it was delightful, creative, and surprisingly ambitious. Emphatically recommended.

1) based, best western director and one of the best from Italy
2) notable mostly for the expressive visual style and Mifune, has plenty of good films but when it comes to drama his Japanese Golden Age contemporaries are much better
3) a couple of solid films, kind of a throwaway meme director otherwise
4) very good at what he does, but not that revolutionary in the context of shomingeki films. Still very reliable
5) A few strong films and a lot of meh normie stuff, overpraised by boomers
6) One of those directors whose early and late films are useless, but the middle is very strong and while I wouldn't put him that high considering other jidaigeki/chanbara directors who tread similar grounds, Harakiri for example is stellar and THC trilogy is quite good. Black River and The Inheritance are two very underrated contemporary films

i tried watching his last film (Come And Go) but couldn't finish it
There was close to zero direction, most of it was competent but uninteresting shots, but what really got on my nerves was the fact that instead of dialogue characters were spewing out metaphor on metaphor on metaphor. I really hate when directors try incredibly hard to put as much as possible metaphors in their films with those metaphors being ends in itselves , but this was worse than anything, they were literally saying them out loud. The scene where he describes some kind of blowjob was more disgusting than sex scenes in Battle In Heaven. And unlike Battle In Heaven the film is overall lacked any sort of talent.
I really hope this film is just a spawn of dementia mixed with old-age ego and sexual complexes, because if all of his films are similar to this Monteiro might become one of my most hated directors.

it's ok, but watch more films

I watches 49xx.
What went wrong? Am I a brainlet?

Why though? There are torrents of the bluray version of the film.
What did you like about it? I started watching it yesterday. I had to stop because i was too tired. So far i watched like 80 minutes, i will finish today. It's okay so far. Nothing great.

not literally "more" but like more types of films, more films from different countries
If you did then maybe it's just your taste. It really is not bad, just "ok".

I just liked the free floating atmosphere and childish antics of the main characters. It's silly and irreverent in a way that's very endearing.

Well then its just my taste. Watched movies from all over the world.

It reminded me of Daisies, so far at least.

I unironically wonder what Mendel meant by having the whimsical score play over the scene of Nazis having an orgy with the Czech women on the train. Clearly it has to be some kind of contrast. But I’m not sure what he was going for.

Menzel*

It's been a while since I've seen it, but IIRC the joke is that the film views Czechs as spineless conformists who let their trains (cocks) be watched (repressed) by Nazi forces. The Czechs are such eternal cucks that they let Nazis have their women too

Interesting theory actually, but then how exactly does the MCs premature ejaculation relate to the Nazi repression.

if wes anderson had his way he would have hot air balloons, skywriters, and hangliders in the background in a shot like this.

The film equates sexual power with political power. He comes from a family of malingerers and is a lazy kid living among conformists, which means he can't even cum properly without his "train" being "watched". Once he acquires this freedom, he's ill-equipped to deal with it and so the train self-destructs.

What a coincidence, I just saw this film last night. This is the last late period Ozu film I had yet to see and I was surprised. It’s definitely the most violent Ozu film so far, even though the two women kind of deserved it. How is a hen in the wind? Anyone know if it’s worth watching.

Damn that’s a solid argument, I really didn’t pick up on any of that when I saw it, can’t wait to rewatch it some day.

He's based.

sometimes the curtains are just blue

A Hen in the Wind is quite good, one of the thematically darkest Ozus.

Perhaps. My first reading of the film was that is was a parallel to the Soviet occupation, which is obvious, but I was more concerned about finding the political and social dovetails

Have any films worth watching come out this year?

Tsai's Days

There's obviously stuff about sexual repression, but it's played for jokes. It's a comedy with sexual jokes. But it's not the "theme" of the film. It's mostly about reimagining the idea of WWII film and paralleling very light tone of the film with a very grim ending. Sexual repression is also not a metaphor for political power, it's just a thing that happened. Slavs were much less sexually free as nazis, it's pretty much a fact.

What does /film/ think of Piero Scaruffi? He's a meme on Yas Forums but I've never seen him mentioned on this board even though he rates film too.

Days
DAU. Natasha and DAU. Degeneration (both of those will come out on the interener this month, and they will slowly release other stuff from the project too)
Ferarra's Siberia might be worth a watch, but I heard it's not very good
Apichatpong might release Memoria this year, might not
Cristi Puiu has shown his new film Malmkrog this Berlinale, but idk when it will be possible to watch it

Anything else?

Bad Boys for Life

I thought his film reviews were just a side thing, but he seems to actually take those really seriously too

The main theme of the film is attacking the predominant Czech mentality, which is why the films doesn't mock Nazis as much as Czechs.
>Slavs were much less sexually free as nazis, it's pretty much a fact.
I don't know what this has to do with anything. The film is a living illustration of the cuck meme. The invading power also has more sexual power and can cuck the natives. Why do you think the protagonist is impotent?

Hope they have subs if they come out this month

I viewed those ideas more of a ground for jokes than the main idea. Sexual repression is not a "metaphor" it's what nazis did make use of in real life after occupation. It's a thing that happened not a narrative point that is symbolic of something, it's literal.
Maybe I'm missing the fact that it's the main idea because I'm of a emotional formalist. I explained it here . Instead of logically decrypting metaphors and finding ideas this way, I relate themes drawn from emotional tone of the film, emotion that certain scenes, images radiate to how the film is made, it's structure, it's use (or lack of) certain tropes.

Thanks for the recs. I've never heard of the DAU movies. Do I need to watch Dau before Natasha and Degeneration?

>I relate themes drawn from emotional tone of the film, emotion that certain scenes, images radiate to how the film is made, it's structure, it's use (or lack of) certain tropes.
Well yea, I do so as well. I guess we just came to different conclusions

holy CRINGE

Maybe the end would redeem it.
Where to start with him?

Well, it's the /cringe/ general after all

I meant beside other Fellini works.

DAU is a project made by a Russian film director Ilya Khrzhanovsky. It started as a biopic about soviet scientist Lev LanDAU, but spiraled into something else. Basically, it's an art-project somewhat similar to a reality show. They've built a huge set of a researsh fascility "The Institute" in which people lived for number of years (not every actor, some came in for just one or two shootings but didn't stay to live here). Sometimes they shot unscripted events, sometimes scripted. At the end, they had 700 hours of footage on their hands which will now be fully edited into several films and series.
DAU. Natasha and DAU. Degeneracy are the first two films from this project.
