/film/

are the classics considered /film/, or do we need a /cig/ - cinema general?

All are welcome since this is the only place where you can talk about actual films on this shitty board.

Contempt

Who is the best French director, Bresson or Renoir?

unironically Godard

Agreed, although you misspelled "litty."

What's the /film/'s take on artists wearing their inspiration on their sleeves

Was thinking about why I didn't like midsommar and anything by pta and I think this is the reason. But there are also artists who proudly show their inspiration, like spike lee or godard, that I love. I guess it comes down to what the work is doing and if it's formally well executed or not. Thots?

If an artist takes inspiration from something but then makes it their own that's perfectly fine, even commendable. If on the other hand an artist just does what other artists do but worse that makes them a hack. I honestly dislike pta for that reason, it's clear he's always trying to make a "great" movie but the pieces never quite fall into place.

>In 1973, Jean-Luc Godard accused Truffaut of making a movie that was a "lie" (Day For Night), and Truffaut replied with a 20-page letter in which he accused Godard of being a radical-chic hypocrite, a man who believed everyone to be "equal" in theory only. "The Ursula Andress of militancy—like Brando—a piece of shit on a pedestal." The two never spoke or saw each other again.
More feuds like this?

Bresson. He also has great interviews and kino arc if you watch them chronologically. The older he gets the more cranky and annoyed he seems with everything. L'Argent finishes this arc. I like the interview where he complains about cinema and then he says he liked James Bond film because of its cinematographic language.
Cringe, not even the best FNW director.

PTA later films feels like his own. His first 3 suffer because of the obvious Altman/Scorsese ripping off. All artists are inspired by other artists though.

Bresson. Duvivier isn’t better than both though.

>Bitter Moon

I just found this film absolutely hilarious because of how over the top the relationship was, highly enjoyable but never found it erotic.

this honestly just depends on if a director's approach/style resonates with you in the first place. because I think if it does resonate with you, you won't try and think about why it doesn't.

*is

PTA's films have no reason to exist, they are confessions of vapid emptiness. He loathes himself, deservedly so. He inspires loathing.

Yes, quite over the top. The actress was hot though.

He even said that he would see it twice in a row if he could. Based Bresson.

Where can I start with Duvivier? I've never heard of him before but I'm interested to check him out. His filmography seems huge though.
