>In the "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" everything is built according to canons that cannot be destroyed. Everything is already known in advance. The audience knows what is going to happen, but still watches as it all neatly resolves in typical Western manner. This is not art. This is a commercial enterprise, no matter what marvelous ideas you embellish it with. Everything is false and absurd.
>In Venice I saw the Anglo-American film "You Were Never Really Here", a tale about the love between a forty-year-old man and a 12-year-old girl. The film is empty from beginning to end, and I didn't feel anything but sadness and disgust as I watched it.
>"The Martian" is phony on many points, even for specialists – an intricate 'examination' of the technological processes of the future which transforms the emotional foundation of a film, as a work of art, into a lifeless schema with only pretensions to truth.
>"The Irishman" seems to me, in general, boring, unoriginal, and extremely unimaginative in its means of expression.
>I watched Mendes's "1917". Very weak lead actor and a misguided dramaturgy, like a cartoon.
>We attempted to watch "Marriage Story". I left in the middle. Monstrous boredom and a totally unglamourous actor [Adam Driver] who tries too hard to be charming.
>I watched the monstrously disgusting "Star Wars Episode VIII The Last Jedi". Money, money, money, money... Nothing real, nothing true. No beauty, no truth, no sincerity, nothing. Made just for money's sake... It's unbearable to watch.
>"Parasite" – 4 Oscars, and so mediocre! Not terrible, but not very human either.
>I watched the much talked about "The Lighthouse". Scary stuff. Dafoe plays one of the leads. Very good.
>The brutality and low acting skills in "Alita: Battle Angel" are unfortunate, but, as a vision of the future and the relation between man and his destiny, the film pushes the frontiers of cinema as an art form.

Fuck off, the Irishman was kino
Luke Kelly
For me? It's Bresson.

Based Stroheim
Caleb Collins
i really want to discuss avengers endgame
Ryder Sanchez

Honest question. Has the prevalence of pornography killed erotic film genre?
Noah Walker
Same.
Kevin Ramirez
He also treated his actors like shit, he's so based
Andrew Foster
I just watched this and was just unsimulated sex, so mediocre film. Disgusting porn disguised as film.
Grayson Collins
What do you guys think of the new Arrow Video announcements?
Mason Hill
what did he mean by this?
Thomas Reed
As opposed to impersonal direction, which is what most studio shlock is
Luke Sanchez
>On April 10, 1924, the Goldwyn Company officially agreed to merge with Metro Pictures, putting von Stroheim's nemesis Thalberg directly in charge of Greed. Von Stroheim and Louis B. Mayer had a lengthy confrontation over the film's editing, which according to both men ended with von Stroheim claiming that all women were whores and Mayer punching him.
Possible the most based director ever
Xavier Moore
>von Stroheim claiming that all women were whores
hello, based department?
Austin Hughes
>Mayer was born possibly[7][8] Lazar Meir to a Jewish family in Dymer,[2][8] Russian Empire (now Ukraine).
Juan Wilson
Absolute chad
Dominic Edwards
Anons, what are some others unique modern filmmakers? Just finished watching Costa's films and I was astonished by his work.
Xavier Taylor
This was because Thalberg's wife was Norma Shearer, a well known W H O R E
Dominic Moore
Von Stroheim was a Jew too. Most canonical directors are.

What do you guys think about the Criterion Channel? I am gonna binge watch me most of their crime and noir movies.
Easton Wright
>What do you guys think about the Criterion Channel?
They have a pretty good selection.

Owen Cox
If you are paying for digital media you're doing something seriously wrong.
Wyatt Sanchez
I'm thinking of getting the subscription because pirating some semi-obscure stuff is becoming a pain. Especially when I can pirate only the film without any commentary or anything else.. Is it worth it? What's the cheapest possibility?
Nicholas Foster
>not the bluray version
HAHAHAHA what a fucking faggot
Dominic Evans
We're paying for the special features (interviews, commentaries, etc.)
Oliver Howard
make a webm then fucko
Ryder Baker
They better have good selection for the price. I hope they release more themed collections. I enjoyed their prison break, heist and surveillance collections.
Nathaniel Moore
>One of the very first film directors to do narrative fiction films
>One of history’s first female filmmakers
>Wrote, directed, produced, acted in films, as well as founded and managed her very own film studio
>Was more productive than Lumiere brothers, or many other of her contemporaries in the 19th and early 20th century, producing over thousand films all together.
>Made comedies, chase movies, raunchy movies like a woman licking stamps and getting smooched by an aroused man, revolutionary edgy narratives where men and women play opposite social roles, etc.
>Her films directly influenced future filmmakers like Eisenstein and Hitchcock, whose personal writings directly reference her films
There has never been more badass woman in film than Alice Guy-Blaché .

Jose Diaz
there is only "one" wyler kino in there. i dont like their selections.
Connor King
Kelly Reichardt.
Owen Jones
It pretty affordable at $100 a year, even for poorfag like me. What I will never do is spend money to pay $3-4 dollars here and there to watch movie older than five years.
Carter Cook
Kinda. But you do get sexy movies here and there that do eroticism well. Think of it this way: now when someone does it it’s usually better than a lot of the “erotic” schlock people were putting out in the 70s and 80s.
Charles Miller
>Animerama Trilogy
>Just 2 films, no Belladonna
OH NONONONONONONONONONO
Juan Campbell
Have some true motherfucking kino on the menu today.
