Just because capitalism was successful as an economic model does not mean that there was a universal acknowledgment of that fact or that speaking against it constituted it something groundbreaking as you originally claimed. People, and the intellectual class especially, had been arguing against capitalism for a hundred years and communism had risen in direct opposition against it. Further if you look at the world in the 60s/70s, communism it was in no way obvious to people then that capitalism would emerge as the the dominant economic system in the world. The Soviet Union was seen as the equal of the United States, China, the world's most populous country then and now, was communist and you had useful idiots like Goddard and others who saw Maoism as the next great thing. And then theres Cuba, Vietnam, and Cambodia and a couple countries in Africa. And again the situation in Western Europe itself was hardly stable when the 60 and 70s youth counter culture was anti-capitalist in a lot of aspects and you had May 68 in France for example. And knowing all this in what way is Pasolinis anti-capitalism novel or noteworthy?

no one in this entire board has seen damnation

Why

It's a masterpiece. Nearly every shot is inch perfect and it has the best Mihaly Vig score.

I did. I'm sure others have seen it too.
What was it about though? Like what did they main character do? I have seen it a while ago but i was really confused about what happened.

daily reminder that tarkovsky is a hack

this but bergman

The main character Karrer is a depressed barfly stuck in a rut. He has an affair with a married torch singer who wants to escape the shithole town for a brighter future and her career but Karrer wants her to stay in the "crab bucket" with him. The bartender offers him a smuggling job which he transfers to her husband. He then knicks the husband to cops and goes to dwell in a junkyard.

Not until mods ban this piece of shit general will I know peace.

Get this, right? These “people” spend all their time watching obscure films and logging them on letterboxd after they've watched them (sometimes before, if they're cheating). They don't make films themselves; they don't even review them most of the time, They simply "watch films." That's their claim to fame. Knowing this is an inherently talentless exercise, they then create “arthouse” threads, discord severs and other such communities, comprised of three or four pseuds all jerking one another off, where they then proceed to shit on others for not having seen as many films - or for not having seen the "right" films. Again, zero real analysis going on here - it's all about the quantity and the age of the films watched. You could be a total mouth breather, but so long as you have hundreds of films logged on letterboxd prior to the sixties, and enough of them are in a foreign language, you get to feel like a big boy. It is beyond pathetic.

Thanks.

If I see that fucking movie mentioned one more fucking time...

The only thing I didn't like about this movie was they weird decision to make Bogart a giant and Bacall so tiny.

Based.

I will post it in the next thread too, just for you friend.

I think the film is about human failings and inability to rise up from the shitty surroundings, basically the "crabs in the bucket" scenario. But Tarr doesn't cast judgment on Karrer, it's not a moralistic film.

Any genuine toughts on directors like Bergmann and Bèla Tarr? I wanna hear your honest opinions about them.

Yeah, that was one of the weirdest Hollywood tropes. Kind of like how they decapitated the actresses for The Ladies Man

Yeah, LotM is weirdly slow paced to the extent it drags really hard. I really liked it the first time I saw it and then I saw King Hu's other films and rewatched LotM expecting to really fall in love with it but it ended up being way too unevenly placed.

I think Legend of the Mountain is fantastic, but his other films are more straightforward wuxia films and have characters I really like. I actually might like Legend of the Mountain more then Dragon Inn but honestly all his films are really fun and a journey so its hard to rank.

I will rewatch it soon. Shame that there is no bluray.

imagine assuming something about someone you've never met and then continuing to ramble on about your predetermined and predefined misconceptions of said people

Both are among the best directors ever

i'm still better than you faggot

Tarr has better camerawork but Bergman has better dialogue and sometimes imagery
Thematically different directors tho

It's a pasta

Only use for sneed posters is this thread.

>Thematically different directors tho
Yeah, I know but since their fanbase is mostly pretentious guys who also listen to indie music I wanted to hear what you guys tought of them.

One of the most iconic scenes in movie history

Yas Forums here, is this a fixed general like /meal/ on mu or is it something that people do once in a while? Also, what are some essential arthouse movies to get started?

Sauce for a pleb?

Huge spoiler

Read the filename

do you even realize how fucking reddit you sound?

>Sauce for a pleb?
Le trou (1960), the last film by Jacques Becker

Frances Ha (2012), though not strictly arthouse.

Saw it yesterday, left a good impression on me. Oddly positive take on the aimless young adults of today, with no real prospects to realize their dreams (if they have any), and are relegated to positions abhorred.
If I'm frank, I don't think I could get along with any of the people in the film, this metropolitan hipster culture just reeks of pretension and decadence, but the way it's portrayed is very realistic in my mind.
I think it has a positive message though, this stagnation many adults fall into, wanting to just hang out with friends till the end of time, party and fuck, never growing up essentially. It aptly parallels the life many young men lead, holding on to their childhood and not wanting to confront the responsibilities world has for them.
Good film, a semi-autobiographical story of Greta I think.

Thanks

Well how am I supposed to express that sentiment then. Do I just say "nigger" at the end of the sentence or what

Well that was fucking shit. Can't wait to watch the other 700 hours of footage they've shot.

Hate this. The main character is an annoying cunt.
