R.I.P. inconnu 10/06/15 (Tue) 15:35:12 No.5886 [Reply]

Chantal Akerman has passed away. I've only seen News from Home and Hotel Monterey but I appreciated her unique style, even if it required patience.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/07/arts/chantal-akerman-belgian-filmmaker-dies-65.html

http://blogs.indiewire.com/criticwire/chantal-akerman-pioneer-of-feminist-and-structuralist-film-is-dead-at-65-20151006

What's interesting about her personality is how she rejected the title of feminist film maker even though everyone wanted to put her in that box. Most obits you'll read today are quick to include that label in their descriptions of her. I remember hearing that she did not like doing "women's film festivals" and preferred regular festivals instead.

Guess the Film Still inconnu 09/25/15 (Fri) 10:55:38 No.5760 [Reply]

So I'm in this fb group that posts film stills and the lets people guess what it's from. I thought this would be a fun thing to start on this board.

Rules:

- Film stills in this situation are excerpts DIRECTLY from the movie. No production stills, no behind the scenes footage, NO CROPPING (ratio is important) and no posters or similar material.

- GIFs are encouraged, OC GIFs even more.

- Please post films only. No series, music videos or youtube stuffs.

- Of course you can google but that takes the fun out of it so please don't.

- Hints can be given in any form. Extra stills, music, release date etc.

- Please try to wait with posting a new still until the previous one is guessed. Let's do one at a time to keep it organised.

- When you post a still, keep track of it and let us know when it had been guessed. I suggest we post imdb links along with the 'you guessed right!' post so it is easy to find out wether a still has been guessed right or not.

- Please link correctly and add 'Hint' to your post when you post a hint.

Tips:

1. Make your own stills in VLC or anything similar, they have a direct screenshot option in VLC so you don't have to printsceen your movies, printscreening results in worse quality most of the time. This also prevents reverse image searching and stuff.

2. It's a lot of fun to post well known movies with unrecognizable stills.

3. Watch out for filenames!

I guess that's it. I suggest harder stills than the one I'm posting now but let's start off easy.

Yeah, wanted to delay the subtitle start but while doing it i wrote the Live Wire thing and well i just decided to write what i saw with Taffin

Might finish it later, i liked to see irish films having a distinctive style overall, seen it with Jim Sheridan and some others like The Informant. Brits have something similar but with the urban decay of their cities and the grey skies

And a relief to see the scene complete, but i do remember he had a Guiness six-pack near him

That's a great new release. I believe there was no camera movement for 20+ minutes. I liked that. Stationary camera emphasizes image composition, and it's a throwback to classic film making. A lot of shots were taken from a distance which made the viewer detached from the situation. It often made court seem more inconsequential.

I wonder how India evolved to be a country of petty authoritarianism. Indians I've met were pretty laid back. I watched a Bollywood movie with a friend and he scoffed in disgust when I asked him about the censor certificate.

Court was much different from Bollywood of course, and sometimes it seemed to be jabbing at that aspect of their culture. The more I think about it, the more I want to read Indian reaction to this film.

Played it in my cytu.be stream (khantube) trying to relive the nostalgia of 8chan from a year ago.

I liked the novel, but the storyline is a bit too convoluted to fit in a movie. There's a lot of stuff going on in the 3 hours, and someone who didn't read the novels will get confused what's going on easily. Also, the romance plot between Jan and Helen (which is what adds another dimension to the novel) is condensed a lot, while it is still there, someone who hasn't read the books won't notice it's importance to the plot as the movie spends too much time on presenting the Poles and Ukrainians before the final battle.

The setting (Ukraine during the rebellion of 1648) is very well presented though, costumography is most of the time very good (though on moments the moustaches look a bit silly), and acting isn't bad either. It's obvious that Poles really put some effort into this movie. Also unlike too many western movies where you maybe hear the "bad guys" speaking another language to each other, you actually hear characters speak different languages, besides Polish and Ukrainian the Crimeans speak (modern) Turkish.

Overall, the movie is a good adaptation of a great historical fiction novel, but it isn't anything special. If it wasn't for the fact that it's an adaptation of a novel of great importance, and the really good setting immersion, it would be just another movie with a historical setting. If you are here for the story, read the novels.

>Sicario

That was really really good, tense and dark, as everyone else have said yes, the plot is fairly simple, but again as everyone else have said, the talent of the people working on the movie made it really enoyable for me.

>The Wind Rises

Definitely one of the best animation movies i've seen, perhaps it's my huge faggotry, but that film made me cry like a bitch, deeply moving on all levels.

My only gripe is the animation, i can't help to compare the film to Shinkai's work, so i see ways the film could've looked better, mouth movements and synchronisation could've been better too.

That's pretty minor though, go watch it.

I'm probably the last person to see this 80s nostalgiasploitation but it was great fun. I appreciate the vision and determination needed to create a widely successful first-time project.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bS5P_LAqiVg

To nitpick a couple aspects, the hypermasculine female characters seemed better suited for [Current Year] than any time in the 80s. One kickass chick was a roided-out bodybuilder. The other was a Xena knockoff with a massive black ~~cock~~ machine gun. These girls were the opposite of adorable 80s qt characters, so they undercut the effectiveness of the retro homage.

Secondly the use of Hitler as a villain was hacky and out of place. Danger 5 already ran the joke into the ground using the same anachronistic villain in a 60s spy spoof. There's fertile ground to write characters inspired by the crazy villains of 80s action and 60s spy movies, so why not try that? Missed opportunity.

Dust (Pyl') is essential. It might be the most cheaply made movie among all those mentioned on this board, but its raw presentation of the topic is unparalleled. Made by a tiny team of counter-culture activists around 2001, featuring unprofessional actors and a couple of big names, a cult movie in some circles.

I've been reading Kenneth Anger's infamous book on the lurid history of Hollywood. What do people here think of it?

I don't know Anger's own biography. But I'm surprised an experimental filmmaker would be so obsessed by celebrity culture. Granted he's gay...

As for the book itself, it's more a collection of popular folklore than a rigorous investigation of facts. Fresh-faced starlets are said to live dark private lives of drugs, sex, and death. Often the stories do not ring true, but IMHO they still resonate because of peoples' desire to project cinematic fantasy into reality.

Anyway here's a couple links if you want to take a look. The book is pretty cheap on Amazon too.

here's a weird one -

> Grahame's fourth and final marriage was to actor Anthony "Tony" Ray, the son of her second husband Nicholas Ray and his first wife Jean Evans; Anthony Ray was her former stepson. Their relationship reportedly began when Tony Ray was 13 years old and Grahame was still married to his father (which effectively ended the marriage when Nicholas Ray caught the two in bed together).

yeah malick has a fixation with water, but i think its most a fixation with nature itself. He narrates his films as some bbc documentary would narrate some animal shit you know?

Its a bit sterile-mooded, but its precisely in that way he can get his point across.

the music is gr8 too

Yes.

BUT the character was unwilling or unable to make changes so it became harder for me to care as the film progressed. The loops of living out Vogue editorials and Dos Equis commercials end where they began. (And oddly enough the last spoken word in the film is "BEGIN".) A little character evolution (in any direction really) would have helped.

I probably missed some subtext because I didn't use subtitles, and a lot of the voiceover is quietly mumbled in the background.

>the character was unwilling or unable to make changes so it became harder for me to care as the film progressed.

After watching the film for a second time this week, I disagree. He did made a progress in the character, I think it can be seem in the last scene on the film.

The film starts with Bale wandering in the dessert, but ends in him in a car trough the desert road, and I think that was meant as a way to say that he "found the way" "got his path str8" and so on.

I used subtitles and the opposite happened to me, the translation at the the end says "Echa un Vistazo" which translates to "Take a look". How and why did they translate that from Begin idk but the sond time I payed more attention to the audio and did hear this time Begin at the end. Curious.

But I think this was the film in which Malick's voiceover style at probably its best. The characters almost never really talked on screen, as saying that they didnt had the balls to say what they really mean or that they were speaking "trough their souls" instead trough their mouths.

I appreciate that Malick went berzek on this film and forgot all his craziness and just freeballed the shit out of it. Apparently there was no script, no history, no nothing. Malikck throwed a bunch of people together and just rolled the camara on to see what would happen.

Unlike with his previews films there was not a set of specification for screening, just "play it loud"

And I bet watching this with a surround sound system would sound amazing, the sounds on the cars passing by, the helicopter flying above, it was asmr-ish

man, I think i liked this one more than Thin Red Line tbh, maybe its just a bait from Malick to catch all the pretentious hipsters but he sure caught me.

Just saw this today and loved it, it might be my favorite of all his films. I have too many thoughts to contain and organize into a post so I'll probably write a blog or something about it and maybe link to it here if anyone cares. But I would encourage anyone who is on the fence to go and see it, it deserves to be seen on a big screen

They made the old man scale down a bunch of stairs to accept the award for his 57th best musical composition. I'm glad he didn't break a hip. I like this theme but the rest of the album isn't too special. Needs more whistling and a tuned-down guitar.

ITT: Request certain premises, concepts and etc. that you'd like to see in a film, and others will suggest films fitting, or similar to, those ideas.

I'd like to see more Muay Thai related film, but stuff that's not just about the fighting; With actual drama going on, with the fights being sort of a glue holding it together. OGF was the closest to this I found, but I wish there was more fighting throughout, not necessarily just for the sake of having an action scene, but to pose a setting in which further exposition could be presented and to make a cohesive pattern out of the few fight scenes that are actually there, so they don't feel so sudden.

Most rips of the new bluray have the English dub only. Stupid scene rippers.

An older rip has Italian audio but it's barely better than VHS image quality.

Got the older rip, decent giallo, the good thing about it was the atmosphere, created by that location in the old, partially ruined theatre, I've come to enjoy things like nonsensical plot, gratuitous nudity and poor dubbing/acting of those movies, it's all part of their charm.

But as it turns out that other one The Clown at Midnight was the one I was looking for. I have no idea why was it in Italian when I saw it as a boy, since it's Canadian. The poor image quality of my TV probably lead me to believe than it was older than it actually was. But I watched bits and pieces, and it looked so beyond terrible that my urge to rewatch it has disappeared completely. Thanks man.

That makes me wonder - has there been serious fighting films based on the strip mall martial arts that they teach to 8 year olds? I don't know much about the different fighting styles but I've never heard of a Tae Kwon Do action movie (for example). I get the feeling that it's not as "tough" or complicated as other techniques?

Film Club #7 - Guizi lai le AKA Devils on the Doorstep (Wen Jiang, 2000) inconnu 12/14/14 (Sun) 21:41:52 No.2684 [Reply]

This month Film Club features a pair of films set during the winter holidays. First up is this Chinese wartime black comedy, which won the Cannes Grand Prize of the Jury in 2000.

> This second feature by actor-turned-director Jiang Wen—set in the shadow of the Great Wall during the final months of the Japanese occupation—keeps up a pummeling tempo and bawdy, throttling energy that prompted the disapproving Beijing Film Bureau to remark, "In general, the style of the film is vulgar." Indeed, this is a Chinese period piece more inclined to burn barns than raise red lanterns. Scored to farmyard squawks and a marching band, the movie barrels from frisky Ealing horseplay to cackling Kusturica farce. ~~ Dennis Lim, The Village Voice

> With its vertiginous black-and-white cinematography, narrative leaps and starts, twisty story and large pool of characters, Devils on the Doorstep, […] is not an easy movie. But in its dry and forceful way, it delivers the same message as Jiri Menzel's Closely Watched Trains and Danis Tanovic's No Man's Land. While acknowledging that war is hell, it goes further to suggest it is ludicrous. ~~ Stephen Holden, New York Times

Ah, okay. I read that China's gov't prefers war movies where Japanese are portrayed as completely deranged monsters instead. That's part of the reason it was banned.

What are some other movies you like about Imperial Japan?

It's interesting to talk about this film now since China had a massive commemoration for the 70th anniversary of the end of the war last week. This event did not get much news coverage at all over here.
