mod update Feb 24The next pair of Film Club selections come from a member who found our previous pair of featured films to be significantly lacking. He introduces his first selection as follows:
> Slow paced and aesthetically inspired by the paintings of the old masters, Historia de la meva mort talks about the transition between the age of enlightenment into romanticism though the extraordinary duo of characters of Giacomo Casanova and Count Dracula.
> No one else working today makes movies remotely like Serra, a cerebral oddball and improbable master of cinematic antiquity. Serra sets in motion contrasting ideas about pleasure and desire, alternating between winding philosophical dialogue and wordless passages of savage beauty. ~~ Dennis Lim, Los Angeles Timeshttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt3102458/http://sensesofcinema.com/2013/feature-articles/everything-is-dead-but-the-motor-still-turns-an-interview-with-albert-serra/A couple quick notes about recent changes to 8chan – ads have been enabled while auto-loading gifs have been disabled. However, it's possible to undo both changes if you wish. To remove ads, try adding the NoScript and AdBlock browser add-ons in combination with this bit of CSS code:
>>>/operate/2313 To re-animate gifs (which I
highly recommend), add this code to your User JS panel:
>>>/operate/2765Use the Options panel (top right corner) to add this custom CSS and JS code.
