I was a somewhat disappointed by Long Days Journey too. I think naturemorte has overstated the pastiche a little bit, I think the director does have ideas of his own that he’s built on from the previous movie, which I loved, but it feels like a little bit of an immature work, and that’s why the reference bits stand out as pretty :eyeroll: , especially that shot that rips off the Stalker ending. At the same time though, I just love Art house movies, they make me feel OK. I’m pretty down with the long take and the ending... relishing in the power of cinema is almost always my thing. But by far my biggest problem with the movie is that the protagonist is just not compelling, and it’s so.... hetero. The soundtrack and the narration... pretty bad. Still, I like some of the bits of dialogue and thinking about the movie and movies. Also, subtitles disrupt the illusion of 3D in a pretty big way.

Watched Blackhat. By far Michael Mann's worst film. Ridiculous and irredeemable.

I watched my first Hitchcock movies last night, Rear Window and Psycho. I really loved them both, but especially Rear Window. I've always stayed away from movies of that era for some dumb reason and I have a mind to amend that. I remember seeing Vertigo years ago, but have no recollection of it, so I'll be watching that very soon. What other Hitchcock films are essential? Also anything Hitchcock-adjacent in terms of vibe.
Based on that still alone, I will definitely be seeking out The Killing, too.

Shadow of a Doubt (1943), Notorious (1946) and North by Northwest (1959) are three of my favorites. But there's at least a dozen more Hitchcock movies that are also reccomended.
Also: Night of the Hunter (1955), The Pawnbroker (1964), Key Largo (1948), Odd Man Out (1947), Seconds (1966), Rififi (1955), Les Diaboliques & The Wages of Fear (1955 & 1953, Cloutzot is referred to as the French Hitchcock), Touch of Evil (1958)

You can really tell how influential The Killing was on basically every heist movie since.
Or maybe it's not the Ur heist, but there's so much good stuff in it

Dangerous Liaisons (1988) and Gosford Park (2001) - Both perfectly charming movies until they are not. Ultimately, they're enjoyable but thin, both overlong and overreliant exercises in costuming and setting (despite how much I really enjoyed these aspects). I thought Malkovich being a devious pervert for two hours would be enough for me, but sadly it was not.

saw this 20 years ago and tbh it didn't make much of an impression. it holds up really, really well. def my favourite movie of hers. soundtrack goes so hard, the cast is stacked, crazily confident debut. that one guy was also in the phantom menace in the same year? ok. my friend thinks wes anderson should owe this movie some royalties, i'm not sure, but i get it
and i like a movie where the mysterious stranger is 5 people

I like Virgin Suicides waaaay better than anything of Wes Anderson's I've seen but Rushmore came out a year before it. I don't really see that much similarity there, in any case.

they're their own directors with their own styles, she has a subtley and he has a sledgehammer, but imo they work in a similar headspace and i get the comparison, even if it doesn't need to be made at all
it's crazy looking at the other american movies that were released in '99. a lot of them were really good but this was v distinctive

In terms of Hitchcock i'd recommend The Lodger: A Story Of The London Fog (1927), Blackmail (1929), The 39 Steps (1935), Secret Agent (1936), The Lady Vanishes (1938). In terms of 50's stuff Strangers On A Train (1951), and Dial M For Murder (1954) are really good.

Her Smell
The confrontations and verbose monologues felt much better in this ARP as I think someone mentioned before. Bloated and certainly imperfect at times but in the end I didn’t feel that took too much away from the experience. Unless i missed something I found it interesting they never explicitly reveal her early issues are drug and/or mental illness related although you could totally assume either, just didn’t see any on the nose explicit scenes pointing to either. Moss is a force

The Naked Island (1960)- Kaneto Shindo
Amazing film, loved the detail that was shown of the farmers' challenges, and the cinematography was beautiful.

Devil's Doorway (1950)- Anthony Mann
This ruled.

by it's the suspense that gets me » Sun May 19, 2019 2:02 pm



belly (1998)
i had seen this before long ago but jesus christ i could have watched four hours of this. the ending of it is kindof hokey but i mean it straight up feels like an american wong kar wai film starring dmx nas t-boz and method man. what's not to love. i guess people critiqued it for their performances but i mean . . . given the impressionistic/music video style it's working in it makes perfect sense to use people that are used to filming hip hop videos.
we also watched the pre-tetsuo the iron man shorts and me and yyou and everyone we know. the former was uhh interesting as someone who loves shinya tsukumoto films to death. the latter was one of the worst films i've ever seen but we had an absolutte blast watching itt.


oh wait, we also watche dkony 2012. it's amazing how well it captures the feeling of going to a state college in the early 2010s. very uneasy feeling.
