Nymphomaniac (2013) by Lars Von Trier

Im looking forward to watching this one tonight. I loved Antichrist, Breaking the Waves and The Idiots. Hopefully its a lot better than Melancholia.

Combining silent Soviet cinema with anime was a good idea, so let's continue with Mother and Paprika!

Started watching Forced Entry, but found out it's just a sadistic porn lasting 2 hours. I couldn't last that long, so I turned it off after few minutes and doubt I will ever watch it in its entirety. God, reading the sentences above seem like they have ambiguous meaning. I just wasn't in a mood for brutal porn, not that I couldn't last, like last, like... whatever.

35 Shots of Rum (2008) by Claire Denis

As far as i remember this is a kind of adaptation of an Ozu film (I think Late Spring, but im not sure). It should be interesting to see Denis doing an Ozu film. As always with her my expectation are pretty high.

Hadewijch (2009) by Bruno Dumont

I've picked up some more Dumont films and i plan on watching the rest of his filmography this week. This is my fifth Dumont film and the ones before have all been really good. Definitely one of my favorite filmmakers from France making films today.

Cold Water (1994) by Olivier Assayas

This one has been regarded as Olivier Assayas best film by several people, so naturally i am quite excited. Both Summer Hours and Something in the Air were good solid films.

Interestingly, in terms of films the ones considered to be "intellectual" are usually very simple poetic films that are very slow paced (such as Days of Heaven). Modern action movies such as the Bourne films, are very fast paced and it's even hard to follow the film's action scenes without pausing'en, the quantity of information they deliver per second is much higher than in art films.

While so called intelligence tests measure your capacity for reasoning given a restricted time period. By that measure, action films are smart and art films are dumb.

About Days of Heaven, it's like other Malick's films: slow, poetic, beautiful and they all leave me cold, that's mainly because Malick's films keep their emotional distance from the characters.

I don't agree.

Intellectual films offer certain insights about a subject in interesting and innovative ways and make you think about its statements, issues and ideas long after the film is over.

The pace and the true intellectual depth of a film have absolutely NOTHING to do with eachother, in my opinion.

Someone who can solve 100 simple calculations in 1 minute is not smarter than someone who can solve a difficult mathematical issue in 10 years.

http://movieposters.2038.net/p/Atalante,L'.jpg

L'atalante (1934) by Jean Vigo

I have only seen Ŕ propos de Nice from 1930 by Jean Vigo, which was a great city-life documentary about nice. Im looking forward to seeing L'atalante which is way up high on the Sight and Sound top 250 from 2012.


http://movieposters.2038.net/p/Vivre-Sa-Vie_2.jpg

Vivre Sa Vie (1962) by Jean-Luc Godard

Another sixties Godard with his wife Anna Karina. Godard was on fire in the sixties and im looking forward to seeing another gem by this great director.

We have finished watching the Godard and the Tarkovsky movies, but we have some more movies planned for this evening.

I have to say that it is intoxicating to watch Godard's sixties movies. They are so vibrant and fresh and the way he toys with the film medium makes me all giggly inside. I think that everybody should at least watch one or two of his movies from that period. If they don't like the subject matter people should at least be appreciative of his style or his impact on the story of film.

Solaris was an extraordinary experience and what i would say in Danish is that he has the highest "bundniveau" of any director in the history of film. Basically that he is the most consistent director ever, even his worst movie is ridiculously good. Anyway at least i can say that im a Godard and Tarkovsky fanboy :D

I myself have felt more toward the feeling that I might like one of his movies after seeing them once, but ask me a day or two later and the feeling goes away. For me they do not linger or stick around.

What was your opinion the first time around Daniel? It'll be interesting to see if you prefer the first or second because it seems to split opinion. For me it was the first but it doesn't really matter because i love both, i'd even say i loved the 3rd but it was much more flawed than the original two.

And Orson Welles only liked filmmakers whom he thought treated their actors with the utmost respect. Filmmakers who are also such strong auteurs and personalities are hard to take at their word. I think that generally our tastes are less strict than these types of filmmakers because they have a very specific way that they've learned to see the medium. I adore Tarkovsky but have far less appreciation for Bergman than he does; I love Welles and Antonioni. Godard is a completely different type of filmmaker than Bergman, we can appreciate both, just Gordard, or neither ;)

Well you must recognize that their production company, who had Pulp Fiction as their first release, was named after Band of Outsiders...

Also some critics actually compare Godard and Tarantino due to their love for B-movies, which they reuse / recycle and make into a new kind of movie.

But yeah its not like im comparing Band of Outsiders with Pulp Fiction like Kill Bill is a remake of Lady Snowblood.

At least you can say that Tarantino acknowledges the work of Jean-Luc Godard ;)

He never mentioned Godard's early 60s films anywhere. What makes you so sure he was referring to that particular period?

bluedeed
03-25-14, 01:26 PM
Because Godard's films beyond the 60s haven't gotten much if any release in the US, many are without US DVD releases, still so he would most likely not have access to them until fairly recently, and also because what he normally describes as his view of Godard is typical of that period, in line with the overall French New Wave rather than his very different films (and videos) of the 70s onward.
