I just saw Marketa Lazarová. I think I got filtered. Can someone explain why /film/ loves this so much?

I fell asleep the first time I tried watching it. The second time I thought it dragged on without end. I usually like Middle Ages movies too. Maybe it’s just not for us

La Roue
Fantômas
Dr. Mabuse, The Gambler
Mysteries of Lisbon
A Brighter Summer Day
Gone with the Wind
The Woman Who Left
Woodstock
Ben-Hur
Eros + Massacre
World on a Wire
Seven Samurai
Andrei Rublev
Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages
The Falls
Kwaidan

It has great mise-en-scene, great music, amazing extreme wide-shots.
It is pure cinema from a technical and artistic standpoint, simple as.

who is top right

Marketa Lazarova was great but the above can be also be said about Spielberg

Ingmar Bergman, faggot.

Not really.
Only lowbrow eunuches will use such terms to praise Spielberg.
Seeing how Marketá filters too many plebs, I doubt it is accessible to everyone.

The way I meant that was, Spielberg is shit but he also uses those tools pretty well, and that he should maybe describe it differently

Here are a few of my favorites that nobody has mentioned yet
Andrei Rublev
Fanny and Alexander
A Brighter Summer Day
and Seven Samurai of course

I mentioned 3/4 of those

apocalypse now (final cut)
king kong (2005)
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world

Gone With The Wind
The Return of the King
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.
Off the top of my head. Everyone else has listed the others I agree with.

Which one would the Pasolini biopic be?

How is everyone doing? I've got my mango tea & a few unpeeled kiwi I plan on eating as is. I've seen all of Lopushansky now. Rol was the last one of him I hadn't seen. A film about an actor who acts a real role and takes that to the utmost limits, asking how far is one really ready to go in pursuit of professional excellence? The topstratum of the film deals with the aforementioned subject, but as it's all laid there bare quite early on, you can't help but notice that there is something much more going on. Not just artistic integrity, but a passion to dissolve your persona and pour it into another being. It felt as if the actor was running away from himself, he wanted to become someone else as his own self had turned out repulsive. He has hordes of fans lauding his talent and achievements, his very being built up until that point, is beholden to the people he exposes himself to. His own wife (interestingly enough, a Finnish woman) doesn't respect him or the depths of his emotional investment in the craft of acting. What constitutes as a ritualistic preparation for the rebirth of his self by throwing away the hollow shell, his wife sees that as the ramblings of a sick person on the verge of a psychosis.
Though the film states that he is donning the persona of the late revolutionary leader, it feels as if he really isn't. A mask is a mask, putting one in front of another doesn't really make it a transition when nothing changes holistically. The film is, in my mind, comparable to a person moving away from their home and starting a new life, wanting to begin anew. Perhaps depression, the feeling of spiritual congestion, a social chokehold stopping you from being you, all these push a man to seek a new life to rejuvenate that morose soul. To live it vicariously through another person is one way to go about it. For an actor, it kills two birds in one stone. Nourishing the need for artistic expression and filling the void of meaningless existence.

>cont
There is a scene where he is cradled by a poor girl living in a communal building. She hasn't much to offer, but as she traces her hand along his scraggly beard and kisses his hand while sharing intimate feelings, you can see him being in absolute peace. So much given, yet so little asked. She walks to the window sill and looks out towards the full moon, claiming it warms her while it is freezing outside. The magic hour, he just listens as she goes on about how the moon brings visions of her dead family alive and well, so she can't sleep, because that would mean missing probably the only actually meaningful and beautiful time during the month. He embraces her and connects with the sentiment. It is through these experiences that the bolstered notion of a fruitful endeavour comes to life. He is ready to die, to bring the story of the revolutionary leader to a fitting end.
I liked this film, though not as spiritual or metaphysical as his previous works, I think Lopushansky carries the torch of Tarkovsky with skill and understanding even today.

Cleopatra
The Deer Hunter
Birth of a Nation

I love it when my kino has a Christmas scene. It fits the season I'm viewing it in.
Neat cover, I haven't seen the film. What films are Lee's best?

>My beloved, you are so beautiful we should hang you from the tree next to the other angels.

This movie has so much you will miss if you don't watch it multiple times.

I'd rank The Ice Storm at #1, very comfy, great sound design and cinematography. I'm a sucker for Hulk, but I don't really know why, probably nostalgia. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is another great film.
Besides that, his filmography dries up. Brokeback Mountain and Life Of Pi are just generally boring. Maybe his other Chinese films are good, haven't checked them out yet.
