I request recommendations for lush visuals and aesthetic power with the story/characters taking back seat. That's the sort of stuff I talked up in the animation snob thread because I love the expressive visuals and ambiguity that you can lose yourself in. Please.

Well have you tried Sweetgrass / Leviathan / Manakamana?

Thanks Forksclovetofu, they look pretty good.

Gebo and the Shadow? Yeah, that one is good, though also pretty extreme in a way. Really not that much variation.
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 4 June 2014 17:46 (twelve years ago)
oh I liked the visual 'minimalism' (like the setup that's 90% of the first half hour) plus a lot of the dialogue about "Good fortune is when nothing changes" struck me close given my ongoing life event.
People seem most divided about whether Ricardo Trepa is a bad actor or that's just the character.
― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 4 June 2014 17:49 (twelve years ago)
Looking back on it, I really love the minimalism of it as well. But watching the film, and not knowing that much about de Oliveira, I was pretty shocked at how little happened. But it's good.
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 4 June 2014 19:09 (twelve years ago)
welll I think kind of a lot happens, w/out camera gyrations

The Diaz is very good, though perhaps not quite the masterpiece the reviews from cannes sorta made it out to be. But go see it!

OK, you're right, with a caveat....
The Weinstein Company has since agreed to release the director's cut of Snowpiercer in the U.S., with the trade-off being that the movie will no longer receive a wide release.
