Mizoguchi is misogynistic as fuck, lol.

I think there's definitely some art about the suffering of baby jesus. The flight into Egypt and stuff like that. + his circumcision?
― Frederik B, Saturday, 29 December 2018 20:06 (five years ago) link
never even heard either of those stories so I wouldn't say 50% of western art is about those two particular episodes, and whether any suffering was involved with either seems kinda debatable anyway

No, you're absolutely right, I just got a bit distracted. It's just, I'm a church singer, and the sunday on the circumcision of Jesus is one of the weirder sundays of the year...

The circumcision of Jesus is depicted often in western art but depict it as something the baby Jesus is suffering. The account of the circumcision in the bible is very brief.in Catholicism the fact that Jesus was given his name is what's focused on (It's called the feast of the Holy name or something similar).

"It isn't depicted as" should be in there

This wilful mis-representation of my post by ILX's resident art historians has been worth it
Mizoguchi may have perhaps been concern trolling but misogynistic is a reach - especially when using him to explain LvT away.

"concern trolling"?? nah. yes he made many movies about suffering women, but the attitude and the touch is a world away from LVT. slice of life/melodrama vs. sadistic playhouse. LVT's style is certainly valid and he's made lots of good movies but I don't think the comparison holds.

I agree that the comparison doesn't hold, just pretending that Fred had a point for a couple of seconds.

I’m the one who voted Epidemic. Glad Medea got a vote and that The Kingdom won.

Well, a third series of the The Kingdom certainly wasn't on my list of predictions for 2021 but there you have it.

Hour-long interview from late 2020. I love the part where he says "Let me tell you a funny story about David Lynch" which is really a story about himself and not that funny, but utterly him. Loves Bowie and Bruno Ganz. He says his trembling is from anti-depressants, but I wonder if it's alcoholism/withdrawal related?

Breaking the Waves, Dancer In the Dark, and Dogville seemed increasingly extreme as heroine martyr films, but then Dogville ultimately was a revenge film

The last film of his I enjoyed was The Boss of It All. Antichrist and Melancholia had their virtues, but being pleasant viewing experiences wasn't one of them - the sense of artistic struggle and general emotional malaise was too strong. I put off seeing Nymphomaniac until the long version became available, but if it did, I haven't watched it; I don't know whether the thought of seeing his last two films makes me indifferent or repulsed.It's strange because in the 90s he was so fascinating, even when I didn't "agree" with the films (like Breaking the Waves) or he seemed to be playing with a joker persona. A real dark cloud came over his work in the last 15 years or so, and I don't think it's just depression.
