remember wishing that akerman pina doc were longer (and the wim wenders one shorter)

donna rouge, Friday, 5 November 2021 17:47 (two years ago) link

oh god the wenders one jc. its amazing how compact the akerman one is though, it condenses so much into something quite sparse so you get both a real sense of bausch's process and what the performances are like (much closer than the wenders one which just soups them up but never captures what they actually do) alongside a very layered critique, freighted with ambivalence

plax (ico), Friday, 5 November 2021 17:53 (two years ago) link

i saw akerman discussing it in a q&a and she was very very funny particularly talking about the final interview with bausch where she said (paraphrasing wildly) 'oh my god i was just telling her everything about my life my fears my deep emotional wells trying to provoke something, anything and she just sat there, on camera, for hours, smoking that cigarette almost primly, giving me nothing'

Welfare is still on my shelf unwatched, sadly - after seeing Juvenile Court & Public Housing i got worried about ODing on that kind of bureaucratic misery (also not too far from my dayjob), so I've been gun-shy about it. but hearing you guys call it one of his best can probably convince me to get around to it sooner. one of my fave deep cuts from The Lighter Side of Wiseman(tm) is The Store, about a Nieman Marcus in Texas in the early 80s.

The Store is the one I finished most recently

If anyone thinks they might ever refer back to these results, I recommend bookmarking the pertinent posts now before the thread gets too much larger.

yah yah, i think it was one of her final public appearances! she was very charming, funny, talked about the films in a very unpretentious and illuminating way. that ica retro was so amazing, never seen anything like it in london.

plax (ico), Friday, 5 November 2021 20:45 (two years ago) link

Yeah very much a one-off, and yes it was an incredible appearance from Chantal.

Another Gaze were trying to pull something similar with a Marguerite Duras season but I think the pandemic got in the way.

I love The Sacrifice and Red Beard

Dan S, Saturday, 6 November 2021 03:34 (two years ago) link

I too opted for 13 Moons. I’m just glad Fassbinder avoided the Buñuel syndrome and placed something on our list.

Milm & Foovies (Eric H.), Saturday, 6 November 2021 03:43 (two years ago) link

The Sacrifice (Tarkovsky, 1986)
Love Exposure (Sono, 2008)

excuse me but hell yeah

STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Saturday, 6 November 2021 04:10 (two years ago) link

Would just like to point out that neither Alfred nor I voted for All About Eve

Milm & Foovies (Eric H.), Saturday, 6 November 2021 04:19 (two years ago) link

13 Moons is my other favorite Fassbinder. I saw it when I was young at The Surf, a decrepit theater in the Outer Sunset, with my younger sister on a very foggy night, and we had time to contemplate it while waiting for what seemed like an eternity for the N-Judah streetcar so we could go back home. It was a holistic experience

Dan S, Saturday, 6 November 2021 04:21 (two years ago) link

Yeah, I love a lot of Fassbinders, but 13 Moons is so powerful! It blows right through his usual alienation effects, and it's better each time I see it.

Cherish, Saturday, 6 November 2021 04:44 (two years ago) link

I believe I gave minor points to Mother and Son. The vibe really lingers in my memory.

I *wish* I'd thought of Makhmalbaf while hastily assembling a ballot. I guess it's time I saw Two-Legged Horse.

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Saturday, 6 November 2021 05:06 (two years ago) link

Voters chose 25 films from a list of nominees, a process I've never understood.

time to restart

bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Saturday, 6 November 2021 05:44 (two years ago) link

Which films did you and you alone vote for? In my top 25, the only film to not receive any other votes was Scarlet Street (Fritz Lang). His Hollywood remake of Renoir's La Chienne.

These from my long list didn't warrant any further love:
I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (Tsai Ming Liang)
l'enfance nue (Maurice Pialat)
Like someone in love (Abbas Kiarostami)
One week (Buster Keaton)
The Sin of Nora Moran (Phil Goldstone) - any pre-code fanatics who haven't seen this should seek it out immediately
Va Savoir (Jacques Rivette) - The film that turned me into a true Rivette-head... I had seen and loved Celine and Julie, but for whatever reason at the time, at the age of 21, I became obsessed with this film. I saw it six times in one week at the theatre, and on about the third day I took my minidisc recorder along so I could record the audio and listen to it later on at home...

Salut to the small number of participants who also voted for these:
India song (3 votes) - The related book, The Vice Consul, is also great and the audiobook is read by Michael Lonsdale i.e. you don't need to understand French to enjoy it because his is one of the Great Voices
naked kiss, the (3 votes)
Old Dark House, the (2 votes) - My #11, a hugely enjoyable film that I watch once a year
Saragossa Manuscript (2 votes) - Everyone should get sucked into this flashback spiral
Songs from the second floor (2 votes)
Suspiria (4 votes) - Kind of shocked this didn't get more support
Touchez pas au Grisbi (2 votes)
Vagabond (3 votes) - Varda toujours
Wanda (4 votes) - So great but was forgotten for many years. Hopefully now that it's on Criterion it will gain the wider audience it deserves
Wild Child (2 votes) - Truffaut loses me almost completely after Shoot the Piano Player, but this is something else and very good
You Can't take it with you (4 votes) - Watched this with my then-7-year-old about a year ago and he still talks about Mr Twitch Face

And

Gold Diggers of 1933 (3 votes) - my #5 - Just pure cinematic bliss

And thanks Eric for undertaking this enormous poll. It's been great fun seeing it unfold.

tangent x (tangenttangent), Saturday, 6 November 2021 11:10 (two years ago) link

V bad poll for more recent 'controversial' Euro auteurs too (never mind Bunuel or Pasolini). I did expect something by von Trier, if not by Haneke as well.

Love Exposure is fantastic!

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 6 November 2021 11:19 (two years ago) link

Yes sir!

The Asthenic Syndrome (Muratova, 1989)

xyzzzz__, Saturday, 6 November 2021 11:20 (two years ago) link

No Almodovar, or Todd Haynes.

14. That Most Important Thing: Love (Żuławski, 1975) *Write-in

Yep! I wish I'd put in some Zulawski.

Cherish, Saturday, 6 November 2021 15:13 (two years ago) link

I guess it's time I saw Two-Legged Horse.

Just fyi, it's Samira, not Mohsen.

Cherish, Saturday, 6 November 2021 15:16 (two years ago) link

the only zulawski i've seen are possession and that most important thing and i definitely preferred the latter, possession is a bit silly

plax (ico), Saturday, 6 November 2021 15:20 (two years ago) link

My #2, Pee-wee's Big Adventure, only got 1 other vote

I didn't vote (I've seen only 35 of the movies of the top 100 - this list has given me a lot of movies to watch) but Pee-wee is possibly in my top ten
