All Purpose NYC ILX Film Snob Thread

Gebo and the Shadow? Yeah, that one is good, though also pretty extreme in a way. Really not that much variation.

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.

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.

welll I think kind of a lot happens, w/out camera gyrations

for symmetry I saw Lonsdale tonight, 45 years earlier, in Marcel Hanoun's Le printemps

I might come out of the woods for the new Lav Diaz film later this month. Sad I'm going to miss Melancholia!

if yall snobs can stomach watching on vimeo, alex ross perrys impolex is up for a week -http://nobudge.com/main/2014/6/11/alex-ross-perrys-debut-impolex

in case you missed it, Guinness at FF

I didn't really 'get' Impolex and am told it's probably bcz I haven't read Pynchon.

Sat night, Hoberman does a dual projection, White House Butler Down at Light Industry.

NYC film snobs, should I go see Ida? Just now arriving in my flyover city.

There are better options

yeah for sure catch something else
i can't remember what the contemporary snobby nyc cinema listings site is but somebody should let you know

mad at this thread if you all didn't catch SEVENTEEN
but let us know how the diaz was if you catch it, morbius?

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!

I am down this week. Will see the Diaz, maybe Duncan Campbell at MoMa...what else is good?

Sorta tempted by the Pierre Huyghe film that is supposed to be terrible

it looks like Thurs night closer for Diaz if i can make that.

NY Asian fest is starting Friday, and I just, well:

I assume you're gonna go see Kano

not esp likely

i don't like baseball movies really

Snowpiercer starts Thursday, I am hella hyped.
maybe not snobby enough for y'all but i am into it.

i hear Harvey the Hutt ruined this one too

i thought bong got final cut at the end of that?

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.

given the geek content, this will run 'forever' here so i'm in no hurry as it's not really my cup of dystopia.

Chris Marker at BAM

Thanks! Chris Marker sounds especially great, especially Sans Soleil on 35mm.

I consider this to be a tough Saturday afternoon choice

http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/film_screenings/21464

went to the Mary Pickford, which was quite stimulating as non-legendary silent drama goes.
