Film was obviously great enough to endure a sober watch.

― Laertiades (imago), Friday, 11 March 2016 10:56 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, thats prob the best way to do it tbh

you should get high and listen to the new oranssi pazuzu album if you haven't already fwiw

Lol
(I've heard some of it; Im not as overwhelmed by it as so many others, but Im hardly done giving it a shot. Valionelu ended up in my top 5 for 2013, I think. I havent touched weed in almost 2 years, and that prob wont change any time soon, and I only thought you were maybe in the US cuz your gf said something about going to Mexico and I hadn't scanned the thread for evidence of facetiousness or any clarifying context or anything, and so thought your presence had maybe graced our fine continent. I was NOT insinuating that you and tt should roadtrip up to Michigan to smoke me down, though that may have been how it came across lol)
(Also I saw no new movies in '15, and dont belong here. Soz, foax)

think she meant they were travelling to a Mexico of the mind, thru the magic of film~

Thought It Follows was okay. It scared me--that's easy. (Had to abandon it at night and pick up the next morning.) Some symmetrically elegant shots; if Wes Anderson made a horror film, it'd look like this. Felt cheated in the end--if there was any internal logic, which I guess I expect a little of even in a horror film, it escaped me.

Really thought I would like Diary of a Teenage Girl, and really really didn't. Somehow both too earnest and too unpleasant; it reminded me of some 90s indie film (or maybe just a bunch of 90s indie films) that I no longer remember. I don't remember the last time I wanted away from a movie character more than I did Alexander SkarsgÄrd's here. And even though I wasn't a huge fan of Girlhood (or Gueros, for that matter) it still kind of surprises me that this is getting any praise in the same year in which those existed.

3/4 months in and my favourite films of the year are Godard films from '78, '96 and '98 and a Manoel De Oliveira films shot in '82.
Whatever happens a few if not all of these will go into the 2016 ballot.

holy fucken shit @ Arabian Nights pt 1, it is absolutely incredible, made me laugh and cry uncontrollably, and it's just the first goddamn third of the movie
cannot wait for the other two. felt more legitimately close to the spirit of bunuel than anything else i've seen recently

It gets even better in part 2 and especially 3 :)
― Frederik B, Monday, 25 April 2016 07:55 (eight years ago) link
First part is easily the best, the mock fantasy trial sequence in 2 and all the bird-singing stuff in 3 were pretty patience-testing, imho

This reminded me mostly of Bamako (the trial of the Cockerel), bits of Xala and Salo (troika and negotiators and traitors by the big house in the sea with young women and erections around).
Troika is probably too raw and Gomes hasn't managed to cohere this into anything. The director's cameo and remarks were pathetic. Towards the end the doc bits turned out fine although the eloquently put testimony was surrounded by junk. Wasn't convinced for a second he wasn't trying to adapt Arabian Nights, it looked like he gave up and made up excuses. Only if he had relaxed about it.
