Mother Of George (Dosunmu, 2013)
West Side Story (V/A, 1961)
Ocean's 8 (Ross, 2018)

untagged are all DCP, except Incredibles which was laser-projected. both the 35mm screenings and Incredibles were masked, many others weren't even framed to the screen (allowance made for Blue Velvet Revisited, which was a double feature with Blue Velvet, but is mixed aspect ratios anyway. I missed America entirely in West Side Story because I went down three floors to complain that the entire picture was floating in the middle of the screen with at least three feet of black on all four sides.

Village Of Haze - South-Korean film from 1982. Woman goes to teach at a mountain village and there's a mysterious homeless man there who the villagers abuse and sometimes tolerate and accommodate in strange ways as a means to denying their own problems. People here falsely believe themselves superior to city folk. Ominous organ music and the teacher listens to Yazoo hits in her bedroom. Ending will surely piss people off because while it is thoughtful about infidelity and rape, it still blunders on the latter. But it's worth seeing.

Checked and I think this is a legit way to watch it from Korean Film Archive

Sicario the first one, cos i was thinking o0f going to the sequel.
Quite dark, enjoyed it . But wonder if the sequel is as good. Probably darker considering who the protagonists are now.

Stevolende, Sunday, 8 July 2018 15:21 (five years ago) link

Too OTT & silly to be darker. I enjoyed it more than the first one, which I found really really boring. New one is dumber, faster, pulpier... while still being very confusing.

I'd give it a 7 but I agree it's one of the year's best.

Correct score for 4 Days in France, maybe too high.

Port of Call has one amazing cut in it early on, when the boyfriend tries to hug the girl but she passes thru the doorway instead, and Bergman cuts from one room to the next as she passes thru. Hard to explain. I'll look for a clip.

the last two were accidental, as I was trying to stream Joe Bob's Last Drive-In on Shudder, and their system got so overloaded it served me different movies from their catalogue until I caught on.

all the theatre screenings were DCP, Hawks & Hecht was the only one masked (in a museum, not a cinema)

j.lu, what was Prison like? Isn't that the "uncommercial" version of Thirst or something?

flappy bird, Monday, 23 July 2018 04:49 (five years ago) link

"Uncommercial" is not the term I would use; more like "one-stop shop for avant-garde film clichés." The dream element, the making-a-movie element, the off-kilter morality element....The program notes compared Prison to Rope (1948), which is inevitable given that both feature a protagonist's former teacher endorsing the upending of conventional virtues.

Leave no Trace (Debra Granik, 2017) - watched this with a friend that works in mental health and she really liked the more grown-up portrait with the caveat it probably reduced the stresses in the main relationship.
