After only ever watching Joan of Arc silent, I think the score comes off as distracting.

I keep holding off watching more Brakhage films because they're silent. If I were at least watching in a classroom or something, there'd be the sound of the projector and stuff. While I know the silence was intended by him, I can't help but wonder how much better they would play with a score.

Sound and music softens the impact of cuts, if that makes any sense, and will hinder your ability to discern how the film is assembled, and so on. But that's just my experience. e: Once you get used to it, it definitely starts to feel like there's something going on anyway in the part of your mind that you would be using to listen. e2: hardcore coolkid mode: now go back and watch your favorite movies in absolute silence, and see what new things you can glean from them.

I sometimes play one of those "10 hours of projector noise" vids when watching pure silent stuff. It's neat.

Back in college a nearby church, every Halloween, would show the silent Phantom of the Opera and the organist would play accompanying music, it was really cool.

Absolutely loving stoked about Criterion finally putting this out, I never got the Masters of Cinema release because of the lack of Richard Einhorn's score. Definitely my favorite film.

Santa brought me Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project Volumes 1 & 2. I haven't seen any films from most of the countries represented in these boxsets so it will be the first time in a long time I'll be able to watch some films without any real expectations beforehand about what they'll be like. I'm pretty excited to dig into them.Hector Beerlioz posted:Santa brought me Dressed To Kill now we're watching it as the family Christmas movie

I've almost bought Salo the last few sales, but I chicken out every time. Though, I definitely have Pasolini's Trilogy of Life on my radar ever since K. Waste's Spoiler Alert featuring The Decameron.Raxivace posted:Santa brought me Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project Volumes 1 & 2.

Raxivace posted:I'd have preferred to the coal tbh. My biggest problem with Dressed to Kill is that it didn't really know how to end. The main twist of the film also didn't really age well, but I think accepting that it's a film from 1980 and recognizing that we have a better mainstream understanding of those things allowed me to see that the film wasn't malicious, just ignorant. When the one woman explains to the teenager about the surgery and all that, it felt like De Palma was trying to show off all of his research, or something. I'm not exactly sure what that scene was for. It feels like you could cut off most of the final act from that film, and you'd be left with something better. It just felt like it ended and then it kept going. I don't think I'll ever watch it again. It wasn't bad, and it had its moment, but Blow Out did everything Dressed To Kill did well, except did it so much better.

Blind bought Sword of Doom last month and just got around to watching it over the weekend. Beautiful film, I love a samurai film in widescreen. This is one of the better of the subgenre that I've seen that's not directed by Kurosawa. It also has one of the best Mifune sword fights ever, and it'd be easy to miss because he's known so much more for his work with Kurosawa, and overall his part here is small. Kind of a weird ending though, but very thematically appropriate.

I understand those arguments about viewing Dressed to Kill in context to an extent, but I feel like even something like Psycho has aged a little better in that regard even if that's not exactly progressive on the subject itself.

Touki Bouki was really cool, though I kind of stopped paying attention to the subtitles and just got absorbed by the visuals and music after a while. “~Paris, Paris~”

Okamoto is criminally underrated director; his other 2 samurai films Kill! and Samurai Assassin are equally impressive. Raxivace posted:Still, the ending we got luckily works very well for the story as Nakadai becomes consumed by violence and ends up as doomed by his sword himself as any of his victims do. The ending is brilliant. The sudden abrupt ending is like the narrative itself breaks apart in its descent into eternal, nihilistic violence.

I bought Sword of Doom last year but never got around to it. Maybe I’ll take a break from Zatoichi and watch that instead. I got Le Samuraï, Barry Lyndon, and Don’t Look Now for Christmas. Pretty excited for Le Samuraï, but I’ve never seen the other two either.
