Lady Oscar really doesn't feel like any other film. Japanese source material, French setting (filmed at Versailles and etc), a cast of European (mostly English) B actors and it's Jacques Demy at the helm of it all.

It's on Bernard's vimeo page:

I got 8 Farocki, not enough Bing.

Thanks for reminding me about that one, greennui! It's available for free on YouTube in decent quality and I love the novel so thought I'd give it a go. It's odd to see a film with a much sadder ending than the novel it's based on, I imagine about 1% of all adaptations turn out that way. From what ...

Neat film reference:

Due to the virus they've made their entire archive available online for streaming, free of charge! Just need a quick registration. I haven't browsed through it properly yet but there's bound to be lots of rare silents.

I did this banner from Voices Through Time (1996) a while ago and then forgot about it. Franco Piavoli is an old man from Lombardy, hope he's alright, most of his films are set in that location.

I watched and liked The Organist at St. Vitus' Cathedral yet oddly enough I can't seem to remember much about it.

This one seems suprisingly obscure given the fact that it's the first time Hitler was depicted as a character in a German film, 10 years after the war.

Chilly Scenes of Winter (Joan Micklin Silver) - A portrait of the young man as a douchebag, or a portrait of the douchebag as a young man...Uncomfortable but poignant. They won't grow old together. I had to do a double take at Gloria Grahame being in this, not the kinda film you'd expect her to pop...

Great photos. That's a neat green jay.

Tait in B&W just feels wrong.

Je Meurs De Soif... is a mood piece home video in the vein of Garrel, with a touch of Warhol's screen tests and some added drone music. A cozy watch, the director himself has uploaded pretty much his entire filmography on youtube, which is a neat resource.

Belson trivia, Pauline Kael namedropped him in her infamous review of 2001: Is a work of art possible if pseudoscience and the technology of movie-making become more important to the “artist” than man? This is central to the failure of 2001. It’s a monumentally unimaginative movie: Kubrick, with his...

yeah, the new german cinema of the 1980s! :hearteyes: Der Fan :hearteyes: Yeah, one of my favorites as well! There's dozens of German films like this from the (early) 80s. It was a "thing" back then, like a whole international "Cinema du look". :cowboy: I have included 5 of thos...

I thought it was fairly slight by Andersson's standards so I can understand it not being as prioritized as his previous films.

Surprised how off-everyone's-radar Jarman's The Tempest is. Definite contender for my list, now that I've seen it. Two scfz views on LB, and greennui has it on his watchlist. Him in particular that I was going to recommend it to, so yippee for that. (Is that a masque at the end, or is that a masque...

one little seen New German cinema gem is Baal (1970), Schlöndorff directing Fassbinder and his troupe. T'was unavailable for several decades due to the efforts of Bertolt Brecht's estate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WFX4tWm9OM The realest unearthed masterpiece of recent times though is Acht Stu...
