definitely getting a little fed up with the 60s stuff now


all the crazy dreams, i don't even know what he was going on about by the end

was gonna watch that, but watched the trailer and it felt like watching porn....all the juicy clips....and somehow i then wanted to watch it less....or watch the actual films themselves...which is odd cuz i usually go gaga over compilation films

think i might have a little film fatigue again....

winter - marcel hanoun in india song michael lonsdale did the most haunting, plaintive yell in cinema, and since it was off-screen it therefore inhabits all the infinite Unseen, all time and space, and so even tho l'hiver was made 6 years before india song, that cry is still reverberating in this fi...

oh was meaning to watch that! running out of time tho

ah, that's a generous explanation. i just assumed for me that i was some old british aversion to intimacy and that medium shot is quite close enough thank you

lullaby - max mack (1916) always enjoy the communal experience of these streamed silents, if only because i then get to chase cineanalyst's idiotic reviews on letterboxd (chooses to watch hundreds of silent films and then complains about the melodramatic acting? that's what i come for! how you don't...

the deserted archipelago - katsu kanai

exactly what you expect from 1969 japan, including the obligatory, normalizing rape scene

castle of wind and clouds - toko yamazaki (1928)

female director??? can't find any info at all....anyway nice to see a japanese silent for once, and nice fight scenes

the last night - a w sandberg (1928) yo, a subtitled, restored gösta ekman at the peak of his cuteness (was meaning to watch this for ages in a double-bill with the 1915 blom version (valdemar psilander at the peak of his hotness) but then subbed the subtitled one in first so now i have a vague clue...

started today reading mikheil javakhishvili's kvachi for CoMo, but it's 538 pages long. such a commitment. it had better be funny.

i'm so disgusted....i unfollowed most of silent film twitter cuz it was either just creepy perving on dead american women (much more interested in dead men) or people eulogising live screenings that are irrelevant if you don't live in london. so missed the announcement for this! (also i suspect that...

i am.....intrigued.....

(have so many 69s left to watch tho)

watched the toth family yesterday. maybe not such a great idea to read the book then immediately watch the film - maybe the jokes don't work so fast in such quick repetition...

oh love these

cheerless - nutsa gogoberidze (1934) #CoMoGeorgia stunning (and tense!) female-directed visual feast about the mythical deadly passions of the swamp frog-queen vs soviet pioneers https://i.imgur.com/VZbg20Y.png https://i.imgur.com/smJ3Roo.png https://i.imgur.com/c5hJYfj.png https://i.imgur.com/M9Lmk...

saba - mikheil chiaureli (1929) #CoMoGeorgia absolutely adore dark, gloomy, relentlessly miserable silents. this one is firmly soviet perils of alcohol, but is terribly let down by the ending where the crushed child lives and the father reforms. https://i.imgur.com/21ms1l4.png https://i.imgur.com/4F...

the most beautiful age - jaroslav papoušek

minor czech new wave film that i won't remember in a month

familiarities - felipe cazals


yeeeeeeeah....i was totally with this until:



thanks but i think i'll stick to female directed absurd explorations of domestic space from now on....

NW who doesn't love a doomed medieval romance?

maksim maksimich - vladimir barsky (1927) #CoMoGeorgia tying up the trilogy, our lothario is back, but ultimately alone....there's a lot of empty spaces in the shots and isolated figures in the frame.... https://i.imgur.com/NBWVESU.png https://i.imgur.com/Mr85gUG.png https://i.imgur.com/o1qsAvA.png ...

their helicopter - salomé jashi (2006) #CoMoGeorgia watch: https://dafilms.com/film/2275-their-helicopter This is a gentle and slightly absurdist documentary about the Ardoteli family in the mountains of Georgia who discovered that a Chechen helicopter carrying cheese had crashed by their house. htt...

bela - vladimir barsky (1927) #CoMoGeorgia part 2 of the lermentov adaptation and this is less psychological depth than flesh, less converging lines of destiny than gushing streams of desire.... https://i.imgur.com/sfZlMyi.png https://i.imgur.com/kopvxfw.png https://i.imgur.com/MxvPgta.png https://i...
