de woudmieren (1925)

ah well, i keep checking every so often and the minute the site stops getting flagged as 'suspicious' i'll subscribe. until then there's plenty streaming all over the place, even if i do have to watch some of them without subs.... adaptation - mane baghdasaryan (2017) #ArmenCoMo not sure what this w...

oh....i signed up for klassiki when it first started and the films were free. then my email got hacked and even today my antivirus gives a warning for that site, so.....no chance in hell i'm giving them my money or details anymore, at least until the antivirus stops complaining about them, totally s...

https://i.imgur.com/WOUWSCt.png symphony of silence - vigen chaldranyan (2001) #ArmenCoMo this film is really really bad but peleshian? again? is he in every armenian film? https://i.imgur.com/l3BCaJq.png this is peleshian, right? https://i.imgur.com/wWryZxF.png https://i.imgur.com/MVX2e5f.png

mountain vigil - artavazd peleshian (1964) #ArmenCoMo

found this article: https://evnreport.com/magazine-issues/armenian-animation-the-frontline-of-female-directors/ although it's quite hard to translate the female directors listed into a google search...so far only managed to find one, but it was nice :) lantern - aida sahakyan (1988) #ArmenCoMo https...

albertine ou les souvenirs parfumés de marie-rose - jacques kébadian (1972) #ArmenCoMo Jacques Kébadian was born in France in 1940, the son of Armenian parents. For him, Armenia is a symbolic, imagined place, pieced together in the accounts of those who survived the genocide, in his grandmother’s wa...

I'd put Dutch Harbor in the spot but I can't seem to locate it on my computer at the moment. i have it from you from before! but i left it so long without watching it for your dtc nominations that the guilt of not watching it grew to be the obstacle to watching it......hopefully the year poll angle...

earth of people - artavazd peleshian (1966) #ArmenCoMo

watching a few of his again because i can't remember what i've seen...and gonna end up watching this again in the future because i'll forget it by tomorrow....

https://i.imgur.com/hZZYHh8.png Զարե / zare - hamo bek-nazaryan (1927) #ArmenCoMo not as gripping on the melodrama front as the earlier namus, since this one is more about state oppression/corruption and every villager is an innocent saint (whereas namus was condemning the patriarchy even within th...

i even have a copy of this, not sure how i missed it THANK YOU

jenny and the soldier - johan jacobsen looooooooooooove it, THIS is how to deal with post-war moral chaos. even the potentially irritating god stuff that i got a bit worried about (looking snarkily at you bergman) is ambiguous cuz at the end the (surprisingly cute, given that he's an idiot) hero is ...

actually the german one wasn't totally condemning opium....it was like....this stuff is great, just don't overdo it! :D the film was more an excuse to be extremely racist to the (non-european) drug-pushers. but connie was beautiful in it, so.... i was more intrigued by the consistent appearance of a...

pour une nuit d'amour / passionnelle - edmond t. gréville https://i.imgur.com/F0iYwOj.png good old gréville...much better than those fucking revolting german films that are so full of saints it's a wonder anything bad happened in germany at all. i'll leave it to zynab to sum up the film... “The evid...

in the last second - alf nielsen (1913) this is pretty bad (i can only imagine actor-director alf had a bet on to film everything as far away as possible) but it still has its oneiric moments https://i.imgur.com/XpF3WND.png https://i.imgur.com/ifkIMJA.png https://i.imgur.com/QVBOx3T.png https://i.im...

i often think of hawaii - elfi mikesch (1978) this is a lovely doc - the prosaic life and colourful fantasies of an achingly lonely berlin teen (and her family) https://i.imgur.com/Xn5emM6.png https://i.imgur.com/HVbcYqA.png https://i.imgur.com/YUA9xjU.png https://i.imgur.com/bC1zqYX.png https://i.i...

the bear tamer - alfred lind (1912) as sequel to the pride of the circus, it's not so much taming of the shrew as taming of the dangerous furry thing cuz i guess sex is all danes think about in the 1910s. though it swaps the stunts of the previous film for uncomfortable animal encounters, not sure w...

have been thinking about Steve aylett, a British author I liked once, and his comic, the caterer....
