i'm scared to watch more ekman (of course will get to the white cat) cuz he doesn't act in that does he? banketten was hot due to combination of acting/directing. is he a bad boy in any other films (apart from while the door was locked, seen that)

cœur ardent - jean durand (1912) it is astonishing to me how idiotic durand's comedies are compared to how beautiful his camargue westerns can be. he really loved that landscape https://i.imgur.com/kTJhHr4.png https://i.imgur.com/64Boh3O.png https://i.imgur.com/15TxnDZ.png https://i.imgur.com/FnaIQr...

please do roger! (and if you're so minded, post your ballot early so it gives the rest of us some interesting suggestions to hunt down before the poll is over )

bring on the chest hair and weird sex! (devastated that i've only one george foundas (as letterboxd calls him) movie left to see)

will try to refrain from insisting that all ancient greek stuff qualifies and thus spamming the thread with archaeology etc

sunday pranks - robert gliński this got banned for a few years, not surprisingly. stalin dies, the kids innocently enact horrific authoritarian games whilst their parents are off performing social obligations. children are ghastly. with eng subs: https://35mm.online/en/vod/feature-films/sunday-play...

celebrating the return of stumfilm with an elegant quickie

a lonely woman - august blom (1917)

ok i couldn't help watch another georgian one, this time a farce, which would have been delightful apart from some unwatchable horse abuse samanishvili’s stepmother - kote mardjanishvili, zakaria berishvili (1926) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttuq3xwXPi0 https://i.imgur.com/xelvls7.png https://i....

additional meat post







that's a might fine 'rifle' you have there

it's working again thank god! anyway whilst i was waiting i discovered this ASTONISHING 3 hour georgian epic (HD quality with english intertitles) just sat around quietly on youtube, amazing. am only half an hour in so far and will make a proper post later (LOVE the scene where a girl sees her belov...

100 days - viera čákanyová (2009)
