everybody's love - valentin vaala (1935) streaming with subs: https://elonet.finna.fi/Record/kavi.elonet_elokuva_117900 typical gorgeous finnish scenery with typical varied amusements https://i.imgur.com/EmBJlbz.png https://i.imgur.com/AaDmm76.png https://i.imgur.com/hWbrT5q.png https://i.imgur.com/...

this is fairly delicious dancing at dusk - a moment with pina bausch's the rite of spring - florian heinzen-ziob (2020) #CoMoSgal In March 2020, the world experienced a global response to the spread of the coronavirus. Events were canceled. Public life restricted. The rehearsals for The Rite of Spri...

ok i'll get to it! meanwhile i have a polish werewolf movie to watch 8-) sadly, this was mainly about how women who like sex are evil :| same old patriarchal bullshit forever and ever amen. NOT in the mood i came to same conclusion, although i hardly remember it now :) → https://scfzforum.org/phpBB...

meanwhile, another female director, my favourite one....(is there a funnier one?)

in the mirror - laila pakalniņa (2020)

snow white, but the mirror is a selfie. and the dwarves are just.....adorable...

rosen - viggo larsen (1907) streaming: https://www.stumfilm.dk/en/stumfilm/streaming/film/rosen ok, so the distinctive danish sophistication was already apparent in 1907, plus this is pretty the way the lover is enmeshed in the murky desires of nature whilst she's trapped in the prison bars of civil...

the mine - natalia brzozowska (1947) streaming: https://35mm.online/en/vod/documentary/mine actual filth (coal dust). and i am fairly sure it wasn't intended (maybe?) but those dirty, naked torsos visibly vibrating with the big drills, explosions, the anguished women with close-ups of their hands cl...

this is also fairly captivating - 1905 is starting to see little glimmers of social-realist dramas amongst the comedies, trick films, moralising and actualités, and despite some sneering letterboxd reviews, i love this...the sets are elaborate, the camera is doing a 360 pseudo-pan, the many actors a...

tgv - moussa touré (1998) #CoMoSgal fun road trip movie! one of those 'biting commentaries' (aka total horror) covered with a veneer of broad comedy that i can and usually do endorse (and somehow all the african skies look like paintings) https://i.imgur.com/1YHU4L7.png https://i.imgur.com/osudgb2.p...

i think this is the most gorgeous, romantic vitagraph short i've seen, everything i want in a movie in 10 mins

my computer failed between last year and this so i have no idea what i nominated in 2022...anyway, films i keep thinking about long after i've seen them (discounting the films with valdemar psilander being super hot & sexy because i appreciate that they probably won't qualify with anyone else, b...

This program has a lot of SCFZ appeal... https://www.deutsche-kinemathek.de/en/streaming omg it really does, thanks lencho ♥♥♥ i've been wanting to watch i often think of hawaii for ages... and nude portraits is 1983 on imdb..... https://www.deutsche-kinemathek.de/en/online/streaming/nude-portraits...

not sure if this should go here or in pure filth, but nice that someone took the trouble to colour the background of the flying cocks.

there's another nest now a bit further down! twice the chance of babies!

i watched and liked etoile violette however i did drift off at some point into my fantasy movie of a two hour les hautes solitudes, but with serge bozon in floppy burgundy, occasionally sewing something in close-up finger shots. sigh......someone please make that....

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-plays...

just idle sunday browsing and discovered a filmmaker (from yorkshire) who isn't even on imdb, just relegated to 'amateur film' section of archives and if this one short is anything to go by, he should really have more presence than that. (he's on mubi at least) once described by Glenda Jackson as, “...

dickens was huge in 20's denmark - sandberg also did little dorrit, and his david copperfield even stars the same child actor that plays pip above... not sure i have the stomach for those yet, but am now daydreaming how nice a sandberg jane eyre or something would be... and i'm not sure matt berry s...

great expectations - a w sandberg (1922) streaming: https://www.stumfilm.dk/en/stumfilm/streaming/film/store-forventninger i see that the bbc just remade this again so took the opportunity to watch a proper version - this is gorgeously made (i'm guessing much prettier than contemporary tv cinematogr...
