"[It] is a revolutionary film, in spite of Tati: the film completely overshadowed the creator. In films, what is important is the point where the film no longer has an auteur, where it has no more actors, no more story even, no more subject, nothing left but the film itself speaking and saying something that cannot be translated: the point where it becomes the discourse of someone or something else, which cannot be said, precisely because it is beyond expression. And I think you can only get there by trying to be as passive as possible at all the various stages, never intervening on one's own behalf but rather on behalf of this something else which is nameless." — Rivette

oh i see, you’re going to throw rivette quotes at me to convince me that i’m wrong about it.

ok i admit that might have been a subconscious motive

my contribution. PS fonts are sadly limited

my skills are rudimentary and i've forgotten a lot. maybe someone who is better at this can replace the text here

Let's get that new banner up and going!

we have activity

i like it!

makes sense

*I* certainly wouldn't know how to argue against that suggestion.

Time for a new banner perhaps? Or still good with this one?

we should have another banner-making "competition" once we get the winner of the 2010s poll!

Two wintry images from Make Way for Tomorrow I threw together in a few seconds for fun. Not intended for use, unless people like them. Rischka, make dat snowy western banner!

there will be more, only an hour in and chopping veggies lol

ok this might be my favorite

those are all amazing. my favourite is probably the first one

i like these two the most, but yeah, they are all amazing! nice work

thx, yeah i kinda think there should be horses

damn that new banner looks great

Loved it!

New banner is terrific, terrific, with horses!

thx you guys, that's an indelible image for me

can we keep this banner forever? or just come back to it every winter? i love it.

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.

beautiful, thank you. That's arguably my favorite film of all time, though I haven't seen it in almost 10 years. Piavoli is my favorite director. Hope he is doing alright if he is in Italy right now.

What do yall think? Time for an ol switcheroo?

DO IT DO IT DO IT

new banner looks amazing, great work greennui!

the new banner looks kinda shitty to me.

Saw the film once from 35mm in a theater. It was a nice experience, but nothing special.

New banner looks kewl. As if a small child is grabbing my hand and wanting to see a kino with with me.

very cozy.
