Il Posto. It’s been maybe 10 years since I’ve seen it.

Lo-Pan · 2020-01-28T19:01:27.606Z

I have never seen this.
And after this thread I have about 50 films to get through at least

TKC · 2020-01-28T19:36:11.661Z

Dont think ive seen any of his but I do have La Ceremonie on my to watch list

Bresson’s the definition of style over substance for me. Spent so much time smoking weed and watching his films during my college years. Cringe.

This isn’t specific to Raging Bull though, it’s true of all 1.85:1 aspect ratio films basically, although I guess they didn’t often just remove the mattes for VHS and not care about booms.

Kubrick shot for both AFAIK, hence no set ratio for The Shining

Jeremys_Iron · 2020-01-28T19:59:24.360Z

He doesn’t really have a style though other than minimalism. I assume you’re taking the piss but if not you should give him another go.

LilWoodyToodelly · 2020-01-28T20:02:27.418Z

Maybe it’s a Bresson/Besson joke

ericVI · 2020-01-28T20:03:21.245Z

got a pal who hates bresson coz of the “permanent 50mm” and i can’t help but think about it when i watch his films now

Can you confirm who you alluded to as the best British director of the last 40 years, btw?

malick · 2020-01-28T22:37:34.891Z

this isn’t really in the right order though sorry

the Guardian – 15 Nov 12

Peter Greenaway: 'I plan to kill myself when I'm 80'

As his latest heady mix of art and sex premieres in Rome, Peter Greenaway says he'd actually rather be a painter – and plans to end it all in 10 years anyway

ericVI · 2020-01-28T22:41:34.450Z

malick:

Patrice Leconte
Atom Egoyan
Paulo Sorrentino

where should I start with this crowd?

1101010 · 2020-01-28T22:42:36.195Z

Ah okay, I thought that was probably it but then I thought he’d retired like 20-odd years ago. Wikipedia tells me he’s still doing films.

I’ve seen Prospero’s Books at the cinema. I cannot really remember much about it except 16 year old me was fairly baffled.

malick · 2020-01-28T22:50:15.972Z

Patrice Leconte- Hairdresser’s Husband or Girl on the bridge

Atom Egoyan- Exotica

Paulo Sorrentino- The Great Beauty

malick · 2020-01-28T22:51:12.140Z

his heyday was in the 80’s I guess but I still think his films are more innovative and exciting than anyone else from the UK working today
