Tarkovsky is my favorite director but Andrei Rublev is my least favorite film of his. It’s not bad but it is 3 hours long, doesn’t really make its mark, and is king of boring. Stalker, Mirror, and Solaris are millions of times better, especially Stalker which is a strong 10/10

I havent's seen Ivan's Childhood but Rublev is definitely worth it if you like his style. IIRC it's divided into episodes so it is probably intended to be watched in multiple sittings. A lot of people are turned off by his relatively long shots. I remember hearing somewhere that the average length of a shot in one of his films (can't remember which one) was nearly 2 minutes.

"To fully deconstruct Romanian director Radu Jude’s meta-on-meta “I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History as Barbarians” (the quote marks are part of the title) would require page upon page of single-spaced footnotes, swathes of Hannah Arendt, a deft repackaging of Walter Benjamin’s “Theses on the Philosophy of History,” and a crash course in Romanian anti-Semitism and the nation’s participation in World War II, amid formal nods to Godard, Straub-Huillet, and Marxist critical theory, while martial music plays in the background. Clocking in at an unwieldy 140 minutes, Jude’s extraordinary opus can be overly didactic and unapologetically intellectual at times, but it is also startling —a provocative, sarcastic, and momentous act of interrogation between the past and the present that escalates to an impasse, with the hands of each locked around the neck of the other."

Hollywood shows and popcorn movies relate to film as YA novels relate to novels. 90 percent of content of any medium is inevitably garbage, that's just the nature of culture. Sure, literature has much more depth as an artform than film, but that's not the point.
There's decent discussion forums for "high-brow" art such as literature and for "low-brow" art such as comics. But for some reason, there's no properly functioning forum for films.

why he is so undisputable admired. i dont like him at all, no film it was more than a meh to me. i mean, visually he is not something innovative, imaginative or... i dont know, something visually impactful like murnau or kubrick... . also there is a subtle notion that his films have a profound meaning. but, for example, you see the shitty movie sphere, with sharon stone and samuel l jackson?, stalker is not so different thematically and in insight than that. tarkovski seems a very interesting man with interesting ideas in his interviews, but to me his movies are not that rich, varied, originals, or deep. what exactly is his charming?.

First of all thanks for responding with an intelligible response, not many people here do that on /lit/ (most people here are fucking retards, let's face it). My opinion is that the line between meaninglessness and meaning is pretty thin. The author might have chosen blue curtains while having something very specific in mind, but as soon as he puts those words on the page, it becomes something else, something bigger than he intended. His reasoning for why the curtains are blue might be rather retarded, but another person could intepret is as something brilliant, with a totally different reasoning. In that respect being a good writer is something of a matter of luck, but that's totally reasonably. Many respectable writers (i think I remember goethe saying something to that respect) admit that their writings are something bigger than what they intended it to be, that people interpret things in unexpected ways, breathing even more life into it, and their writings become a being of its own, independent of the writer who wrote it. The fact that an authors works can be validly interpreted in different ways doesn't make them a bad author, on the contrary, if their choices provoke thought, that makes them good in their profession. Meaninglessness is quite ill-defined : the world may seem to be meaningless at first, but then what are the physicists, philosophers, mathematicians, economists working on? I don't think there are really meaningless things. Sure, the meaning behind some things could be boring or pedestrian, but then it wouldn't inspire thoughts in the reader, so the writer would fail his purpose.

Maybe, but if the authorial intent isn't there, the author is relying on the reader/viewer to find the meaning for them. When I watch an Ozu protagonist quietly settle into a newfound isolation, it's his genius that brings together all the audio and visual information to produce a moving image laced with themes of age and familial obligation and modernity. That precision of communication is exactly what we celebrate in artists and if we approach a work of art as if the artist didn't exist, we might as well just replace them all with AI at this point.

Speaking about culture in this time where everything is Americanized to the point of disgust is the equivalent of severe brain damage. So it's not a /pol/tard speaking here, because I'm convinced that nations are based on fiction and so on, whatever.

It's about the perceived influence of the Jewish people in the west, especially America. Any other fictive nation would love to have that kind of influence on the Senate/White House or any other American institution, but they don't have it and that's why the Jews are a problem.

Entertaining to who? If I'm entertained and you are not is the film/book bad? If you are entertained but I am not is it good? If we are both entertained but a third isn't?

Nobody who saw 2001 in theaters in 1968 would have called it boring in a million years, but to a modern audience it's painfully slow. What does that have to do with the artistic integrity of the movie? Literally nothing and you're a deluded low-attention span millennial if you feel otherwise.

See: >>13304346

I don't disagree with you that the classics should be treated critically, I disagree that calling something boring is a valuable critique, even if it is truly boring for that individual. 90% of Americans would find Moby Dick boring, that doesn't make it a bad novel.

Fair enough. I should have said that good art CAN be boring for certain people, not SHOULD be boring.

I mostly watch silents and early colour/sound films. The keystones of that period would be Griffith, Stroheim, Sternberg, Demille, Murnau, Eisenstein and Chaplin for silents; Renoir, Rossellini, Ray, Bunuel and Lubitsch (Ford and Welles are good too, but they're on the second tier). For more modern directors, I quite like Ferrara, Mann, Godard and Altman.

>In pain? You must know that torture's important, Wallace... 'cause it lifts the morale of the torturer. Didn't they teach you that at the university? You are trapped by your higher education. It leaves its own smell on you. I know it too well.
>I know you do and I can't imagine how a man of your background could...
>On the contrary, what's surprising is that a man like me... could remain all those years watching life as a spectator... before he discovered the force that was in him. Do you have any idea what can be accomplished here if you're a man of intelligence? Where brutish morons have succeeded in usurping the power in the land?
>Yes, he'd certainly be in a position to improve things. But not a weak man like Brett Fletcher. You change your spots. You're civilized among civilized people and violent among the violent. You're quite ready to adapt to any new background like a parasite.
>Pity you didn't pay attention at school, Wallace. The philosophy of violence. You recall it? One violent soul is just an outlaw... a hundred a gang. A hundred thousand... an army. That is the point. Beyond the confines that limit the outlaw and individual criminal... violence by masses of men is called history. I must say that I'm glad I've been able to speak with an equal who understands me. Those others are only able to understand the simplest things. Such as the fact that a spy pays the penalty. [cocks revolver] Reasons of state, Wallace. You studied history so you know what I mean.

these days I've learned it is better to not waste my breath arguing with certain people about certain subjects, or getting pissed off about idiots being idiots. every time I come to a place full of idiots, and find myself saying to myself "jesus christ, what fucking idiots!" I am always forgetting that I knew it was full of fucking idiots, but then I still chose to come and speak about certain topics that I knew agitated certain idiots. there are some good people, too. take the good, leave the rest. some shit is not worth it. what percentage of the shit people talk about or do online is a complete waste of time, or worse?

Cries and Whispers is awful though, by far his worst film and almost like a parody of a Bergman film. Like a Bergman film described in a Woody Allen film. No wonder Americans loved it and gave it the Oscar. All the others you mentioned are great though, especially fanny and alexander.
