that whole era of japanese noir (i remember hearing it called nikkatsu noir) is really interesting and worth exploring, but suzuki's weird surrealism elements and editing makes his really stand above the rest.

Another gem from that Nikkatsu era is "A Colt is my Passport". The final scene is one of my favorite action scenes: youtube.com/watch?v=PvR68ugbWA4

Tokyo nagaremonoooooo

The Face of Another

Style over substance: the film

...

...

Style and substance are not mutually exclusive

>he wants substance over style

Branded to Kill is better
As for an actual example of transcendent human achievement in cinema, Bergman's Persona.

>Branded to Kill is better
How do you figure that?

Head to the Gallows>Tokyo Drifter

Intolerance>A Brighter Summer Day

A Woman's Face>Face of Another

Lilith>Persona

Criterion shit is and will forever always be cancer.

There is a difference between being an elitist and being a contrarian. You are the latter.

There is no difference between having. shit taste and bad genes. You evidently have both.

Drenched in Leone-esque aesthetic and I love it

>Leone-esque
You mean Ford, babby

I mean, everyone is inspired by Ford but Yojimbo and Fistful came out a few years prior to Colt so one of those is probably the more direct inspiration.

Criterion didn't make any of those movies

Yes I'm sure Leone had no idea how to shoot a close-up before he watched Ford

La region centrale

nice poster at least

Why would he use the "For a Few Dollars More" scene instead of TGTBTU and a more extreme example (the eyes only close up) ?

Also
>taking something and improving it makes you a hack

Leone was a master of building a narrative gradually, through the use of slow character development (not in the sense that they change, but in how much the audience get to know about them and their motives), camera use (gradually more extreme close ups) and music (final scene often featuring music that is similar but more dramatic/intense to music from earlier in the films). Just because Ford did something similar before doesnt make Leone a hack.

Everything in the Criterion Collection is garbage. It's what pseuds pick from to seem cultured without actually knowing history or theory.

All of Leone's shit is from Ford's.

>Leone was a master of building a narrative gradually, through the use of slow character development
Literally anything by Ford or Thomas Ince, plebbit.

such a nice movie

Look at me, I'm Clint Eastwood!

>Everything in the Criterion Collection is garbage.
Why?

Simultaneous narratives and coming of age stories aren't anything new. Neither is minimalism

Because there are hundreds of films that did whatever is in the Criterion Collection better and before.

/thread

>still quoting him
good job

...

So how does that make the films in the Criterion collection garbage, exactly?

If shit movies belong in the Criterion, then that means yours should be in there, too. That and your mom's porno.

Is... Is that a dardick revolver?

Leone autists in full damage control mode

babby can't even post a proper reaction image

Because unoriginal shit is garbage. Boyhood is shit. Films shot over multiple years have been done a million times before. So have usage of non-actors.

If you're going to take a half hour to reply, spend some of that time coming up with an original response next time.

>Half hour
Bruh, I'm a different user who hates fucks like you so much.

There's a sequel to Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift?
Awesome.

No one cares

>Bruh
I hate niggers.

I think i could get on board with this being a meme.

Neither do your parents about you, but I think that hardly needs to be stated since you spend so much time in your room away from them

If you think any of the flicks you suggested are good, you have early signs of down syndrome

I'd say try to get better taste, but you can't fix genes.

Don't worry. They'll find a cure for autism soon.

You are such a faggot l m a o

Derivative is your median mode

Found the 12 year old babby mad that his genes are shit

And shitting up Sup Forums with pseudo-intellectual elitism is wholly original.

>A Woman's Face>Face of Another

If you had said Woman in the Dunes, maybe; but you didn't, so fuck you.

Pseudo intellectual elitism would be unoriginal. Stating facts is. Check for birth defects as soon as possible because I detect a brain hemorrhage.

>Stating facts is original
It isn't though

Hmmm

ahah Amerifats posting about burger films like they're the pinnacle of cinema
I bet you would put Zack Snyder next to Dreyer

also none of those synopses sounds anything like those films that you clearly haven't seen

On Sup Forums it is. Take all of your posts for example.

>moving the goalposts
If you genuinely valued originality you wouldn't be here.

>Dreyer
Oh that's funny you mention him since he stole everything from Griffith. Even made several copies of his films

name 73

>Dreyer
See here, Eurocuck

If you're gonna try to meme, do it right newfaggot

oh it's you again. You're mad, seek help please.
Griffith stole everything from the Lumiere brothers.

If you genuinely had a functioning brain, you would have left by now.

So why are you here?

Thought so faggot

>stole everything from the Lumiere Brothers
Since when did the Lumiere Brothers implement soft focus or dramatic closeups, babby

...

Trips of absolute truth.
I remember that ending so vividly.
Such a fucking great flick.

since when did Griffith employ moving images retard?
why don't you go back to Sup Forums

To expose plebs like you. Start with Muybridge if you want to talk about film seriously

dumb non-reply poster

Literally since 1909 and right here, babby

>Start with Muybridge if you want to talk about film seriously
Why?

>Oh cool a Patrician thread!
>Thread is ruined by cucktrarian
>Why can't we ever have anything good?

>Griffith didn't invent anything
>Griffith is shit
Criterionbabbies never cease to embarrass themselves

>1916
literally 20 years after

seriously, the only reason why you like Griffith so much must be because either you only watch silent films and have no idea of what came after which is what I deduce from your utter ignorance of every film made post 1930 or you're Griffith himself because nobody can be this much of a fangirl

Nikkatsu is a studio in Japan that produced noir films.
I think you only got that impression from the criterion boxset

This is why film will never be art. The "patricians" are too busy playing video games and watching cartoons while ignoring film history. Meanwhile literature experts gladly read ancient Sumerian and Greek works.

Unironically this.

You didn't answer my question

I like tokyo drifter, but it was just a really cool stylish film

>ignorance of every film made post 1930
Proven wrong here

making a film is not the same thing as writing a book

I haven't seen loads of really abstract/artsy films and I'm probably a bit of a pleb, but this is probably the cleverest film I've ever watched.

>but it was just a really cool stylish film

are you implying that is something negative? Something that makes is lesser? That it's JUST a cool stylish film?

Cinema is a visual medium you disgusting pleb. And Tokyo Drifter is unrivaled in visuals, editing, juxtaposition and use of space.

...

Color's been used far better before and absurdism was already done by James Whale in 1935

>The highest pinnacles of human artistic achievement that transcends our understanding of reality
>JUST a cool stylish film?
A film being cool and stylish is enough to be entertaining, but it doesn't quite meet the above requirement.

well it transcends your understanding.

>Tokyo Drifter is unrivaled in visuals, editing, juxtaposition and use of space

>What is Citizen Kane

you didn't know what a single film I mentioned was about, you continue posting things completely unrelated, and for this reason I take nothing you say seriously
I would have happily watched those films if they even sounded remotely like the ones I mentioned, but they didn't, you're just wasting my time and you should go watch more films

i know this is probably bait but how can you say TD is better than 2001?

Is this like that Fast and Furious movie?

Hey that's a good point I guess my previous post is redundant.
