I'm a big fan of Polish directors. Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Kieslowski... What is everyone else into?
-
I don't know. I like Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Shimizu's Ju-on: The Grudge, Pang Brothers The Eye but there are a few European and Korean movies I have watched lately that I like including Bon Voyage, partly because it has Isabel Adjani and I just like listening to French that I am too lazy to study my lessons on.

Satoshi Kon
Akira Kurosawa
Tom Tywker
Michaelangelo Antononi
Gulliermo Del Toro

Steven Spielberg.
Foreign language is a relative concept, you know.
-
Most filmmakers are foreign for me indeed.

Sure is, in fact I was going to say that in my original post.
-
But I'll bite anyway.
Milos Forman is a favourite of mine. Brilliant director.
Polanski, of course. Interestingly, I find his English-language films to be his best, with my favourite being Frantic. I'm probably the only one to think that.
There's a Russian director named Andrey Zvyagintsev who made a film called The Return, ten years ago. Great film, fabulous cinematography.
And there are others, but most of them aren't current.

I also enjoy Russian film, Andrei Tarkowski and Sergei Eisenstein spring to mind. Andrei Rublev and Battleship Potempkin being two of the best films ever made imho.

Tarkovsky is a bit boring at times, tbh. I like some of his work but fucking hell, somebody should have told him to employ an editor. Stalker is an orgy in long-windedness without meaning. Beautiful images but it felt like the bloody thing would never end.

I enjoy long windedness without meaning I enjoy its immersive quality. It seems to be a common theme in Slavic narrative. It is a method also employed by the Czech master, Frantisek Vlacil.

Have you seen the Russian version of 12 angry men?

Well, I believe in narrative, but it should not be confused with forgetting to turn off the camera and then using the shot. :P

That is available on my Indie Plex channel but I have not watched it. I remember that Jack Klugman was on the original. It is a good movie.

I hardly know anything about directors.
I don't know if Andy Kaufman directed anything, but he was the funniest guy who ever lived.

Have you seen Begotten? That thing bored the hell out of me, but you might enjoy it.

Akira Kurosawa
:indeed:
-
I like Kurosawa's older films. Wasn't too fond of Ran.

I think my first might have been Seven Samurai. Love that film.

Indeed he was. Sucks he died of cancer. Well maybe he did. You never know with that guy.

Pasolini :orly:
-
mentioned here, spielberg (hey, he's foreign!) del toro, also danny boyle. others I don't remember off the top of my head.
spielberg is of a kind of category I like to call "well deserved hype"
there is a technical perfectionism there, I think many viewers take for granted - precisely because he intends them to.
-
Kubrick (ok he IS foreign to me)
Clockwork Orange
The Shinning
Polanski
The Ninth Gate - i love that film
-
"shining"
SORRY :D
I'm sortof meh about that movie, because I feel like it whirls around a bit randomly -
Title "shining", refering to the magical ability of the boy to communicate through telepathy.
What the title tries to sell: A story about magical telepathy.
Story progression focuses on the hotel, the father, his increasing insanity, the resident ghosts and wether or not they are "real" or figments of increasingly isolated minds.
What "shining"?
OH YES, hurry! Include something about "shining"
So, the boy magically, telepathically tells the expendable black dude that he needs to haul his ass over there, and 3 minutes later the black dude is dead, and there is no more "shining" to worry about. Wtf.
That is like titling Jurassic Park something like "Nedry's glasses" or something
-
I have a sticky 'n' :M
I saw it when i posted it but thought fuck it

I have some too, I can't remember exactly off the top of my head, but there are some words that my hands will just type for me, and always type wrong -.-

also, re The Shining
I read the book first, maybe that is why i love the film.

I still call
movies
films.
problem?
lets fight.
I'll beat you up
-
I call them films :tard:
-
In my native language, we call them "film"
"filmer" in plural. It is a word of Germanic origin, and has splintered and been passed back and forth.
"fille" is a cognate word, that means "rag"
"fell" means a coat of fur, be it on a living animal, or taken off it.
Both "film", "fell", and "fille" denote something flat.
-
I call them moving pictures.
Unless there's sound, then I call them "talkies".
:probe:

-
The shit eating scene didn't bother me much. It's just the random stuff they did with no meaning that was creepy.
I understand it was meant to be symbolic, but I am shit with symbolism.
-
The movie is about the consumerist society. The shit is a symbol for junk food and vulgar culture.
The arbitrariness is to symbolize that no customs, no ideals, no logic exist in the consumerist society.

Pasolini explains that consumerism is the real fascism.

I like Kurosawa's older films. Wasn't too fond of Ran.
I'm wanting to see Rashomon....
Also sometime tomorrow I'm going to start The Hidden Fortress.
-
First time I hear about Funnelgirl, so I'm gonna go watch it now.
-
Just finished seeing it. Doesn't look fake, but the clip is too short to have an effect on me.

It's a good film. My favourite among his older ones is Yojimbo, though. Coolest hero there ever was.
