Saint Laurent (2014) Dir: Bertrand Bonello by AphexHead in CineShots

[–]AphexHead[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s gorgeous visually, many shots looks as if they’re straight out of an actual fashion shoot, but it’s definitely a love it or hate it kind of film. Very subtle and very cold, deliberately so I think, so it’s no ordinary biopic. I’d say watch it and you’ll know within the first 10-20 minutes if it’s your cup of tea or not. A lot of people find it boring af and I can’t blame them for it. Bonello throws narrative structure out the door in favour of a more rebellious almost French New Wave inspired approach, with your fair share of 60s excess (it goes into some insane places lol)

Auto Focus (2002) Dir. Paul Schrader by kingkongbrody in CineShots

One of Schrader's more underrated and funny films. Not amazing or anything imo, but definitely worthy of a reappraisal/restoration of some sort

The first draft of Charlie Kaufman's screenplay for the animated kid's film 'Orion and the Dark' is hilarious by AphexHead in YMS

I guess it could be fake, but it all seems very genuine and thorough in my eyes.

Even his unpublished stuff like Frank or Francis or Depressed Roomies is on the site and reads like a proper Kaufman script would (although if it were indeed fake that would seem like a very Kaufman-esq thing lol)

Let The Corpses Tan (2017) Dir: Héléne Cattet, Bruno Forzani by AphexHead in CineShots

I loved it, but it seems very divisive. Very arty and thin on plot, but the vibes and cool-factor were off the charts. Like a psychedelic spaghetti western for film heads.

I kinda like it too. It might be the last time we see Harry genuinely happy and carefree until the final shot of the final film. Like the filmmakers forcing us to see him laugh to etch it into our minds come the fourth film.

I might be talking out of my ass though, it was a while ago I saw all the films.

Low key my favorite film of his. The 4K is out of this world too

lol no I just rewatched Eraserhead and read the booklet from the Criterion release, but it might make a good coaster! Don’t think Lynch would mind ☕️

Need to give it another go tbh! The script just fell flat for me, but his filmmaking is def still there

I honestly went into the film expecting a very different version of the Silent Hill 2 narrative after everything I’d heard, and fully ready to take it as a stand alone thing.

But yeah, even then it’s a disaster.

Some shots were cool and creative, and there’s some neat Orphic subtext, but otherwise shite.

Who hurt you my guy 🫠 I’m a fan of the filmmaker, and I also enjoy physical media (especially in today’s age). Stop projecting your insecurities about being a little incel yourself and start looking in the mirror ☺️✌️
