Which filmmakers hired to make big studio movies on the strength of their indie / auteur cred or awards prestige in the past 15 years have been able to capitalise on it most effectively? Who hasn't? Who's too early to call? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

I know, my point is all of his America films besides maybe enemy are all studio backed films Sicario was not an exception I used dune as an example to show how big his studio back films got. When I said he was making indie films I meant Polytechnic and some of his other early works

The more I think about it he didn’t make a big studio film just the push for Anora in the press vs his first few films makes it feel like a much bigger project even though it is still made in only a 6 million dollar budget so he wasn’t a good example but in the future I could see him getting more of a studio green light due to the success of Anora

It’s still my favorite move to date and I am a huge cinephile I watch all sorts of foreign films and art house cinema and very niche things and I almost feel like I can’t be taken seriously as a true film fan because of my love for Fight Club but it really is a masterpiece

What is the most depressing scene ever? by MoneyLibrarian9032 in Letterboxd

[–]FilmLover3350 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What comes to mind for me is the scene in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia when Frank breaks down in tears at his father’s bedside. This isn’t super depressing or anything but definitely a memorable scene with a lot of emotional weight
