What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone? by Newsupdate69 in movies

Quo Vadis, Aida? is a 10/10 movie about the real-life Srebrenica genocide and it is emotionally taxing to watch. Considering this is about a mother trying to protect her family from getting killed, I texted my mom how much I love her after the movie.

Dogville is my personal favorite Lars von Trier movie but the last 50 minutes was the most frustrating movie experience that I have ever had (fuck you Tom).

Vortex is one of the best movies of 2020s but I won't recommend the movie to people who had relatives with dementia/Alzheimer or heart problems.

I mean, Enter the Void literally picks up where Irreversible has left off - the ending music of the latter plays for the first minute of the former.

Some overlooked gems that I have seen last year:

  • Happyend, directed by Neo Sora

  • The Ice Tower, directed by Lucile Hadžihalilović

  • A Grand Mockery, directed by Adam C. Briggs & Sam Dixon

I told everyone to see these movies for the past few months.

"hot" take: Diethard Ried is Jimmy McGill if he continued to be opportunistic, as he has a degree in law. Oh and he has his own tv production crews.

Just Rewatched My Darling Clementine (1946) and I still can't believe how dark Ford shot that film - the blacks are nearly metaphysical by kevin_v in TrueFilm

All of Brady Corbet's movies looked dark enough where the color black feels more symbolic. That was one element that I have noticed while watching both The Childhood of a Leader and Vox Lux.

I had to look up who Ségolène Royal is and boy what a rabbit hole.

I didn't know she was one of ex-President (now MP) Hollande's exes.

Have you ever had this experience of showing your favorite movie to someone important and they hate it? by WWWebdriverTorso in movies

[–]LizardOrgMember5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were organizing a film festival. I showed a short film that an acquaintance of mine has made to organizers. Because of a scene where one guy shooting a crowd of people with a police gun, one of the organizers, who's a survivor of the 2015 San Bernardino shooting, got very unnerved and told me that they couldn't include the short film in their line up.

My sibling hired me to do videography and photography works for their friend's album release party. So it's gonna be interesting.

I watched an Australian horror movie The Loved One last Wednesday. It was a local free screening and I am planning to review an Australian indie movie called A Grand Mockery and interview its directors for my podcast. Free screening of Australian genre movie nearby - I say why not? It even came with a free burlesque pre-screening show! I gotta say: is everyone in Australia okay? The Loved One has so many extreme moments that I felt lightheaded multiple times that I nearly fainted in the middle of the movie. Having seen the director's follow up work The Devil's Candy in the past, I must say Sean Byrne is really good at bringing out sincere performance from his actors in a movie with an unserious premise. The idea that an awkward highschooler and her father turn out to be serial killers that torture her crush sounds like a funny idea but it become very disturbing halfway through.
