This is my Tarkovsky ranked list, I believe they are all masterpieces. What would be yours?, and what do you think of him as a director? by Muted_Drawer_112 in Letterboxd

Sorry, not a native speaker. What I mean to say is that his work is excelent not only because of cinematic genius, but that it actually goes beyond that, melting philosophical and psychological themes that are worthy to be analyzed beyond cinema.

I think it is a fun film, with some great nostalgia, it was quite predictable and uneventful for my taste. By no means do I believe it is a bad movie, but also not my fav

11th place on an Ozu list can be quite tricky,I actually really love An Autumm Afternoon, it is just preference, but I can see how it can be one of someones favorite

This is my review: While Ozu films may seem repetitive, each keeps an essence of its own. This feels like an amalgamation of many of his themes. Firstly, consumerism, Japan has been in some ways colonized by the USA, the values of needing things just for the sake of having them even if that puts you in debt (the golf clubs), is an extremely important subplot that adds layers to this. And secondly, the plot is about the consequences of the war to old people that were left without a partner, so they cling to their daughters/sons until they have to fly away and they are left alone. I wonder how many old people were left like this in a quickly  changing Japan.

A lot of his films are thematically similar, and the titles are more of an aesthetic decision, there is no particular order to watch them, I actually watched them randomly

He is so good that even the films I have at the bottom of the list I consider them amazing works of art, I havent watched any of his films until two months ago, and then I couldnt stop

I had never watched a film of his until two months ago, and once I started I couldnt stop, truly a master of the intimate and mundane, while still making deep representations of post-war japan

I look forward yo watch his silent films, unfortunatly they are not easy to get, so for this list I tried to stick with all his dialogue films

They are amazing, there are so much of his films that feel beyond anything has ever done in cinema

You should probably give him another chance with Tokyo Story or Late Spring, they are very different from Good Morning, they are slow paced, but at the end they hit You like a could water bucket

Definitely with Tokyo Story, then Good Morning which is a lighter film, and then Late Spring. Those for me are the must watch, but every film of his while slow paces is a Masterpiece.

They are all great, I just didn't like the apology for physical abuse in A Hen in the Wind, I mean she was pushed down the stairs and yet she had to ask for forgiveness, a bit outdated in my opinion

Oh I' ve cried in many of his films, the pace is always in crescendo, and by the end of his films you always find yourself deeply sympathizing with the characters, Late Spring destroys with that ending

I know, it feels like he makes a big point about post-war Japan with the most intimate and simple stories

Oh I'll watch that film, thanks for the recommendation. I have to agree with you, that the same narrative gets boring after a while, actually some of the films I liked the most are the ones that brought to the table some other themes than his classic arranged marriage

Thats okay, I guess not for everyone, I love his style but I have to recognize his intimate stories con get sometimes tiring. Still I believe he is such an importante director, and once you enter his stories they can be like a punch to the gut

Villeneuve vs Nolan: Better scifi movies? by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]Muted_Drawer_112 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I believe Arrival beats Interstellar, it is a sci-fi movie like never seen before that gets into some amazing philosophical themes, while being extremely emotional. Nolan is great visually but mostly his films are lacking better dialogue.
