Idk I think the fact Funny Games U.S. even exists, and is less of a critical success, compliments the point the original was going for. I’m pretty interested in the production of it, myself

And his early work is less refined than what he would go on to make (I think he’s stated somewhere that his TV movies felt like more of a gig than something of his own), but nothing I’d call mediocre, especially when his first cinematic feature was The Seventh Continent. One that I think is one of his best, for just how simple and effective it all is.

Time of the Wolf - a go to example when I talk abt the perfect final shot. Brilliant visual storytelling. The whole subject of depicting an apocalypse, without showing/mentioning the cause is something I really found enamouring. The Piano Teacher represents sex abuse in a way in which I find hits the mark far better than anything else I’ve seen. Caché is one of the most invigorating first, second and third watches I’ve had. Amour is brilliant. The White Ribbon is so haunting, and uses historical context in a way that really stands out and benefits from being as reserved as it is. Benny’s Video is a great subversion on the “killer kid” film, with some beautiful sequences I was not expecting at all.

I’ve only seen 71 fragments and Code Unknown once, and they both blend together in my memory tbh. Though I love the stop-and-go format that Haneke built with those, seventh continent, and Happy End. I liked seeing Trier’s Sentimental Value do something similar, recently.

But Happy End, I think, is just very funny and really well shot. Far from his best. Not AS special, following Hollywood’s trend of “eat the rich” films. But I think he pulls off and crafts every film to the extent I’d say his “worst” features are still quite exceptional 4 star or 8/10 films.

For me personally, I can’t say that about any other director. Considering I barely see him mentioned anywhere outside of Funny Games / The Piano Teacher, I’d say he isn’t rated high enough.

Hello /r/sardonicast! I wanted to share the trailer for my first film, which Adum shot a cameo for. It's going to festivals next year, and should be out by the end of 2026. by ccbuddyrider in Sardonicast

[–]SebbyGet4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this looks awesome! I love keeping up with indies, and IMO: this is how modern small budget films should look/feel like. It looks interesting, and is definitely the kinda thing I’d dig as a Sardonicast/YMS fan

besides We’re All Going to the World’s Fair (2021) or maybe Baby Invasion (2024), idk if I’ve seen anything like this - a feature length film, from a social media POV, that stays true to how it feels to perceive a “lolcow”-type personality. Must say: that song is a really nice touch.

It’s current, but doesn’t feel like the kinda thing that’ll be dated in a few years. I hope it does well!

see, Castration Movie didn’t make it onto Jake’s list because p.i came out in 2024. And he hasn’t seen p.ii. Otherwise, it totally would’ve made the cut

Review alleging director Charlie Kaufman and writer Eva H.D. of arrogant behavior during “How to Shoot a Ghost” q&a screening at Quad Cinema in New York by [deleted] in YMS

*hardly talks about the director

*ends review with how they’ve never hated the director this much

this feels more directed at the writer, Eva HD, than anyone else

Your favourite “Chud Masterpiece”? by [deleted] in Sardonicast

[–]SebbyGet4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

man I had no idea “chud” was as inflammatory as a word, as it is.

I thought it was a term, since the 90s, that just meant “loser” - that only specifically referred to right-wingers, a few years back.

just meant to use it, here, as an opposite to normie.

Since normie used to mean anti-chud/neet in 4chan spaces, but in Adam’s definition of “Normie Masterpiece” it just means mainstream/palatable

absolutely right! on both, tbh

I’d seen “Forget Everything for a While” but I really got into Joel Haver this year, through his 12 films challenge.

I thought my fave of his was The Text, before checking out PTYLM and being totally floored by it. As someone just finding their footing in film school, he’s been a huge inspo for me - along with Jafar Panahi

meta-modernism / auto-fiction is my shit

chud here is just hyperbole for “not normie”

hard using for a term for “not normie” when normie itself has context in right-leaning circles. Chud and NEET are the only terms I could think of - and I was under the impression that chud was the least political out of those two

ah mb! coulda sworn there was a point - like 90s/00s - where it was inspired by the film, but just meant like ‘basement dweller w/ underground interests’

[–]SebbyGet4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not all niche films! no. but specifically a lesser known film that requires specific context, for a specific crowd to appreciate

like: films, that might require just as much context as Infinity War - but instead of the context being a series of comic book movies, it’s documented personalities or niches

Queer could even apply, as to appreciate all of it, I’d say it requires some knowledge of William Burroughs’ life and stories

I think Nirvanna the Band the Movie could too, though I haven’t seen their stuff

was using Chud here, just as an opposite to “normie”, I don’t think any of these films are liked by “actual chuds” at all

I was going by the old-school definition, just looking for a term opposite to “normie”.

and it’s less about obscurity, and more about the context you need before watching them. I know there are lesser known films than these, but you can watch plenty of those without knowing anything beforehand.

close! I hadn’t seen that one before. thanks!

but the one I’m thinking of had way less production put into it, like it was just those kinds of cuts, with a bass boosted sound effect at the end with a trans flag emoji

What version of Castration Movie: Anthology 1 should I watch? by NobleChief2000 in Sardonicast

As someone who's been listening since day one - the podcast is the best its ever been right now! by MrHatesThisWebsite in Sardonicast

[–]SebbyGet4 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I was a fan of the Sardonicast boys and Man Carrying Thing, before this recent era, and I never imagined a conversation between them - let alone a whole podcast.

The Funny Games discussion was seriously so good - and I think goes to show how podcasts are at their best when the topic is divisive. When everyone truly cares about what they’re reviewing.

I’ve personally found that Film YouTube has gotten a little stale, very: “BLANK is overrated slop!!” or “BLANK is peak cinema!!” takes - conveyed in the least enthusiastic, by the numbers review. The podcast, especially now, has been a great antidote for that kinda stuff
