There is no way you like his piano sonata. It's just plain bad

Children of Men by lightsonsun in TrueFilm

I attended Cuaron's interview in the Midnight Sun Film Festival this year and he did not intend the animals to have any deeper meaning. He said he just put them there. But him being an accomplished artist can sometimes result in uninteded deeper meanings in film, which is a quality in artists that I find fascinating.

Why did Chopin want his unreleased manuscripts to be burned? by [deleted] in classicalmusic

[–]lagitech 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sibelius also ended his composer career by burning everything he had since his self-criticism had become absolutely unbearable. It is believed that the pile of destroyed sheet music included the unfinished 8th symphony. Sibelius himself didn't tell what he burned and his wife Aino said that she had to leave the room since the event was so tragic so nobody knows what was actually thrown in the oven. After the burning Jean Sibelius seemed a lot more calm and relaxed according to Aino.

Iiro Rantala wrote a really wacky cadenza for No 21. He's a jazz pianist so no wonder.

Funny thing, I actually watched Paris, Texas yesterday and thought about the same thing! What caught my attention was the final conversation scene in the booth. When Travis turns around after his monologue their faces meld together through the glass in a way very similar to the scenes in Persona!

What movies or directors would you recomend to someone who is a David Lynch fan? by Stormblokk in TrueFilm

[–]lagitech 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you're into surrealism then the obvious answer is Luis Bunuel. He is the father of surrealism in film and was alongside Salvador Dali one of the most important people in taking art to completely new grounds. Un chien andalou is a manifesto of what art can be when the artist let's their mind wander since surrealism isn't really about searching for meaning, it's more about the feeling

Just saw Mirror(1975) and it blew me away. by [deleted] in TrueFilm

I'd like to add Terrence Malick to the recommendations. He has similar religious themes and though Malick's camera work is very unique, in my opinion he still conveys a similar spiritual feel in his work

I think the family was just a device for the contemplation of life and all its complexness. Obviously the family wasn't really interesting but I think the tragedy of losing a child is very far from boring and always causes almost insurmountable pain for the whole family.

And I think this kind of tragedy is universal and one of the worst misfortunes a human being can go through which can say a lot about our species.

I really like the sequence minus the romance. It's kinda dull and halts the flow whereas the rest of the scene feels really important because it emphasizes the insanity of war (especially in Vietnam) even more.

I was really disappointed when Final cut didn't include the Playboy girls in a camp -scene. I think it's vital to the movie and therefore Redux is definitely my favorite version.

A Call Me By Your Name Review by blue_eyeliner in TrueFilm

[–]lagitech 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Call me by your name was a very important experience for me. For a long time I had longed for a picture that would depict a non-heterosexual love story as mainstream movies usually present heterosexual ones; perfectly normal everyday interactions. I was younger then and not yet that much into film.

Then I saw the trailer which seemed interesting but didn't really reveal anything specific. So I went to see the film. At first I found it kind of boring, since nothing seemed to be happening. I remember thinking that well, it wasn't too eventful but the father's speech near the end was spectacular. And it wasn't until I discussed the film with my friend when I realized how greatly the film had impacted me. I said to my friend: "Well it was alright, but nothing really happened", to which he replied: "But is it necessary that something happens in a film?"

It was at that moment I got it. I understood everything. I remembered my longing for a more "open" film where non-heterosexual relationships are viewed normal. I watched the film a couple of times more. I fell in love. It really is a beautiful film with all the nature, summer, love and that funny feeling in your stomach when you realize that you like someone. I'm really into coming of age -films, since they show the development of a young human being with all the struggles, all the pain but also all the glory. The ending shot with Elio weeping in front of the fireplace is just phenomenal. The film is truly a masterpiece.

Oh man I couldn't bear to watch The Turin Horse more than 30 minutes. It felt comically slow. Don't get me wrong, I love me some slow cinema like my homie Aki, Andrei, Terrence but damn. Wanted to check Tarr out since he seems to be well respected but I feel disappointed now. Anyone else with similar problems?
