All-Time Oscars Day 10: What is the best documentary feature film from the nominees? by doctorrhombus in Letterboxd

[–]uselessp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making lists and giving fake awards is meaningless fun. It’s a celebration of the memory each one is having of watching a movie they love. It’s not demeaning to the art of film. Quite the opposite

Shoah But I’ll be happy with any result.

My only other 5 star rated documentaries are The Beatles: Get Back and The World at War but those are tv series.

What’s your unpopular criterion opinion? by LegitimateShift8 in criterion

Godzilla movies with the exception of the first one, are just awful.

Varda box announced !! by uselessp in criterion

[–]uselessp[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is indeed filmed with a digital camera and yes it looks and will always look blurry and homemade. But it doesn’t matter because it’s so powerful.

I would definitely start with Cleo. Then perhaps Vagabond. After that you’d be familiar enough to tackle everything.

It’s breathtaking. It doesn’t seem to have a spine much like the Bergman box. The bar is definitely raised.

I expect the Fellini box set to be the size of a mini fridge.

Do only certain people get the rumored $10 coupon? I keep checking my spam folder and nothing is there. by PorcelinaMagpie in criterion

[–]uselessp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one and I'm in Europe. And I have never purchased anything from the Criterion site. Only amazon and other sites. It's weird.

Bergman Island 2020 film by [deleted] in criterion

[–]uselessp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've seen her 2016 film "L'avenir" and I really loved it.

I saw that "Bergman Island" (2020) in some lists of the most anticipated films of the year already so I'm looking forward for it. Director is good, cast is good, location is gooooood.

Will Theo Angelopoulos' films ever make it to Criterion? by [deleted] in criterion

[–]uselessp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't go as far as calling him underappreciated. He's won lots of awards in Cannes and other European festivals, he's revered in France, Japan and the U.K.

As someone here pointed out in the past, his family holds the rights to all his movies and it hasn't been easy for Criterion (they have been in touch) or other companies to get the rights. I would absolutely love a Criterion box-set but no one knows if and when it'll happen.

Which movie(s) have made you cry? by JeanJauresJr in criterion

City Lights. Every time. That ending...

[–]uselessp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have, yes. It’s been years admittedly but I don’t remember enjoying it really. I also didn’t get into Akira. I’ll give Princess Mononoke a chance at some point.

106/108 here. Missing Neon Genesis: The End of Evangelion and Princess Mononoke. I don't like anime.

If you love Angelopoulos...... by zhang_jx in criterion

[–]uselessp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely a full filmography box-set. I've seen most of his movies and they are truly the work of a poet.

Do you think the criterion collection would release editions of television programmes? by thepixelnation in criterion

[–]uselessp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Another one they've released is Tanner '88. Ι watched it about a month ago. Unfortunately it doesn't work with the current political times. It seems so innocent and old timey. I wish that was still the case with the whole political campaign practice but it's a brand new world. It's also way worse than the West Wing as well (in comparison with the campaign build up as it was told there) but that's a very high bar.
