Question of the Day
What's your film scene that, in turn, serves as an homage to another film scene?

/philm/ thought of the day —
Partial means whole
Crooked means straight
Hollow means full
Worn out means new
Less means content
More means confused
Thus the sage holds onto the one
To use in guiding the world
Not watching himself he appears
Not displaying himself he flourishes
Not flattering himself he succeeds
Not parading himself he leads
Because he doesn’t compete
No one can compete against him
The ancients who said partial means whole
Came close indeed
Becoming whole depends on this
Sounds interesting.
ALL I HAD I GAVEEEEEE
any more /films/ worth watching from my favorite latin american country, Québec? I just filtered on Canada+French. most of them seem accurate, but definitely not all
Based Crowbarbro
For me it's "To Build a Mountain"
I had the same reaction as that anon, only instead of Bertolucci, for me it was Tara's kino called Do You Know What Happens to Little Boys Who Spy on Their Sis in the Shower
Love and Death
W H E A T
The "early funny" Woody Allen movies are overrated. He gets much better later on. Allen himself agrees.
Not a big fan of her sister content, it pales in comparison to her mother stuff.
WEBM
Say her name.
He was at his best during the 1980s, but Love and Death is one of his best.
I think they’re all great. It’s his later films that are total pieces of shit.
QOD
As bodas de Deus referencing the ending of Pickpocket.
QUEBEC ISN´T LATIN AMERICAN
Yes it is and LATAM is western btw, that angloid map can suck my fat suck.
I'm just getting into them. I used to hate Kirk's vocals, but I'm warming up to the band after repeated listens. I still think Acid Bath and Eyehategod are the best sludge bands by far.
Death to my enemies. Death to the deceivers. Death to the liars. Death to the pimps, death to the prostitutes. Death to the niggers and spics.
this map is correct. only brownoids will disagree
My fat cock*
Death to the low IQ spammer (You). Increase the genetic pool cleansing via forced celibacy.
They/them
if I were going to listen to just one Frank Zappa album, as someone who never has, which should it be and why?
It makes no sense, Argentina for instance is a billion times more european than the USA or Canada.
Suck my fat suck
Get ready for the influx
We're Only in It For the Money, it encompasses him greatly.
How are you clowns still going on about the Western Civilization/Latin America thing? Unreal
Hot Rats for the jazz/instrumentals

t. villero
Oh shit, when are they coming out?
I'm convinced Criterion goes out of their way to make the ugliest possible cover art on purpose.
I'll stop.
I apologize. I just thought it would be funny to call Quebéc a Latin American country again. I didn't think it would stir up another argument
Maybe. You can tack on many meanings to that. Hard to say what Vlacil intended and what not. Adelheid is easier to read and more outwardly political.
It's the classic alienation, ennui, lack of communication, modernity that he did before but in a different setting. The main things that distinguish it from the previous films is the subversive thriller element (somehow done before in L'Avventura), the accurate capturing of a certain zeitgeist (swinging 60s, although this was done before in his previous films but in a different way, in a certain way his films are great documentaries of a given period) and the questions on the nature of reality and value of things. I think the nature of reality is the biggest new element he added. It's about perception and how one's subjective perception is reliable and unreliable. Did the murder happen? Does it matter? The key to this is in the guitar scene. He doesn't know what's happening, he just stumbles upon a concert, they throw a guitar into the air and he fights for it. Other people want it so he wants it too, the value of the object is given to it by the group, society. As soon as he out of the group he throws it away. It's shit to him. The value of things is given to them by people around them. That's why the murder is meaningless in the long run, there is nobody around him to give it any value. At the end he wants to give the value to the body by showing it to the guy at the party but instead of that he indulges in hedonistic pleasures. The body is not there and at the end he accepts the unreal state of reality by playing with the mimes who only imagine the ball.
t. filtered from the gene pool by low IQ and horrible facial features.
I'll start with We're Only in It For the Money then since it's the earliest. I'll move on to the other two if I like it
There is no argument, keep talking 'bout LATAM, niggas.
What are your facial features? Droopy, fat, skin? A greasy mustache? You a fat fuck? Bet you have saggy brown man tits and a mullet. You fucking spic. Fecal colored flesh like a fresh afternoon shit? BO so intense that a jeet would be envious?
Worse. They're just californians who think they're doing genuinely good covers.
how do you like grain on movies?
I used to date models, I will just say that.
NTA, the only thing I’ll add about this film is that it was selected viewing for a film class I took in college. The professor gave a short lecture about the film after we had watched it, and the first student to speak up said “I don’t see the big deal, it was boring, and the ending sucked.” and everyone else in the class agreed with him.
You used to date a 300 pound cleaning lady named Consuela you fucking beaner
Those 3 albums are completely different tho. You might like one but not enjoy the others.
We're Only in It is pretty avant-garde and psychedelic, while Hot Rats is a (relatively) straightforward jazz fusion album.
Yikes, you’ve said enough
U mad?
Come on greaseball you can do better than that, put some legwork like you're playing FeeFuh esse
FeeFuh dawg
Uncle Meat is his most comprehensive work
agreed
he peaked in the late 70s imo
lol. But it's true. Filtered from the gene pool forever, back into your (alleged) father's nutsack, etcetera
BIG GRAIN, A LOT OF GRAIN, SMALL GRAIN?
Anon Babble I NEED YOUR ANSWER FOR RESTORATION
A Confucian Confusion was rather mid tbqhwy.
This is a Love & Death thread, as much grain as possible is the only reasonable option.
They got filtered hard.

Carax, Serra shooting films (soon)
Kicking things off with a small but enticing update, following last year’s incredible cine-memoir It’s Not Me, Leos Carax is finally prepping a 2026 shoot for his first narrative feature since Annette. While not much is known about the project, a casting call confirms Léa Seydoux and Adam Driver will star in the Paris-set feature.
Last year, when we spoke to Albert Serra about his planned collaboration with Kristen Stewart for Out of This World, he seemed hesitant if the casting may come together and, indeed, it proved too good to be true. Variety now reports Riley Keough will lead the film alongside F. Murray Abraham and Liza Yankovskaia. The film follows “an American delegation traveling to Russia in the midst of the Ukrainian war to try to find a solution to an economic dispute.”
Another filmmaker in post on a feature has found their follow-up. Son of Saul director László Nemes’ Orphan will likely premiere this year, and now he’s set his English-language debut with Outer Dark, an adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s 1968 novel to which Jacob Elordi and Lily-Rose Depp are attached to star, Deadline reports. Set to shoot in 2026, the dark fairytale is set in Appalachia during the Great Depression and “tells of a young woman who bears her brother’s baby. The brother leaves the nameless infant in the woods to die, but tells his sister that the newborn died of natural causes and had to be buried. The sister discovers this lie and sets out to find the baby for herself. But as both brother and sister separately move through the countryside, three terrifying strangers are on their tails, wreaking death and destruction wherever they appear.”
you should watch blue jasmine, it's pretty funny. interiors is also underrated
Sorry not sorry
MIDnight in Paris that high
no Harperkino Stardust
Plan on watching Stardust eventually.
Owen Wilson is just a vibe, to borrow a cringe brainrot phrase. He does the 'Woody Allen character' well.
I think Apichatpong will also start shooting on 2026, but haven't heard any news recently so I might be wrong.

Carax: "I need Léa Seydoux, drunk and crying in my film"
Assistant: "Sir, she's already here, she's been drinking in the basement for hours"

The third act of Broadway Danny Rose is the only time Woody actually acts in his entire career, and acts very well. A must watch for anyone interested in his work beyond surface level.
I haven’t seen it since 2010 but I remember Mesrine (part 1) being really really good.
That niggas only made two movies I like. Midnight in Paris and Manhattan.
French is a Romance language so Latin
somehow not Latin
My dad once said that Midnight in Paris clicks harder after travelling to Paris being divorced.
For me personally Joes Garage. It is a concept album that tells the story of music being banned in a dystopian society and some autistic guitarist who doesn’t fit in and imagines musical kino in his head. It is a long album and very dense with 8-10 minute songs at the end. But it is probably one of the great artistic achievements in rock.
My dad says the same about one night in Paris.
All our dads have been to Paris here.
Come on Vlacilfag I know you are better than that. I remember more passion out of you during the pandemic. Are you really gonna make me dig through the archives
Eddingtonbros are we winning?
I agree with the film students. It is okay to have an artistic failure. It is better than making mediocre slop for the masses.
Blowup is probably his second most achieved film, no wonder it filters so many.
Is he Anon Babble?
REMINDER THAT LATIN AMERICA DOESN´T INCLUDE QUEBEC AND CANADA AND ALL THE SHIT AFTER MEXICO
He's the opposite of 70% of Anon Babble
So... it is just México?
Latin America = Quebec, Suriname, and Guyana
Found dead in a ditch
chile
Weird thread, vibes are off. Imma fap and then watch a joint.
Movement. Cinema.
NICE
Latin America = Quebec, Suriname, and Guyana
LATAM.png
Wonder what's the context for this image.
Yes, no and no.
Unserious gimmick
Gadonpaki's silence is really telling
I don't know who Aimee Lou is but i'd like to give her my Wood if you know what i mean, if you catch my drift.
His silence speaks volumes.
Don't jynx it, you might summon him.
This is not the flex you think it is, models are notorious for dating weird looking guys.
lol, who cares. If I'm a weird looking guy and models like me, why should I care for what dudes who don't date models think of me
Top 5:
Hannah and Her Sisters
Zelig
Broadway Danny Rose
Love and Death
The Purple Rose of Cairo
You shouldn't, and pretty based you scored models, but you were answering to a guy inquiring about your looks, and saying you date models doesn't tell us you're handsome.
Well, appearance is subjective, but I'm pretty sure that women find me attractive
no Harperkino Stardust
Was waiting for someone to mention Stardust haha
Meh, too Fellini wannabe, Woody is at his worst when he just blatantly tries to be Fellini or Bergman.
OK FILM YOU WILL NOT WATCH ANY FILM THAT ISNT LATIN AMERICAN FROM NOW ON
Post face and let us judge.
Harperbro <3
Theme song for you (her): youtu.be
Posting a neat lensing in the next post
Soviet blocks do make for interesting pictures
so since English has a very high percentage of Latin influence, should any country in the Americas with a predominantly English speaking population also be counted as Latin America
sí
No.
They should’ve just fucked, they were already emotionally cheating, might as well go all the way
Forgot flick
Who?
Watching a girl movie
Using girl terms like "emotionally cheating"
thought that screenshot was pic related for a second
In the Mood For Love is a cocktease movie for guys
Kek, i remember this thing, made me laugh back then.
There was a sex scene, they cut it from the film
WKW is certified girl cinema.
Will I enjoy or appreciate it if I never experienced a romantic relationship?
If you’re a guy that doesn’t like at least one girl movie you’re gay
yes
It’s sexy 60s chinese themed kino, hell it’s worth it just for the soundtrack
Name 3 girl movies, 1 girl flick and 1 girl sharthouse.
You can find it online with some effort. Fuck that gay posting shit.
Under the Tuscan Sun
Sex and The City
Sex and The City 2
Every WKW movie
left frame
horizon in the fucking middle
It's a very kinetic scene. One static shot can't do it enough justice.
my parents were slightly mean to me waaaahhhhh I must run away and commit crimes
Zappa fucking sucks
comedy is not Fritz's forte, but Maurice saves the day and when the movie gets good, it's really funny
maybe I wasnt expecting the supernatural third act
Again this filtering, lol
He’s objectively a great guitarist and composer but his smug ironic attitude ruins a lot of what would be good songs
Yeah I can only enjoy his more straightforward jazz fusion songs. Everything else just sounds like annoying theater kid music to me.
Rec me some Anon Babble comedies please, i want to watch more funnies and less saddies.
He's got so much different stuff that there's something for everybody.
To Be or Not To Be
English is a Germanic not a Romance language, so no.
we only watch suicidally depressed swedish lesbian movies here
not swedish, but first thing I thought of
Sun in the Last Days of the Shogunate (Bakumatsu taiyōden) 1957
I'm All Right Jack (1960) by the Boulting brothers
Dreyer is the father of slow cinema
Any Marx Brothers film
Duck Soup is the most popular, but I'm partial to Horse Feathers
Anon Babble ONLY APPROVES AV1 ENCODING
well lil' timmies, how many have you seen?

If you look at this poster from afar it looks like it says "Chud"

Lon Chaney
Thanks bros.
Seen it, great one.
Seen them all, Duck Soup is indeed by far the best.
I love this one so much. But I think you need to know some Japanese for a lot of the jokes to land
Hey, he scored the World's Greatest Sinner.

Toshiro Mifune was so fucking hot
To me that sounds gay.
Being gay and trying to watch these old movies is hard, there’s too many handsome men and I get all horny
We're all gay and horny here.
Who are the hottest guys in your opinion?
Japanese men used to be classically handsome. Now they all look twinks or incels. Sad!
I really enjoy watching criterion channel bonus videos of this hot Anon Babble mommy thirsting over Mifune
And Griffith was his father.
why are we talking about gringo films?

I only download films with audio tracks in

Thoughts on Victor Sjöström?
Loved his films when I watched them but can barely recall them at all, and I only saw them like 3-4 years ago.
One of the best movies of all time and it's about siscon. Malick is incredibly based. That locust swarm scene and the fire rising, high point of cinema.
I look like all of them.
Gymnopedie plays for the 26264th time
Wow, just wow, bravo Malle.
Silvana Mangano
Sold.
>Jean-Paul Belmondo
He listed Cassell and you're surprised by Belmondo?
That locust is now extinct
Belmondo is a gigachad, recognized in his time as a slayer.
F
dunno who that is
I know French broads are crazy about ugly men
You don't get BDE, but still, Belmondo was conventionally attractive.
