I Hate The Film Canon: A Thread

[woops]

No YT links, what’s the point. I love Yves Montand’s dt’s scene and the way he pulls himself together to insert plot spoiler. GM

good init

 

[version]

Surprised nobodies tried to get at the Italians

I watched The Conformist recently and thought it was terrible.

good init

The heist soars, slight weirdo head copper for friction, even the train section where GMV escapes. Zero fat/filler too

Quiet, weighted, audacious robbery section, delicious. Don’t think Melville cracked a finale, kind of forgivable not wanting it to end

pulp new wave

Terminator 2 is embarrassing for all concerned.

so what nobody got anything harsh to say about Powell & Pressburger? i was gonna ask about Jean Pierre Melville but i suppose craner's blanket covering of "the french" does that.

no Bunuel haters?

What’s your issue with Powell & Pressburger and the Italians?

That’s the thing, the cinematography isn’t that good. Nowhere near Vittorio Storaro levels.

It was the template for The Phantom Menace. I noticed that Industrial Light & Magic were on the opening credits.
