Doctor Teeth posted:I've had Solaris sitting on my shelf for ~4 years and haven't found the time to watch it. I really should get around to it at some point. How does it compare to other Tarkovsky movies? It's one of the best, for sure. Gorgeous, thick visuals. It's a good "fever dream" movie.

The train in Stalker is pretty good but future Japan is hard to beat. It just needs some vaporwave.Coaaab posted:I never understood the internet complaints about Solaris being a slower movie than 2001, the length felt about the same to me when comparing them in my mind as an undergrad. But then I get to Zerkalo a couple weeks later and I think it took me well over 3 hours to get through that 90 minute movie because I didn't understand what the hell was going on. I actually like The Mirror the most of Tarkovsky's works, it's a beautifully emotional tone poem.

Solaris is amazing and just as unique as films like 2001 or Brazil, because Tarkovsky is all over it, he didn't compromise any of his filmmaking style when he decided to do science fiction. I wish Tarkovsky had jumped around different genres a little bit more like Kubrick did, I'd love to see what he would have done with horror or a gangster movie, etc.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the Solaris dvd have an easter egg button that shows the clip where the midget runs out the door?

Oh, one more Solaris thing: While he was making it Kurosawa was in the USSR at the same time making Derzu Uzala. He asked if he could meet Tarkovsky and it was arranged. He went to the space station set and asked to left left alone and just walked around it by himself for an hour. Later that day they went out drinking and Tarkovsky got very drunk and got up and started loudly singing the theme to 7 Samurai.

The opening scenes of Solaris at the house where they play the tape of the interview are probably my favorite. The tranquility of the house and its surroundings combined with the bizarre, Lovecraftian account of the pilot is such an awesome way to set the stage for a science fiction movie.

The ending to Solaris hit me like a ton of bricks because I watched it a couple days or so after my dad passed away. It's on the list of Criterion Films That Made Me Cry Like a Babby along with The Thin Red Line (it's too beautiful ok). Edit: I'm binging through Sam Fuller this week and I think South Side Pickup is my favorite so far. Gorman Thomas fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Dec 8, 2016 |

Seeing Naked Kiss on 16mm in a crowded tiny theater full of people who were super into it was a revelatory experience.

I watched The Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor last week. I love how all the weird touches are just how Fuller genuinely believes a movie should be.

Fight, don't fight. It doesn't matter. If every cut is a lie, then surely every fist thrown is as well.

Raxivace posted:I have that on blu-ray. I really need to sit down and give that a good watch. I saw it for the first time about a year ago when the restoration came out and it blew me away. Maybe a top 10 crime movie for me now, easily my favorite of the admittedly few movies I've seen by Wim Wenders (I think I'm the one person who doesn't really care for Wings of Desire).

So, there's a Facebook group called The Criterion Completion, all about collecting Criterions. I knew there were people who were obsessed with collecting every CC release with little regard for the film itself, but I didn't know were THIS MANY of them. I've seen multiple people refer to a release by its spine number instead of its title. And you look at a lot of their enormous collections and see half of them still shrink wrapped.

I've just happened to have seen way more Truffaut than Godard, but I like them both a lot. There's even a tremendous amount of aesthetic and thematic symmetry between 'em, so why choose? Like, the closest analogy I can think of is Argento to Fulci. Also, Goodbye to Language was a trip, I really got a thrill by it.
