Useless twat opinions from everybody's favorite British coffee shop revolutionary!
Good stuff OP.

I cannot recommend Jan Svankmejer enough

He's a prolific surrealist Czech stop-motion animator that likes to dabble with Freud a bit (see his version of Alice in Wonderland, Alice)

time for gentle thread necromancy.

today i'll tell you about very heavy and morbid movie about andrey rublev - the great 15th-century russian icon painter. the movie consists of seven chapters that tells their own story of medieval russia and their people. you not gonna be entertained by this movie, so if you decided to chill behind the screen, this is a wrong pick. anyone who seen "red beard" by akira kurosawa will understand me.
this movie to you would be more like a journey into the world that american culture never experienced.

it was made in 1966

The casting of the bell, it's amazing. This is early Tarkovsky as well, right?

Kull the Conqueror posted:

It was his second feature film, and it had the respect of everyone but Goskino, meaning the state completely screwed anyone out of ever getting to see it for a long time because it was the furthest thing from socialist realism.

Sure, and honestly it seems a bit open about showing how arbitrary figures of authority are in cracking down. The village joker that just gets randomly chosen then knocked out and taken away.
