I just started watching L'avventura, and the framing of even the simplest of scenes is just impeccable - reminds me of Kurosawa or Tarkovsky. Now my temptation is to go all "they don't make em like this any more," but I'm sure they do.

So my question is - what are the most old school films today in terms of their blocking and framing? I thought of a few that may fit the bill - Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Pain & Glory, and The Lighthouse - but I'm sure there are plenty of others.

Bong Joon-ho and Johnnie To are probably the closest thing to A.Kurosawa these days.

No Bong caps, but some Johnnie To


The Mission(1999)


PTU(2003)


Throw Down(2004)


Drug War(2012)


Blind Detective(2013)


Third one is a cheat cause the whole movie is dedicated to A.Kurosawa and Sanshiro Sugata.
