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.

Some other ones I think fit the category would be Cold War, Roma, and Call Me By Your Name.Zogo posted:The following Wes Anderson films are perfectly meticulous: quote:A couple of older ones that are also impeccable: Electronico6 posted:Bong Joon-ho and Johnnie To are probably the closest thing to A.Kurosawa these days.

DorianGravy posted:Did older B-movies like Space Mutiny or Ator: the Fighting Eagle (in general, the sort of movies you find on MST3K) get theatrical releases, or were they straight-to-video? I was curious because of how blatantly Space Mutiny uses the special effects from Battlestar Galactica. Unless that was officially licensed, I can't see that flying for a theatrical release.  Longer answer is that before the era of the corporate multiplex, there were more theaters, each with a slightly more curated lineup. Here's a newspaper clipping from 1982 showing the drive-in theater offerings in the Pittsburgh area. Even from just one weekend you can sort of get an idea of which ones are more mainstream and which ones would show Ator.

Narzack posted:I just finished Vampires vs The Bronx, and I liked it a lot. In it, the boys watch Blade and kind of seem to idolize him. Of course this makes sense, now, but I never really considered how important a character like that could be to young black dudes growing up. And that got me thinking, that as a dude who grew up in white as hell western Pennsylvania, I don't know poo poo about the black experience as it relates to pop culture. Does anyone have any good book recommendations or anything for me to read? Of course it's just one branch of a pretty big tree.
