Except I think it's incorrect to consider Haneke's trilogy Bressonian. I guess maybe in regards to lack of coverage and specific inserts but so many other filmmakers could just as easily stand in place. Haneke is deliberately guiding you (not pushing you, thankfully) towards a more uncomfortable tone whereas Bresson doesn't really provide the viewer with any concrete feelings most of the time and lets the audience decide.

And what he says about Secret Sunshine, and the scene where the woman meets her kid's abductor in prison -- man, that's the exact scene I always want to tell people about. One of the most intense moments I've ever seen. Whatever you think might happen in that moment -- well, what does happen is so simple, and so completely understandable, and yet it pulls the rug out from under her in ways you just couldn't have anticipated. It's brutal. Anyway: Great picks, Ari!

@@PALLETUSA Burning is probably my fave, but I really had no idea what SS was about when I started watching -- and it just continually surprised me. It at first looks like it's going to be a story about a woman coming to terms with the loss of her husband and learning to be a single-mom. Then it looks like it's going to turn into a missing-person thriller. But almost as soon as that possibility surfaces, it is dismissed, as the person is "found" sooner than we expect, and his abductor is arrested and sent to prison. So then it starts to turn into a story about a woman coming to terms with grief -- and in that, it becomes a really perceptive story about how a person who once was essentially athiest might be drawn to religion and might find meaning in that. However, that all builds up to the film's most powerful moment, when her newfound faith is utterly destroyed by a few simple words spoken without malice by her child's murderer. The way those words ring so true to the core of her faith, and yet also prove its undoing, just hit me really powerfully. Ultimately, the film ends up having some really interesting and nuanced views on religious-faith, and perhaps should be read as a criticism of religion overall; it's possible that the faith depicted in the film is essentially false and destructive, regardless of the temporary salve it provides for her. Anyway, overall, SS was a slow but intriguing watch which kept surprising me all the way through, and I liked the complicated viewpoints it expressed.

The communist style youth are EXACTLY like the Naz* youth were. Hollywood is out of touch with real life outside of the jetset class. Our prime minister loves identity politics, censorship, big central government, disarmament, collectivism, Islam, and all the other things H*tler liked. The Che people are just another iteration of the Nazis because it';s just authoritarian. Of course jet setter Soderberhg wants communism. Why wouldn't he?

He’s right about Che. A lot of the lack of attention may have to do with how it was distributed in 2 parts as a Spanish language movie about cuban guerrillas running around the jungle getting into shootouts and having small interactions for 4 hours. Easier to see it as a flex for Soderbergh than a mature well researched epic character study about the Cuban revolution and one of the most influential/controversial political figures of the late 20th century. Probably Benicio Del Toro’s greatest performance.

I'm a huge Malick fan... I might prefer _Tree Of Life_ and _The Thin Red Line_ but I've seen _The New World_ sooooo many times. It has an addictive quality that has kept me coming back and coming back and coming back - especially to experience those last 5 minutes all over again! 😍🥰🤩

@@hs4974 I’m confused about this as well… a little ironic calling Criterion picks pretentious. If you wanna split hairs about it then you could argue Criterion is “pretentious” in general compared to the mainstream film industry. Idk I think that word is just tossed around flippantly too much. Like what are some non pretentious Criterion films? Armageddon? Lol

Teshigahara didn’t stop to make films because he became a florist; but, yes, the Ikebana. In 1980, after the death of his father, Teshigahara became the third generation Iemoto of Sogetsu School, using bamboo at his large-scale solo exhibitions at several well known museums. And he also didn’t stop totally his work as a director because of that. He made more documentaries (and movies, too) after his father’s death.

He's the first one I heard to check the Piano Teacher, a masterful psych thriller that's reminds me of his 2 films. Daisies is a psychedelic trip that's also beautiful. Sasha Guitry did credit montages like that for every film he did. By filming Midsommar w Hungarian set designers, he definitely knew how to get the most of his $$. I think Midsommar showed how tyrannical western monogamy really is, among some really biting social commentary.

Same (you've got great taste, btw)! One of the few I haven't yet seen is Seventh Continent - and recently I've been watching the Haneke films I'd never seen before. Been hesitating to watch that one cause it just seems it's gonna be _particularly_ heavy... even for Haneke! All those others you named are among my favorites, as well. Hadn't seen _Woman In The Dunes_ in about 15 years and fell in love with it all over again about a month ago 😍🥰

Incredible! Actually speechless and immovable for a few minutes as the credits hit. Perfectly subversive and uncompromising ending, seems to simultaneously dare you to get up and leave & also not move a muscle. Hoping to go see it a couple more times and do my part to influence box office. I'm fairly apolitical but I do try and vote with my dollars and towards what deserves support. I'm sure there's viewers who lost patience with this one but I am firmly in the audience who only craves more of this and hopefully A24 will continue to let Aster & others grow their budgets. I would've happily stayed for a 4+ hour cut of this movie.
