Japanese cinema really resonates with me for some reason. Something very lingering, poetic and sometimes magical about their films while retaining a sense of humanity. I also enjoy the more niche, disjointed, spastic films from Tsukamoto and his ilk, though.
Not alot of people seem to have seen this political movie he did in the late 40s despite the rest of his films being well known.

Interesting. His filmography was extensive, lots of creative energy and I still haven't seen this one

As arousing as this is, I don't know whether its photominipulated or not.

Felt he'd been mixed lately in his filmography.

The way they overplay emotion is jarring as shit and I'll never take them seriously. Like, western movies have actors that mirror what people tend to act like in real life, but look at how overly emotional Asians are in film vs how dead they are in real life. It's kind of fricked.

Have they ever made a good live-action sci-fi movie? Everything I've seen looks like low budget trash, outside of the occasional surprisingly quality movie like the og Godzilla or Shin Godzilla. And I'm not even really a kaiju movie. Seems like most of the sci-fi shit they make is either kaijushit or tokushit.
yeah i was a bit hyperbolic, shame about kon and miyazaki is a goner so we're languishing in the saccharine mediocrity of people like shinkai. at least a silence voice was good. need to check out mamoru hosoda oh and masaaki yuasa did some good stuff too (mind game and night is short walk on girl)
Never heard of this but I'll check this and 964 Pinocchio out. Especially since I forgot about how much I loved Tetsuo: The Iron Man. and even that's pretty low budget.
I had a Samurai phase back when I was 16 or so. Pretty kino if you ask me. I remember thinking to myself that Kurosawa was a better screenwriter than Shakespeare just to find out that both Ran and Throne of blood was based on his work (didn't read those in school)
how does this one end? I saw a japanese movie lately about a weird neighbor that hypnotizes people. forgot the name, but I thought it would have a bad ending like a lot of these type films have. surprisingly it wasn't that depressing.
The whole movie is a downward spiral. It hits rock bottom and then just sort of lingers for about ten more minutes. I thought it was a decent movie overall, but it was a bit long in the tooth. There was a subplot that didn't really go anywhere, and of course it suffers from "Japanese Fourth Act" syndrome like I said, but it was pretty refreshing how gritty it was willing to go.
made the film of the decade so far (drive my car)
Go back to your containment thread.
I like their actresses
>those thick child-bearing hips and thighs
I must resist
God speed anon
>child bearing
She would crush that child as it was born
same
Code?
avistaz has freeleech
disturbing lack of white males in it
I’ve never seen one live action Japanese film.
No Kurosawa, no Miike. no Ozu, no Mizoguchi, no Sion Sono? What the frick are you waiting for?
>Sono
Sad he got #MeToo'd and will never work again.
Damn, I forgot I’ve seen Seven Samurai and Good Morning. Liked them both.
what's your fav mizoguchi? i think oharu for me but still have others to see
Crucified Lovers and The Story of the Late Chrysanthemums are both sublime. Wonderful movies with enormous emotional intensity.
Been meaning to watch The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums for yonks, might need to bump it up the watchlist
His movies leave you emotionally floored. They look beautiful as well. Make sure to watch the Criterion version
Might be of interest, found a long biographical documentary about him.

Used to be the best around. Not so much nowadays
We're tired of pretending it's not kino
For me it's Terayama.
Emperor Tomato Ketchup is child porn.

My favorite Jap kino.
this is on my backlog too would you recommend directors or theatrical cut?
Definitely the director's cut.
Haven't watched this yet but I watched one of Yoshida's other films, Heroic Purgatory, and I liked it.

unfortunately the best sci-fi is in anime (paprika and girl who leapt through time)
Well I wouldn't go that far but yes, anime does sci-fi (and 'genre' in general) much better. I'll give it to the weebs there.
And yes, Paprika was damned good. If more anime was like that, I'd probably watch more of it.

it should probably tell you how much i'm out of the loop when I have no idea who most of those people are.
But yes, losing Kon was a tragedy.
I'm guessing they don't want to risk that much money only to lose out to the latest installment of a 30 year old space robot movie.
Tesuo Iron Man
Clone returns home
Freaking Kino
That + Hara Kiri + Yojimbo
The Holy Kinology of kinorai kino.

Tampopo is kino. I love that movie.
Pretty much every Japanese movie I've seen lately would have been better if they ended fifteen minutes earlier. I don't get it.

I like it especially their new wave stuff
It's kino
