It was supposed to be Dolly Parton's Jolene in the original script. They was even a court room scene about them analysing the use of the song but Dolly wouldn't given them the rights to use it so they had to change the song and rewrite that scene.
What they went for is unironically better because it’s so fricking annoying and when they play it in court i burst out laughing. Jolene is a funny choice too, but not quite as good.
Also weird that Swann Arlaud isn’t a chinaman, i was shocked.
>Jolene is a funny choice too, but not quite as good.
Considering Jolene is about a woman begging another woman not to steal her partner it's probably more appropriate although possibly a bit too on the nose.
What a stupid name for a fantastic movie.
I saw it dubed over in portuguese, so ironicslly it lost all the multilingual and "lost in translation" conflict
Problem is very few people watched The Staircase. I think a lot of people would have made this comparison if they’d seen it. It’s definitely the better of the two.

Both stories about a mystery falling death that cast a light on the shortcomings of the criminal justice system and the human tendency to create an explanation/story when one doesn’t clearly exist? I don’t think they’re “completely” different.
Can someone give me a pozz rating out of 10 for this flick?
I’m considering watching it with my gf tonight and I don’t want to be ringing my bell the whole time.
didn't she make a point of it being "only one"? She slept with her multiple times but only her. In my book only sex with a man really counts, lesbian aren't real relationships
>didn't she make a point of it being "only one"?
Only one she didn't tell her husband about. She was open about the others. >lesbian aren't real relationships
If your wife is having sex with a woman and you aren't permitted to join in or at least watch you're being cucked and by someone without a dick so twice the emasculation.
I thought the only dumb part of the movie was the kid giving the dog the aspirin and the dog gets miraculously healed with splashing some water in his mouth
Why does it ruin it? Also it's ambiguous. Like Inception. I was jumping in my seat at some of the last shots like "this is the spinning top shot! spinning top shot!"
Yeah that song was fricking terrible.
Decent movie though not great or anything. It felt like a movie length episode of your average british crime drama on TV.
If you read between the lines her life would have been ruined. The general public would know she drove her husband to suicide by being a selfish b***h and as her child grew up he'd slowly resent her more and more too.

Also well done Messi for winning Palme d’Og

Well yeah that’s what I mean. And also that one traditional interpretation is that Jolene represents death. Ironic and all, but a bit too direct.
Great movie. The court scenes were kino. Hope to see Swann Arlaud in more stuff
>Swann Arlaud
same, he was a qt
>looks like a Swan
>called "Swann"
wtf?
he has an incredibly kino look
He was in Ozon's movie about Catholic abuse victims all grown up. Didn't look as kino until Triet's direction.
inevitable american remake when
Unnecessary because they speak English most of the movie
About 40% of it is in languages other than English which is unironically too much for most Americans.
What a stupid name for a fantastic movie.

>What a stupid name for a fantastic movie.
what's wrong with the name
Frick you, the title is great. I bet you watch movies where the title is just the MCs name.
I think it's a play on Anatomy of a Murder, the 3 hour one with Jimmy Stewart defending the murderer.
Check out the porn parody anatomy of my balls
The doggo saved her
I like the realistic linguistic touches movies like this show.
Another was The Hunt where Mads and his Polish gf's only common language was English.
I thought this was mid.
Pic related does basically the same thing but far better.

Completely different

>“

lmfao
Meh. it reminded me of the movies I watched in the middle of the night on PBS when I was a kid.
I wanted this movie to win Best Picture just so the drums would play.

its about trans rights
I thought the main actress looked like an mtf trannoid. Cheers for the heads up.
No problem.
Lmao
What’s so funny?
Checked btw
You’re lying to him and it made me lol
I’m not either of the anons in that conversation. It just didn’t seem like that funny of an interchange to me
I’m
but not
It was funny to me THOUGH
Funny how? Like a clown?
Did you watch the movie?
Sounds like you're too moronic to enjoy real films. Stick to shootouts and car crashes.
The main character makes a cuckold of her failure husband (with his begrudging consent) but that was about it.
You can't get cucked by another woman.
Didn't she have a series of lovers including men and women?
didn't she make a point of it being "only one"? She slept with her multiple times but only her. In my book only sex with a man really counts, lesbian aren't real relationships
>didn't she make a point of it being "only one"?

I give it a 7 by 20th century standards.
More like a 2 by modern standards though.
>zoomers need trigger warnings before watching a movie
pathetic
I thought the only dumb part of the movie was the kid giving the dog the aspirin and the dog gets miraculously healed with splashing some water in his mouth
Sort of ruins it when you realize the boy lied, the mom lied and the lawyer covered it up
>the mom lied and the lawyer covered it up
almost like they're trying to win the case or something...
Why does it ruin it? Also it's ambiguous. Like Inception. I was jumping in my seat at some of the last shots like "this is the spinning top shot! spinning top shot!"
The director and the actor who played the lawyer signed a letter to stop cannes from showing a movie of Johnny Depp.
She even said that Amber Heard losing was proof of misogyny in United States.
Yeah that song was fricking terrible.

kino movie
The dog did it
She drove him to suicide himself
If you read between the lines her life would have been ruined. The general public would know she drove her husband to suicide by being a selfish b***h and as her child grew up he'd slowly resent her more and more too.
Kino hair
A catchy, funky groove from the German band, esp in live performance. The sound mix made it so menacing, like the inner chaos of a male b***h.
