Edvard Munch is one of my favourite films, but this very webm has put me off engaging with him any further. Do you have to be some kind of radical to enjoy this one?
I loved the kind of dual-aspect approach in Edvard Munch with the impersonal late 19th century history mingling with the personal life of Munch. I get the sense that we'll get little of that here, and I'll be really annoyed by that kind of "art is immoral when it's not advocating for utopia and utopia is yet to be achieved" hectoring that I'm getting from this webm.
Loved this one. Actually did a kind of biopic double feature with it and Edvard Munch which was would've been a real endurance test if they weren't both so good. Speaking of long Gance, is La Roue worth checking out?
I was very impressed with it. It was my first Hamaguchi and I still think that it's his best. I've seen the "hyperlink cinema" tag applied to it and I think that that's kind of apt. It's very down to earth in that it's about four middle-aged women friends coming to reflect on their lives after taking this little seminar where some secrets come out. You have all this space to run with with the runtime, giving lots of detail in showing all these characters moving in and out of situations and interacting, with certain aspects of their personalities becoming more prominent or receding, and people who have only been discussed by certain characters suddenly emerging and making you question what's been said about them. Quite straightforward slow and meditative, but sophisticated and surprisingly hypnotic.
And if the runtime scares you too much, there's an intermission so it's easy to split into two well.
The film you want is called 'The Satin Slipper.' It's a Portuguese director's slow, meandering mid-80's adaptation of a famous French play from the 1920's (Le Soulier de satin). The play itself is set in the age of Spanish conquest, but the characters are used to depict themes of classical mythology and religion through the Spanish colonial project, which is then filtered through the experience of interwar France (though modern France is never directly referenced).
The film adaptation is done with relatively cheap/minimalist sets, rather than big Hollywood sets, and settles into a slow trancelike rhythm after a while. It is 410 minutes long:
>La Roue (1923) >Les Misérables (1934) >The 47 Ronin (1941) >Eros + Massacre (1969) >The Falls (1980) >Aurora (2010) >Mysteries of Lisbon (2010) >The Woman Who Left (2016)
all great films that are over 3 hours and have less than 10k watches on letterboxd
Thanks heaps. All of these look pretty interesting.
>La Roue (1923)
On my watchlist. In the spirit of the thread's theme, do I go with the longest reconstruction (one that I currently have), or am I dealing with a Greed situation?
>The Falls (1980)
Seen it and loved it. Love Greenaway in general, really. Can't not mention how kino he is.
>The Woman Who Left (2016)
Is this a good introduction to Diaz? I took a mental note on Evolution of a Filipino Family just due to the sheer insanity of its runtime, but I've been too daunted to ever actually approach it.
for La Roue, I watched the 4hr26min cut that was on Kanopy. there were some parts missing from what I remember, but nothing that really affected the flow of the film. The Woman Who Left is still the only Diaz film I've seen and I thought it was great, so I'd say it's a good introduction. I'll get to some of his longer films one day

God tier taste, lad.
>I don't care about quality, I just want more of it
Americ**t detected.
I said not too fussed about GENRE, moron. It's more or less implicit in asking for a recommendation that I want it to be good.
Seething Amerilard detected.
Seething zoomer with TikTokifed attention span detected.
The extended version of Fellowship of the Ring. Or Lawrence of Arabia. Whichever.

8hrs & 20mins
Is this good, been mulling it
You don't care. You just want three extra large scoops of slop.
