Holko 9,532 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 This metaphorical scene toward the end of Apa (Father), 1966. All throughout the movie, the main character thinks about his father who died near the end of WWII and he only has few memories of; he fantasises, idolises, makes up stories for other people until he himself can't quite recall what was real and what wasn't. Only when grown up can he admit this to himself and face it, then in this scene he goes on a whim to swim across the Danube so he can finally struggle and achieve something himself, for himself instead of living and making himself live in the shadow (real or made up) of his father. Then as he mulls this over, the camera pans up and we see 100 other people also swimming the same way, showing he's not alone, the movie's representing that entire fatherless generation.

Holko 9,532 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Bizalom (Confidence), 1979. It's about a woman near the end of WWII whose husband (unbeknownst to her) has ties to the underground movement against the ruling nazi allies, and when there's a chance he's been found out, she's suddenly given a new identity and moved into a rented room in an old couple's house with a stranger (also married) who is "her" husband according to the cover story. Relationship dynamics change, they grow closer while pretending, become lovers, but they both have their baggage and trust issues to carry too. It even made it into the final 5 nominees for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. I'm going through a selection of this director's films for the first time and I think more's to come in this thread. When his signature quote on the box is "there is a single thing no other art is capable of, only film, and that is showing on the living human face emotion as it is born or changes", you know you're in for a treat.

Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Laurence Olivier in Vienna: Somewhere behind him in the third picture (on Kohlmarkt) is the secondary shop of the Gramola company, where I bought many of my earliest CDs in the 90s (mostly Deutsche Gramophon discs for what would today be about €6, but also the Morgan/Stromberg recording of The Egyptian at one point. Although I don't know when they opened that shop, and they've since closed it at some point during (probably) the last 10 years (their main shop around the corner on Graben still exists, somewhere on the right in the second picture).

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 A couple of gorgeous all-timers, no doubt. Even these stills don't really do the films justice.

Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I've still only seen The Man Who Wasn't There back when it was playing in theatres, long before I became familiar with Roger Deakins, but I do remember some striking images. Probably the first time I was consciously aware of cinematography while watching a film. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,378 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I saw both The Man Who Wasn't There and Ghost World in the cinema in 2001 and have a crush on Scarlett Johansson ever since I haven't revisited TMWWT since, but I'm itching to go through the Coens entire discography at some point (there are some I've never seen and most I've only seen once) so look forward to seeing it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film that made me sit up and take notice of cinema as more than just a background to making out, was THE TOWERING INFERNO. For me it's still the best photographed fire, put on screen. I noticed Deakins, when I saw 1984. I wondered how they got everything so "washed-out", so I researched bleach bypass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,532 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 So, we have a 1983 cult rock opera, King Stephen, the original outdoors one-time production of which was released as a movie, which so far I've only seen in a youtube-uploaded version, a 4:3 cropped DVD transfer from a faded, darkened, bad quality print with serious speed and pitch and skipping issues for the audio. Only newer worse productions play on TV nowadays and no new DVD or anything came out. Then yesterday I find a brand new 2019 restoration of it on our new local streaming service and... holy crap. It actually has colours and range and details and quality... and great sound! https://imgur.com/QWO2UIF Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
