What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

Straight up eye candy though, it's like jacking off my corneas. You should check out Ivan's Childhood.

Andrei Rublev is the only film of his that I felt was drawn out.

So in Solaris, you didn't find the 10 minute bit with stock footage of cars driving on a freeway to be drawn out?

Are you some sort of monk? I'm patient, but not that patient.

Bela Tarr though.

It's not that hard to watch things that are visually captivating imo. The car scene is an interesting sort of intermission/breather in the movie but is by and large unnecessary. That said I still think it looks nice. I put Stalker several notches higher than Solaris. I think it's his best alongside The Mirror.

Interesting. I agree that Ivan's childhood is probably his most linear film (and therefore least "tarkovsky-like"), everything after that starts to become more abstract. I did dig some parts of The mirror though, on a purely visceral level, didn't understand a thing about it. Same for most of his other movies, but he was such an original author you can't help but be captivated by his imagery. Maybe when I'm a bit older and smarter I'll give them all another try...

There's a 2 dollar theater where I live that always plays older movies. Sometimes they show recent ones but it's rare.

It's been over 10 years since I watched Stalker. From what I can remember, there was one particular scene that I liked. The three (?) men sit near some water and talk. One of them is floating on his back in the water or laying in very shallow water. Super foggy memory, but I remember that scene as being the one moment in the movie where I was feeling hopeful it would get better.

The pub scene is my fave though it's been a few years for me as well. The visual transition from the earlier scene is very blunt and it's literally dank as ****.

Frames for days
