Your Favorite Avant-Garde Cinema
Thread title = what you post.
I absolutely adore The Love of Zero by Robert Florey. It's a quirky little love story that has it's roots in German Expressionism which I've also always loved as a genre. |
The Blood of a Poet by Jean Cocteau
Enchanting little film, early surrealism from 1930. Last Year at Marienbad by Alain Resnais from 1961 The most hypnotic and dream like film I've seen. Thoroughly visual and cinematic take on memory and perception. Excellent film! To skip the opening credits jump on 3 min. mark... I think I already posted this hilarious user review from imdb, but it's so great and to the point actually, that I'm gonna do it again: Quote:

Wow, this The Blood of a Poet is really something. Quite enjoying it.
|
Yeah :)
And The Love of Zero is really interesting. I haven't seen it before, hell, I don't believe I even heard of it before. I have to get on a silent film kick one of these days... |
a little bit more modern... |
I wouldn't call Last Year at Marienbad Avant-Garde but I love it nevertheless. French new wave is fascinating.
Cremaster Cycle is beautiful. All you need is a bit of patience to watch it ;) And I really like this: Maya Deren - Meshes of the Afternoon |

Here's one of my favourite avant-garde films, and one of my all time favourites in films as a whole. I've seen it countless times and still love it as much as I did when I first saw it. Begotten (1990) Probably NSFW, unless your boss is cool with you watching disembowelments, post mortem handjobs, etc. |
