These are (almost) all films i have given 5 stars to compiled into a list in (as best as i could) order.
feel free to share thoughts, feelings questions and any recommendations !!
i only got into film this past year and am deeply obsessed with expanding my knowledge and learning/studying as much as i can!
What are some of your favourite films you’d like other directors to have had a go at or had seen in their style;
For example some of mine include
Boogie Nights - David Lynch, there are so many Lynchian aspects in this film and no one talks about it, most specifically that whole first house party around 20 mins in, is SO LYNCHIAN it’s insane. The overdose, the guys wife getting fucked on the floor while he’s talking to someone about work, the producers and guys in suits - it’s so mulholland drive it’s crazy. It would be cool to see boogie nights fully in his style and the topic is so lynchian, young attractive man is carried into the industry by cold men and brought up until his ego shatters etc
I’d also love to see Lynch take on The Virgin Suicides. something about it has always given me a Lynch feel, maybe it’s uncanny atmosphere
other films would be Lars von trier taking on Solaris. it would be interesting to see how they’re styles collide especially as he is so influenced by tarkovsky and yet they’re so differnt at times. and also he loves documenting female suffering which would be fitting.
Haneke taking on a von trier would also be fascinating, maybe something like breaking the waves or Bunuels’ Belle de jour
Gregg Araki trying out thelma and louise would be super dope
Bergman adapting portrait of a lady on fire,
Wong Kar wai x Taxi driver ???
what do you guys think
recommendations, thoughts and questions all welcome on my favourites/5 stars!
Very hot take but i truly believe that LVT is the best director alive today and has (for the majority of his career) only released major masterpieces.
I think Von trier has been deeply misunderstood throughout his career and been failed by the public for their lack of understanding how fascinating and complex his films are. Ofc he’s had his controversies but i truly believe that he is a good person (with lots of personal issues ofc) and when you listen to those who work with him 95% of the time they say he is a wonderful misunderstood genius. His art is so interesting provocative and esoteric that i fully believe people just fail to bother to understand him.
share your thoughts though
feel free to add any comments or ask any questions. would also love any recommendations just based on my favourites
This is rather a niche problem however, over this year i’ve played
“Laura palmers theme - From Twin peaks” about very large amount (I would estimate top 10 most played songs by me this year) however when i look at the replay i notice its absence, Now the original twin peaks theme from the same album is not absent.
What else ive noticed is anytime i ask siri to play “Laura Palmers theme” he complete ignores the request and either plays something entirelry different or something from the same album
anyone else have this problem or no if it’s fixable??
