I get why many people didn't like because it represents Haneke going back to his most indecipherable films (Code Unknown, Caché, 73 Fragments, Benny's Video, Seventh Continent) while dealing with a somewhat different narrative structure than usual. It's extremely loosely told while being actually straightforward yet hijacked with any sorts of media after pretty much every "normal" scene for the first 70 minutes after it turns more into a melodrama even though there is very little melodramatic about the way the characters act.

On the other hand, I don't get why Haneke fans didn't write more about it. It's extremely detached with plenty of humor and as estranged and cold as it gets.

Haneke himself doesn't like to talk much about it either. He just shows it everywhere when he is a guest and said pretty much that he doesn't have anything to say anymore after this one and therefore doesn't plan to make a new film anytime soon.

wait did you watch it ? I could care less about the "visual" directors but this joint here is one hellova trip.

Even more hyped if its like his more abstract s*** Great to hear

@drjdeponytail i need to peep Convoy soon. Kristofferson is the mon

yes and no. It's def a family drama at it's core. a pretty weird one tho.

it’s a clossic

Kristofferson got clossics of every kind :datass:

An attempt was made. The song about derrier's had me howling but after that I just wanted to punch my own face repeatedly.

have you ever listened to Andromeda/did i ever rec them to you?

Not sure

heavy psych prog you might like, similar style as T2 to my ears. this one is the centerpiece:

the three canadians with the biggest impact on film are all pretty f***ing weird and disturbing (cronenberg, maddin, snow)

never seen any Egoyan but hes from my hood i gotta check it out

James Cameron's canadian

as is this future goat

oh yeah

"arthouse" cinema then

This is a silly delusion

hes doing ok

doubt his Dune will top Lynch's

Dune is so inpenetrable I don't know how he can film it for a wide audience without pissing off fans or turning off the casuals. I definitely think he's gonna lean more towards the nerds but I doubt he'll have the same camp and personality as Lynch had.

Listened to that Damien Rice album Arel recommend and it was a really pleasant record that’s basically just Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen, and Jeff Buckley worship. However I can tell it inspired some of the worst modern singer songwriters.

Try Exotica. That one's pretty great and experimental in the way it plays with narrative.

lmao idk why i even tried to discuss anything with you, should’ve known you’d give a bullshit 5 word reply you’re definitely the delusional one if you think you know my favorite artist better than i do

everybody who liked Fidelio’s post lmk so i can block you

Lordie gon Lordie

Realistically can get 28 lists if cheez and drj get their lists ready, and Very Based gets one too and @SufiCaughtWreck & @Versetti stop dodging my persistent harassment

Liked it for the memes
