You're gonna have to do it eventually so

The lighting is immaculate all natural. definitely watch at night.

You ever see Stan films on the big screen?

yall try watching a wang bing doc in one sitting it ain't happening

@rowjaystan

No but I did Jeanne Dielman in one sitting while riding my exercise bike

those oldies i usually bang out in one shot too. theyre generally only a bit over an hour anyway. they're the best at night or on rainy days :datass:

Old Hollywood Film Noir

The Shining I think

goat film but honestly I can't imagine this combination working

I don't have the attention span for something that slow and long unless I'm on shrooms or doing a little exercise/stretch here and there

It's one of those recliner bikes so you just lay back and pedal pretty casually

The best is waking up on a rainy weekend and putting on an Ozu or something before breakfast even

aight getting back into watching folms tonight.

criterion channel doesn't have nearly as good a selection as filmstruck tf

what are some good streaming services yall use?

The trick I find is just getting into a meditative state. Then I can just relax and sort of enjoy the silence and the image itself. I have pretty bad ADD so slow films are a nice break from it all

Gonna watch this Yang I've been putting off for the last 5 years

Yeah most of my favourite s*** is all pretty long and slow and I know how to trance out but 4 hours with a director whose style I haven't assimilated is tough

If it was Tsai, PTA, Tark, Bergman, Mizoguchi, Tarr or one of the other slow cinema mastas I already love then 4 hours would be nothing

Zodiac was cool

Bouta make sumn to eat and peep The Master

Nvm that s*** over 2 hours lol

well also Jeanne Dielman is unique in that I think it's sort of Akerman's intention to bore the f*** out of you to mimic the ennui the main character feels.

the existential dread is very real in that folm

hits different in quarantine

It'd be a good morning movie

Also I rely on music to keep me lucid and I don't think there was much? Been a few years

Damn quarantine revisit would've been hard

I think all of the music, if there was any, was diegetic, so maybe playing out of a radio/playing on a television, etc. I can't really remember though

No Country for old Men is a good example of a film that doesn't have a soundtrack but still works really well. I think it all depends.

great movie

Yeah that's the word I was thinking of

There was no music in No Country I feel like there was a score for the landscape shots and definitely the chase scenes. Or do you mean soundtrack like songs not compositions?

Theres none at all iirc besides ambiance sounds like birds chirping etc. It makes a lot of the scenes way more tense imo
