How do you feel about Japanese film?

No Kurosawa, no Miike. no Ozu, no Mizoguchi, no Sion Sono? What the fuck are you waiting for?

>Sono
Sad he got #MeToo'd and will never work again.

Damn, I forgot I’ve seen Seven Samurai and Good Morning. Liked them both.

what's your fav mizoguchi? i think oharu for me but still have others to see

Crucified Lovers and The Story of the Late Chrysanthemums are both sublime. Wonderful movies with enormous emotional intensity.

Been meaning to watch The Story of the Last Chrysanthemums for yonks, might need to bump it up the watchlist

His movies leave you emotionally floored. They look beautiful as well. Make sure to watch the Criterion version

For me it's Terayama.

Might be of interest, found a long biographical documentary about him.

As arousing as this is, I don't know whether its photominipulated or not.

Felt he'd been mixed lately in his filmography.

>long biographical documentary about him.
Great find user, will watch! Thx

thanks for the tip i'll try and find a copy or just get a rip
didn't know about this thanks and agreed on sono being mixed lately though i've always found him to be like that but i feel his better stuff is getting more mediocre

Emperor Tomato Ketchup is child porn.

The way they overplay emotion is jarring as shit and I'll never take them seriously. Like, western movies have actors that mirror what people tend to act like in real life, but look at how overly emotional Asians are in film vs how dead they are in real life. It's kind of fucked.

Rarbg has a 10 gig remastered version w/ 3 seeders

Your welcome!

Not alot of people seem to have seen this political movie he did in the late 40s despite the rest of his films being well known.

I found a copy on youtube: youtube.com/watch?v=weUumIE_4mU

didn't he walk back on these after the war or am i confusing him with someone else? Masaki Kobayashi maybe?

Japanese cinema really resonates with me for some reason. Something very lingering, poetic and sometimes magical about their films while retaining a sense of humanity. I also enjoy the more niche, disjointed, spastic films from Tsukamoto and his ilk, though.

this is on my backlog too would you recommend directors or theatrical cut?

Haven't watched this yet but I watched one of Yoshida's other films, Heroic Purgatory, and I liked it.

Definitely the director's cut.
