The title of this thread is kinda depressing, wish we could change it.

Kwaidan, 1964, colour, 183 minutes (4 separate stories). looks lovely and i think the audio would work on its own, just don't listen after dark.
― koogs, Thursday, 18 April 2013 21:04 (eleven years ago) link
one of the greats
― Pope Rusty I (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 18 April 2013 21:23 (eleven years ago) link
coming back to kwaidan i have a question. the answer is probably 'of course, you idiot' but hey. the first segment, 'the black hair', at the end the music and sound effects bear no relation to his stumbling around. is it meant to be like that? makes the whole thing feel horribly disconcerting, which i guess is the point.
― koogs, Monday, 6 May 2013 10:43 (eleven years ago) link
yes
― clouds, Monday, 6 May 2013 12:57 (eleven years ago) link
coincidently, i found this, from the same week i watch kwaidan, talking about the music by toru takemitsu, mostly of the third part, hoichi the earless. http://www.20jazzfunkgreats.co.uk/wordpress/2013/04/kwaidan/

Naruse's Late Chrysanthemums is on film4 at 11am on thursday (uk)
― koogs, Monday, 14 October 2013 13:40 (ten years ago) link
and the announcer mentioned that the next two thursday morning's will also feature films by Naruse. tv episode guide says the next one is Floating Clouds so i'm guessing the one after that is When a Woman Ascends the Stairs
which saves me £21 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mikio-Naruse-Collection-Hideko-Takamine/dp/B000WM9WL4/ref=sr_1_1

meanwhile at 9 o'clock when i'm home to watch something they'll be showing a fucking comic book movie no doubt

(i've seen 8 of that last list. Floating Clouds is on next week and i plan on picking up the others. 2 aren't available here though (although one is available in french))
― koogs, Thursday, 17 October 2013 20:54 (ten years ago) link
You'd expect Ozu to be shown as his reputation is so high not Naruse so its terrific that Film4 are doing it actually!
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 17 October 2013 22:06 (ten years ago) link
yeah, this is the first time that any Naruse films have ever been broadcast on a UK TV channel
― Ward Fowler, Friday, 18 October 2013 07:28 (ten years ago) link
in a slot usually reserved for Gary Cooper's lesser movies and the odd Gainsborough bodice-ripper
― chimped the keeper (Noodle Vague), Friday, 18 October 2013 07:36 (ten years ago) link
no, that 11am on thursday is normally a foreign film. lots of ghibli stuff etc. lots of the films for that Story Of Film season got broadcast there. but usually they are repeats of foreign things that have been on elsewhen (often v late at night)
― koogs, Friday, 18 October 2013 08:28 (ten years ago) link
on the 10th, for example, it was Monsieur Lazhar (french canadian). on the 3rd, Las Acacias (argentinian), the thrusday before that The World of Apu (indian), the week before that part 2 of the Apu trilogy, Aparajito...

You can do it day by day on the iPlayer site, though it only has the upcoming three days and is time+title only.http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/tv/film4/20131019
― stet, Friday, 18 October 2013 09:53 (ten years ago) link
yeah, i found somewhere else. i also adblocked the hell out of the daily listing page - http://www.film4.com/ontv and now it loads without the weird pauses whilst something i don't care about refreshes.
in on-topic news, the above has Kiki's Delivery Service listed for two thursday's time where i'd be expecting Woman Ascends to be if they were doing the trilogy, like they announced. but i realise that might change, or it might be on later due to content.
― koogs, Friday, 18 October 2013 10:14 (ten years ago) link

here's a review of the two Sono films playing NY... Himizu had me shaken throughout, among the best I've seen this year or last.

haha, "love exposure" is more than just "odd"! it's a spectacle!
― clouds, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 22:48 (ten years ago) link
sono is probably the most interesting filmmaker working today (not counting malick as he's on the way out, shane carruth hasn't done enough for me to really tell). (weerasethakul is up there too)
― clouds, Wednesday, 19 March 2014 22:50 (ten years ago) link
only sono i've seen is Cold Fish, which was a p good, slightly overextended, serial-psycho killer movie
― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 20 March 2014 09:08 (ten years ago) link
definitely check out noriko's dinner table and strange circus, then love exposure if you're feeling daring.
― clouds, Thursday, 20 March 2014 12:26 (ten years ago) link
I'm p sure i watched the first hour of Love Exposure a few years ago
― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 20 March 2014 12:33 (ten years ago) link
I hated Cold Fish, but adored Love Exposure. Oh, and Strange Circus is pretty great, too. I can't wait to see Himizu!
― Cherish, Thursday, 20 March 2014 13:01 (ten years ago) link
Land of Hope played at last years PIX, and I pretty much loved it. But I have family who fled Fukushima, so it hit close to home. Had never seen a Sono before. He has another, apparantly more horrific, playing this year, and I'll see it.
