I did see Sweetgrass, sans commentary. Haven't seen the one about the auto shops in Metsland.

wait, what is this? it sounds interesting. this is the leviathan about men who work on boats?

more about the dying fish flopping around on them

yeah the men on boats are just part of the mix (literally and figuratively).
if you can get your hands on a DVD of sweetgrass, the commentary is really great and fills in a lot of the ellipses in the film itself. really deepened my appreciation of it.
the auto shops one, Foreign Parts, is also terrific and at least as of a few months ago was on Netflix.

right but it's the same leviathan then?that movie was great
i'd like to see some of these others

Foreign Parts might be my favorite out of the whole bunch, maybe just because I'm a city guy.
I'm unaware of another film named Leviathan, except for an upcoming Russian film that hasn't even made it to festivals yet.

I was toward the back for Leviathan, wearing an outpatient protective mask. Did p much nothing for me.

I'll watch anything the SEL release. Sweetgrass was very close to being my ideal documentary film.

i'm still fussily not-totally-1000% on these guys, yet, but found stretches of this really special & was kinda swayed into it by the end. the musical, tuning sequence was really beautiful.
nb i can't imagine watching this at home.

haven't seen a second time, but prefer the three metal bros and the two ladies eating ice cream.

Sweetgrass is one of my favorite movies of the past 5-10(-15?) years. The excerpt of Leviathan I saw did not convince me to go in on the full length. Manakamana I wanted to see, but never got around to.
― benbbag, Thursday, 18 September 2014 20:36 (nine years ago) link
manakamana was great! we were dying at the ice cream sequence. i haven't seen so many walkouts of a movie in a long time. god, everyone might as well be on meth the way they can't bare to sit and watch something pretty and agreeable for two hours.

Most of their films, including a bunch of shorts, Manakamana, Sweetgrass, Foreign Parts and the new Iron Ministry, is still streaming over the weekend.

i didn't know about some of those films!I don't think i can watch them on a computer screen tho; the ritual of being in a theater is what calms we enough to open to them.
