The Loznitsa is his best fiction feature imo. But a lot of his fiction seems kinda disconnected from his brilliant documentary career. Apart from their focus on Russia/Ukraine and corruption and history etc. I remember it as quite loose, quite dark, quite artful.

I should rewatch, but I think I would place the Loznitsa top three along with Boonmee and Certified Copy.

only seen boonmee and outrage. the former is a better film by leagues... but i do prefer the thought of the latter winning
― devvvine, Friday, 3 April 2020 14:31 (four years ago) link
oh and certified copy
thought Boonmee was one of the best winners ever

I really liked Loznitsa’s My Joy and Lee’s Poetry
― Dan S, Sunday, 5 April 2020 00:48 (four years ago) link
Kiarostami.
― Vegemite Is My Grrl (Eric H.), Sunday, 5 April 2020 01:01 (four years ago) link
yeah of the six or seven I've seen K-dawg is the winner

I will have to watch Certified Copy again. I wasn’t convinced by it the first two times, but still am open
― Dan S, Sunday, 5 April 2020 01:08 (four years ago) link
I didn't like it at the time either, but the cineastes have nearly succeeded in browbeating me into giving it another chance.

Weerasethakul is still the winner of this poll afaic
― Dan S, Sunday, 5 April 2020 02:03 (four years ago) link

― brechtian social distancing (Simon H.), Sunday, 5 April 2020 02:17 (four years ago) link

― Dan S, Sunday, 5 April 2020 02:30 (four years ago) link
Not watching it a second time 'til I've seen Another Year and Poetry once.
― Maria Edgelord (cryptosicko), Sunday, 5 April 2020 03:07 (four years ago) link
you piece of shit
Simon, that's not the funny joke you thought it was.

sorry Dan I was trying to jokingly do a bit where I was bro hardmanning you into more perceptively rewatching a beloved abbas kiarostami film but I suspect the intended effect was lost between brain and post
― brechtian social distancing (Simon H.), Sunday, 5 April 2020 03:31 (four years ago) link
:) I will definitely watch it again, with intention!
― Dan S, Sunday, 5 April 2020 07:21 (four years ago) link
I remember liking Beauvois’ Of Gods and Men, but it feels long ago, would also like to see it again
― Dan S, Sunday, 5 April 2020 07:39 (four years ago) link
The Housemaid isn't really that good, btw, but I couldn't help but think of it when I saw Parasite. Class warfare in a luxury mansion, except with Im Sang-soo it's mostly kitsch.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ayoaqh3SBs
(it's a remake of a classic Korean film from the early sixties by Kim Ki-young, who himself remade it twice. Both remakes are on the Korean Film Archive youtube, if anyone is interested)

Route Irish? This Ken Loach film feels like it has been inserted into history. Don't have any recollection of it at all.
― Alba, Sunday, 5 April 2020 17:07 (four years ago) link
I remember seeing A Screaming Man and really liking it. Will have to see it again
― Dan S, Monday, 6 April 2020 02:17 (four years ago) link
want to watch The Tour
― Dan S, Monday, 6 April 2020 02:26 (four years ago) link
or On Tour
I liked Burnt By the Sun, not sure I care about a sequel
― Dan S, Monday, 6 April 2020 02:38 (four years ago) link
Finally watched Another Year this morning and promptly voted for it in this poll (liked it better than Uncle Boonmee and waaay better than Certified Copy. Seeing takes out there suggesting that Gerri and Tom are actually assholes for constantly shoving their perfect lives in the faces of their fucked up friends, which is hilarious.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

don’t understand the mania for Certified Copy, Uncle Boonmee still gets my vote
― Dan S, Saturday, 18 April 2020 00:05 (four years ago) link
I don't get it at all. It's an interesting failure, imo. I don't like Boonmee much past the first episode, but that episode is truly great.

Syndromes and a Century is an all-time great film for me, fwiw. I love Joe. Voted for the Beauvois.
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Saturday, 18 April 2020 02:02 (four years ago) link
I haven't seen Poetry but there's a good chance that I'd love it.
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Saturday, 18 April 2020 02:07 (four years ago) link
saw Secret Sunshine and Poetry before Burning, thought they were both great
