Directed by Ingmar Bergman
Sweden, 1957

Hi everyone! This week’s film is one of Ingmar Bergman’s best and one of the most influential films of its time. The Seventh Seal is a stunning allegory of man’s search for meaning and a work of stark visual poetry.
If you haven’t seen it yet, then you’re in for a real treat!
If you have, watch it again! it's well worth it 💀
Enjoy! 🍿📽🎬

Sorry for the slow response, Alexander.
I know what you mean about their relationship, it’s dysfunctional to say the least, and it can be difficult to watch at times. I think that’s what makes it such a great documentary though, and what makes the Maysles brothers such wonderful documentarians, their films are always so wonderfully balanced, so funny and yet so sad, and despite their subjects appearing so vulnerable, they always seem to depict them with great respect.
Have you seen Salesmen by the Maysles brothers? I think it has a similar feel, tragic and hopeful.

Hi everyone!
This week’s film is Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky.
Perhaps one of the greatest sci-fi films ever made, Stalker is not only beautifully shot, its slow meditative pace takes us deep into the human psyche where, as in all Tarkovsky's work, spiritual crisis is the theme: Tarkovsky wrote: 'Whether they are good or bad, in the final analysis my films are about one thing: the extreme manifestation of faith in a moral debt, the fight for it ... I am interested in a hero, going on to the end, regardless of everything, for only such a man can triumph.'
Enjoy! 🍿📽🎬

WK 14 | BLUE VELVET
Directed by David Lynch
United States, 1986 🕓 121
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Hi everyone!
Has it really taken us 14 weeks to get to the inimitable David Lynch?
Here is the fantastic Blue Velvet (1985).
This dark, violent, hilarious, terrifying, mysterious noir has lost none of its power. It takes us from nostalgia to horror, from suburban gardens, to dreamy nightclubs; there is a severed human ears, psychopathic criminals, Roy Orbison’s dreamy voice, and Frederick Elmes's drifting camera and his kaleidoscopic use of color. And then there’s Frank….
Enjoy! 🍿📽🎬

This week’s short is Palindrome (1969, 16mm, color, silent, 🕓 22 min) by the great Hollis Frampton.
🍿Watch it here 🎟:
https://www.ubuweb.com/media/video/Frampton_Hollis_Palindrome_1969.mp4
While working at a photo lab, Frampton found that the waste at both ends of the rolls of processed film produced images far too interesting to be discarded. For Palindrome, Frampton selected images which he described as "tending towards the biomorphic," resembling abstract surrealist painting. However, the rigid palindromic structure that Frampton imposes on the images-a motorized sequence based on "twelve variations on each of forty congruent phrases"-deviates from the subjective aesthetic of the expressive, demonstrating Frampton's interest in the "generative power" of films composed by rules and principles.

I think your right. Also apparently, Jan Švankmajer was a big influence on Terry Gilliam, and, I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think it’s a reach to suggest that Monty Python was an influence on filmmakers like Burton and David Lynch, and later Anderson and others. There’s a definite lineage I think. I love it too!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I believe the foreshadowing is a nod to Thackeray’s novel, The Luck of Barry Lyndon, on which the screenplay is based. Descriptive chapter titles are a trope of 19th century literature, especially among those works which, like Barry Lyndon, were published serially.
I’m not sure what you mean about the ending. The freeze frame is the last scene in which Lyndon appears, but it is not the end of the film. The films ends with the charming and poignant epilogue:
It was in the reign of King George III that the aforementioned personages lived and quarreled; Good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor they are all equal now.

WK 10 | PARIS, TEXAS
Directed by Wim Wenders
West Germany, France, 1984
🕓 146
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Hi everyone!
This week’s film is Paris, Texas, Wim Wenders’ poetic tale of loss and love set in the American southwest. The second film on our list to feature the inimitable Harry Dean Stanton, and this time alongside Dean Stockwell and Nastassja Kinski. The film is beautifully shot — any William Eggleston fans out there will especially appreciate the use of colour.
Enjoy! 🍿📽🎬

“You eat a lot of acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?” 😂
It’s a great scene. And a great movie.
I know what you mean, though, I think, the way they are paced, and there’s a rawness to them too which seems uncommon these days. Sometimes the best scenes are those where nothing really happens.
I was thinking of choosing something by Jarmusch in the next few weeks. Mystery Train or Down by Law or perhaps Night on Earth.
I also watched Slacker by Richard Linklater again earlier this week— haven’t seen it in a long time — and I think that feels loose in a similar way. I love how it follows different people, drifting from convention to conversation.

The lenses were left over from a batch made for use for NASA’s Apollo moon-landing program.
The following is taken from an interview with John Alcott which I posted earlier. It’s a fascinating read if you’re interested in the technical side. 📽
INTERVIEWER: Now we come to the scenes which have caused more comment than anything else in this overall beautiful film — namely the candlelight scenes. Can you tell me about these and how they were executed?
JOHN ALCOTT : The objective was to shoot these scenes exclusively by candlelight — that is, without a boost from any artificial light whatsoever. As I mentioned earlier, Stanley Kubrick and I had been discussing this possibility for years, but had not been able to find sufficiently fast lenses to do it. Stanley finally discovered three 50mm t/0.7 Zeiss still-camera lenses which were left over from a batch made for use by NASA in their Apollo moon-landing program. We had a non-reflexed Mitchell BNC which was sent over to Ed DiGiulio to be reconstructed to accept this ultra-fast lens. He had to mill out the existing lens mounts, because the rear element of this t/0.7 lens was virtually something like 4mm from the film plane. It took quite a while, and when we got the camera back we made quite extensive tests on it.

This week we’ve chosen Un Chien Andalou (1929, 🕓15, Silent) by Luis Buñuel.
https://archive.org/details/un-chien-andalou__1929-film__luis_bunuel
I’m sure a lot of you know this film, but for those that don’t: Un Chien Andalou* (“An Andalusian Dog") was Luis Buñuel’s first film and is a seminal work in the genre of surrealist cinema. Written by Buñuel and Salvador Dalí, it was so popular that it ran for eight months straight after its initial limited release.
*There are some fairly gruesome scenes, which may disturb some viewers, so please do watch at your own discretion. 👁 🌝 🔪

Directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder
West Germany, 1974 | 🕓 93
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Hi everyone!
Fassbinder takes Douglas Sirk’s All That Heaven Allows ( which we’ll hopefully show soon!) and truly makes it his own, though even stylistically he evokes Sirk here with his use of long tracking shots and controlled mise-en-scene — the use of colour is just superb.
This is one of Fassbinder’s finest films, and if you are not familiar with his work, after this you will want to watch it all!
“The stillness of the ﬁlm is deeply sad. But in the middle of all this sadness lies the possibility Emmi and Ali create when they ﬁnd each other. The ﬁlm draws its immense force from its concentration on two simple facts: the world's indifference and the couple's love.” — Criterion Collection.
Enjoy! 🎬👁📽❤️

Wk6 | PEEPING TOM
Directed by Michael Powell
UK, 1960 | 🕓 102
🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Hi everyone!
Released in Britain less than a month before Hitchcock’s Psycho had its American premiere, Powell’s Peeping Tom, which shares many of the same themes—voyeurism, murder, obsession, trauma — was reviled by critics at the time and sidelined by audiences. Yet Powell’s masterpiece takes the idea of voyeurism much further than Hitchcock’s: Peeping Tom represents one of the most daring rebukes of cinema itself, and as such would ultimately mark the end of Powell’s career.

This week we’ve chosen Kenneth Anger’s Rabbit’s Moon. Filmed in 1950 but not complicated until two decades later, there are two different versions, one from 1971 and a later, speeded-up, thus shorter, version from 1979. They are quite different and it’s well worth watching both. 🐇🌕
