Cuts between events are done for a reason. Or else it is similar to speaking without pauses inbetween words. If art house films just act as a rebel against commercial (true) cinema, you have to brain wash yourself to pseudo enjoy it.
Good video. I think since you didn't talk much about the plot of this movie that if you would've not included the gunshot at the end it would've been essentially spoiler free
The director and writer is dead from suicide :we are not sure why he killid himself only that he would certainly not have survived in Holywood UNLESS He made some big and serious psyche changes !!! ? Bela Tarr presented the film in Paris ? Hubo committed suicide and the story is enough to make your tear !
I am happily immune to so-called "spoilers". Learning about this fascinating sounding production before seeing it makes me no less curious to experience it.
I'm currently writing a thesis for my upcoming exam where I compare stillness and motion in photo versus films and I really enjoyed learning more about slow cinema from your video. I already researched a bit about the genre before diving into your video and it consolidated my knowledge. Thanks Brandon!
Nice analysis. There is a kind of digital realism that made me emotional while watching Aftersun. Gives the feeling that I am watching a vlog that I made years ago and feeling nostalgic about its imperfections.
Amazing choice of the four films! When i think of slow cinema i have to think of those films, and especially an elephant sitting still! Kaili Blues is a great representation as well!
this video is brilliant, and so helpful. I remember the first time I saw 'Winter Light' (Ingmar Bergman) The experience of *lack of music* was a shocking and brilliant at the same time.
Any chance you can let me know where I can find wongs movies, I don’t have access to hbo or criterion so I’m lost. And I’m very intrigued having not seen a spec of his work
The style of camerawork in this film reminds me of the film Son of Saul about the Somderkommando in Auschwitz, where a lot of the action happens in the background out of focus, while keeping the main character in the foreground in focus. I believe both that director and Bo took inspiration from Bela Tarr, who is a master of long shots and deliberate uses of focus and panning to imply subjectivity.
Watching Stalker was like watching a reflection in a mirror. It forces you to go on a philosophical journey and admire the art of slowburn cinema. Just like Solaris (also by Tarkowski), Stalker is a masterpiece worthwile to watch.
@@24frameschannel the voice over was what I noticed first. But the sound from the clips seem to be at almost the same level as your voice and not brought forward or pushed back in the mix and it sounded flat to me. I had a hard time hearing what you were saying when you were talking and a hard time hearing audio from the clips also. I am not an expert with video audio but it was something I noticed.
