I agree. Reminds me of The Daytrippers.

@@tntbsyht Don't think I've seen that 🤔 I'll check it out. I was thinking Clerks, SubUrbia, My So Called Life, etc.

Major crumb and ghost world vibes

@@lemmyorleans I thought Ghost World too, great film.

Just not the cinematography.

Do they? They seem like caricatures of regular people maybe

@@Balloonbot I see what you mean...still better than having models portray regular people lol

i guess if youre white

@@talltreeyeti Always with the race. You know, there are places throughout the US that have primarily white populations. Movies filmed in India have primarily Indian people. *shcoked pikachu face*. You really need to get off reddit and twitter if this is how you think about life.

@S I would love to see a quirky, offbeat story of black people that never conforms to “ the culture”. Sorry To Bother You is the closest approximation.

Well said!

I was thinking closer to late 80s

Early 90s

yall must be really young. I'm 24 and this reminds me of my childhood in the mid to late 2000s. Looking at the cars and technology (you can see the computer at 00:57 screams mid to late 2000s), the style of clothing, and the stores.. That comic book stores reminds me of blockbusters and old comic book stores I used to go to as a kid lol. This is def set in the mid to late 2000s..

@@thelonercoder5816 I believe most people are saying it's 90s-esque due to the color and audio, not because of the setting.

i was thinking more 00s

I LOVE all the faces of the cast its what makes me want to watch it

I know it's such a weird thing to say lol, but yeah it really stood out to me and makes a difference. Very refreshing.

Yes! It's exhausting seeing the same handful of people being cast in everything

For real. It’s nice to see some variation. After years of seeing the same kind of face, it really desensitises you towards conventional attractiveness. Probably the same reason why “avant garde” models are so in now - people are bored with the same brand of pretty.

yall are calling these people ugly

It makes me happy that people are showing genuine interest in this style of film.

@@tukos7370 you should go outside more then

It reminds me of the 00s aesthetic

Wait so A24 stand for August 24? Hahahaha 🤯🤯🤯

we have the same birthday😂

@@adolphgoldchronic346 A24 is the name of a highway in Italy that the founder was driving on when he came up with the idea for the company

Yes, that is so spot on!

Cool to scroll down and see someone else got Ghost World vibes from this too!!

All I could think of was American Splendor and Crumb while watching this. Which for me is a very good thing.

Yes yes!!! So glad other ppl got Ghostworld vibes!!!!!!!! High five

Glad someone else remembers American Splendour, on of Giamattis best performances

I love the fact that everyone looked sorta ugly but interesting looking

They look like the people R. Crumb would have in his life if he got to redesign the people he already knew.

exactly

Some of y’all make some subtlety genius comments…

It almost makes me wonder if they recorded on a Nagra. Too delicious to even dream of.

As someone who's not really into the technical side of film, why do people like this stylistic choice? It looks like the awful 90s films that didn't age well and can't be remastered well either.

@@MehdiGlz My guess is the ones that can't be "remastered well" were the ones deliberately shot on DV, which was en vogue for a while in the 90s with the American Indie movement and the Dogme95 movement. Film has always been expensive and HD didn't exist yet so shooting on DV gave it a gritty real-world quality that visually merged documentary with fiction...on a budget. The result were vibrant, gritty films that had a lot of power and the feeling of authenticity to them. Most modern-day films with the HD treatments scrubbing out imperfections make everything feel flat and fake. And I've had issues with A24 for years now deliberately choosing or making films that all look like a swatch book of tone and topic and not having a lot of diverse ideas. I wanna like them more but their catalog has left me disappointed overall.

@@MehdiGlz The same reasons you hate it are probably the same reasons people love it. It has a texture unique to itself. The aesthetic feels like warm velvet; the aesthetic of pristine digital feels like chilled metal; both of them (and everything in-between) can and are brilliant in their own right. But hey if you don't dig it, you don't dig it! S'all good

Matthew Maher he's excellent in it 👌 He also voices Wade in GTA 5 👍

@@TheRm65 "Great. You love the color grade. Wonderful." You OK?

@S V I'm willing to choke on A24's massive hog any day, every day, all day. Disclaimer: only until they start to make bad films and I start to hate them.

Definitely

@S V Baah god

They’re just a film distributor

@@arabwaluigi5248 They produce a lot of films too, not just distribute them.

Absolutely. Can't wait

Yeah exactly, nailed it. More Zwigoff than Zwigoff

We all need to get together and force Terry Zwigoff to make more movies. We just need money and a cattle prod.

@@roncinephile Where even IS Terry!?

I can see where you're getting that, but I'm still thinking 90s given the handheld nature and the choice of 50mm lenses for close-ups and medium close-ups. The film is trying to emphasize the texture of the optics as a part of the aesthetic and the 80s tended to shy away from that. The main reason that happened at all in the 80s is when they underexposed or when they used mid-80s Kodak stock (which was very grainy e.g. ALIENS).

Yeah I definitely get a 90s aesthetic.

@@Foulfellow You think you've pissed us off with this comment, but it's hilarious and we love it.

@@Foulfellow You're absolutely insane and WAY OFF... it's obviously July 1st, 1989. Don't believe me? look at frame 233.

Or the fact that its about legendary cartoonist Robert Crumb.

No one asked.

@@turbomunch no one asked your opinion

Same!

It looks like stage 1 cancer

I was gonna say, everyone in the cast looks goofy as hell but as a fellow goofy-looking dude, I’m here for it.

Nice way of calling them ugly

"Finally a cast that looks as ugly as me"

If you like that kind of movie and a casting that looks like real people, you should check out Licorice Pizza!

The American No Wave movement which was the realm of Jarmusch, Lee, and Abel Ferrara (to name a few).

lots of their movies are on showtime right now

Would be the only streaming service that deserves my money. Because it's a way to support indie productions and a good way to support a great quality of movies.

they don't have a service and i hope to god they don't but you can order dvds from them i think like a subscription? i'm not entirely sure

Looks like it a movie about the early days of Robert Crumb

And killing it with both. That sonnofabitch

Noah knows sure how to pick em

I guess it helps being the son of Kevin Kline, lol. But yeah, I remember him too as the little brother in Squid and the Whale that was wiping his jizz all over the place 😂

Yeah. I thought he was going to follow his parents' footsteps, but he disappeared for some reason.

honestly when i saw the kid's drawings i thought it was gonna be a crumb biopic or something, even though i quickly realized the dates were off

You basically just said "only well known studios should take chances because otherwise i'm not even going to bother watching"

You come across as the opposite of a 'cine-fiend'.

you seem annoying then

A24 always takes chances like this. They go for a good story, a good script. They don't care about how it looks/ how mainstream it is. Surely you know this already.

@@N4N0808 a24 is not just a "well known studio." He phrased it poorly. What he meant was that he's glad this movie is distributed by A24 because they usually have fantastic taste.

Because Stranger Things doesn't take place in the 90's

@@superdrinkingpepsi They don't even look like they're in the 80's... Which is even worse lmao ☠☠

@@cummiestcat Well I don't imagine stranger things was aiming to look like it was filmed in the 80s, movies that take place in the 40s aren't all in black and white are they??
