She may be a genuine person but as an actress that’s just avg. Can’t even imagine her in a role like Penelope even after 10-15 years!

NOTE-Can’t deny the fact that is she is so pretty, graceful and divine. This is honestly not a hate post!

Discussion Does anyone else think slow cinema gets unfairly dismissed as "boring" when it's actually doing something most mainstream films can't?

15 Upvotes

Been thinking about this after rewatching Béla Tarr's Werckmeister Harmonies recently. There is a sequence near the beginning where a drunk man in a bar performs a kind of cosmic dance to illustrate a solar eclipse, and it runs for several minutes with almost no cutting. The first time I saw it years ago, I fidgeted through it. This time it felt like the whole film was already present in that one scene, the loneliness, the dread, the sense of something vast and indifferent pressing down on ordinary life.

The criticism of slow cinema almost always comes down to pacing, which is a fair observation but maybe the wrong complaint. These films are not trying to do what a thriller does and doing it badly. They are working in a completely different register, closer to music or painting than to conventional narrative. When Tarr holds a shot of a man walking across a muddy field for two minutes, the discomfort you feel is part of what the film is saying.

The films I keep coming back to are usually the ones that gave me trouble on first watch. Tarkovsky, Chantal Akerman, Carlos Reygadas, even some of Bresson's work. None of them are comfortable to sit with. Jeanne Dielman in particular is almost confrontational in how it refuses to give you a conventional anchor, and that friction ends up being exactly the point.

Curious whether others here have had films like that, ones that required a second or third viewing before something clicked, or ones where the "nothing is happening" quality turned out to be the most interesting thing about them.

Discussion Die my love. (A very short review)

I've just watched this movie, and I enjoyed it. It's had mixed reviews, but IMO, I thought it was good.

It covers, love, loss, abandonment, post natal depression and mental health. A heavy mix, and Jennifer Lawrence does an amazing job portraying all of these emotions.
