FANTASTIC Movie! Ryan Gosling is more GORGEOUS and better in this than pretty much any previous role! He was BORN to be play the Character of Colt Sievers!! A MUST see!! ❤😊

My favorites are Ran, Yojimbo and Seven Samurai. Ran has this nightmarish, fever dream quality to it (not to say that the story is incoherent), which fills you with constant dread. At the same time its visuals are so striking and beautiful, especially that one scene of the samurai killing the fox wife after she led them to ruin. I love Yojimbo mainly because of Toshiro Mifune's excellent character. (In general everything about that movie is excellent, but that umph you said was missing, for me, at least, is the main character.) Seven Samurai has a very playful quality to it. It's a bit hard to explain as it's a serious movie, but I love all the tricks and strategies, and the dynamics between the characters, amd all the characters. It's a bit of a comfort movie for me, strangely enough. It sort of feels like I'm reading an epic fantasy series, with all the different character arcs happening simultaneously and intertwining with an overarching plot. So, yeah :)

You should watch The Road Warrior at least. It's amazing.

Quit with this sequels and universes garbage finally!! Make last one with Gibson as himself dying to close the saga forever and employ your useless cholesterol massas in coming up with something fresh and new!! If it is sequel to anything, avoid per definition.

Furiosa was never meant to be a "true Mad Max" it's no longer a western, no longer Max's story. It's Furiosa's story. It's a character study. A story to develop the lore. And, let's face it, an excuse for the universe to appeal more to the average Marvel Universe enjoyer. Is that a good thing? Not entirely. Furiosa does not have the same standalone power as Fury Road, and it certainly does not have the same classic, pure charm the original 3 have. But it IS good. Appealing to new audiences as well as fleshing out the stories of fantastic characters and solidifying the connection felt by viewers who watched because they loved Fury Road.

Need more feminine raging hero’s in masculine worlds

Furiosa was the first mad max movie I’ve seen, and it’s just drawn me in completely. I fallen in love with the world, not with max, which is why I think I’m one of the few that liked furiosa more that fury road

You should really at least watch the original Mad Max before reviewing this last movie. You would understand why those fans could not care for a story without the main protagonist.

Great review. I didn't mind the film. There were some great sequences, and the transition from the young Furiosa to Taylor-Joy's version was well done. I could've used more of the relationship between her and Not Max. Some big things get skipped over too fast. I'm also not thrilled that someone in her hippy commune named her Furiosa. I was sure that was some later naming. The movie is bombing, and doesn't deserve that. But Fury Road was better

all style no substance...Fury Road was much MUCH better.

His last three films Dreams, Rhapsody in August, and Madadayo may be lesser Kurosawa but peaceful and have more simplicity

All these films are super-familiar to me, but I nevertheless enjoyed re-seeing them through your eyes. You mentioned that none of the films are happy, but that's one of the things I respect about the Japanese movie audience: their acceptance of unhappy endings. However, you should definitely re-watch Sansho the Bailiff, which is one of my favorite movies of all time. I'm reasonably sure that you'll rate it higher the second time than you do here.

Besides Miyazaki you should checkout the filmography of Isao Takahata, Ghibli's co-founder and (imo) the best filmmaker out of the Ghibli roaster. His output is less whimsical/fantastic than Miyazaki, and way more rooted in the hardships of reality, and of types of stories that are unapologetically Japanese in themes and tone. He is mostly known for Grave of the Fireflies, but my favorite from his are Only Yesterday and The Tale of Princess Kaguya (which is also my favorite animated movie ever). You should probably do a whole month of Studio Ghibli to be honest.

your channel is SO underrated i swear, im in love with your videos

I see you said in the description you have exams. Do u mind me asking how old you are, and what country are u living in? nice vid

cool channel

Loved every second

Great review, thank you!

Excellent reviews! I’ve always liked his later film, Dreams. It too is a collection of short stories told in vivid color.

Do you have a Letterboxd?

It's garbage

Don't deprive yourself of Dreams and Madadayo (his last film). Though vastly different from each other, they are both insightfully penetrating into the artist's opus. That sounds pretentious, but I stand by it. Great video.

When you said mid 1900s I almost died laughing haha. Great List/Great commentary. I'm gonna rewatch all these again. Would recommend Terry Gilliam (Brazil/ 12 Monkeys) (BRUHHH, BRAZIL) or Verhoeven Month. (Robocop/ Total Recall/ Basic Instinct/Starship Troopers)

la historia oficial fuck yeah amazing movie

I’ve only seen 5 of these movies. I’ll even rank them from 5th best to my favorite. 5. Ugetsu 4. Late Spring 3. Godzilla 2. Tokyo Story 1. Harakiri I think Harakiri is the best of the bunch. One of my favorite movies of all time! I so badly want to watch The Human Condition trilogy 😊

Hello! As someone from Latin America, it's very gratifying to see our cinema being discussed in different regions :) I'd recommend a director who, in my opinion, is one of the most interesting ones, the Argentine Lucrecia Martel, especially her first film "La Ciénaga", which marked a before and after in Latin American cinema. You might also be interested in the Uruguayan film "25 Watts", very much in the style of Jim Jarmusch. Both were fundamental for the development of Latin American cinema from the 2000s onwards. I'm also starting to upload videos about cinema, and seeing content like yours is very refreshing. Greetings!

It was a mess. Unfunny, messy film. While it's supposed to take place in 1999,it feels more like the... 70's! The clothes,people's looks, the overall ambiance...

This series is a banger

Thanks, will try to watch some of the films mentioned here this month.

Just started a similar exploration of the Golden Age of Japanese cinema and I’m definitely adding some of these to my watch list. Do you recommend watching the films of the same director back to back or all films in order of release (alternating directors)? Great video!

it was sort of designed to tell how easily exploitable our convenient world according to fincher himself in some interview I recall, but aside from that it doesn't leave me speechless like his other films after a while

I loved this video. Japanese cinema is the best. I recommend the warped ones 1960, okaasan 1953 and the ballad of narayama 1958. Also if you liked onibaba i highly recommend kuroneko 1968. Its from the same director. All very different from each other.

I love the attention given to Japanese cinema. You could honestly make a strong case that 1950s Japanese cinema was the greatest era in film history. Because there were many filmmakers that were so distinctly different from one another, but all made amazing movies.

I wanted to know if Curly was ever saved and if Miley's Cameo would lead to the girls meeting her.

It’s always an ensemble cast and this is definitely the first female dominant one. But over all I think the Coen brothers are pretty good about diverse castings. No country for old men is the most masculine one the rest tend to have a pretty even mix of genders and personalities. The big Lebowski is basically a feminist film. I’m not trying to take away from the argument I just don’t think it’s as big of a shift in subject matter as is implied at the beginning.

It isn’t faithfully a Japanese film, but Mishima: a Life in Four Chapters has gotta be one of my favorites of all time. Check it out for perhaps the most meticulously crafted film from the 80s.

Great review! Very balanced and maybe a little generous because I felt the film totally lacked anything that engaged me - slick car commercials can be more engaging. And apparently the budget was 175 million USD according to what I read!?

Just saw it and loved it. It's just one of those movies. it's better to roll with to enjoy watching. It reminds me a lot of a film called (Every which way but Lose) where it's just about having fun.

Loved the movie and I'm late 50s dyke who remembers the bars of the 80s/90s...silly,trashy,sexy.. don't take it too seriously lady,its just entertainment

I don’t understand why the word “slow” is used as a negative description in film. To me, “fast” is more negative. I appreciate the time allowed for me to absorb every detail shown on screen, listen to every sound or piece of music, watch the actors’ faces and body language, or simply take time to digest everything I had seen in this and previous scenes. The addiction today to hyper frenetic action, constant quick cuts, and unending movement seem to be due to compensate for a lack of acting prowess, for lackluster scripts, and a tendency to ignore depth of frame set-ups in favor of editing and overall techniques that hit the brain and body with adrenalin or serotonin rushes. Who decided that “slow” rates a negative reaction, whereas “fast” does not? A scene of Toshiro Mifune slowly walking (in any film) or the sister in “Sansho” slowly walking into the lake or Setsuko’s face watching a Noh play are more dramatic and interesting than the back & forth rapid cuts seen in any film made today. Traditional Japanese theatre is in essence “slow” but requires & allows for attention, patience and immersion; similarly traditional Japanese art is spare, minimalist and more effectively contrasts details with emptiness. Scenes in a film may be “slow,” but that should not be considered a characteristic any more critical than describing a scene as colorful, frightening or humorous. It is a quality and as essential to a particular story or character development or a situation as any other description.

Ive been obsessed with japannese cinema recently. I recommend: Shoplifters, Cure, Kairo, perfect blue, All about lily Chou-chou, Ringu, tampopo

I loved It its perfect

This is what happens when a pothead makes a movie.

Looking at the trailer, which I've seen a couple of times, I'd definitely say it is very "Coen-like" but in their more zany mode, like "Burn Before Reading", though it sounds from what you are saying that it's more wacky. It's a shame to me that the brothers have stopped making films together, but then maybe they've said what they have to say and we are lucky they made such great stuff 15 or 20 years ago. I might even give this a look in a cinema.

"... because certain expectations." Honestly, ,the only expectation I had was for the movie not to suck. No matter who directed it, it's a very, very bad and unfunny too. As for the sex scenes, they were very un-sexy. And as for Qualley's accent, I never got used to it; it only got worse. The only good scene was the trampoline scene (the first time, not when Coen went back for more).

What I think is unfortunate is that Ethan and Joel are constantly being compared against their work as a duo when they are trying to discover their own individual voices. We need to allow them to explore and be themselves on their own and judge them on their own credit and not compare them to something they are trying not to be.

You should definitely watch love exposure, it is bonkers!

Good video 👍

i also recommend the films from the new japanese wave , like Woman in the Dunes, Face of Another, Branded to Kill ,Vengeance is Mine, Intentions of Murder, Throw away your books rally in the streets , Pastoral to die in the country , Pale Flower, Tokyo Drifter, Pigs and battleship ,funeral parade of roses , the naked island , eros+massacre , death by hanging , in the realm of senses and sooo on :))

onibaba is my favorite from those 15 that you've seen ,but all of them are incredible. Amazing clip btw .
