amazing video Josh! You are my go-to for expanding my ever-growing want to absorb more knowledge. Not only are they entertaining to watch but they’re helping me learn to watch, analyze and speak about films more intelligently which helps a lot for my channel!
Even though this is a simple way to show the different styles it's very effective and makes me understand what I like and not. The line for me is when surrealism becomes too abstract. I love David Lynch when he stays on the side of surrealism but don't go off the rails like Twin Peaks. But when we come into Lost Highway territory he loses me (for some strange reason I still love Mulholland Drive but that seems to be the exception). The ending of 2001 for me is also the part about of that movie that drags it down a bit. Great video, happy I scrolled down through your videos to find this.
great video, only distinction I can think of is a mockumentary, it's almost in between documentary and neo-realism. I think there is a film maker from the middle east who also gets extremely meta with his documentaries, he makes films based on his filming of the documentaries, I don't know his name but its in the 90s era episode of The story of film documentary series. Also, F for Fake defies all categories, lol
yes, for sure. I am making it in the next few days. It will be released in September, as I am spacing out all of the Bergman videos I made, one about every two weeks.
Directors that would fit in these categories: Realism- Vittorio De Sica, John Cassavetes, Michelangelo Antonioni Classicism- John Ford, Billy Wilder, Francis Ford Coppola Surrealism- Luis Bunuel, David Lynch, Andrei Tarkovsky
pretty fair. Among working directors: Realism: Greengrass, Linklater (some stuff), Mike Leigh Classicism: PTA; Alexander Payne; Baumbach Surrealism: Aronovsky, Miyazaki; Cuaron Doesn't fit all of their work but probably gets their general preference.
Love your videos! Question, would Andrea Arnold’s movies (for example, American honey) be considered neo-realism, or which style is it? Asking because I really like her style but wasn’t sure what to call it
But where does a non-linear narrative fit in? Been around since DW Griffith's 1916 silent masterpiece "Intolerance" Most of C Nolan's films are NLA's. Still popular
they can be any of the styles. Even realism -- Flaubert's Madame Bovary plays around with time and scenes; it's not chronological, but at the time it was Realism, capital-R.
You explained these styles better than my intro to film history teacher did. Thank you.
you're welcome, I appreciate it.

thank you!
These videos are really entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work!
thank you.
Very informational. Thank you for this 👍

thank you, yes it's simplified too much, aimed at beginning learners. In truth, most of the college textbooks will have something like this.
thank you so much for this video! I.needed to pick a film style for class and this was soooo helpful!
you're welcome.
This was very clear! Thanks.
you're welcome.
Love this video, a very handy tool indeed
thank you.
Could you make a video about Pier Paolo Pasolini? Thanks for your interesting videos.
one of these days. I am stacked up a few great-directors projects lined up already, but one day this channel might cover it all.
Great content & extremely helpful.
thank you very much.
this is a really informative video and really simplifies things a great deal.
too simple but a good starting point for most, I hope. thank you.

F for Fake is amazing in this way. I just watched Waiting for Guffman again, and you are probably right about the classification of the genre.
Can you do an episode about Fanny and Alexander - saw your review on Letterboxd.
yes, for sure. I am making it in the next few days. It will be released in September, as I am spacing out all of the Bergman videos I made, one about every two weeks.
Informative video! Thank you so much.
What do you think about "No country for old men"?
one of the most conservative movies I have ever seen.

@@LearningaboutMovies I agree.
Which category would The Lighthouse (2019) fall into?
isn't it classical at first and goes into expressionism? Though I am forgetting it at the moment.

Thank you. I don't know her but will look into it.
Do you love Slow Pacing movie ?
I love any kind of movie, done well and with ample complexity and playfulness.
