Tysm for taking all that time! I forgot to mention Pier Paolo Pasolini. I only saw Salo and Arabian Nights of his, both extremely sexually graphic & banned in many countries. Tried to find a free YT video of Arabian Nights for you, that's the one I'd recommend, but he's known to be a maestro of sorts. He's a Pisces man who was murdered after Salo, which was a cinematization of Sade's 120 Days of Sodom. Id only watch that once, much like Lolita but more traumatizing. Pasolini was in fact a convicted pedophile who made art pretending to criticize it but just show it. I'd like to see more of his such as Canterbury Tales, Medea and the Decameron. His Oedipus Rex is free on YT
I would ask you about Stanley Kubrick, but I'd assume he's universally respected. If you disagree, lmk 😂
https://boxd.it/ayqHa Watch the Bergmans!! This is my ranked list of 45. Start with Through A Glass Darkly. He was an atheist when it was edgy (and subtle about it) & his movies are mostly pessimistic of relationships. BEAUTIFUL leading ladies. His most famous film is the Seventh Seal where the protagonist plays chess with death. All his films are 90 minutes. Some of them are VERY slow burns that wrap up in a based climax as late as the last 30 seconds xD
I feel like Godard is Harmony Korine's counterpart who is more political and takes film seriously. You're trippin if you don't like Contempt and looking at Brigitte Bardot. I wish Masculin Feminin was still free on YT, Anna Karina my type af
Korine is a troll who makes antifilm. My favorite was kids,mainly because the villain played by Leo Fitzpatrick was so recognizable. That's actually a Larry Cook film but I pretend it isn't because his movie Ken Park disgusted me sm. Gummo is good too, Chloe Sevignys hottest role. I think that's a big difference between us- I appreciate grimy, sleazy, poverty-stricken media full of turmoil- hence the LZ appreciation, lifted from post-slavery Delta blues- while you like media to be clean and less interpersonally tragic maybe. Men are generally more left-brained esp the guys I like
You should see Serial Mom by Waters, it was a fun time. I'm glad you appreciate him. I didn't like Polyester much, my favorite was Pink Flamingos. He's dirty and I'm glad you appreciate him!
David Lynch- I only like (LOVE) Eraserhead. I want to see Blue Velvet. His others sucked like Twin Peaks I hate that murder-mystery sitcom ass genre
I'll check out Fassbinder, titles look promising. I loved Saura's El Amor Brujo although I watched it in Spanish without subtitles xD I downloaded FlixOlé and paid to watch it bc it was the only streaming source I could find lmao. It was such a a vibe. Very me. I gave 5 stars
Sorry but fuck Lars von Trier. I watched all his movies, my former annoying numale hipster friend is a fan of his and Wes Anderson, which puts a damper on them but also I disliked grand Budapest hotel. Oh, I did like House that Jack Built, but I like Matt Dillon esp in the Outsiders and Wild Things.
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was great. Only time I've ever seen a pit bull attack cinematized. I appreciate that bc where I live people get violently defensive over pit bulls but the Wikipedia dog bite death page tells the whole story. You should watch Tarantino's Jackie Brown, you'd love it! Beautiful Pam Grier & great soundtrack.
Thanks, I added black widow to my watchlist.

Here's a Luis Bunuel, I gave it 1.5 stars but liked the fact that a bear was there. 🩷
Pasolini is a good director, but IDK, I don't find his movies that interesting, his propos was probably more relevant in the 60s/70s, also italian cinema is naturally filthy, so it's always a hard buy for me. He was killed by Gladio because starting to get into their business. I don't like thta he's only known for salo which was only made for shock value.
Kubrik is just passable. Like many directors he was overrated and astroturfed straight from the start of his career (I'll let you guess why) and given popular novels and plays to adapt when he was still a young director.
I'll give a shot at bergman.
I once saw a written documentary about Gummo, and it made me want to watch it, but never did get around to it. I don't have a problem with messy or dirty movies, but I have a problem when a director makes this their whole personality.
Lynch is actually good, just avoid his obvious trolls like twin peaks. Blue velvet is okay, the best movies are at the start of his career.
Wes Anderson is a waste of anyone's time.
I saw jackie brown in the cinema. It was just deniro playing de niro and pam grier. The only promotion they were making about the movie was to talk about pam grier, and tarantino probably only made the movie because he wanted to make a pop culture reference by casting her.
