Dementeleus Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm looking forward to the rest of the list. It's going to be different -- and different is good. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalo Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) 47. INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS 2011 Aleksandr Sokurov catcatcatcayctaCAtctaytcaytcaytctatctctatcatctcatcatct ahem melancholy with a capital Q. rather likable due to excellent performances by mr puddlebottom and miss sunggleborf. on the other hand, it just feels...insubstantial. i suppose that could be rather the point, but it's pretty much just a quietly depressing but relatively insignificant reflection on autostasis. ok that's a terrible made up word. anyway the best word i can think to sum this film up is 'nice'. 60 points Pretty much agree, I loved loved Oscar Isaac performance in this movie. but there wasn't really much else it had going for it, that Cat was cute too I guess Edited January 27, 2015 by Jedi Master Kalo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalo Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Just watched Disquiet.. I think it may have been the worst short film I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Jedi Master 007 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Disquiet was ok. The last shot was pretty powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Disquiet was ok. The last shot was pretty powerful. Top 50 films of of the last 5 years powerful? I have a theory, I believe lisa hates all films therefore picking the shortest movies as her favourite makes a lot of sense. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I started to watch Disquiet on youtube and then realised it was a different short film called Disquiet. I wouldn't personally count shorts in this list but hey, it's not my list. I'm looking forward to the rest though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mURuilTvizw 45. MALARIA 2013 EDSON ODA the second of four shorts. it's impressively drawn and about various things regarding death. currently sitting as my third favourite western, which i suppose says something about my feelings toward the genre. 60 points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luna Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 44. FRANCES HA 2013 NOAH BAUMBACH i was fighting off the whimsy for much of the first half, but eventually i came to enjoy this tale of a slightly awkward post-college woman undergoing a minor life crisis. i felt heavy shades of francois truffaut, woody allen and the mumblecore scene while watching. the ending was touching but also rather contrived, cloying and out of step with the rest of the film. 60 points 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, it's not my list. 2) Lisa and I disagree big time in terms of how to approach films, but I do think her opinion is valuable. At the very least, it always forces you to think.

luna Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Lisa, you're ruining your reputation (to me) as a tough cookie. this one will restore it. 43. THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY 2010 HIROMASA YONEBAYASHI i didn't find this to be really much worse than anything miyazaki's done. perhaps not as inventive as him, but they both feature simple and sentimental fantasy stories which are rather fun to watch. 60 points 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) 42. TABU 2012 MIGUEL GOMES i thought the decision to remove all spoken dialogue during the man's recollection, leaving only tinkling background noises, was absolutely brilliant. it's a shame then that the couple's story was really quite uninteresting, and its ideas of romance are rather windswept, if not idealistic, which become all the more questionable when set against a background of colonialism. the piano theme was beautiful; the use of song, not so much. 60 points Edited January 29, 2015 by lisa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HUGO 2011 MARTIN SCORSESE a glorious, fantastical celebration of cinema that is hammed up a little by a bit of (probably intentional) overwrought schmaltz. lovely steampunk aesthetic too. 63 points Edited January 29, 2015 by lisa 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
