This movie genuinely convinced me I had HIV at 15. Like I am dead serious. I knew it.

Mom told me watch this after I gushed over Pink Flamingos being my favorite anti-establishment movie since the Warriors. I was young and my cousin found a torrent of it so we could watch it in the basement tv room. My uncle came down to grab a beer, looked at the tv, and stated "oh, that movie is crazy, glad we had dinner already" in his thick Wisconsin accent, chuckling as he went back up. My cousin and I sat there, trying to understand exactly why the movie was so weird then we got to the end and just started to laugh because how the fuck else should that movie end. It felt like if James Bond at Scaramanga in The Man with the Golden Gun. It'd be stupid but I kept thinking about it because it'd kinda be fitting. I didn't think about it till years later when I watched it as a young adult were I continued to think the movie was weird and the ending still made me laugh but I did appreciate it alot more. I haven't seen it since and I know nothing else from Godard besides he's beloved. Genuinely I really want to rewatch it soon. After, uh, recent events, I think that same ending could be a nice soothing carthatic experience.

I’m not as familiar with his other works. I have seen Breathless, but this one sounds like something I need to be prepared to watch.

Excellent review - I'd say an early glimpse of where this is coming from is to be seen in JLG's Les Carabiniers from 1962. Filmed entirely in Brechtian style with non-professional actors, it really has a similar sense of rage to this film and a lot of similar scenes of atrocity happening 'out there in the woods'. One of the frustrating things about Godard after this period (I think after One Plus One) is that he would rarely take so much trouble, like going outside, setting up elaborate mise-en-scène and so on. So often in the 80s work it's just a montage of scenes in a hotel room and then some abstract sequences like waves on a beach or clouds in the sky. Low effort more than anything. I'd much rather have him seeking to offend me than seeking to bore me to death with Beethoven cello conciertos as soundtrack to nighttime traffic for endless establishing sequences atht establish nothing at all.

So this is the film that was one of the few that soured the relationship between the Weinstein brothers and The Walt Disney Company.

I like the theory of him being kind of nuts. Makes sense. Especially with him flipping the kid

How do you feel about Jean-Luc Godard's Weekend? How would you compare it to Godard's other works? Which films would you recommend similar to Weekend? Thanks for watching!

I've watched this film dozens of times but it was only while watching this that it occurred to me that Sam's mum's (the fantastic Katherine Helmond) cosmetic surgery results in, towards the end of the film - and there may be drink/poor eyesight involved - her looking like/being portrayed by Jill (Kim Greist). Is there an Oedipal side to this, too?

I discovered Larry Clark a couple of weeks ago, and I'd say my favorite work of his is titled "Vinnie".

one of fave groups and my love of anime all in one! This movie came out when i was a Senior in High School and still love it to this day!

I have watched the movie after they release it and watch them on Disney,they both have jp dub and eng dub,but I watch the JP dub ,and I still feel like you can't even explain or even tell what's real, what's not, Japanese guys are usually science 🧪 or some really much believing in bizzare,so the only thing I even have to research about the movie was that like in America they inspire inception I guess,but you still don't understand real or no,I mean I saw it and I still don't understand which is real or not.and the name was paprika 🌶️ was so weird,I mean idk,just weird,the spinning wheel in inception scene at the beach 🏖️ also confused me like that too,with Leo 🦁 playing the wheel 🎡,I mean you don't know what's real in movie or what's not real

I just realized that’s mark Gonzales wrestling a chair 😂😂👏🏼👏🏼

Cool Flick⚡

Ya not ever gonna watch this shit

Easily one of my favorite films~ Showed this to my family, many of which have done stage work and acting and such. They couldn't STAND the first section but I just kept telling them to trust me, and they loved it at the end, saying how real it felt.

Gosh, I can't remember the last horror comedy I saw. Maybe Dale and Tucker vs Evil? There's probably been 100 good movies in that have come out since. I'm definitely checking this out.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will be checking this film out.

I only know about this film because of "Belly" 😂😂😂

Don’t say Ken park backwards (worst mistake of my life)

Wowy. My True Story.

I always thought that Ganymede was the icon of Gay Community!!! or Antinous

*A masterpiece* One of my favorite films, it is mysterious and melancholy and haunting.

Kurosawa borrows deeply from Japanese mythology to state his themes. Even young Japanese school children are aware of the evil KAPPA or the violent TENGU . Without those reference points to explain the actions in the storyline, it is hard to appreciate the overall message of his films. Western audiences tend to be too analytical. Japanese audiences are too reactive .. His movies are too introspective for modern Japanese audiences. ie: they are intensely uncomfortable with his movies. Even his behaviour is too authoritarian. Therefore funding for this movie allegedly came from Spielberg and Lucas. This is particularly relevant to Lucas. Because Star Wars IS Hidden Fortress.

This film is not simply a documentary, it is the director's most personal and profound message, the reflection of a man who points himself as guilty, calling the world's attention and saying “Please look, this happened, my government did this, my army did this, we stand there looking and doing nothing, we helped kill innocent people, I helped them and no one told us anything, there is still no justice... please know it”

Very disturbing

Flick brings me back to some places on the reservation and a few places i lived in. It's fucked but oddly comforting, so it falls into a weird place. Also ive heard people compare the animator Spazkid's life to this film, which makes me relate a bit more to him.

Wish someone snuck in a camera to give us a cam torrent.

Have you seen All You Need Is Blood yet? Which other films do you feel are loving tributes to DIY filmmakers? Which films would you recommend similar to All You Need Is Blood? Thanks for watching!

If you ever seen the film Prscious. ,12 years a slave once was enough for me once was enough.Once was eough enough with this.becaus you know there are kids who are this jaded throwing there innocent away on the wrong kids (just get it over with( atitude) Most adults who.were similar to these kids regret thet first thier first wishing they had waited and wishing it had been with .other people

I need to read From Caligari to Hitler - I think there's an important lesson there and in the many films of Weimar Germany that subtextually warn against growing fascist sentiment that subtext won't save us. It can be inspiring and an important mirror to society and can help us make sense of things, but so much more is needed. It's funny, because the movie Don't Look Up even hints at this in the piece with the concert with Ariana Grande doing nothing to stop the impending doom, but then people involved in that movie act like the film is going to change the world when it hasn't/won't/couldn't. Similarly, there was this miniseries by Ryan Murphy called Hollywood that was basically like "wow, I bet if we had more underrepresented people in Oscar-winning movies back in the 40s then we would have solved racism and homophobia" which, as a disabled person, considering that the year prior to when the show took place an amputee won an Oscar (which the show ignores) uh yeah no!!! That did not solve ableism and Harold Russell is still one of like 4 openly disabled actors (if you even count Anthony Hopkins who is autistic) to win an Oscar!!!!! ...all that being said, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari SLAPS and is probably a top 10 for me

Wish this film had been titled "The Husband"

I had never heard of this film or director until I saw this video this morning. Just finished watching it and oh my god, that was something else. Thank you for the recommendation and I’m looking forward to the other films in the trilogy

That sounds a very cool but also insightful film! It seems self aware also of the voyeur aspect that it is. But the commentary about the patriarchy aspects seems very satisfying message in a way too. Nice Halloween pick.

I have heard about this movie but never watched it though I know about Jack Ketchum. Around 12 years ago I was trying to consume as much messed up novels as possible almost like a badge of honor. Less than Zero, The Gulag Archipelago, Invisible Monsters (hell, half of Chuck Palahniuk's stories), Leaving Los Vegas, whatever I could find. Then I was recommending Jack Ketchum's Offspring read it without knowing much about the author. It may not have disturbed me as much as some of the worst Palahniuk's novels (Lullaby...fucking shit) but it was rough than usual to get through. The Woman was released around the time but the knowledge was there, the damage was done, and I never watched it. After you mentioned the pliers, I continue to stand by that decision. It looks interesting and fucked up but I think I'm good on this one. There is a voyeuristic quality in consuming fucked up stories but I think it's a human trait of morbid curiosity in such things. It's such a blunt reminder of our mortality that it just triggers emotions, good and bad. From time to time, I definitely still enjoy a good extreme movie or book or story and let it give me the creeps and get under my skin.

i know this movie from my duck is dead

The ending haunts me to this day 😮

The story that I have read about seems very depressing. I don't have any idea why I would want to watch something that is so cruel. Disgusting is a better word or the description I read. I wished her well and was upset with the life she had led. I understand all the reasons. I don't want to watch someone who is living in that kind of pain. Sorry.

Trump supporters are numb to molesting women. Their orange leader wants to have sex with his daughter Ivanka while watching underage girls undress at the Miss Teen America and multiple rapes.

My fav film I'll never watch again. People tend to say this for requiem for a dream but imo this shit was harder to sit through. Fucking masterpiece

How do you feel about The Woman? What do you think about Lucky McKee's other films? Have you read Jack Ketchum's books before? Which films would you recommend similar to The Woman? Thanks for watching! Happy Halloween! 🎃🎃

Makes me think of Nic Cage in Vampires Kiss 🤓

My favorite vampire movie!!

Modernising The Predatory Vampire: I believe they call them politicians now.

Seeing it in the 80s on VHS, as a Romero fan I was challenged by it and actually didn't finish it. I rented it again and over time it became an absolute favorite of mine. Later in life (2019) I had the opportunity to cast John Amplas in a film I was making. John is a cool guy and I had fun working and hanging out with him, albeit very briefly. He was in 5 Romero films total. I remember telling him that I could see Romero's more arthouse influences in Martin. Really unique film and soundtrack. I would like to see the extended cut that may still exist somewhere.

Thanks Metallica to open my eyes to this
