I'm astonished you haven't hit 1k.

I understand all those facts. but how can one decide how much time is required for the audience to feel that emotion. I sometimes feel some emotions quickly, as in the real life too. you suddenly see a person in pain and you instantly relate to them. I do not need to observe them for long to feel the same. however, we can never feel the same pain as the character as there is a lot of backstory with the core emotional subconscious attached to it. if you have shown this in the film(which is almost impossible in a three hour film as per the 'rules' of slow cinema), then it's justified, otherwise you are just forcing your intellect upon them.

brilliant

great work!

Hello, thank you very much for your videos, could you pass some subtitles or put them on? thank you so much

very cool video. its as if my eyes got opened now aboout the potentiial this medium witholds with it to transform mankind. and where has it been going in the comercial space. thank you!!

Great essay! Although there may be better examples of “Slower” films than Ghost Story, it serves perfectly in support of your thesis. Ghost Story has to be one of my favourite movies of all time!! Good Luck in you ambition to direct Slow Cinema, I endeavour to do just the same thing. If only there was more of an audience, it could be more viable to produce such films. These films take time and money, breaking even would be great. Making a living? Now THAT would be a dream!!!

❤

Amazing work and well presented 👏🏾

I've been obsessed with Schrader's movies for the better part of a year now, trying to understand his take and prospective on things and how he expresses layered ideologies through his craft. This was a very good and insightful video that has made me want to rewatch some of his movies. Would love to hear your thoughts on his latest, The Card Counter (2022). Very similar to First Reformed but also not alike at all! He also has another movie on the way dealing with similar themes (and in a way completing a trilogy). Great video again! Hope you make more.

are you going to make anymore videos?

amazing video!

Amazing essay. Thank you 🌻

This is an amazing video

Only thing i have to criticize about this video is something you cannot change, i might sound misogynist, but your feminine high pitched voice is like a dagger to my ears, sorry for being harsh but this is blunt truth.

I just made a short film using these principles

What's your Instagram.

Is there anyway I can get in contact with the Director. I want to ask him what gave him the idea to portray this sort of character in his movie. Has he ever came across a man like William in real life or better you ask him and tell him a big fan is highly interested in watching all his movies after watching the movie card counter

I think the assistant uses boredom so well. I like to describe it as watching paint dry. It’s beautiful, painful, gritty, and real. I’d highly recommend it.

This is such a well woven video. Thank you for sharing! It's a great video to show people who might not vibe with this style of film making.

What a great analysis on one of my favorite films Firsr Reformed! Will you do more?

amazing! love this video and love your voice 🖤

Hey, could you perhaps provide a small list of films which could serve as a nice introduction to slow cinema?

Really enjoyed this. I've been doing long performances, and slow cinema is the way I'm approaching its documentation. Thanks for sharing!

I love this video essay. It's so thought provoking and inspiring. You are truly gifted. From your writing, speaking, editing, and to the way you view films. I hope you continue to make more. Also do you have a Letterboxd? I love learning about new films and perspectives by following people who are this knowledgeable and passionate about film.

Amazing Essay. Would you consider 2001 to be slow cinema?

I like films that take their time to build up a certain mood, to create fleshed out characters, or to establish topicality before a plot takes off. I like to be given time to take details in, to linger on the beauty or ugliness of a scene, to immerse myself in the world inhabited by the characters, to make up my own mind about what is going on instead of being rushed and forcefully told by characters and closeups what to pay attention to. That's why this essay is interesting to me. Thanks for the insights. Here's a few well-paced movies I can recommend: "2001: A Space Odyssey", "The American", "Apocalypse Now", "Arrival", "Blade Runner", "Call Me by Your Name", "The Cement Garden", "The Crying Game", "Dark Star", "Dead Man", "Dead Man Walking", "Easy Rider", "Far From Heaven", "Foxcatcher", "Hana-bi", "Heaven's Gate", "The Hunger", "In Bruges", "The Invitation", "The Lighthouse", "Lost in Translation", "Loving Vincent", "Mandy", "Marriage Story", "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World", "mother!", "Nightcrawler", "Once Upon a Time in the West", "Only Lovers Left Alive", "Parasite", "Portrait of a Lady on Fire", "The Quiet American", "Rear Window", "The Sixth Sense", "Slow West", "Snow Falling on Cedars", "Solaris", "Stoker", "Taxi Driver", "There Will Be Blood", "Tideland", "The Tree of Life", "Valhalla Rising", "Vanishing Point", "Wadjda", "The Way West", "Winter's Bone", "The VVitch", "Witness", "World on a Wire".

please provide captions..thnx :)

I loved your use of language! Are you on Twitter?

Loved it. Congrats.

I'm really anxious about Paul Schrader's newest film, I want another first reformed and I love Oscar Isaac so much but the premise sounds so generic. <3

First of all I would like to clarify, I enjoyed this video a lot! I have a few points of contention though: My main gripe is a small detail, but I disagree with the sentiment that the long take is a recent development. Touch of Evil, The Player, Saving Private Ryan, and infamously Goodfellas. Heck, even gladiator has a few long takes in it. Also the recent Bond films, as well as Mission Impossible have employed long takes to great effect. I say this not to be nitpicky, but to point out the balance of Cinema. A film like Children of Men is a wonderous example of how a skilled filmmaker can use both slow and fast paced editing to their advantage. I enjoy long takes and down moments, but I often find a lot of films in this slow cinema movement tend to lack substance (obviously not all). Vitalina Varela is a really good example. I think it genuinely be on the most beautiful films I've ever seen from a purely visual standpoint. Yet I found myself in less of a meditative state, and more distracted and bored. The story of Vitalina is a straightforward one, not needing much explanation, but it seems as if there is almost not text. It's a purely sub textual film. To me this is just as dangerous as the overly textual (or expositive) blockbusters coming out. They're opposite extremes of the spectrum of film, rebelling against each other. All this to say, it's not that I necessarily disagree with the appreciation or the observations of this video, but just the sentiment that one is better than the other... P.S. Mad Max is an art film: change my mind.

Yea, please upload more!

I'm interested in seeing what you do with the techniques. Good luck to you.

This is a great video essay. Slow Cinema is my core area of interest as well, though im not a filmmaker but theory student. So glad to find this channel!

I always find myself depressed when I think about the art careers. Then these essays makes me enough selfless and more inquisitive of art. You are optimism. Thank you Elizabeth. Need these more

Ver nice i'm happy i've found you

Great video !

Such a great and genuine video essay. I seriously wonder why you don't have more subscribers.

Really enlightening video essay! I not only learned a lot but really enjoyed it too.

loved it!

I don't understand the use of the word "boredom". I mean, yes, these are harder films and ones that ask a lot more from the viewer, but that's just another way of watching a film, and I can say I've never felt like that effort asked to me by the movie causes boredom. Maybe I get tire, but more as when you do physical exercise. I'd say it is boring if you look at these films from the view of hollywood blockbusters, but if you don't, I truly think these films are amazingly entertaining.

This is one of the most beautiful essay that i've ever seen. And i've seen plenty of them.

Great video.. Make more of these

and Guy Maddin? nice video by the way

its great! is there any chance to get the essay in text form?

Its a very interesting idea you follow in this video, I like that your videos are more condensed to whats necessary to understand a certain topic or make a certain idea clear. Maybe a good topic for a video essay, could be, since you dealt with a topic such as boredom, melancholic films and how what they work. Your videos are great, I hope there will be more.

Thanks for the amazing essay! I am a student studying video game making and this was really helpful. Current video game industry is full of fast-paced games without any artistic aspiration or even a small amount of meaning. I want to create something meaningful through video game and differentiate my games from other games. I am also trying using slow-paced progression in my games to encourage players to respond interactually. Again, thanks for this wonderful essay! It deserves more views :D
