Anything would be appreciated!
Would Paul Thomas Anderson serve as a good example of an art house film director?
It's so annoying hearing people say they won't watch of movie because they'll have to read subtitles
They are certainly missing out.
I don't find it annoying. But a weird combo of amusing and depressing, somehow.
I find it borderline racist weirdly enough. I mean the rest of the world has to watch our movies with subtitles why can't we do the same?
Eric Visser They dont HAVE to.
This is how I feel when I hear people say this about Indian movies. They just brush it aside as Bollywood and as "oh it has songs." They fail to realize that there is a breadth of work like the Apu trilogy by Satyajit Ray (a man that Scorcesse and Kurosawa praised back then) or Super Deluxe (which is on Netflix btw).
"A Beginner's Guide," but you give me several dozen movies and several dozen directors for when those are through, enough to give me months or possibly years of watching. I love it.
Completely to the point, thoroughly researched, well paced and edited, no annoying intro and outro, and you include the titles of the films in the corner of the screen. 10/10.
Thank you! I'm all about the lack of annoying intros, haha.
I think Kubrick and Lynch are probably the ultra-accessible end of the spectrum when it comes to art-house. I think Kubrick's films border "mainstream" as a result of this, not simply because he is a mainstream director.
Also a good starting point would be to watch a Tarantino documentary and just watch all of the movies he likes.
@@K1llerTunes What's the name of the documentary?
Does 2001 qualify as an Art House film though?
@@iammaybeabro4598 not but its not a mainstream movie either
That's because they are american directors and it's bizzare to even think about it.
_Seven Samurai_ may well be over three hours long, but it sure doesn't feel like it. That film just flies by when you're watching it
Definitely! I haven't seen it in a long time, I need to rewatch it soon.
_Kingdom of Heaven_ is another one. Scott's cut is close on four hours, but feels like ninety minutes because it's so well paced
im half way through it , im also analysing it (maybe with lack of education lol.)
I love Seven Samurai I even made a review to understand why is it over looked as a great movie.
@@classicmodernfilms7602 "I even made a review to understand why is it over looked as a great movie."
It isn't though.
Arthouse films need to make a serious comeback!
I am sick and tired of all the Marvel Avengers Rollercoaster flicks and I am definitely fed up to the brim with the already exhausted Fast and Furious popcorn flicks! Enough is enough! We need more arthouse films...NOW!!!
They never left
Uaint Shytho facts, however, it’s no secret that their place within the movie theater had been shoved aside by overproduced big budget films. Not that I want Marvel movies out of cinemas, but I wish wouldn’t have been so hard to find a theater that played the lighthouse and parasite. It’s particularly hard in the US where people couldn’t be bothered with subtitles.
Poor Things is a modern arthouse film and it did very well in theaters.
So often the conversations around these movies can be daunting or seem condescending to the casual film fan way to work to make it accessible without a hint of pretension
Thanks!
some of my suggestions:
- Ray's in his Apu trilogy's
- Ozu's in his Noriko trilogy's
and also, one of the greatest film in contemporary cinema, Yang's A Brighter Summer Day.
I was 50 this year, and only today have I found the name of the types of films I've been enjoying since my 20's. It means now, I have the keywords for research on more films to watch, alongside resource content like of course. Very much appreciated! 🙏
Béla Tarr’s Werckmeister Harmonies is a must.
I think alternating between Godard and Bergman is the best way to get into art house cinema. The greatest challenge for newbies is to find fulfillment from watching experimental and generally absurdist films. The reason why I tell people to alternate between Godard and Bergman is because though both are experimental, their approaches are polarized. Godard’s films generally have plots that are simple but his editing and cinematography is bizarre especially for unfamiliar eyes. On the other hand, Bergman’s films generally have simple yet beautiful cinematography, but the themes he projects are far from straightforward and are always open for your interpretation. I think alternating between the two will help you ease into this brand of cinema.
Funnily enough is that Godard was very fond of Bergman while Bergman himself criticized Godard on numerous occasions.
Excellent analysis.
Two other really great directors are Jean Cocteau (especially his films Orphée and The Blood of the Poet) and Jean Vigo who died very young and so only got to make one feature film and three short films, but was still incredibly influential French art cinema and the French New Wave, especially Truffaut
Yes, they are both great as well!
We watched almost all movies from this list. We watched many movies and all the time we want, also, create some new view on cinema art and we experimented with documentary videos wich we film on hip hop paty in our town. Then we create a movie from this videos. You can watch it on this link. ua-cam.com/video/LNqL9tAKkoY/v-deo.html
Good list.. Nicely made. 👍👍
I have seen Satyajit Ray & Akira Kurasawa' s film long time back. Thank you for reintrodusing these great films.
Love this. Got into art house film from reading Letterboxd lists, etc. I actually started with some of Bergman’s works, moving to Russian directors like Tarkovsky. Have recently started in on the French New Wave directors and will be moving to Kurosawa works soon enough. The Criterion Channel and Letterboxd are in my opinion the two greatest resources for people wanting to start the journey of getting more out of cinema than mainstream actions or dramas.
Wong Kar Wai and Tarkovsky are two of my favorite directors of all time now and have enjoyed everyone of their films.
Great video, if you have a Letterboxd, I’d love to give a follow!
Sure here ya go! letterboxd.com/kubricklynch23/
Thank you so much for the guidance.
Excellent! We need more videos like this; more channels like this.
Great beginners guide! I think one great underrated arthouse director would be Masaki Kobayashi who directed the original Harakiri and the grand “dinosaur” trilogy, The Human Condition. His films are superb
Underrated channel, subscribed!
Great selections! On par with the best film school recommendations . 1 more mention, Ousmane Sembene’s “Black Girl!” Arguably, the first internationally recognized film made in Africa and an Arthouse classic!
I would argue that Kubrick is actually an excellent director to start with if you're interested in art house movies. He has a pretty wide range of themes and styles to explore in his catalog.
Fantastic list. I have been meaning to take the time to re-watch some of these, now I have a few more to add to the list. Cheers!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
thanke you so much for the guidance 🌹
For a modern and very personal example of Arthouse films check out the Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan, whose movies won several Cannes awards including the palm d'or in recent years.
I actually have not seen any of his films, but I will definitely have to check them out at some point!
There are some similarities to Angelopoulos and Tárr. I would start with "Uzak".
Thank you: there are very few American youtubers who know about cinema and also talk about non-American films.
Agnès Varda is one that i think is very important to watch films of. Cleo and la pointe-courte are especially important and after that probably Vagabond or the creatures after those.
As someone brand new to this kind of movie, I love the suggestions and would recommend Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. That’s the one that got me interested in more “arty” movies, I don’t know if you’d call it an art house movie though.
I screened "wings of desire" at my cinema ... not many fans lol... it was long!!!! lol .I like the techniques they used like stoking over the lense and color being vision of living.
Good list. I'd add the Dardenne brothers' work. Start with La Promesse and L'enfant.
Thanks a lot for this.
Excellent selection of directors and films. Personally, I would add
De Sica (The Bicycle Thieves, Umberto D)
Almodovar (All About My Mother, Bad Education)
Mike Leigh (Life Is Sweet, Secrets and Lies)
I started to explore art films around 16 years old but plan to watch them when I'm older.
Are you saying that seriously or ironically(I dont know If I'm using ironically properly)
If you are why?
Just watched my first art house movie last night. I can confidently say The Seventh Seal was a masterpiece, it really had an impact on me
@@CalmBacchus I will add it to my list. Thank you very much for the recommendation 😁
For me the best entry to arthouse would be Kubrick’s 2001 A Space Odyssey, Kurosawa’s Ran, Bergman’s Fanny and Alexander - all are accessible while giving shape to the art house aesthetic. Further ventures could include French New Wave, Fellini and the rest of Kurosawa.
i just love art house movies here are a few of my favourites
- Beyond the the black rainbow
- under the skin
- Dead man
- Eraserhead
- Mulholland Drive
- Moon
and many more
I wouldn’t consider Moon to be arthouse, kind of like Kubrick it’s in the blur line, although the film is way weaker than most of his works
Beyond the Black Rainbow is one of my favorite movies!!!
If you enjoy arthouse films, Passion River Films has a great selection of different arthouse films to check out.
I'd also add Jacques Demy to this list. If you're someone into musicals, especially classic Hollywood technicolor ones, Demy's movies would appeal to you a lot
BTW your channel is the best and I'm binge watching your videos
Thank you!!
Thanks for making this. Very helpful
Glad you enjoyed!
I’d also recommend that the individual get a Criterion subscription and just go ham. That’s what I’m doing right now
Great list!
Just a thought, but if you're a beginner to "art-house cinema" your first Tarkovksy should probably be "The Sacrifice" or "Ivan's Childhood" which are both fairly linear and easy to grasp. As for Peter Greenaway, "The Draughtsman's Contract" is his first and (IMHO) most accessible film -- a Blow-Up for the 17th century.
"The sacrifice" is very non-linear and probably Tarkovskys hardest film. But also one of his greatest.
Good work!
What introduced me to arthouse films is gus van sants final days
I haven't see many channels like your's.
All support and love to your channel😍😍👍👍
And I am happy to share these videos and recommend your channel to others as well
What I love about your channel is not the number of videos uploaded but the quality a d information it provides
Thank you so much!!!
@@kubricklynch Actually You deserves more subscribers for your commitment .There are very few people who genuinely admire actual films
I would also mention directors such as Bela tarr, Roy Andersson and Yorgos Lanthimos. They all have very definitive style in directing and all have shaped my personal view on cinema. Gaspar Noe as well is worth mentioning since he has been widely recognised with his recent films.
Those are all great directors!
3:53: "... But not a personal favorite."
Oh, man. That hurt to hear. "8 1/2" had such a deep impact on me, and while it's very meta and inspired by Fellini's personal situation at the time, I personally don't consider it "autobiographical" in the conventional sense at all. It's very relatable, especially if you've been around the block a few times in life and can empathize with the main character's struggle with ego.
No. 1 tip. Just start watching.
Pasolini is one of my favorites, especially the Gospel According to St Matthew. Imo the best film about Christ.
ohh thank u so much
great list for someone diving into arthouse movies, i would add some iranian directors like Makhmalbaf, Kiarostami..
"Gabbeh" and "24 frames" are masterpieces!
Very well chosen examples, I think.
Thank you.
I’m surprised Jim Jarmusch wasn’t even mentioned but besides that this was a really great video
Thanks! Unfortunately, there were tons of directors I didn't have time to mention.
i miss that they be very few art-house theatre now , even when i was 15 there at least two down one street where i had lived , hardly to bee seen now
Thank you for including Kieslowski's 3 Colours Trilogy. I have seen almost everything on your list and Rouge from the trilogy remains to be my favorite work.
Who directed “weekend” I’ve been trying to look for it and I’m getting no luck
@@3modes Jean-Luc Godard
Berlin bride is my favorite art house movie :)
Tarkovsky is the legend of art house cinema
thank you
Have you seen films by Sergei Parajanov and Yuri Ilyenko? I loved The Color of Pomegranates and A Spring for the Thirsty.
I have seen Color of Pomegranates but not A Spring for the Thirsty. I will have to check that out.
@@kubricklynch Parajanov is great! I'm surprised I didn't see Jodorowski named in your list (even though you included a short clip at 0:09)
Now we have gasper noē and Nicolas winding refn which both are very artsy and weird
Have you seen Climax?
Yea loved it
Thank you.
Thank you!
For Buñel I'd say to start with The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. It's longer than Un Chien Andalou, (as a full-length movie) but more accessible and comedic. Also, I've got to mention John Water's films, for just being so insane to watch for the boundaries they push. Jodorowsky's movies are great too, I love The Holy Mountain. And for closer to the mainstream, most movies from A24 are amazing, and I especially like Moonlight and the work of Yorgos Lanthimos.
Jodorowsky is trash for stoners, and a rapist
I already watched or at least heard about all the movies mentioned in this video...
But it's an interesting video anyways!
Thank youuu
You are welcome.
HOLY MOUNTAIN
Maybe some of the most early works of these directors (that i don't remember mentioned in this TERRIFFIC video) can be also reffered as Art House:
Jean Cocteau
Jean-Pierre Melville
Carl Theodor Dreyer
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger
John Cassavetes
Jan Švankmajer
Alfred Hitchcock
Roman Polanski
The Coen Brothers
Roger Corman
What do you think?
Great job on the video
Thanks!
@@kubricklynch No problem, these are definitely great starting points, nicely presented.
Well I got my may sorted
Include some indian parallel or art movies too.
Great list , brother but can you make a video about satyajit ray films 🙂
For me best filmmakers Trier and Emir Baigazin
Watch the phantom of the paradise. I consider it an Art house film.
Would Paul Schrader be considered art house? I'm thinking particularly his movie, "Mishima, A Life in Four Chapters".
Morella Almann oh definetely
Loved the video but Kurosawa's films were never a art house cinemas imo...you will never get a dull moment in his movies...it's always gripping but also entertaining...
I liked the video a lot just a bit sad that you didn't mentioned Pierrot Le Fou but yeah
recommending Andrzej Żuławski
Cool video man:). My favorites movies on these clips are : White Ribbon, 400 Blows, Aguirre Wrath Of God, Blue, Pather Panchelli, 2001 Space Odyssey:)
I make cartoons:)
Thanks! I will check out your cartoons.
I appreciate it:)
You should make an arthouse animation
The Apu trilogy by Satyajit Ray is a masterpiece.
What about Hana-bi by Kitano Takeshi
Some others
Vivre sa vie, l’avventura, high and low, amelie, cinema paradiso, sympathy for mr. vengeance, oldboy, harakiri, contempt, Fallen angels, the mirror, persona, wild strawberry’s etc
good
Could you also mention where are these movies available?
i would like you to watch Satyajit Ray's Jolsaghor (the music room) Devi(The goddess), Charulata (the lonely wife) and Agontuk (The Stranger) i personally feel charulata is ray's best work; be it the camera movement or the scripts or the storyline. however his later films have really strong scripts like gonosotru(the public enemy) and shakha prosakha . surely do watch it out. these are generally available on UA-cam.
Cool, yeah I haven't seen a ton from Ray. I will definitely check those out soon.
@@kubricklynch I will suggest you to watch the movie 'Nayak' by Ray
Alfred Hitchcock, John Ford, Howard Hawks, David Lean hold their own in the art cinema world.
This is why everyone should at least take one intro to film uni course.
I see Jesse James in your profile pic. My favorite movie of all time...
wait is this channel in the same UA-cam cinematic universe with Academy of Ideas?
Would you consider Paul Thomas Anderson Arthouse?
Especially his films: The Master & Inherent Vice
Hm. Good question. I'd say he straddles the line. Inherent Vice was pretty arthouse-y.
kubricklynch - Film History and Reviews interesting. What is your favourite PTA film?
Tyrone Blackness for me he is
Are there any directors like ingmar bergman?
This video is a light in the end of the tunnel. Besides, art house is such an interesting concept.
Antonio Victor Makes me want to write an arthouse film!
What are some modern art house films people would like to recommend? 2000 to 2020?
The White Ribbon, Climax, Mulholland Drive, Funny Games, Uncle Boonmee who can Recall his Past Lives, The Turin Horse, Dogville, Melancholia
So I wasn't crazy for getting art house vibes from Krubick. Does Pasolini count as art house director?
Definitely.
Hey bro, how are you able to show clips from the movie without the youtube video getting flagged? Great video btw, took some notes.
I keep the clips to under 10 seconds.
Also, I think not having the sound helps. I've found I'm a lot less likely to get flagged if I use older/foreign/more obscure films.
Liked it a lot but wish you had mentioned German expressionism
What do you think of Terrence Mallick films?
big fan!
I know we are all supposed to love Akira Kurosawa, but I've *tried and tried* to watch these films but could not get into them or enjoy them.
I'm surprised to see Stalker on this list.
Arthouse or indie films are generally hit or miss fare. While I do like quite a few (e.g. GARAGE, FUNNY GAMES, ANOMALISA, STRAIGHT STORY, CENSOR, PAPRIKA- Satoshi Kon), many of them can be just insufferable such as MIDSOMMAR or SUSPIRIA, the original and remake.
Terrence Malick?
Go watch films by ABBAS KIAROSTAMI !!
What about agnes verda
