    Great channel love, I love your work. One criticism that I have is the way you enter into your analysis, I would flesh out the story a bit more before going into the interpretation. Also if you want to work on some film related projects let me know, I love editing and working with tech maybe I could help boost your show

  • @blinkzone1
    @blinkzone1 7 років тому +6

    I think my fav film of 2017 is "Novitiate". Other films enjoy seeing are "A Ghost Story", "The Disaster Artist", "Lady Bird" and "Thelma". Films I still have to check out and see are "I Tonya", "Phantom Thread" "The Florida Project", "Molly's Game", "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" and "The Last Jedi"

  • @chrisleegitfilms
    @chrisleegitfilms 6 років тому

    I will definitely be checking out Nocturama as soon as I can! My personal favorite film of 2017 was a small movie called Columbus, written/directed by video essayist, Kogonada. It's a minimalist, contemplative, and peaceful film that feels reminiscent of Linklater's intimate conversations and Ozu's framing and pacing. Would definitely recommend. :)

  • @nojayork7707
    @nojayork7707 7 років тому +12

    Think you would like French film " Personal Shopper" with Kristen Stewart.

  • @MontyDatta
    @MontyDatta 7 років тому

    I thought Three Billboards was going ot be a lock for my favorite film of 2017 but then I saw COCO and it made me cry my eyes out. yeah Coco has to be my favorite of not just 2017 put probably one of my favorites of all time. It just hit me too hard.
    Also loved Good Time, The Shape of Water, Get Out, Ladybird, Columbus, Logan, War for the Planet of the Apes, Brawl in Cellblock 99 are in my top 10.

    I'm all about that Phantom Thread, but if I'm being honest I'm way too much of a PTA fanboy to not absolutely love everything he does. I'm curious as to what you think about The Shape of Water.

    Did you miss Blade Runner 2049? I can't find a review of it on your site. Is there one? If not do you plan on seeing/reviewing it? I'm very curious about what you think about it. Thanks

  • @MontyDatta

    I have seen Nocturama also I really didnt know what to think of it after it was such a unique and weird movie. Part of me loved it.

  • @ryanrudolph5667
    @ryanrudolph5667 Рік тому

    Phantom Thread. But the greatest omission(if you consider it a film) is Twin Peaks The Return. The Return is one of the best movies ever made. Funnily enough it is one of Bertrand Bonello’s favourite films. He selected it for his top 10 in the 2022 sight and sound poll.

  • @franktovar617
    @franktovar617 7 років тому +1

    "The Lost City of Z" had a great sense of the contemporary significance of history, which I found engaging and moving.

  • @technicallystupid25
    @technicallystupid25 6 років тому +2

    I just saw "The Lost City of Z" on Netflix, because you praised the movie. I'm new to your channel, but from what you review (like Kubrick's films, There Will Be Blood and so on), I thought I'd give it a shot... Films are subjective when it comes to make up your own opinion about a moive, but this movie was definitely NOT a great movie, I would say. I stayed away from other reviews of the movie, and only watched the trailer. It was not a terribly movie, there are good parts of it. The story itself is really interesting and I was so ready to go on a journey with Fawcett and his crew, and the parts of the jungle were really good, and Charlie Hunnam did a really good job at capturing this man's life and obsession with "Z". But my god it could have been better. I think some parts with his family were not nearly as interesting as when he was in the jungle. There was an unnecessary scene with a witch or some shit and the title of the movie itself was kind of misleading, because most of the movie didn't even take place in the jungle. Parts of Fawcett's life was necessary to the movie, but the direction of the movie wasn't that impressive I think, and you even mentioned that it was better the second time you watched it... Some parts and the pacing bored my mind (I have like you watched slow paced, different movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, and that movie barely has a plot, but I still love it), but I'm not saying it was a terrible movie, nor that it was too long. It just felt long, and the story of the "Lost City of Z" and Fawcett were far more interesting than the movie itself. It was a fine/good movie, and after the movie I thought to myself: "That's it?". Don't get me wrong, the atmosphere in the jungle, the cinematography, the music and the performances were good, but it could have been better. I don't know if you liked this movie so much is because of James Gray, or you just simply liked it, but the movie could have been better. Hell, even after I watched it, I checked the IMDB just to read what other have said about it, and it did disappoint many people. I'm NOT the kind of guy, who changes opinion 100 % just because others have a different opinion, but it felt a bit hollow in the end, and as I mentioned earlier, my intial thought at the end was "that's it?". There were certainly better films that could fill the spot instead of this movie.

    @seminole17910 6 років тому

    Nice list. I want to see "The Florida Project" My favorite movies of 2017 were "Blade Runner 2049" and "The Shape of Water" My favorite performances were Sally Hawkins (Shape) and Gary Oldman in "Darkest Hour." as Winston Churchill. The movie bored me to tears but Oldman was amazing!! I liked "The Post" as well as it is a very relevant movie for our time. "The Post" was good but not quite good enough to make my "best of 2017"

    nocturama was a favourite of mine as well, a really unique & wonderful surprise, & i agree that it really benefits from the skeletal storytelling - the characters are really only rough sketches of people.
    my own top ten:
    1) florida project
    2) a ghost story
    3) rat film
    4) the red turtle
    5) world of tomorrow episode two: the burden of other people's thoughts
    6) my life as a courgette
    7) raw
    8) shape of water
    9) nocturama

    "Parents have a child, and in doing so they bring into the world a monster that kills everything it comes in contact with."
    - Thomas Bernard
    "A coin is examined, and only after careful deliberation, given to a beggar, whereas a child is flung out into the cosmic brutality without hesitation."
    - Peter Wessel Zapfe
    "He seriously thought that there is less harm in killing a man than producing a child: in the first case you are relieving someone of life, not his whole life but a half or a quarter or a hundredth part of that existence that is going to finish, that would finish without you; but as for the second, he would say, are you not responsible to him for all the tears he will shed, from the cradle to the grave? Without you he would never have been born, and why is he born? For your amusement, not for his, that’s for sure; to carry your name, the name of a fool, I’ll be bound - you may as well write that name on some wall; why do you need a man to bear the burden of three or four letters?"
    -Gustave Flaubert

      Yeah, like we went from Gladiator winning best picture to Whiplash not winning, because there were even better ones. I think the quality of films was at a low point in the late 1990s, early 2000s, and now we are getting good movies again.
