    I can’t believe they shrunk Scorsese, put him inside an empty, antifreeze, container, & put a mic up to the opening when he went on this rant. It’s truly remarkable.

    My buddy and I scored tickets to the NY premiere for this, last seats available, front row at the big ass IMAX with a q+a with Ari Aster and Scorsese after. When we got there they had two folding chairs facing the audience about 5 feet to our left. Right before the movie started they kicked out the guy sitting right next to us because he was gonna be too close to Marty and Ari. We were shitting ourselves that we'd be next.
    That anxiety combined with seeing this 3-hour fever dream front row on the biggest screen in America, then having fucking Scorsese come out and sit within an arm's length of us and talk about cinema, absolutely my highlight bizarre experience of the year. The eyebrows look even better in person.

    Whether you like the film or not, Ari Aster was in 100% control of it from start to finish, as he has been with all his films. I don’t even care for Midsommar but you can tell he accomplished what he set out to do, making him 3 for 3 so far.

    I don't really know anything technical about film, but Ari Aster films make me feel ill the same way Wes Anderson films do. Not in a gross-out sense, just each of the aesthetic constants makes me feel disgusted to the point I can't concentrate. And they seem to both be beloved, so I don't know how to reconcile that.

    I haven’t seen Beau is Afraid but it looks like a really cool and creative film from A24 but I wish it did better at the box office because ever since this film flopped at the box office A24 has had to produce more “commercial friendly” movies which sucks because in a world where we boring franchises movies A24 was the one film studio that took risk with the films they put out.

      @@paulelroy6650 I think the term pretentious gets thrown around a lot when it's not justified sometimes, but Beau is Afraid is aggressively pretentious. Ari Aster has said on a bunch of occasions that it's his best film (which it definitely isn't). It's a solid hour too long, but he think people will love every second, cos he's just a genius. It's like Tarantino's weakest movie Death Proof. It's a decent film, but there's long sections of quite poor dialogue that doesn't advance the plot at all, but he just thinks cos he'd proved he was a good filmmaker and everyone was bumming off him so much, that anything he wrote, people would love.

    I know the film nerds on here will speak about this movie as a misunderstood masterpiece, but to me it was a huge miss. The themes of the overbearing mother and the stunted man-child were all way too on-the-nose, as were all the other analogies. The humour also mostly missed the mark. I’m a fan of Ari Aster. Hereditary is my favourite horror movie. This film, however, was bad.

      it think it is misunderstood in the sense that ion think ari was kidding when he kept saying this movie is dumb and don’t try to understand it. i think this is comedy in his eyes. i was always confused when my cousin told me he went to go see a movie called hereditary in 17’ (i knew of it but didn’t know much about it) and he laughed.. im like that new a24 horror movie.. then i watch a yr later and im fuccin horrified the entire time, confused on what was so funny. then i saw ari call that and midsommar black comedies.. like what 😂 midsommar yea is funny but still very creepy. beau to me was equal amount of horrifying and funny. i watched it not trying to understand but jus enjoy the ride, tried to anyway lmao i still haven’t seen it a second time because ive jus never seen anything that deranged on a epic scale.. wish i could of saw in imax. but yeah i think this movie was jus ari being a complete goofball with the storytelling strengths of hereditary & midsommar. it was on the nose yea and maybe shit still went over my head but that ending really fucked me up, another reason i haven’t revisited yet. it was so dark and cruel, it got this weird chuckle out of me cus something funny happened but it was so much going on in that las scene i felt like i was losing my marbles.. comedy films died in like what 2013-2017.. it’s definitely been coming back in different ways

      Implying that this movie failed in any creative sense is a remarkably stupid thing to say, especially when Scorsese is taking time from the end of his life to compare this to Barry Lyndon. He made what he wanted to make, and it connected with the audience that was willing to engage with it. More people like it as time goes on, and box office return shouldn't mean anything to anyone not working for a24. He's made plenty of money for them, and will keep making more.
