Bergman is one of the greats, but he relied too much on the characteristics of film that it shares with the theatre, not what is unique about the medium (if only he had continued on with what he did in Persona though, clearly his masterpiece)

I've looked over a few titles on Wikipedia. Nothing even close to being famous. You know movies from the 50s, 60s, and 70s are still watchable, right? You can even get on Netflix to watch some of the great classics from those decades. But can you find any of his 'art' in there? I don't think so. You can stick to watching some guy and his objectively bad movies, but don't try and say he's good because nobody's ever heard of him. He's had 40 years to let his films surface and they still haven't. That should tell you something.

Are you fucking kidding me? He is widely acclaimed as the best. He isn't some sort of underground artist making films that only 20 people have seen. He's literally the most famous arthouse director of all time.

Bergman is so entry level and overrated it hurts. None of his films are truly profound, at least not at the same caliber of the films of directors who truly exhibit a cinematic mastery, or are deserving of outstanding praise.

I legitimately love Bergman. If anyone knew how to produce an unforgettable image, it was him. Death in The Seventh Seal, countless scenes in Persona, the scene of the sister dying in Cries & Whispers. He's one of the all time best IMO.

Tarkovsky put no thought into his films. He even admits this himself. His only aim was to pander to you on an emotional level, which he also admits to in interviews. There's nothing wrong with this outright, provided you can realize and view his films justly. There's no "elevation" compared to, say, Tarr.
>>
>>64982179
Bullshit, there is a lot of great Japanese kino.
>>
>>64982154

Also the fact that Bresson could use no-name actors and create masterpieces, where Bergman has his select troupe of elite actresses/actors that he uses in all his films.

I say Bresson has an edge on him for that reason. Bergman really liked to stay in her comfort zone.

The reason why Bergman seems entry level is because he is one of the best arthouse directors and all cinemafags like him round the board. He is like the Elvis of kino. No one can hate him everyone likes him despite their personal tastes.

I personally like black metal but love me some Elvis now and then and usually I am into fantasy and horror shit moviewise but love me some Bergman too.

Tarkovsky proved it's not about the deep thoughts, it's not about the artist imposing his beliefs or ideas and trying to communicate that in the form of a symbol or meaning in any form that may take whether it be imagery or the music being played in a particular scene. It's showing things and letting you decide. He had the utmost faith in the viewers allowing them the opportunity to draw their own conclusions rather than being told what the conclusion is.
The natural and destined conclusion to art is a return to simplicity.

Came here to post this. His movies were great but aside from Persona they feel more like plays than cinema. Probably because he was a theater director before branching into movies?

It does, at least for me. He elevated filmmaking from a 'nickelodeon novelty' to an artform. I can't remember anybody who had as much of a transformative effect on the medium as he did.

The answer is actually Bergman
And his best film is the Magician

Tarkovsky only made films that were arcane, lofty, transcendental, obscure, ethereal, and in that regard automatically deems himself inferior to Bergman, whose images control the ordinary rather than flee to the sublime

>tfw not a pleb but in general prefer American cinema so people just assume that you're anthropocentric when really you just really connect to the kinds of things that seminal American filmmakers have laid out
>>
>>64986318
don't really think it's a very valid rhetorical technique to lay out someone as immensely talented as Truffaut as if he were representative of a large demographic of filmmakers to somehow prove that Bergman were less spectacular. Seems actually like terrible thinking when compared to actually articulating the judgements behind your statement

is there anything more annoying than a film snob

yeah I appreciate Bergman and Tarkovsky but imo action is pure cinema and there is nothing more impressive than a good action scene. I would much rather rewatch a Jackie Chan or a Buster Keaton movie and study the action than jerk off over Tarkovsky's images
>>
>>64986652
I would rather view profound art, that shows me humanity/life/love/death etc. in a way I haven't seen before, than mindless time wasting action.

What can you learn from an action scene? Nothing.

If you think that this is snobbish and pretentious then so be it. I don't care.

not american = automaticaly good is the biggest pleb filter

people who think they know a lot about film because they watched coupe foreign movies and people who say "lol I don't only watch american movies" are the biggest plebs

don't get me wrong foreign cinema is interesting (most of my favorite movies are German and I'm not German) and love seeing how different countries approach film but I often see Americans think European cinema is somehow better than American and they're dead wrong. Independent American cinema right now is way better than anything outside America and I can without a doubt say everything that comes out of my country is absolute shit

film 101 pebs underestimate american cinema cause they just discovered their first european director

>>
>>64986711
>I would rather view profound art, that shows me humanity/life/love/death etc. in a way I haven't seen before,

who says action can't do that

perfectly executed action is as much as pure cinema as an "art film" is

The Odessa Steps sequence is literally an action set piece
>>
>>64986574
Vertigo is one of the most daring experiments in genre history. The use of colour, lens, editing, music and narrative perspective is near unmatched. It's a masterful psychological character study and an allegory of film making in itself. It's the idea of epistemology remodeling ontology.

They can't even accept that most Kim Ki-duk movies are terrible.

I think you're reading too much into the concept of perspective. That's like saying [insert novel] is all about voyeurism because of the nature of its prose, when really that's all novels.

You can have
>Use of colour
and that's about it.

Films are books but told visually.

>>64986887
>I so frequently feel like people have tricked themselves into liking average foreign films.

literally most palme d'or winners

pleb youtube channels like Yourmoviesucks jerk off to those movies and get their fans parrot their opinions

Kim Ki Duk is hilarious tho I legit enjoy most of his movies but I think of a lot of them as comedies
>>
>>64986921
Film is narrative told visually. Prose is a very specific mode of narrative.
>>
>>64986937
Look at this retard everyone

Hitchcock understood the visual language of film masterfully but he was like the Fincher of his era, he would've been better if he had been around 10 - 20 years later so the studios wouldn't been afraid of his more darker ideas
>>
>>64986959
>prose and cinema are the same
is completely retarded

Films in the same way employ different styles. The two aren't so different.

I'll let Kubrick explain why that's so

>I believe Bergman, De Sica and Fellini are the only three filmmakers in the world who are not just artistic opportunists. By this I mean they don’t just sit and wait for a good story to come along and then make it. They have a point of view which is expressed over and over and over again in their films, and they themselves write or have original material written for them.

Made plenty of great movies, but never managed to make a true masterpiece. Bergman, Tarkovsky, Fellini, all made several 10/10 masterpieces. Heck, even Coppola did it three times

He's a director who makes movies genetically engineered to appeal to imdbspawn /v/edditors with no sense of sophistication who laud meme dialog, which supports upvote groupthink mentality and meme acting with a good tv show pandering reddit tier post-capeshit "entertainment" sensibilities and a meme aesthetic.
