Let's discuss Cannes and the state of (((world))) cinema

Diversity only applies when it's about diminishing the presence of white males.

Probably because of Schwartzman. Francis comes from Italian immigrants, but the extended Coppola family has a lot of connections with Jews.

She was also married to a Jew -Jonze- and also cast a Jew -Scarjo- to play herself in Lost in Translation (the relationship with Scarjo and her artist bf is based on Coppola and Jonze)

Schwartzman was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of actress Talia Shire (née Coppola) and the late producer Jack Schwartzman. Schwartzman's brother is actor and musician Robert Schwartzman, and his paternal half-siblings are Stephanie and cinematographer John Schwartzman. Many other members of Schwartzman's family are involved in film: he is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, cousin of Nicolas Cage, Sofia Coppola, Roman Coppola and Christopher Coppola, and grandson of Italia Coppola (née Pennino) and Carmine Coppola. His first cousin once removed, his father Jack's first cousin, is Elliott B. Oppenheim, novelist and screenwriter.

His paternal grandparents were Polish Jewish immigrants

>>81604157
>Loveless, d’Andrey Zvyagintsev
Probably going to be the best movie of the year. Zvyagintsev is a neverending kinomaker, literally every single film of his has been fantastic. High hopes.

> You Were Never Really Here, de Lynne Ramsay

We Need to talk about Kevin was pretty bad, but in a bad way, where it seems the director is untalented rather than having a bad idea from the start. Not absolutely hopeless, but just bland, mediocre and uninteresting.

> Mise à mort du cerf sacré, de Yorgos Lanthimos

> Le people are austistic man

Despite that, atleast he's interesting. Probably won't love it, but will atleast check out.

> Wonderstruck, de Todd Haynes

Todd Haynes is competent mediocrity personified. Absolutely nothing interesting to say, but he's competent enough to not make bad movies.

> The Beguiled, de Sofia Coppola

Coppola has only made trash for almost fifteen years now. She's a complete hack and shouldn' be allowed to make anymore.

> Okja, de Bong Joon-Ho

Sadly, a talented director which refuses to continue to mkae good films (MoM, Mother), but instead wants to make absolutely horrible trash instead. This movie will suck, and I have no idea how it got into Cannes.

The Meyerowitz Stories, de Noah Baumbach

Mediocre meme director, but he's one of the few yanks who're actually honest. Sadly though that only reveals how shallow they are.

Also, who the fuck allowed /pol/ to talk about art? Shouldn't you guys be masturbating to one of the most failed world leaders who died seventy years ago? Fuck off.

>>81604157
You /pol/fags are such anti-intellectual paranoid idiots.
This is obviously a joke about brother Cohen being the jury presidents.

>>81604157
Loznitsa's last film screened at Cannes was Maidan. It's also the first time when he's in main competition. And what's wrong about female filmmakers?

>>81604157
>it's Cannes fault that alt-right psychopaths are creatively bankrupt morons
Even normal good conservative directors are rare. Art is inherently left-wing.

Not /pol/ and your reply is not an argument, why do you refuse to acknowledge this tribal communitarianism that erodes creativity and artistic integrity, which favors mediocre people based on their bloodline and networking skills rather than their innate talents and ability to connect with audiences on a sincere level? Are you really so blind that you fail to see the toxic effects this has on art, how they all tribally push the same values that undermine traditional western values, replacing them with downright propaganda with real social consequences? How this little ideological system also means that artists with different worldviews and aesthetic values cannot find budgets, express themselves and find audiences due to lack of a fair support structure? Are you this cinematically illiterate that you also cannot see how the landscape of world cinema has completely changed and has been ruined in a few decades, how much more artistically healthy and diverse the festival selections and winners were when timeless masterpieces with ambitious cinematic writing and complex human themes like Apocalypse Now, The Leopard or The Wages of Fear were the norm of winners (where are the equivalents today?) instead of instantly forgotten, poorly shot useful-idiots societal dramas like the trash peddled by Ken Loach, Kechiche or Dardennes? Who considers Entre les Murs (2008) or Dheepan (2015) important art world cinema or even remembers them?

Everything they touch, they contaminate and ruin.

>Playboy: For many years, American letters seemed dominated by Southern writers, but, as you have said, “during the last ten years the large percentage of the more talented American writers are urban Jewish intellectuals.” How do you feel about this shift in ethnic, geographic and literary emphasis?

>Capote: Well, it has brought about the rise of what I call the Jewish Mafia in American letters. This is a clique of New York-oriented writers and critics who control much of the literary scene through the influence of the quarterlies and intellectual magazines. All these publications are Jewish-dominated and this particular coterie employs them to make or break writers by advancing or withholding attention. I don’t think there’s any conscious, sinister conspiracy on their part–just adetermination to see that members of their particular clique rise to the top. Bernard Malamud and Saul Bellow and Philip Roth and Isaac Bashevis Singer and Norman Mailer are all fine writers, but they’re not the only writers in the country, as the Jewish literary Mafia would have us believe. I could give you a list of excellent writers, such as John Knowles and Vance Bourjaily and James Purdy and Donald Windham and Reynolds Price and James Leo Herlihy and Calder Willingham and John Hawkes and William Goyen; the odds are you haven’t heard of most of them, for the simple reason that the Jewish Mafia has systematically frozen them out of the literary scene.

Replace literature with cinema

>4 Jews out of 20 names
Truly the end of the World. And Cannes doesn't really like Jews. There was Israeli boycott at Cannes during their operation in Gaza.

>>81604770
> jewish nepotism

Nepotism exists everywhere and across all cultures, it's a habit of human nature, where we aren't inherently risktaking unless you need to be. You'd rather hire someone you know, or think you know, than an unknown (assuming their skills are similar). Same reason why non-whites are regulerly discriminated against in job search applications, yet you don't see /pol/ rioting against this.

This isn't a call to arms against ethno-nepotism, this is antisemitic wankery.

> Only jews can express themselves now

Certain artists and worldviews will always be suppressed, sometimes fairly (for they have nothing interesting to say. The regular middleclass wank about depression is of interest to no one) sometimes unfairly. It's assuming you use discrimination as part of the argument, seing how historically minorities have been the group to have it the most difficult to make art from their worldview and aesthetic values? Try making a film about the difficulties of assuming a different masculine identity while bing in teh closet in the 1950's, oh wait, that didn't happen because they couldn't.

> le cinema is abd now meme

Cinema keeps evolving as an artform, and it's literally impossible for you even be remotely knowledgeable to make a statement like "cinema is bad now". You're not familiar with world cinema, and you're letting your ideology contaminate your first impression, in other words, you're a biased dumbass.

Literally no one (worth a damn) considers Loach, Kechiche or Dardennes as the greatest directors. They are considered to be the most talented progressive ones, sure, but no one considers them teh best, aside from you.

The bets contemporary ones would be somethign like: Kiarostami, Zvyagintsev, Nakashima, Park, Ceylan, Vinterberg, Von Trier, PTA, Mallick, Cuarón, Farhadi etc. etc. (can't really be arsed to list 50 names).

So in short, you're an ideologically biased whining pleb, and that is why your opinion is irrelevant.

So I hope you agree that the holocaust was an act of extreme barbarity and shouldn't be forgotten.
And real Western values are the values of the French Revolution. They are well represented in modern world.

I'll try to be fair and mention films that still elicit a positive consensus and I still see get mentioned often in cinephile circles, ignoring the ones that don't

40's -- they skipped a few years
Rome, Open City (Rossellini)
Brief Encounter (Lean)
The Lost Weekend (Wilder)
The Third Man (Reed)

50's -- lots of classics from different countries, feels balanced, lots of influential directors
Miracle in Milan (De Sica)
Othello (Welles)
The Wages of Fear (Clouzot)
Gate of Hell (Kinugasa)
Marty (Mann)
The Cranes Are Flying (Kalatozov)
Black Orpheus (Camus)

60's - Italian cinema at its peak, Euro (and Jap) cinema in general very strong, no politics shoved down your throat
La dolce vita (Fellini)
Viridiana (Bunuel)
The Leopard (Visconti)
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (Demy)
The Birds, the Bees and the Italians (Germi)
Blowup (Antonioni)

70's -- Euro cinema going to shit, New Hollywood innovates
MASH (Altman)
The Conversation (Coppola)
Taxi Driver (Scorsese)
Apocalypse Now (Coppola)
The Tin Drum (Schlöndorff)

80's -- both Euro and New Hollywood are dead, poor decade artistically
Kagemusha (Kurosawa)
Paris, Texas (Wenders)
The Mission (Joffe)

90's -- offbeat indie Americans and auteurs from third world countries mostly for political reasons
Wild at Heart (Lynch)
Barton Fink (Coens)
Pulp Fiction (Tarantino)
Underground (Kusturica)
Taste of Cherry (Kiarostami)

2000's -- festival more political than ever, most winners are small societal dramas, two most memorable winners are anti-Nazi remembrance
The Pianist (Polanski)
The White Ribbon (Haneke)

2010's -- only non-political films are memorable
Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
Tree of Life

Consider the following: Real Western values are the values of the Haitian Revolution.

godard was once a maoist who championed the murderous ideology of mao zedong and the khmer rouge. we condemn griffith and riefenstahl of their political sins, but griffith serioiusly tried to prove he was not a hater after 'birth of a nation'. and riefenstahl insisted she loathed nazism but had simply done as told. maybe they were full of shit but at least they tried to publicly distance themselves from extreme politics.

not godard who espoused the most extreme, murderous, and destructive form of leftism. film scholars, so outraged about long dead griffith and long irrelevant riefenstahl, never demanded of godard to face up to his past sins. unlike kurosawa and bergman who candidly confessed their cowardice in face or approval of, respectively, japanese militarism and nazism, godard has never ever apologized in general, or in specific to the countless victims of the tyrants he supported with all his heart.

godard celebrated and championed mao's total destruction of culture and intellectual life and the khmer rouge that transformed camodia overnight into a genocidal stone age marxist state. fuck that piece of shit.

Most films you mentioned are very political. A lot of them are actually rather left-wing and criticize Western capitalism.

Wait a minute? Godard still direct? The last movie I saw from him was something about a ship, was boring as hell and looked like an overlong holiday video.

>>81605199
>And real Western values are the values of the French Revolution
Coup orchestrated by the Freemasonry and Bavarian Illuminati for the profit of Bankers and Usurers against the Catholic Nation, against the will and interests of the people (who died as useful idiots), replaced upholders of moral values like nobility and clergy with amoral Bourgeoisie and obscurantist networking elites manipulatively domineering and creating more harm than good for the common people, in the name of the progressist philosophy of human rights and Enlighteners while systematically betraying those philosophies and the people.

>>81605283

Won't read further, you are retarded, and most likely you haven't even seen those films.

>>81605593
>>81605393
Films can be political without shoving it down your throats, by making them underlying messages in entertaining stories with universal appeal or treating those themes in creative ways like the use of satire (ie Bunuel, Fellini) vs. being the entire focus and being preached already pre-digested for mongoloid audiences without anything resembling artistry, wit or subtlety (ie Loach, Haneke).

>>81605546
> no no no, all those millions of jews who vanished, uhm, t-they d-d-din't exist
