Why do Europeans make movies that are so fucking WEIRD?
>>
Everything is considered weird to low IQ Americans except teenage sluts, autotune, capeshit and trannies. Uncultured plebs
>>
Why can't I find this movie anywhere? On IMDb it says it should be released by now.

>>82521118
Did you end up watching this because of the thread the other day? How it's hardly playing anywhere anymore.

I think it's more a case of lack of resources fueling innovation, when you don't have much you try and get creative. If you've got a 250 million dollar budget film, you play it safe, tried and true good shit. When the budgets and therefore stakes are lower, it means people are more free to take risks and do weird stuff. This isn't endemic just to European films, many low budget American films are equally weird I'd imagine.

>>82521219
It doesn't exist. It's just some French woman shitposting about some mockups she made.
>>
>>82521260
Yup, that thread piqued my interest
>>
>>82521219
It's basically not playing anywhere anymore. It came out, played its limited release and now its gone. Gotta wait a few months for the bluray to come out.
>>
>>82521317
Okay thanks!
Didn't think it would have a normal release, thought it's direct to BluRay.
>>
>>82521455
Yeah its an indie, foreign language art house film, it only got released at a total of 50 cinemas across the entire US. You're basically shit out of luck if you aren't near a major city.

My city had one place showing it, it was cool, I never knew there was actually a literally underground cinema here, all it does is show indie films, definitely going there more now.

Comes out on amazon and itunes on may 23rd apparently. Torrents out soon after probably.

Eurocucks love trannies way more.
>>
>>82522736
Drama about a girl that goes to veterinary school school and discovers things about herself, she struggles to control her impulses.

It has 4 or 5 scenes of violence in the movie. Only 1 of which is actually hard to watch, 3 are as violent as getting a bloody lip.
>>
>>82522785
That's pakistani, not european
>>
>>82521118
It's very simple actually.
There's no real market for European movies since even the Europeans themselves stopped watching what is made in their own countries,with the exception maybe of the French.
So a European movie is almost exclusively targeted to the critis and aims to win some award in some Festival.
So you get only weird or absurdly boring shit.

Fun fact: in Amsterdam trannies get beat up by transvestites because the transvestites feel trannies are ruining gay culture.

Every year there's a film that gets shilled hard that always triggers me
Raw
It Follows
The Witch
Babadook

No idea about the others. In my head it's the movies' directors.

maybe, just maybe, they're being talked about because people enjoyed watching them and this is a board dedicated to discussing film. stranger things have happened.

Oh, come on having some intern shill in social is dirty
cheap.
If it increases the tickets or bluray sales even by a tiny fraction it already made the shilling costs back.

Probably because whenever she's photographed it's a special occasion, so she puts on her special occasion rings.

No wonder they get beat up. Tranny used to stand for transvestite, not a fucking dickless guy.

>>82524059
I don't know if it's correct, but the official stats that have been given say that /tv/ has a couple hundred thousand unique visitors every month. (200,000 five years ago, probably far, far more now)

The only thing I can say is that when I post a freshly uploaded video from my channel on /tv/ and I make sure people notice it, it will usually go to 5000-6000 views before the thread dies.

That's their point. For them, being a dude with a beard in a dress who's singing along to madonna is part of the whole camp appeal. They'd never claim to be a real woman.

Anon there's this term called narrowing. It means that the fewer variables in a person's life, the bigger the little things seem, it explains why old or lonely people can be such cunt neighbors over minor things or make a fuss about change at the super market or restaurant. A person with shit going on constantly in their life isn't bothered by the little things. I'm not judging you, but this really shouldn't upset you much.

That's kinda sad. Any Europeans want to contribute? Id like to know if small scale European film is still alive and well there. I kinda hope film making is still happening everywhere in every nation with domestic support

Believe it or not, there are people here who are lurking who are too autistic and socially anxious to post. The posters are sick alphas to them.
>>
>>82525248
Most theaters in the flyover states have closed. The ones that exist are only playing capeshit, Beauty and the Beast and whatever animated feature is currently on tap.
>>
>>82525255
I was almost going to ask if you were one of them. How on Earth could you possibly know that? And the idea of being too autistic to anonymously post on 4chan seems like too much, no autist is that powerful

I've dealt with autists as part of a high school internship thing (everybody had to intern in something with social value. I worked with autists), and a few of them were lurkers afraid to post on 4chan. One of them had a dream of one day playing video games online, but always pussied out whenever he tried because the idea of playing with others terrified him. I could only talk to these people by going into a chatroom and speaking to them using their own name, so they felt they were talking to themselves.

Autism is a hell of a drug.

I was probably doing a lot of the shilling for The Witch (posting threads with a questionnaire about the movie and people's tastes in thriller/horror in general), and I still stand by it. I think it's a great movie that makes me more excited about the future of the film industry than any other movie has for a while. To me it is a great synthesis between theater and film. It uses all of the great things film allows for: different angles, convincing action sequences, interesting lighting, etc. But it doesn't throw acting into the trash. It's a very human story played out in a believable way. I can't ask for much more from a movie.

>>82533034
LoL

The film is incredibly subtle, the whole "cannibalism lmao" thing is just a way of telling how a girl discovers herself and stays faithful to what she is, and what she wants in life. There is a lot of subtext in basically every scene of the film.

Don't focus on the gore scenes that much, the film is much more than that
>>
>>82533831

It's not exactly subtle but her urges are a good, creative metaphor for what a lot of people probably feel at that age. I enjoyed the movie a lot. I really want a torrent to come out but I'm also not looking forward to the shitposting

Slovenia has many festivals every year. Usually only Slav directors participate, but the last few years we had Spanish and French directors too. Out most notable festivals are about horror and drama. You can enter if your movie cost less than 100k I think.

Seems like the kind of thing that'd appeal to teenagers who grew up idolizing Tarantino and Fincher.

Last European film I watched that was worth my time was Goodbye to Language.
>>
>>82521118
Because European cinema decided to be pretentious from the start

Another reason could be that they don't have big studios, I don't know

You do get ''hollywood'' tier films but they always end up being shitty shit comedies or just shit in general
Whenever someone non american tries to do a ''normal'' movie it always comes out being shit and it doesn't work, so they can only make films with vague dialogue, ''metaphors and symbolism'' and long shots

I don't think you can go muh gore when there were so few actual gore scenes. I mean, if they were constant yeah, but c'mon, 3 hardly count as excessive.
