>art house isn't dying, it's dead Is Lynch right?

Who gives a fuck about art house? Are there any good art house movies?

>>83188774
Yes it is, for a lomg time now. He's referring to the arthouse movies from when he was young by the way. That's his point of reference.

All the modern "arthouse" films are just normie flicks with slightly more artistic merit than a regular blockbuster

Enter the Void? Lost River? The Witch?

How does one even define art house in a strict sense?

>>83191353

Low budget art film still exists as much as it ever did, it's just that they're not as widely praised anymore.

Last year's Sunset Song by Terence Davies was bretty good.

>>83189107
Belladonna of Sadness

>>83191443
Was Enter the Void any good? I watched for this girl I was seeing, ended up detesting her and therefore, detesting it.

>>83191564

Yeah, probably a bit too long.

I'm going to catch flak for this, but it helps if you're tripping on something, a lot of the visuals were made to benefit from psychedelics.

>>83191504
Shit, you really got me there. I fucking love Belladonna of Sadness, didn't know it'd be considered arthouse.

The Turin Horse was the last real arthouse film, prove me wrong.

Ok, that makes perfect sense, thanks.

I think this is only a fragment of the full picture. There is no space much left for art films nowadays. We are drowning in big budget releases, not just the studios but Netflix and co as well.
Showtime should be praised for giving Lynch so much freedom and space in 2017. This is clearly a risk by Hollywood standards. The last time Hollywood financed a Lynch movie the wall was still up in Berlin.

>>83191504
I fucking love that movie and it's soundtrack

Mulholland Drive was Universal

>>83192918
Nah, it was funded/produced by StudioCanal. Universal just picked up the US distribution rights after the movie was done

>>83193420

I stand corrected

>>83193441
yeah the french basically have been producing Lynch for more than 2 decades now.
Even this S3 if you look at the end credits you'll see the french quite involved still with CNC (Centre Nationale de la Cinématographie) funding and tax re-baits.

>>83191413

This. They're even made by the same companies.

>Enter the Void?

>Lost River?
