Bro, Speed Racer is not a Formalist film. It has way too much narrative to qualify.

Parajanov or Jancso films are Formalism, not the Wachowski Hollywood trash in OP pic. There's nothing that sets off my autism more than when people misuse academic terms and reveal themselves to be out of their depth.

Pleb.

>>85144835
>formalist movies
AKA postmodern Marxist bullshit. Fuck OP

>>85151232
Sorry about that, I just watched a video by a YouTube nu-male.
So Parajanov and Jancso, what else would you recommend?
Would Possession by Zulawski count? Or The Mirror by Tarkovsky?

Koyaanisqatsi?

>>85151460
I'd say Mirror by Tarkovsky is certainly more along those lines. Possession is even a little too, uh, I guess conventional, to be considered a Formalist work.

Depending on how avant-garde you're willing to get, stuff like this is Formalism.

Isn't that movie just a blurry slideshow

>>85151272
huh? official soviet film style was social realism. I WISH they did more formalist stuff after the 20s.

>>85151557
My understanding was (again this was from a YouTube video) that formalism in film is the opposite of realism in film, so movies that don't try to mimic real life or are based in how reality works.

I'm not looking for completely incoherent (for me) formalist films like this, just movies closer on the spectrum to formalism. And movies that focus on creating a mood and appealing to emotion, I want to better understand visual language in film.

>>85152070
that doesnt sound like a good definiation of formalism at all. my understanding is it reproaches structure which is taken largely from literature narrative and approaches film from a visual art perspective. am i retarded.

>>85152309
No I'm basing everything I know off a YouTube pleb.

Are formalist movies kino or film?

>>85153237
Kino

>>85147796

It's a masterpiece.

>>85144835
Beyond the Black Rainbow, maybe?

Antichrist
Melancholia
Much of David Lynch's work

The Raid was a gritty martial arts/action movie. The sequel was batshit fucking crazy. In a good way.

>>85156138
what does that have to do with anything

>formalism
Did you mean over-stylized?

>>85144835
Malick I guess. Also Piavoli definitely

Some of the finest kino in existence is formalist.

>>85144835
Ultraviolet
Aeon Flux

>>85152070
You seem sincere OP so I will give you some advice: stop saying formalism and post more of what you like and are looking for. There's a lot of good recommendations already.

>>85157873
I was just trying to get as many recommendations as possible and I was trying to be accurate.
I'm looking for movies that focus on evoking moods and emotions through sounds and aesthetics rather than movies based around writing and acting, I don't have an example of that.
And movies that aren't grounded too much in reality. I guess I'm asking for two different things here and should've made two different threads.

>>85147947
Yeah

Not the entire movie, but it's there.

>>85158152
The vocabulary of certain kinds of (thankfully mostly dead) film critics who want to turn their thoughts on movies into something esoteric by inventing academic jargon to describe things that really don't require academic jargon are not helpful if you want to be understood by most people.

>>85158271
you're right. I'm terrible at being accessible.

>>85147796
I fucking loved it. You can't go into it expecting it to be realistic or for everything to make sense. If you're just completely open to whatever happens and just sit back and enjoy the ride, it's such a fun movie.

Peter Greenaway

>>85151908
He's conflated postmodern art (mostly pretty good desu) with the silly shit that ensues when it's applied to politics, social science etc.

>>85151272
Postmodernism is antithetical to metanarratives such as Marxism.

Amelie maybe?

Best answer I can think of right here. Good thread.

Also, I think Star Trek: The Motion Picture could fit here too.

>>85144835
Snow White

>>85159287
which Snow White

>>85159287

>>85159286
>Star Trek: The Motion Picture
should I finish TOS first?

>>85158980
Except a lot of Marxists have co-opted postmodernism and basically equated everything socially constructed with oppression.

Something about this movie always looked really odd to me. Like Spy Kids 3d, all the visuals just seemed off.

>>85163619
the CGI is terrible, yes.

Film is a realist medium. Formalism is a pseudo-intellectual shorthand for teenagers that would rather be told what to think and feel while looking at le wacky images.
