Maybe thatâs the problem. I hope youâre not serious.
not to hate or judge(secretly judging a little) people who say they cant read subtitles are missing out on so many amazing pieces of art.
Some of my favorite films are in different languages
Amour
Fat girl
Those are some of my favorites
just wanna say that this is the best recommendation I've seen in years. not only because of the list, but more so the format. most people rate films based on production and dramatic value, but you actually describe the story and how it resolves, which I think is the essence of any film and so often ignored.
I've been hesitant in recent years to watch artistic films, because so many of them are needlessly tragic or have poorly written endings. Knowing the overall arc and that the film is making a point about something is so meaningful. Thank you and I hope to see more of your videos!
As a Filipino, I am very happy that you mentioned Lino Brocka's masterpiece. Thank you so much.
I think it's nice to have a big CZcamsr who truly loves old movies ( as well as new) and to talk about them. Instead of your usual CZcams reviewer who only talks about them out of the formality of the film's acclaim.
Glad to see you giving credit to Polish cinema
Poland has a lot of bangers. Back in 2019, Netflix had a handful of really good Polish films from the 70s and 80s that I'd never heard of that had really good restorations.
The Spiral (1978)
The Lynx (1982)
The Weather Forecast (1983)
Medium (1985)
300 Miles to Heaven (1989)
Escape from the âLibertyâ Cinema (1990)
_The Spiral_ , _The Lynx_ , and _The Weather Forecast_ were by far my favorites. It surprises me they aren't ever talked about. And _Escape from the âLibertyâ Cinema_ is the prefect film to pair with Woody Allen's _The Purple Rose of Cairo_ , if you're ever in the mood for a weird double feature.
@@annefrankenberry7914 Not to forget Ć»uĆawski and Skolimowski's films like "The Devil" or "Hands Up!" which thankfully got their restorations.
I really loved Trois Coleurs: Rouge
You are continuing a grand tradition of real cinema culture and conversation that used to exist in the media sphere back in the '50s through the 1980s and has mostly died off. When I was young I tried to see all the great films of the world, even if they were too difficult for me at the time. I would wrestle with films, reject them, go back to them, and often have epiphanies about their greatness. Open-mindedness but also a curiosity and tolerance for all the arts, esp. literature, is also an important part of it. All things enhance understanding and cross referencing. These are great recommendations, even for someone like me who has seen a lot but not all of the ones here. All of these look amazing.
Glad you included Ritual. Definitely in my mind one of the most gorgeous looking films of at least the century, maybe ever. I remember seeing Love and Pop first and the transition between that and this was so intriguing to me. Showing two different but unique ways of filmmaking that are very visually striking. Ritual in particular has so many shots that feel so carefully planned and rich with color and texture. Really cemented in my mind that Anno really is a fantastic filmmaker that can pretty much do anything.
and the lead actor is an incredible director irl
@@ferouihamza Iâve only seen All About Lily Chou Chou from him. Was fantastic. Still need to find the time to watch more of his filmography.
Where can I view this without paying 200ÂŁ ?
Thank you! That past video was probably most favorite of yours, and in general I came to understand that even though I don't have similar taste to yours, the movies recommended by you always get me thinking, and that's more than I can say about most crap they put out. That's why I also really enjoy your letterboxd page, there's always something interesting there, even if I don't necessarily agree with the ratings
Basically- please don't stop making videos and thank you very much for what you've already put out
Honestly I give you like e subscribe because you show the unseen..
Thereâs a lot of impressive stories out there that unless we have someone talk about them many wouldnât think twice to see them, and thatâs one of the great services of your video. Youâre really honestly sharing unseen creations you find valuable and thatâs really helpful in a time when media and even peoples heads are over saturated with crap.
Yes. Another round of great movies to check out. The last one gave me Underground and Overlord, two films I absolutely love. I've seen a few more on this one, but I need to watch Ritual and Pretty Village Pretty Flame ASAP thank you Kino.
hey Kino Man i love your commentary, it feels personal and concise accompanied by your smooth narrator voice it feels like a casual conversation. Thank you for recommending Brazilian kino, much love đ§đ·
Great vid man, I'm a serb and its really great to see someone appreciate our great cinematography and the masterpiece that Pretty village pretty flame is, if you want some more awsome serbian movies i recommend:
- The fall of Rock and Roll
- White cat, black cat
-and the We're not angels trilogy (mainly the first two movies)
I enjoy your work keep it up!
a serbian film? nice nice nice
One of my serbian friends just lent me a bunch of movies to watch. I think one of them was white cat black cat.
@@TheKinoCorner It's the most famous film from serbian's most respected and successful director I think you'll love it
I have not thought about the movie May for over 15 years, i saw it when i was younger and you brought back a rush of memories. thank you for that.
Thank you for mentioning Pretty Flames, it was banned as it was deemed to be serbian propaganda since it was made during the actual war and extras were actual fighters which lead to many intense off-screen situations (the scene of burning village is an actual village being burned by fighters). There is good documentary about making of the movie. I always thought that these movies were hard to connect to for foreigners since balkan humor is very dry and often it carries certain truth in it. I would recommend "Hard to Be a God" by Aleksei German, it is movie that was made based on the book that goes by the same name from Brothers Strugatsky who are writters of "Roadside Picnic" (The book Tarkovsky's Stalker was based on). It is extremely gritty and muddy and violent but its themes about intellect and thoughts being pushed down by the rest of society are very provoking. I think you'll like it. If you have seen it already, maybe it is candidate for next "You have to see" video. These are really amazing videos, thank you very much for exposing us to great cinema.
Iâm so glad I found your channel! For a couple years now Iâve felt like my love for films have dwindle, but thanks to your videos itâs rekindled my interest and passion for cinema and storytelling. I believed that I had seen all the good movies worth seeing but Iâm really glad I was wrong. If you can please talk about be recommend more foreign films!
I'm glad you mention Black Orpheus. A friend of mine picked that one for our movie night a couple of years ago and it really made a lasting impression, it was hypnotic. I would love to visit Rio one day, and take part in the experience of the canerval.
Brown Bunny is a Masterpiece. His approach to sound will be called as groundbreaking as Altman's.
Thank you for inspiring me to FINALLY watch The Brown Bunny. I had been avoiding it because of that one scene. But I had tears in my eyes as the credits rolled. Cheers.
Camera Buff and Cold War are two of my absolute favorites. So happy to see them mentioned! Pauline at the Beach is another excellent pick!
The video is the reason i found found you. Unlike other creators you really show me new stuff. Often you either see very famous films from 30 years ago that many younger people like me havent watched and cant remember or its the same famous indie directors. I love eggera and trier but i watched them all. Your Channel is great
Great to see the love for Pusher II! I think the whole trilogy is pretty great, but my favorite Refn movie is probably Bleeder. Beautifully shot, with an amazing soundtrack and wonderful, touching performance by Mikkelsen - in a "literally me" role for any film nerd, no less. (Such a versatile actor, oh my god)
I guess it's way-way-WAY too hopeful of a movie for a "failed romance theme". It's got a depressing edge to it, sure, but if anyone's ever up for a brutal and down-to earth story, which kind of restores your faith in humanity by the end - I highly, highly recommend it.
Great video as always, by the way! Thank you so much for the reccomendations!
So true about Mikkelson, that man has range. He reminds me of Max von sydow that way. To me Max is the greatest actor (male) ever, largely because he had the benefit of working with Bergman. If Brando had Bergman, he'd have been beyond belief. Brando made a lot of so-so to even bad films.
Whoa, thanks a lot! I love to see lists of movies that are not obvious! From this list I know only the Brazilian movies, maybe because Iâm Brazilian. Iâll start looking for the others.
If you're opening to more film recommendations that don't get discussed enough on CZcams, I highly recommend The Long Good Friday, if you have yet to see it, probably the best British gangster flick ever made
Great list, Kino. Iâll watch the other half I havenât seen yet, based on your enthusiasm! I might add âTo Liveâ (Kurosawa), âOrdetâ (Dreyer), âThe Islandâ (Lungin), âDancer in the Darkâ (von Trier), and âStalkerâ (Tarkovsky).
Good work. Doesn't mean I am gonna watch them all etc., but the fact you do this research and review it, it's a good thing. I appreciate it.
Ashes & diamonds from 1958 of Andrzej Wajda ,Polish noir cinema masterpiece and obviously "Manuscript found in Saragossa" of Wojciech Has
This is such a great list! Was expecting to see a bunch of movies from IMDbâs top rated list lol but you choose some highly underrated movies and while I personally wouldnât call some of them masterpieces, you gave good reasons as to why you think so!
I recently came to know about may and i love it glad to see a movie i know being listed here
Nice calls on Pusher 2 and Cold War. Both outstanding. "Pauline At the Beach" is one of Rohmer's I haven't seen yet. I've watched 6-7. I'll check out some more of these on your list. Thanks
If you liked Pretty village pretty flame I would highly recommend Who's singing over there?
The themes are somewhat similar and there is a great deal of that classic Yugoslavenian humor
and the marathon family as well
Those movies has nothing to do with Yugoslavia, are purely serbian movies and rather critised the idea of Yugoslavia.
In both of them wars are waging and in Pretty Flames is directly described the consequence of idea of Yugoslavia, and in Who Is Singing Over There, not quite directly but the big question is weather Serbia would be attacked and bombed if there wasn't for YU idea - civil war at the first place.
So, it doesn't belong to YU cinematography (which was 99% comuno-facistic propaganda like Sutjeska and Walter Defends Sarajevo etc. ordered by tito and co.), so you could easily write European humor, you would be more correct.
Regards ; ,
ok. this is high quality film knowledgement. Kudos!
as a german, who learned the yugoslav language, its really nice to see 'lepa sela lepo gore' on the list.
maybe 'ko to tamo peva' would be worth your time.
for i feel that i have a plenty of lot more to see.
thank you.
Thank you for another great list! I love discovering obscure movies which I haven't yet seen. It's slightly strange that you didn't include any Romanian film, because if you like dark topics my country's cinema is as dark as it gets (with occasional great comedies). I recommend starting with "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days".
May you recommend some other
These are the sad love stories I recall, all of which Iâve seen at least 3 times, and 4 - a dozen times or more.
Elvira Madigan, Cinema Paradiso, The Hairdresserâs Husband, Babetteâs Feast, 37,2 Le Matin (Betty Blue in America) and the stunningly beautiful, but dark, romantic comedy; Bliss (Australian, 1985).
Thanks for the recommendations. Black Orpheus is another all time favorite.
What I like about ritual is that it uses a vastly different style of direction that Hideaki anno rarely uses. Long trackint shots with long takes, lingering shots, it almost feels like his attempt at doing a woody allen film or one of the before films.
Thank you for this list! May looks so interesting âŁïž
Every time I hear about the Brown Bunny It's only the Ebert drama or the BJ scene discussed. So thank you for diving into its narrative - it really sounds like something I'd like - A bit Kelly Reichardt-ish. Will check it out now.
The movie is mediocre at best,,the best part was the bj scene,lol
Thanks for this list. I was looking for some interesting, non-Hollywood razzle-dazzle, and this really helps. Incidentally, if anyone fancies an interesting older film, I recommend Herzog's "Stroszek". I rewatched it recently, and it really holds up.
Thanks for choosing Kieslowski's film. I am his big fan from Poland. I am glad that the films are well received outside of Poland. Bez konca is also the last movie which I saw in the cinema because of the pandemic. I love all his films and I especially recommend the TV movie Spokoj (Calm) but my number one is the documentary "I,m so so"....
Roman Polanski
i am a macedonian and i would recommend to you a great film director of ours called Milco Mancevski his movies are pure art. Start with before the rain and you'll see my point myb shout out in a future ep
before the rain was nominated for a oscar btw if it means something
Without Black Orpheus, A Charlie Brown Christmas would have been very different. Follow if you can: American jazz musician Vince Guaraldi sees the movie, and is so moved that he records an album called "Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus." The record is short, so he adds his composition, "Cast Your Fate to the Wind." Lee Mendelson, the producer of a Peanuts documentary, hears that tune on the radio, and hires Guaraldi to score the doc. The documentary is never aired, but Guaraldi releases an album of music from the documentary, which is successful enough that Mendelson rehires him for the Christmas special.
Some incredible recs. I have plenty to watch this weekend. Cheers.
Unrelated to film but Requiem for My Friend by composer Zbigniew Preisner is a beautiful koncert that he wrote for his best friend Kieslowski.
Seen five. _Manila in the Claws of Light_ has been on my watchlist for years. _Pretty Village Pretty Flame_ looks really good, I'll check it out.
I didnât even know that African cinema existed beyond low budget meme movies. Glad thereâs ways for more people to see them! Very interested in Ritual! Hopefully I can find it.
The ritual was on Netflix for a while, idk if it still is though. Definitely worth a watch!
@@TsuFox1 That is the 2017 version you're talking about
I recommend 'Hollow city', from Angola.it's one of the most wholesome movies I've seen
Been needing to add to 'the list.' This will do, great vid brother!
Oh my God! I'm glad you included a Filipino film. As a Filipino, great films always get overlooked here as they normally get overshadowed by the lame and trashy films we have so the reputation for Filipino films is always below par but I can say that we do have great cinema here from the 70s up to the 90s and even early 2000s, and Manila in the Claws of Light is definitely one, if not the greatest, Filipino films of all time. Thanks @TheKinoCorner
Hey Kino, I had never heard of The Man Who Stole the Sun before your last video but I checked it out due to good premise and your recommendation, and I really enjoyed it! Thanks a billion for letting me know about it
EDIT: Okay now I wanna watch everything you recced in this video as well as the other one. They all look so interesting
Great to see you give a shout out to Pusher II. I think a lot of people are missing out on Nicolas Winding Refn's Danish films. I would recommend a film he made in between the Pusher Trilogy called Bleeder. It has three leads from Pusher films in it , with Kim Bodnia, Zlakto Buric and Mads Mikkelsen. It's a love note to cinema too, with Buric and Mikkelsen character's working in a video store. Mikkelsen is especially great in this one, playing a shy warm hearted film crazy video clerk who falls in love with a young woman working in a local cafe (played by Refn's real life wife Liv Corfixen). It's a nice change of pace for the great Mikkelsen in his run of films with Refn.
The film is pretty bleak though especially dealing with Bodnia's character, and Mikkelsen storyline is pretty much bright spot in a otherwise bleak film. It's got the grim feel of the Pusher trilogy but also shows Refn could make a romantic comedy if he wished lol.
For me Refn's film ranking for me
1. Pusher II
2. Drive
3. Bronson
4. Bleeder
5. Pusher 1
6. Pusher III
7. Valhalla Rising
8. Only God Forgives
9. The Neon Demon
10. Fear X
May is such a good movie. She reminds me so much of a close friend I had in school. She's doing well now with a family of her own, but she'll always be a weirdo, in the best way possible :)
You are awesome! I just found your videos and they are terrific!
I watched May as per your recommendation and I loved it! Please do a video about 'literally me' movies for women! In a world where the modern interpretation of feminine storytelling is dominated by girlbosses and strong independent women, I've honestly felt isolated since those kinds of stories don't really empathize with the kind of person I am. May is the first movie I've found that feels like it really wants you to sympathize with a sad, pathetic female character and fills my cravings for those kinds of stories.
Gone girl
Also: Amélie
I picked up a DVD of Brown Bunny, about ten or so years ago, at a flea market. I was aware of the infamous scene, but purchased it because Buffalo 66 is a movie I very much love and cherish. I can't disagree with anything you say about it in this video. I did find it heartbreaking and effective, and the infamous scene has a lot more depth and importance than one might think if they hadn't seen it, or had not invested in the story. With all that being said, I was also left with a feeling that I will never want to sit through that film ever again. A second viewing in my opinion would be akin to watching paint dry. Usually a movie I enjoy but never wish to see again is something like Cronenberg or Von Trier. The sort of directors who deal in dispensing brilliantly artistic unpleasantness. Vincent Gallo has the rare distinction of having created a film that is both moving and boring.
I'm sure you've seen it, but I wanted to hear your thoughts on Lars von Trier's Breaking the Waves. So happy to see someone recognize May. I've been waiting for a proper release by Arrow or Criterion
funny you say that because I just commented that someone should see that movie after reading their thoughts on May. Both movies I felt like helping the girl... or shaking them!
I love your taste in film! Great stuff! Subscribed!
I sincerely appreciate the choice to be out of focus in favor of having the posters behind you on focus. It's an interesting choice. Great contents as well!
Thanks for the video. What a contrast to the offerings from the mainstream. I prefer to watch something artistic and don't mind dark subjects so I'll be checking these out .
The cinematography in Ritual looks like it was influenced by Michelangelo Antonioni's Red Desert ...beautiful
dear KINO, i recommend "The Fifth Seal" to you - feel like it's your kind of movie
Vidas Secas (1963) is a great movie from the Cinema Novo period, and it's available in full on CZcams.
Wow man thank you so much for mentioning and appreciating Serbian cinematography..there are a lot of gems, but I would really like to hear you opinion about the movie Sabirni Centar or The meeting point. I really think you would like it..also not to forget two of the maybe best Serbian films of all time Ko to tamo peva (Who's Singin' Over There?) and Maratonci trÄe poÄasni krug (The marathon family) .. enjoy đ
Hey, I've actually seen a couple of these! I feel so hip and cultured now...
Your recommendation is great. I love it.
Thank you for presenting these films, most of which I'd not heard of. Wish I could view them easily, but that seems unlikely, given a basic search for several of them. Have you seen Brian and Charles?
Wow! What a great video!! Great movie. Thanks so much!
I guess Iâm watching The Brown Bunny tomorrow for Valentineâs Day. I cannot wait! Also, brilliant video, bb! Happy Valentineâs Day to you! Iâll be your valentine if you want. Much love. đ
Update: I just watched The Brown Bunny, and I loved it. The ending broke my heart. Thank you for the recommendation, Kino. đ
@@xbbocrybb this is interesting because it was aid to be really bad. Other critics echoed Roger Ebert. I didn't know he stood up and started singing during the movie. That wasn't reported at the time. At the time the media hated the filmmaker and sided with Ebert. What a total dick move to stand up and sing. Gallo's reaction makes more sense now. I had previously thought he cursed Ebert just for a bad review. Lying fake news we have.
I really appreciate you talking about movies from my country which is Poland.
Ashes of Time from Wong Kar Wai. The only character who is with the one they love is Jacky Cheung's traveling swordsman. And we find out they won't be together for very long. Everyone else is either alone, or with someone they don't really want to be with. Maggie Cheung's scene is particularly melancholic. I'm sure you've seen it. But I thought I'd throw a reminder in there.
As a Brazillian, I'm so glad you put Black Orpheus on your list. I wonder if you've watched another brazillian movie The Second Mother (Que Horas Ela Volta) and Bacurau.
Thank you I'll look for the ones I haven't seen đ
I finally watched "The Brown Bunny" expecting Ebert to be correct, and I was stunned to see a sensitive and beautiful film.
I've asked in the previous video of your recommendations whether you have any animated films you like and if you'd consider doing a similar review of your favorites. After hearing you say you'd be interested in doing an Evangelion video I just want to fan the flames. I'd absolutely be down for it if you ever get to that!
a film that would fit perfectly in this list is 'fallen angels' by wong kar-wai (every movie by wong kar-wai would fit in this list)
amazing video by the way :)
I've been dying for a dedicated video on this topic for us film-nuts.
Nice to see a film from Serbia on this list, as a Serb myself I would recommend âPromising young manâ, âStrangler vs stranglerâ and âSweet movieâ
Great - but do you have any recommendations on where to find these movies? Do you use a service like Mubi?
absolutle banger after banger holy shit. I hadnt heard of Muna Moto and Pretty Village Pretty Flame. Will watch those two soon
Hey, I love your channel. Did you ever see Gummo? That movie really stuck with me.
A gripping Serbian film is "Cabaret Balkan," 1998, directed by Goran Paskaljevic.
I'd like to recommend some movies from my Home country of Colombia.
There's a movement called Caliwood comprised mainly of Luis Ospina and Carlos Mayolo, their best work in my opinion is a short called agarrando pueblo, which you can watch on CZcams and criticizes the Poverty Porn by Europeans in Latin America from the era.
There's also the movies by Carlos Gaviria which fall into the neo realist movement and were fairly popular in Cannes.
Rodrigo D, La Vendedora de rosas and Sumas y restas are his most famous.
Extremely good list!!!!
I saw Underground because of the last video. Really enjoyed it
Always love your videos!!
_Cold War_ is an absolute masterpiece... as is Pawlikowski's previous film, _Ida._
And every Kalatozov film is a masterpiece - including _I Am Cuba._
These films definitely don't get enough praise on YT. Glad you shined a light on them...
PS I wouldn't say _The Brown Bunny_ is a masterpiece, but it's certainly not as bad as the critics made it out to be. _Buffalo '66_ is a classic, tho.
Am a yuge Buffalo '66 fan, but have yet to watch The Brown Bunny. I suppose I should rent it.
Buffalo 66' is good but the brown bunny is just gross
Thanks a lot! Pusher 1 and 3 are also masterpieces
Underground is actually now one of my Favorit films. Then i realised that this style was familiar to me. I talked with my mother about it an realised i watched his films as a kid (my family is from the balkan)
Rohmer's films are easy to watch because he's the hardest-core Bazinian of the Cahiers crew, i.e. simple clean images, and all his actors are hot.
May is one of my favorite movies ever! đ I was 18 when it came out, and I was a weird, socially awkward, morbid kid. I know you already pre-empted any 'literally me' memes, but to be honest the movie has become harder for me to watch over the years as my empathy for my younger self has grown. It's not the gore (which is pretty tame considering) but those moments where she feels so lost and confused and alone in this social world that everyone else seems to intuitively understand that get to me.
There is a scene in 'Saint Maud' that gives me a similar feeling, when she goes to the bar alone and tries to insert herself into the lives of strangers. That honestly had me sobbing more than any of the more shocking parts.
EDIT: If anyone wants another 'literally me, I'm a mentally ill teenage girl who likes taxidermy and shit' movie, I highly recommend the film 'Incision'. I don't know why more people don't talk about it! '
You should watch Breaking the Waves.
I've loved the Brown Bunny from the first time seeing it. It's a marvelous slow cinema experience. How about some Lav Diaz?
watched black Orpheus, it was great!
thank you kino corner!
Pharlap (1983) a favourite Horse movie from New Zealand, Australia, is a childhood favourite. And The Man from Snowy River.
Just rewatched the Pusher trilogy, terrific series
thank you so much for crediting vincent gallos work, he deserves the attention.
Another awesome video!

As someone who is in awe of Copenhagen Cowboy, i set out to discover NWRâs filmography! I am on the original Pusher at the moment so seeing Pusher 2 here makes me all the more excited to continue on the directorâs filmography
Neon Demon was really hated by critics and audiences didn't embrace it (when it was playing in theatres) either but I think it's his best film. All the critics kept saying it wasn't about anything and had no meaning... which is a ridiculous statement. All of them are good I think, except I haven't seen the Pusher movies.
I haven't seen Copenhagen Cowboy either because we got rid of netflix. Lynch was supposed to do a netflix series too but he walked away from it. They probably wanted him to inject ESG politics into it like most of their other stuff. We'll get it for a month some day and watch the Wednesday series too... then get rid of it.
The pusher trilogy is one of my favorites. Great to see Mads early work as well
So fucking happy you mentioned PUSHER 2, the best of the trilogy. Beautiful movie and the soundtrack and the ending are fantastic. In my top 3 movies of all time
Glad to see you giving credit to Danish cinema
My favorite comment on Danish cinema was that it was like 'having a bulldozer cover over an open grave'.đ
Serbian and ex-Yu cinematography is full of hidden gems - you should definetly check it out more. My personal favourites - "When father was away on business" and "Balkan spy"
