Let's see if anyone here has enough film knowledge to discuss Hiroshima, Mon Amour.
Eric Rohmer and Jean Luc Godard described the film as the first modernist sound film back in a 1959 Cahiers du Cinema. I can see where they're coming from especially with the way the film blends documentary and metaphorical narrative and comparing some of the filmmaking ideas in this to Resnais later masterwork Last Year at Marienbad is instructive in a whole host of conceptual film techniques.

There were plenty of modernist sound films before this one.
>>66999376
And this, /tv/, is your current level of film analysis.
>>66999377
Which would you consider modernist. Remember that it was released in 59 and Antonioni hadn't yet started with his modernist phase.
You essentially said nothing in your post, actually make a point and it will be discussed, like how pedantic it is to legitimately compare Hiroshima to a troubled youth
In my opinion, the copious amount of unwarranted complex metaphysical ideologies makes Hiroshima almost unwatchable.
The movie is one of an exploratory nature yet drags itself down to the level of being almost Freudian in nature when an underlying Orwellianesque approach would have made the underspoken tones and modernist ideas contained within all the more prominent and potent.

M follows standard plotting and exposition techniques of other movies of the time. I don't see anything particularly modernist about its themes, situations or techniques.
>>66999607
Just stop, anon. I know you think you're funny, but you aren't.

You should try actually watching it some time!
>>66999737
No, I am.
>>66999747
You need to consider what it means to be modernist though.
The film having a "plot" at all is cause to question wether it can be considered modernist because plot is a construction that does not exist in reality. It is there solely for classic film form reasons.
And tell me, what you think M does differently from other sound films of the time while also distinguishing it from the modernist silent productions.

You're confusing modernism with pomo, kid.
>>66999931
No, I'm not. Modernism is concerned with stripping the conventions that no longer adequately describe the modern state of living. Antonioni is modernist, Resnais is modernist. Their themes and narrative construction are designed to more adequately describe the experience of being in those situations depicted on screen and the situations are those with real connotations rather than the fantastical.
Postmodernism has a focus on absurdism and pressing the limits of what can be considered art. It isn't about relating to anyone and that is a decidedly different goal than Resnais and Antonioni.
How do you define modernism as compared to postmodernism? Don't fall into the trap of assuming that architecture is analogous to the movement in relation to film or literature.

Blood of a Poet
>>67000155
Maybe in film they've developed their own wonky definitions of these two terms, but what you said does not at all describe modernism/postmodernism as they apply to literature
Get a load of this pretentious fuck who doesn't actually want to discuss the movies. He wants to use the word 'modernism' and namedrop Cahiers du Cinema because it makes him feel special. When you're actually ready to discuss the film, we'll be here
So this thread is really about how we can turn a film discussion in a parody of itself...
Anon, HMA and Last year at Marienbad are absolutely *not* modernist films, I would find your assertion funny if I wasn't so triggered by how wrong you are
Not enough memes in here.
Step your game up /tv/
>>67000743
who in this thread has discussed the film? There was nothing to turn it into in the first place because it never was a discussion

So what do you have to say that can't be found on the back of the fucking dvd case

You seem to have some experience with this, anon
>>67000892
everything in the OP are buzzwords that wannabe film buffs use:

>metaphorical narrative
>conceptual techniques
>Cahiers du Cinema

What film school tier drivel.
>>67000962
>buzzwords
What a cretinous way out. I can say anything, give you a well-thought, long walltext and your anti-intellectual ass will accuse me of buzzwording.
>>67001032
This post>>67000892
claimed that OP deviated from buzzwords. I merely pointed out that it absolutely does not, and actually embodies the shitty lexicon of buzzwords that pretend film buffs use. It is entirely bereft of content
>>67001032
You are buzzwording no matter how "intellectual" you think the words may look or quantity of words you may think look impressive as compensation for quality. Your whole post is a text book masturbatory, self-indulgent critique from a self involved taste merchant. Honestly, I'm afraid to talk about film incase I meet people like you or people mistake me for being similar to people like you. You are everything I despise about the intellectual world. Pompous, superficial troglodytes. There's some buzzwording that work in this case. With complex' that fill the alphabet.

Is this modernist then?
>>66999350
Why do you read like an excerpt from a text book?
I quite enjoy Left Bank films. I saw HMA this past January and thought it was great. HMA, La Jette and LYaM are all excellent IMHO.
Have any of you seen Je t'aime, je t'aime? What'd you think?

I take back what I said. You aren't confusing the two, you're just making shit up.

Can you please type the real name of the movies ?
Hiroshima Mon Amour, La Jetée, and what's the third one?

Watched it in French class 5 years ago and hated every second of it. The only positive thing about this movie is the Japanese guy's wacky laughter and the fact that it's still a meme for me and my friends
