He just died of cancer. rip

>>71634155
well shit. I haven't seen anything by him. what would you recommend?
jesus christ everyone is dying this year
>>71634257
And yet there's still a shitload of "legends" still alive. like Carl Reiner.
I've only seen Like Someone in Love (very dreamy & comfy), but I've had The Wind Will Carry Us & Close-Up on my watch-list (and HDD) forever.
sticky when?
>>71634225
Where is the Friend's Home
noooooooo ;_; he was one of my favorite directors
Fuck. He's one of my favorites.

Shit. I just this second put Certified Copy in my player. I've only seen Like Someone in Love.
>>71634155

>>71634521
Why would you watch his two most recent without seeing his earlier films

Abbas Kiarostami
>>71634590
been meaning to check out his stuff for a long time. wish i got the chance to fully appreciate what he put out. still very sad to hear knowing how many people really liked his work
anyone who hasn't seen his films outside of certified copy / like someone in love / close-up / taste of cherry fuck off and stop pretending like you're affected. fucking Criterion babies
>>71634155
Who ?
Based Kiarostami
Cimino made some fine films, but had a clumsy career. Kiarostami is a true giant.
Now watch out for that sticky that is never coming
>>71634701
>de of certified copy / like someone in love / close-up / taste of cherry fuck off and stop pretending like you're affected. fucking Criterion babies
as if you can't like a director when you've seen 4 of his films?
Christ, fuck off with your elitism /lbg/ cancer of the fucking board straight after /co/ and /v/
I've been putting off watching some of his more popular works, because I'm a racist and I'm not sure I would enjoy them as much because of the fact.
>>71634753
fuck off back to Twitter and go post a selfie with your Certified Copy Criterion blu ray
It really hurts that he was only diagnosed in March and had no time to make any kind of final film
>>71634867
This is why regular doctor visits are important, anon.
The Wind Will Carry us is by far his best film and one of the greatest of all time.
He will be missed.

>he needs a sticky
i wish people would stop misunderstanding this concept
stickies serve only single purpose: to contain posts into one thread and prevent the board being spammed with 10 different threads all discussing the same thing. kiarostami simply isnt pleb friendly enough to warrant giving him a sticky
giving a person a sticky has aboslutely nothing to do with how great you think he was
>>71634885
He was 76. Every other person in their late 70's has some sort of terminal illness. You don't operate someone who is ~80 and has cancer.
>>71634955
It does seem to have something to do with their ghost haunting the board, though.
So who is next?
>>71635002
could still get radiation therapy though.
>>71635120
Kirk Douglas.
>>71634955
Bullshit. A sticky out of respect for great people in cinema wouldn't hurt nothing. But this is the plebs shitpoosting board, including- very much- janitards and mods, so le stickies are only for traffic, guys xd
>>71635120
>>71634333
Yeah, I watched Someone in Love recently on Netflix too.
Decent film.
>>71635187
Shut the fuck up I want to see s3 of TP
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS
>>71635012
true
>>71635172
if anything, giving him a sticky would just flood this thread with more tards who've never heard of him before
>>71635128
He did, he spent his last months getting treatment in France
>>71635120
Francis Coppola is old, fat, and Italian, his days have been numbered for a long time
2016 is out for blood, the baby boomers are fucked.
wew, are you fucking kidding me?
Close-Up and A Taste of Cherry are his best works
>>71635273
exposing plebs to good movies isn't a bad thing.
Jesus he was above 70 and had cancer? Thought he still had a bunch in him
Do I rewatch Close-Up tonight or do I watch Through The Olive Trees?
>>71635187
Not Naomi Watts please! I wanna see her play a semen demon once more.
>>71635304
Thank God for that.
Boomer Generation should've been wiped out at least 15-20 years ago
Oh my god it's real. I hope be died peacefully ;___;
>Rivette and Kiarostami in the same year
Bad year.
Hopefully this will make criterion finally release the fucking Koker trilogy
God Damn it this sucks. I was looking forward to seeing another film by him.
>>71635360
most pleb thing I've read all day
>>71635367
maybe. i doubt any of our beloved meme-stickying mods even know him so that eliminates that possiblity entirely anyway
>>71635391
Through The Olive Trees
holy fucking shit
>>71634701
Sorry special snowflake
>>71635422
>peacefully
Went to the hospital 4 months ago due to intestinal cancer/pain. Not a chance. At least 4 long slow months.
>>71635459
why is she crying?
>>71635167
He looks like an ayyy lmao now
>>71635479
this makes me so sad. especially because his latest films have been absolutey wonderful and i was hoping to get at least one more out of him
Fuck...
I only watched "Where is the friend's home" and "A taste of cherry" from him. Looked forward to other works, I really liked them.
What should I watch today? What is his best?
>>71635538
I'd suggest doing the rest of the Koker trilogy next (Friend's Home, ...And Life Goes On, Through The Olive Trees)
>>71635501
women have a more emotional response body compared to males. They also can feel pain more than men.
The oscars in memoriam segment is gonna be 30 min long

Makes me sad the unattractive one from Blue is the Warmest Color is the one who made it internationally, thanks to Bond.
Pls sticky pleb mods.

The faster they're gone the better. Don't want to pay for all of them
>>71635636

>>71635630
Or maybe she got that role because of Blue is the Warmest Color...
>>71635459
is that one of the qts from Blue is the Warmest Color
>>71635630
Hey fuck you
>>71635538
watch close-up next and then finish the koker trilogy
i can only speak from personal experience but i think his post-iranian films will have a greater effect on you if you watch them chronologically, at the end
>>71635574
But why was she crying? What were they talking about? Anybody knows the source?
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Well, the anti-sticky posters were probably right. Look at this thread alone in the last minutes, all the desperate shitposters. And that is before /pol/ retards appearing. it would be a shitfest. This board doesn't deserve a sticky for people like Kiarostami

>>71634475
Fuck off with your shitty meme director. He will never join the likes of Spielberg and Joss Whedon.
>>71634225
Start with Certified Copy, it's his most accessible and stars qt Juliet Binoche. If you like that, I'd recommend going on to Close Up and A Taste of Cherry (the latter film won the Palme d'Or). If you enjoy both of those, then watch the Koker trilogy in order. And, if you like all of those, then try his other films since by then you'll be able to tolerate his patient style.
He was one of my favorite filmmakers. All of his films feel like a meditation. They become hypnotic.
If you're interested in other Iranian filmmakers after you check out Kiarostami, I'd recommend Jafar Panahi and the father-daughter Makhmalbafs
>>71635251
Well he said cinema started with Griffith and ended with Kiarostami.
I guess now it really ended forever
Still no sticky

What are some filmmakers that are like Kiarostami? I'll put forth Jia Zhangke, in terms of subtlety and scope.
>>71637192
Ozu and Kore-eda.
>>71637192
Jafar Panahi was one of Kiarostami's proteges and his films are definitely similar
he's made a couple of movies I would consider masterpieces
fuck this world, he should have lived to make 10 or more films
certified copy and close-up are both in my top films of all time

I wish criterion would just stay away from all good directors so we don't end up with dumbasses like you latching onto legitimately great directors
>>71634257
You're getting old.
What an unusual final moment his career had at the end of LSiL. A big noise and then nothing. A very memorable ending though.
>>71637569
yeah he still had a couple masterpieces in him, i'm sure
>>71637531
Yeah, Directors should be forced to be poor and never let people watch their movies so hipsters can be the only ones who are cool enough to have heard of them.
>>71637602
>he thinks directors get any profit from criterion sales
lol you've been tricked
Ah, /lbg/! How pathetic
what the fuck is this criterion talking?
goddamn fuck crierion, artifical eye i dont care
we talking about films not fucking distributors for fuck sake god i hate this fucking board
>>71637531
you sound like a complete fucking retard and probably an absolutely intolerable person

>>71637719
Close Up is probably my favourite Kiarostami but I have seen every "fiction" movie that he made
get fucked you sad, little virgin
you're the absolute worst kind of person
do you also say things like "I love the band's early work the most"
legitimately laughably embarrassing mate
Why are his films so hard to acquire legally?
Keep enjoying to shitpost in this thread, peabrain. I'm sure it's a great life

Straub, Weerasethakul, Mekas, and Tsai are all not in the Criterion Collection...
>>71637531
and should only be available thru private trackers
>>71634155
I've only seen Close-Up unfortunately. I thought it was really great and I have some of his other films in my Netflix queue. I'm going to start getting busy on Godard's filmography because he can't live much longer.
>>71637624
Directors don't make money from any sales, the studio does and then uses that money to fund more films. So in the long run yes, part of that Criterion sale goes back into other films
Say it ain't so senpai
>>71638125
the rights holders of his old films (which includes weinstein) weren't the ones funding his new films you dipshit
>>71635120
It's gonna be Godard.
The opening to Like Someone in Love is my favourite in the last five years. A real shame, but he left a legacy.
>>71638152
But they in turn fund other films. Maybe it's not going to Kiarostami's pocket but it's how the industry works. That's why it's generally called supporting the industry and not supporting the artist
not fair

god fucking dammit his films were getting better and better imo
>>71638915
>Straub-Huillet are good
This is what I call meme
>>71637706
Now that Kiarostami is gone...
1) Bong Joon-Ho
2) Al Weerasethakul
3) Paul Thomas Anderson
4) The Dardenne Bros.
5) Claire Denis
6) Wong Kar-Wair
7) Alfonso Cauron
8) Takashi Miike
9) Wes Anderson
10 Spike Jonze/Charlie Kaufman collabs or solo projects
I probably would have considered Kiarostami #1 or #2 before today.
I will continue to watch all of those filmmakers, no matter what projects they choose. I trust them to do something interesting with any material they set their minds to.
Godard hasn't made a good movie in more than 3 decades.

You're hopeless. Give up on trying to watch cinema.
>>71639329
His last truly great film was 13 Assassins. For Love's Sake is a good bit of fun but far from a masterpiece and not for everybody.
>>71639376
Weerasethakul often goes by "Al" because his name is long and hard to say. The Wong Kar-Wai thing was a typo
I think Godard, like Woody Allen, peaked early and has kind of dragged on with the same topics for his career. Except I'd rather watch Allen's newer movies than Godard's. Hell, I'd rather watch Match Point than Le Mepris.
It's just my opinion, m8s. Breathless is one of my favorite movies of all-time, but at the same time I would hate, fucking hate, to ever watch Alphaville again. If you hate me for that, then blow me.
>>71639564
>Weerasethakul often goes by "Al" because his name is long and hard to say.
