Bullshit. You were just playing on your phone while it ran in the background.

Oh come ON. It literally has a 5 minute long scene of cars on freeways for NO GODDAMN REASON except literally for Tarkovsky to justify the expense of filming scenes in Tokyo. He straight admits that shit.

>>63451749
At first I thought this was a really bizarre thing to accuse someone of, but I guess not upon seeing other responses. I'm not that well-versed in art films, so it's not really that outrageous that I'd find a Tarkovsky film to be slow. I still enjoyed it as I did with his other works that I've seen.
>>
>>63451575
Damnation feels slower

>>63451895
Not slow in the least. Do you literally not know what the word SLOW means?

>>63451887
I've taken to leaving my phone outside of my room to stop the urge. Not eating anything helps too.

>>63451952

depends on how you define slow mate

I find Phantom Menace a far, far slower movie than Satantango because Satantango is constantly visually arresting and filled with a lot of laughs. Phantom Menace on the other hand consists of obscenely drawn out scenes of extraordinarily boring/incomprehensible dialog.

Addiction comes in many forms. I can go hiking without glancing at my phone once, but when it comes to watching a very s l o w movie, I often feel like going online.
>>
>>63452268

if you can't get through a movie without looking at your phone then something is wrong with you
>>
>>63452118
Nah. You're just arguing which is the better film. Lazer swords and spaceship battles aren't slow no matter what mental gymnastics you use. Shitty movies but not slow.
>>
>>63452325
>then something is wrong with you
More like the medium is wrong, these people should stick to video-games, they don't want film, they just want cheap entertainment

>>63452325
I can do it, I just said it takes discipline.
>>
>>63452344
Not him, but I think slowness can also be defined as how well a film captures and keeps one's attention. Ozu's films may be called slow by some, but I can't look away from there.

>>63451731
That's incredibly far from the truth. Nostalghia has much more to it senpai

it's not that i didn't think so, i get its supposed to be an emotional experience and reflects the directors alienation from russia but i just couldn't fully get into it, i aint saying its bad by any means with how its slow, just couldn't fully BE the nostalgia man he wants me to be
>>
>>63452431
I don't think "slow" is opened to interpretation. If a critic is writing a review and they use that word then you know they mean something like Tarkovski not Star Wars. Even a capeshit fan instinctively knows what this means. You've just gotten it twisted in your head.

I was diagnosed with ADD before I even used a computer regularly. How do you think frequent, every day computer use affected that? There's nothing wrong with getting sidetracked while watching a movie when you're surrounded by distractions.

Nobuo Nakagawa's last movie, "The Living Koheiji", is about 80 minutes long but feels like two hours minimum. Nonexistent pacing but it's a great film, the slowness doesn't detract from it.

I haven't seen much from him. That closing 15 minute static shot in Stray Dogs is fucking amazing though. But yeah, he seems like a good choice for this category.

He's made at least 6 of those. And Goodbye Dragon Inn is the longest film with a short running time I've ever seen

Chantal Akerman also made some SLOWWW films. Jeanne Dielman 1080 rue de commerce Bruxelles has only a handful of exclusively static shots and plays out pretty much in real time for the 3'15" runtime
>>
>>63455387

Good choice

I'd also mention Van Sant's death trilogy, especially Gerry. Gerry has several shots in which very little occurs that last about 7-8 minutes.
>>
>>63455357
I wish, nothing fucking happened, I get that the cop had to follow the kid around but what the hell man, like a 10 minute shot of the dude smoking leaning on a post.

Unless there's like some occult message in the scenes or some shit.

I wish it was fucking bait.

Never found this slow. There's always something to look at while nothing's being said. This is a movie that definitely could have dragged on, but it's quite short so it didn't get a chance to

That's a great movie. I think it really depends on how you're feeling or your mindset though. I had no idea Tati made little physical comedy movies and thought it was going to be a bit more talky. Took me about 20 minutes to realise what I was in for.

I'm not saying the pacing was bad, but I do think it was slow.
