Is there a cleaner, purer form of kino than Paris, Texas? No, I don't think there is.
Memes aside, Paris Texas is great barebones storytelling.
Overrated shit in my opinion.

That protagonist reminds me of myself.
How come all the normies flock to Herzog when Wenders is the better filmmaker?
>>70534073
Probably because Wenders has about 2 worthwhile movies
>its about a romance
D R O P P E D
>>70534073
They are equal in my eyes.
>Herzog
>normies
Nah, casual movie goers can't stand his kind of stuff. Wings of Desire is much more famous among the average audience than any Herzog film
>>70534140
Wrong.
>>70534140
You just revealed that you don't know shit about the new german cinema.

I'm seeing this on the 18th in Amsterdam. I've seen it before on DVD, but they're having it projected at EYE (Amsterdam film museum) as part of a Robby Muller exhibition and Muller's assistant on the film is dropping by afterwards to tell some stories about the production.

not him but i've seen alice in the cities, kings of the road, paris, texas and wings of desire and they were all pretty great, especially kings of the road and paris, texas. how many have you seen and which 2 are the worthwhile ones?
>>70534368
his docs are also very good, although I don't think he's Herzog-level there. Love his BVSC and Ozu docs, gf loves Pina
>>70534368
He is probably refering to P,T and Wings of Desire.
I'm glad you like Wenders. Watch "The State of Things".
>>70534073
Wenders' later career revealed him to be a hack who made a couple of good movies accidentally.

thanks, been meaning to explore him more for a while, might just do that now
deep

One of my favorites. About due for a rewatch. That scene where hefinally talks to heris perfect in every way.
>>70532123
This is the whole film

ending btw
the rest is slow and boring
the first 10 ish minutes are good
you could cut it down to about 1/2 hour and not miss anything
>>70532123
>it's an "I just saw my 100th movie" OP
>>70534073
how come nobody remembers Fassbinder though
he was the most important neue deutsche welle kinographistè
>>70534365
underrated post
Sounds interesting.
>>70541216
Inconsistent filmography.
>>70532123
>played No More Heroes
>learned that this movie inspired part of the game
>go to watch
>was not disappointed
Pretty good stuff senpai. Used it for part of my communications class project when he goes in to the club because I loved the lighting.

>>70541365
Literally every director mentioned itt is as inconsistent but less interesting
>>70541551
how are you going to call herzog less interesting?
>>70541580
I just did
Fassbinder is way wierder in a good way
>>70534073
Well Herzog is just such an entertaining personality in himself, and his documentaries have gotten him some mainstream appeal.
I prefer his narrative films to Wenders, though. Wenders is very good but he can't match Herzog's ambition. With Herzog, every element of production, performance and narrative is reaching for madness
>>70541621
What did fassbinder do that'smore interesting than ballad of the little solider or La Soufrière?
