Favorite Director/Producer
« on: March 13, 2008, 02:09:15 AM »
The role of Director/Producer for genius film makers is normally entwined. I'll make a short list, those I know all movies will be great and will most likely never disappoint me:

Akira Korosawa (genius)
Quentin Tarantino (art show)
David Lynch (most wicked and sincere surrealist)
Francis Ford Coppola (genius)
Sean Penn (brilliant perspective)
Emir Kusturica (best allegories)
Tim Burton (for his "cathedrals")

more might come
make your list...

I'll take those 4...I haven't seen anything of Lynch's...I've only seen Mystic River of Penn's and I don't judge based on one film (unless that film happens to be The Godfather), and I dunno who Kusturica is.

I'll raise you Jason Reitman (young comedic talent-Thank You for Smoking, Juno) and the Coen Brothers (No Country for Old Men, Fargo).

yeah I know the coens work, but I'm not really sure if it's not just entertainment, about photography and artistic talent, I have seen very little of them. I haven't yet seen this last movie.

Jason Reitman, I think I've seen Thank You For Smoking, and seems he's included in the Office, I don't fancy the Office. I gotta see Juno, maybe I'll be able to see his potential.

There's a short film of Sean Penn about 9/11, try to see it, it's fantastic. Yes I like "Curtas" (short films)

ooo, David Lynch, I can recommend the Lost Highway, if you're old enough, try Mulholland Drive, and if you want to see a series of him, they're called Twin Peaks, I'm sure you've heard of it. There's many others, but I think this ones are relevant, Mulholland by being a refined work of concepts explored in his past movies.

Emir Kusturica is a son of the Serbian liberation, he's somewhat free in the wild, his family past and roots and everything influences the stories in his movies. Plus he has a band that plays in all his movies. He makes allegories mostly, based on reality, on horrible things, turning them into happy stories, and they all have "happy endings", as the ending being a dream or hallucination, or just not happening at all, so he shows a dark therapy.
His movies are all about the Balkans, very good, if you want to follow his work, I recommend Underground ('95), it's an allegory of war, shows a city in Yugoslavia since WWII, bombed by the nazi, bombed by the soviets, bombed by the allies, and then bombed by themselves, passing through all the regimes. Get the picture?

Then a very funny movie, it's real superb in comedy, a kind of comedy we aren't used to see in modern times anymore, movie called Black Cat White Cat.

Then a refinement of concepts in a movie called Life is a Miracle, love story entwined in the Bosnia vs Serbia war. It's fantastic, basically it's a refined Underground, being Underground wilder and more surrealistic.

Want to see a work of his band?

Interesting...I might be old enough to see Mulholland Drive, depending on Mom's opinion of it, and I've heard of Twin Peaks.  A lot of people have compared it to Lost in terms of the twists, strange storylines, and amazing ensemble.

I'll have to look for Kusturica...

Well you can see it if you're 10yo, the problem is that if you're going to understand it, plus has pretty intense scenes, the one I remember the most is a girl masturbating herself, the causes are amasingly exquisite as she's madly in-love, the whole plot is pretty intense, and you'll understand the whole story in the end of the movie.
The story is like 2 points of view, and you can see how twisted both can be.

Lost Highway is great, specially in the music. For his movies, is the best I've seen, refined concepts etc.

Twin Peaks is the opening of mystery soaps, what...the 1st CSI or whatever you want to compare it. Of course, with a little touch of Lynch's surrealism. It's the story of a murder and the investigation by an FBI agent in a deep country village in the shadow of Twin Peaks mountain range. It's worth getting the series.

I hope "10yo" doesn't mean 10 years old...in America, we cannot watch a scene of a girl masturbating at 10.  I might not be able to watch that now, at 15.

Who killed Laura Palmer?

lol that's the ten million dollar question as you say there. I never watched the whole series, I got the "1st season" as now we call fased series. I don't know who.

You can always break the law, as long nobody knows, who cares? If you really can't, it'll be hard for you to see many of the Lynch's work, it's for grownups. If you parents think Cinema and arts can be revealing to your personality or education, please ask them to rent the movie or something, as if they think that, they either already seen that movie or they should see it.

If I remember it right, Laura's father killed her. He was possessed or something like that. I was much too young to get into the show when it was on, but my older brothers liked it.
