"Voy a quedarme aquí todo el tiempo que haga falta. Estoy esperando la casualidad de mi vida, la más grande, y eso que las he tenido de muchas clases".

Porque, a veces, las mayores historias de amor son las que nunca llegan a serlo...

welcome to the arthouse cinema community!

“An art film, art cinema, or arthouse film is typically an independent film, aimed at a niche market rather than a mass market audience. It is "’ntended to be a serious, artistic work, often experimental and not designed for mass appeal’”

- wikipedia on “art films”

i am of the belief that hollywood has shaped film into something that feels commercial. we live in a time full of remakes, spin-offs, and sequels. we live in a world where many people forget that film is not just entertainment, it is an art.

this is a community for people who recognize that film is more than just something to pass the time, something to put on in the background. it is a beautiful medium that expands storytelling into something incredible. it is one of the newest art forms with much left to be explored and experimented with. the new frontier of the arts.

please use this space to discuss all elements of arthouse cinema. remember to respect other’s opinions and be kind <3

Rumble Fish (Francis F. Coppola, 1983)

[grunge-samurai]

If I had a cent for every film I've watched this week, that's from 2023, is directed by a foreigner, has an asian protagonist living in a big city, deals with heavy emotional subjects subtlely, has an ethereal vibe all the way through, and starts with a P, I'd have 2 cents; which isn't a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice.

Mast Mein Rehne Ka (2023)

A man chooses an old widower's home for his first robbery, kicking off a set of events that have them both look at life in a new way and with new companions in the starkness of the city of Mumbai.

An original, heart felt, thought provoking and simple story about getting old, friendships, lost opportunities and struggle to survive. I absolutely loved it. It is certainly original and these days when it is hard to come across something new, this must be commended. The two leads, as usual, are great but I was very impressed by Abhishek Chauhan and Monika Panwar. I hope I see more work by them in the future. They were very good in their role.

I highly recommend this if you are looking for something original, authentic and has a heartfelt message. It is on Amazon Prime.

Art cinemas are missing a trick. Do a Saturday afternoon double feature of “High School Musical” and “The Iron Claw.”

“When I grow up, I know exactly how I want my hair to look. Like Anouk Aimee's in La Dolce Vita." From "Introducing Rock 'N' Roll's Lady Raunch: Patti Smith" by Amy Gross, Mademoiselle, September 1975

“I was so fucked-up-looking in school, but it just didn't matter. Besides me wanting to be an artist, I wanted to be a movie star. I don't mean like an American movie star. I mean like Jeanne Moreau or Anouk Aimee in La Dolce Vita. I couldn't believe her in those dark glasses and that black dress and that sports car. I thought that was the heaviest thing I ever saw. Anouk Aimee with that black eye. It made me always want to have a black eye forever. It made me want to get a guy to knock me around. I'd always look great. I got great sunglasses.” From “Patti Smith: Can You Hear Me Ethiopia?" by Scott Cohen, Circus Magazine, December 1976

Born on this day ninety-two years ago: that most feline and inscrutable of mid-twentieth century French actresses, Anouk Aimée (née Nicole Françoise Florence Dreyfus, 27 April 1932). She’s a haunting, sensual and Garbo-like presence in the glory days of European art cinema. My favourite performances by Aimée: Les Amants de Montparnasse (1958), La Tête contre les murs (1959), La Dolce Vita (1960) – unforgettable as the most elegant jaded rich nymphomaniac in cinema history (pictured)! – Lola (1961), Model Shop (1968) and Justine (1969). But hell, I also love Aimée as the cruel lesbian queen in trashy sword-and-sandal biblical epic Sodom and Gomorrah (1962), with her voice dubbed by an American actress! It’s fascinating to contemplate that at the height of her international fame in the sixties, Hollywood considered Aimée for two high profile roles: the part played by Faye Dunaway in The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) – and The Baroness in The Sound of Music (1965)!
