I love when extremely niche art reaches the mainstream people; nobody knows how to react (hence every comment on here so far). When a film is released & all the reviews are either 1's or 10's, I know the creative force behind it has succeeded. Bertrand Mandico does just this. Can't wait to watch this one! I could be wrong, but her character/the title being named "Conann" is likely one of the least important parts of this movie
I love when the pretentious art house crowd pretends how “mainstream people” don’t know how to react. No. You just don’t like that the reaction seems to be disdain. Sorry. This looks like shit
niche art ? no no no niche is a movie involving an actual band with the actual band playing the lead like studio 666 which was foofighter or tenacious D and the pick of destiny.
The comments on this remind me of reviews on the Redbox website back in the day, when a weird art House movie showed up in the kiosk next to the regular Hollywood stuff. Bunch of mainstream people who have no idea what they’re looking at losing their shit is so funny! People are obviously coming to this because of the name Conan, but this movie is not for normies obviously!
it`s a pity that not everyone will understand what is happening)) really subtly))) today there are not many educated people who know why this is so interesting and unusual))))
Imagine if Arnold Schwarzenegger is the new Wonder Woman. A small group of people might think that’s “rad” but most people would roll their eyes. There’s actually a Conan adjacent female lead character Red Sonja that they could have went with but instead they just went with Conan, a character never meant to be female by the author of the Conan books, to stir publicity. Its just ridiculous
I will watch absolutely anything Bertrand Mandico creates. Deeply affecting, esoteric, transgressive…a filmmaker the likes of which has not been seen since Jodorowsky. If you want common entertainment, this is not for you.
I just watched it. Criterion Collection worthy all the way! Anyone not seeing just how amazing this is are the same people that go to Marvel movies and not realize they're being fed the exact same movie each time. Hell.... most US made movies are just 2 hour long car and gun commercials. It's so refreshing to watch a piece of art. It's better than rad. It's fxcking rad!
@@AlteredInnocence Awesome! Thank you all for everything you do and especially for giving stellar directors like Mandico a chance to reach a bigger audience like he deserves to. I will definitely continue to support it!

just watched it. first 20 minutes i was confused whats going on and i thought i dont like the movie, but then slowly understood and it turned out to be an interesting watch, but not an easy one. i thought the filmmaking was pretty good as well as the sets, lots of details,.. and i am curious if the makers of this movie have made another less "artistic" movie which is easier to watch. i thought the dog lady "Rainer" was cool, the way she spoke.. but yeah, bizarre movie, i really got some weird 90s movies feeling, the kind you stumbled upon 2.a.m in the morning on tv.
I will probably still watch it, and I'm sure it's a treat for fans of bizzare monochrome French vignettes, but as a die hard "conann" fan I doubt this will be for me. It's sword and sorcery not glamor and nazis.
Hands down, one of the best pieces of cinema I've seen in years. A completely surrealist masterpiece up there with the likes of Jodorowsky and Terry Gilliam. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this makes it to The Criterion Collection in record time. Completely fascinating from start to finish.
Saw this at the local cinematheque. It was fantastic. I loved the visuals and the story telling. Definitely one of my favorite movies. Anyone here crying about wokeness, I just feel bad for. They must live in such a small world and be so scared of everything.
This movie is fantastic. I just saw it for the second time. It’s stylish, intense, queer, funny, and both superficially entertaining and deep. If people don’t like it they probably just aren’t generally into film of this kind with a rawer look and less standard narrative structure. Also, focusing on adherence to the “Conan” source completely misses the point.
Movies like this are made so people like you can act like you’re more moral than people who just want a regular old adventure flick. This is coming from someone who loves art house, but if you’re gonna be a snobby cunt about it you’re no better than the plebeians you seem to think you’re better than

I love how anyone who tries to defend this film does it in such a passive-aggressive snooty art-house genius way, not so much praising the film on its own merits as making sure anyone who has the temerity to disagree with them knows how wrong their opinion is.

As is obvious to anyone who enjoys the brilliant cacophony of Tommy Wiseau's ouvre, the rabble simply can not appreciate nor understand films like She Am Cone Ann. Who would ever expect the proletariat to come close to the ass-sniffing brilliance of this film? Lazy slobs that wouldn't know Fellini from Reifenstah and who think the cutting social commentary of Neil Breen's films is that most ignorant of phrase-turning, "it is so bad it's good." Such balderdash! Of course THEY would not appreciate a masterpiece like She Am Cone Ann. They barely wash themselves! Ha ha , oh, twadle... ....What was that? Discuss the merits of the film itself? Pish posh, dear boy! How can I do that without first denegrating another human being who has the unmitigated gall to have an opinion that differs from mine own?? Ha! What capers! Insulting others is the cornerstone to any discussion upon the webs o'inter! How else shall I prop myself up today? Now begone, I have more luscious farts to sniff." Or something like that.
It’s just a bunch of rich kids playing pretend to make their perceived enemies angry. Kinda lazy not gonna lie, I can get all the Homies together and put on some crazy cosplay and make out with each other and call it “life of Sylvia Plath” too, but I don’t anyone will call me artistic…

Finally a Conan art film. Should be an interesting role-reversal and I’m excited for the reimagining. Awesome aesthetic.
When was the last time someone made an art film like this inspired by Conan? No one has ever done this before dumbass.@@daveg1394
