Ah I couldn't agree more. It's one that I really hope someone like Criterion pick up to distribute, because it's a film that definitely deserves a wider physical release and audience. I'm still coming down from Metropolis I think, mind blowing stuff. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for a great video. I haven’t heard of or seen any of these movies ( besides Metropolis which is fantastic ! ) but the themes are really interesting. I’m keen to give a few of them a go.
Awesome video Warren; really loved it mate 😀🍿🎸🎶 ‘Petite Maman’ is such a beautiful little film with a real ornate resemblance about it; such a sweet little film 😊 So pleased you loved ‘The Worst Person In The World’ on rewatch mate; I absolutely love that film; seen it 3 times now and it’s slowly becoming one of my fav Foreign Language films for sure! I saw ‘Metropolis’ at Tyneside over a year ago and it was magical on the big screen; great to make my first time watch of it at the big screen and I’m yet to pick up the Eureka edition of it as it’s an amazing film 👌 Great watches mate; ‘Camera Buff’ is another really solid film from Kieslowski and he has vastly become one of my fav directors 😀🍿🎸🎶
Thanks so much Sam. Definitely massively connected with Worst Person in the World this time, and like yourself I think it might be one I re-visit more in the future! Oh mate I'm jealous, seeing Metropolis on the big screen would be a dream. I bet it was absolutely stunning. Eureka have a nice edition of it, though I can't help myself now but look for their OOP limited editions they made! I was so glad you liked Camera Buff as it really connected with me. Looking forward to the next 2 in that boxset for sure.
Another exceptional video, Goose. I enjoy your blending of commentary with clips, stills and showing of the disc. I think I had an off day when I watched Petite Maman as I didn’t get on well with it and have little memory of it, but I’ve loved a number of other Sciamma movies so I’m very sure the problem was with me. Maybe a bit like you say with The Worst Woman in the World where you felt completely differently second time around. I did love that one on first watch and then found the other two in the Oslo trilogy, both very good also. You summed up Riceboy Sleeps better than me, a lovely film. I still need to see Camera Buff and The Holdovers!
Thanks so much Neil, I really appreciate that. It's taken a lot of videos, but I hope I've found a good balance in the editing these days. A while back Roy said in a comment that a film 'caught him on the wrong day', and I use that phrase all the time now. Definitely the case with me and Worst Person in the World the first time. Thankfully it you ever want to re-visit Petite Maman, it's quite a short one at only about 70ish minutes. I am really excited to see more from Sciamma now for sure. Like yourself I think most people really love her other films. Ah I'm making my way through the Oslo trilogy at the moment, having just watched Reprise which was really interesting, so really glad to hear you enjoyed them. I'm looking forward to August 31st. Trier wasn't a filmmaker I was very familiar with before, so it's great getting into them. Thoroughly enjoyed your thoughts on Riceboy Sleeps too, and interesting to get your perspective as someone that lives in Canada. (I was lucky enough to visit once and I absolutely loved the country, though only saw a small part of it of course.)
Hey Goose some interesting stuff watched this month. I'm ashamed to say the only one I've seen is Metropolis and as you say Lang's masterpiece and one of the most influential movies ever. Thanks for sharing 👍 ❤
Thanks so much Roy, definitely a strong start to my year! I'm still flabbergasted by Metropolis and it's scale and brilliance. Absolutely incredible stuff. I know you've got the t-shirt as well, and it's one that I'm glad to have another way to celebrate it.
What an outstanding month of movie watching you had! All time greats, under appreciated character studies and one of my favourite modern movies in Frantz, the remake of the Lubitsch Broken Lullaby. I echo everything you said about it. Petite Maman is a similarly quiet meditation on serious themes but with an uplifting and positive outlook. I’ve just finished the Ted Chiang book and a series of podcasts on each story though I’m not a massive fan of the execution of each story. Some wonderful ideas for exploration for sure though. Also a fan of Red Sun as well. It feels like your January was a celebration of many things I love. Thanks for sharing 😀
Ah I didn't know Frantz was a remake! A downside of streaming it was that I didn't have any extras to dive into to explore it further. Broken Lullaby is an absolute must buy for me during the next Indicator sale then. Petite Maman is already one that I think will be among my favourites of this year despite watching it in January. As you say the uplifting nature of it was something really special. Also I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed Red Sun. I was reading the reviews on letterbox'd and I was surprised at the low ratings, so I'm delighted to hear that there are at least a few of us that liked it! Ah I really look forward to hearing your thoughts on the stories then. The Tower of Babylon was one that I could not stop thinking about. If you haven't read Exhalation his other book, I can highly recommend that as well, and again the first story in the book is the one that stuck with me the most. (I've also been dipping into the SF Masterworks series, but unfortuantely haven't got to any that you've discussed yet, but looking forward to when I do!)
@@goosesmovies I had no idea it was a remake either until I was halfway through the Lubitsch film and stopped it, quizzical and started googling as the two stories were close to identical! 😀 Then I checked the disc and of course there’s an extra comparing the two films. Such a joy! Also the film I recommended for the Criterion Collection in the first Roundtable. As you also highlight, Paula Beer is such a joy on screen - the highlight of Afire as well. 😎
You know I had exactly the same thing after watching The Devil is a Woman with Marlene Dietrich, as shortly after I randomly watched randomly Bunuel's That Obscure Object of Desire and I thought hold on a minute, and also had to pause and google!
Just checked that Chiang ebook out from my library. Appreciate the recommendation!
My pleasure, I hope you enjoy it! I can highly recommend his second book Exhalation too, if you like the first one.
Riceboy Sleeps is a real gem! And Metropolis is one of my all-time faves

Thanks so much for watching! I'm so glad I could spark your interest to check them out. I really hope you enjoy the ones you watch 😃

@goosesmovies coincidentally I uploaded a video this morning mentioning that you'd watched Metropolis 👀 😀
