I really loved the 2013 Aleksei German film adaptation, even if it strays from the book details. Something about the claustrophobic camera work and the filthy sets helped me sense Rumata's disappointment with Arkanar.
The visual style of this trailer reminds me of a mix between the 1989 Hard to be a God adaptation and Dune, I hope it turns out good! I'll definitely watch this if I can.
I remember waiting for this one to come out on VHS at our local rental shop. Definitetly a good one. It was hyped a lot on TV and as a kid I thought the idea was cool.
Ha! I completely forgot about this movie. Great film. I need to watch it again...
<3 Glad it provided some comfort for him too, that had to have been hard.
My dad loved this movie and watched it constantly during his mental decline. It was a great comfort to him, always made him cry.
Yeah no problem, thanks for the suggestions!
If 90s are old enough for you, Mediterraneo and tre uomini e una gamba are the classics in my family
Thank you for the recommendations, I'll check them out!
Bud Spencer also had a seperate thing going with the Piedone series.
After some hungarian duckduck-fu, and I found this:
La dolce vita
La ciociara
Le notti di Cabiria
Alright, this is a fun rabbit hole. So, we have a ton of Fellini movies, 8½ being one I actually heard of (and might even watch one day I have patience for subtitles again). That led me to Marcello Mastroianni, who has an extensive catalogue and seems to be a big thing (he's also familiar). You might as well look through Sophia Lauren's earlier works as well.
If newer ones are also in the run, I'd personally recommend La vita è bella, and just generally Roberto Benigni. His segment in Night on Earth is just laugh out loud spectacular.
This puts into very eloquent words what I felt after spending three hours on this movie.
By the author of the latest English translation of the Odysseia, no less.
Thank you, Miss Wilson.
That ended nicely for what was mostly a solid takedown.
Michelle Yeoh is a good actress IMO. I'll probably check this out.
I know Baal. But you will have to be more specific about which ball type you are referring to.
Great show!
You are right to be lol, it might be like Twitter. Currently what is not working on Twitter:

People are only just now realizing they need to switch. Sigh. I still have all these features since I get my friends' posts through RSS. I see them complaining about not seeing each other. Same could happen with Letterboxd. Also other guy pointed out we have NeoDB to usher them into so it's worth a shot
All good points. I mean, I don't use Letterboxd, but I know it's more than just reviews. I'm just worried about what will happen when it gets bought by a company I don't care for.
Nice, I don't think I have seen it mentioned. Well, if there's a good time to convince people to use it, it would be now. People hate these companies. In my experience with FOSS alternatives people are only willing to bother to upgrade to a better platform (even if they see it has better features & fewer downsides to make up for the more cloistered network, which can also be a positive, feels like a small private party) if they already have you in their inner ring of correspondence, very frequent, worth developing redundancies for. Most people I discuss art with are at arm's length. I'll try!
there's NeoDB in case you didn't know, it is not solely for movies so maybe that's not quite what you're looking for but i switched to using that from Letterboxd a while ago and have been pretty happy with it for my purposes.
Of course I'd love to hop on a Letterboxd version of Funkwhale or Bookwyrm! Not everyone has the skills or spare time to whip it up & maintain it.
Letterboxd is a way for me to subscribe solely to people I talk to. The RSS feeds are good, shows logs, ratings, reviews, I figure the timeline is about the same. I don't even go to the actual movie pages except to log something, & roll my eyes at a top level review occasionally, when I hate myself.
Letterboxd always comes up in discussions of alternative sites to IMDb. I think it’s high time we stop recommending it and focus on FOSS services — marine something on the Fediverse? I do not trust Netflix or Sony or the paedo site and the less said about Paramount the better.
Animal Farm is balls
That website sucks every ass to ever poop. Why are you posting level 8 adspam?
Avatar (2009) is a breathtaking cinematic masterpiece that redefined visual storytelling. The stunning world of Pandora, groundbreaking effects, and powerful story still feel magical even after all these years. James Cameron delivered something truly epic!

Why is this film getting shilled so fucking hard?
I've seen 3 posts on various lemmy instances about "its cool guys plz watch it" to "hey its actually good no need to boycott".
I haven't seen this much shilling since Israel justifying Gaza timeshares.
I can only assume Ryan gosling will be showing up on the epstein list and needs a paycheck before it comes out.
Sooo that means it'll be pirateable earlier!
Edit. Nvm, they can watch it in theaters earlier. Damn it, just finished the book yesterday.
