The Art(s) of Slow Cinema
Favs/dislikes: 6:0. "This is a list of films I see fit the (my?) characteristics of Slow Cinema. I will update this list every time I come across a new film. The list only includes films I have personally seen. So unless I get my hands on some films that are mentioned on other website, I won’t list them here." - Nadin Mai -
Korean Noir
Favs/dislikes: 1:0. Korean Noir, Illuminating the Dark Side of Society presents key films whose ‘noirness’ has generated critical debate. The programme hopes to offer an overview of how Korean film noir from different periods has adopted and/or paid homage to the canon of film noir whilst at the same time reflecting the particular conventions of Korean culture and its cinema. -
Checked Noir Films
Favs/dislikes: 0:0. Film noir* is characterized by narrative and stylistic elements: the protagonist is lonely, sore, nihilistic; visuals, music, sound, mise-en-scène express a dirty, abandoned, violent and unforgiving world. The story builds up a limit situation of someone or something that kindles sentiment in the main character. The protagonist - half scoundrel, half anti-hero, fully broken person - leave us thinking: what is that that is left after all hope and reason to live is lost? Whatever it is has the power to make us define our existence. This list is a register of films I watched which relate to this idea. * My idea of Film Noir is more open than the canon's definition, probably because I was influenced by the variety of recent Neo-Noir films and their expansive themes.
