zippi Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Pink Flamingos (1972) A film that arguably started John Water's slow and steady progression from all out weird and ultimate breakthrough into (weird) mainstream (by the end of 80s and via Hairspray) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyse1 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 One of the best films I’ve ever seen In London about 1980 at the cinema called Curzon from memory You could buy beer and Mex and watch art cinema from memory The Church Of Jesus Christ Without Jesus in It Still ” makes me laugh Pretty much sums up Christianity today despite being written I think in the 50’s Directed by John Huston one of his last movie A very Mucho man guy but sure made great films and this was one of his last 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippi Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) a bit of a "curve ball" from Iranian cinema: Gabbeh (1996) dir. Mohsen Makhmalbaf. Title translates to The Rug. Shortish (just over 70mins), otherworldly meditation on passage of time and relativity and beauty of the world.

bob_m_54 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I'm not sure what it takes to classify as a "cult" flick, but here's a couple of oddball movies I liked Death in Brunswick (Sam Neill) Dogs in Space (Michael Hutchence) Silent Partner (the Aussie movie with David Field... "kill hungry thirsty dead") 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian McP Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 Think Busten Keaton deadpan, this is a real gem! Might be hard to track down just now but keep an eye out for it streaming somewhere! http://miff.com.au/program/film/it-must-be-heaven < A Palestinian filmmaker goes globetrotting only to be shadowed by reminders of home in this very meta, Cannes award-winning film. From Nazareth to Paris to North America, Elia Suleiman’s alter ego ES wanders the globe, wordlessly observing its absurdities wherever he goes. Tanks roll into the streets of a near-empty Paris, cops ride Segways in balletic formation and citizens casually carry AK-47s in American supermarkets. Along the way, his meetings with film producers end unsuccessfully as his comedy feature pitch is rejected as "not Palestinian enough". Winning a Special Mention at Cannes as well as the FIPRESCI Prize, the delightfully whimsical It Must Be Heaven is director/writer/star Elia Suleiman’s first feature in a decade, following 2009’s The Time That Remains. Often likened to a modern-day Buster Keaton or Jacques Tati, Suleiman employs silent comedy to wryly reflect on questions of home, identity and belonging. "Mostly, It Must Be Heaven is about how we view the world through the Instagram filter of what defines us. But it’s also, arguably, more objective than that – suggesting that we all now live in a kind of global Palestine, where arbitrary displays of power, threats of violence, and lost people in search of meaning and identity are the new normal." – Screen Daily > https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/may/24/it-must-be-heaven-review-palestines-holy-fool-lives-the-dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
