Been spending my "vacation" on completing the filmography of several big name directors.
-Kubrick: "Barry Lyndon"
-Coen Bros: "Inside Llweyn Davis"
-Scorsese: "Brining Out the Dead"
-Ridley Scott: "White Squall" and "Someone to Watch Over Me"
-Francis Ford Coppola: "The Rainmaker" Can't seem to find his latest, smaller movies like "Twixt" and "Distant Vision"
-Tim Burton: "Big Eyes"
-Kurosawa: "Red Beard" and "Dreams"
I keep seeing all these binges of classic movies but zero yi yi
-Vader
His work is on my list. What would you recommend starting with?
despite its length, Yi Yi tbh. That and Brighter Summer Day are reasonably accessible domestic epics, with the latter acting as a sort of period gangland drama / coming of age story. His earlier movies, like Tepei Story and The Terrorizers, lean into a more post-modern Antonioni-esque sorta vibe. I love all of them, but I think Yi Yi is one of those movies everyone should see once.
I love A Brighter Summer Day better than YiYi. Edward Yang is unmissable, guys.
BTW, just watched The Whistlers (La Gomera), a film by Romanian auteur Corneliu Porumboiu, which premiered in competition in last year's Cannes. I love it, it's massive fun! A different type of noir filmmaking.
