troupeau bleu.: a few movies i love.

i've always been interested in cinematography but last summer and the summer before that was my peak - i read 4 books about movies and i felt like i know everything :D of course i do not, plus, all the information disappeared quickly because i just couldn't make myself watch movies or read about movies this year while studying. but i have much more time now and i'm trying to get into movies more now. here are a few "mainstream" and more "underground" movies i loved.

1. tampopo

a very weird movie about japan's culture and ramen making. loved it because i feel a weird connection to japan and also it had some very funny scenes.

2. le feu follet

can't remember much of it but i know that i watched it when i was being very dramatic and philosophical and i know that i loved it then.

3. pierrot le fou.

yet another great movie from french new wave's era. loved the french vibe, weirdness of it.

4. stalker

a very well-know movie for cinephiles - one of the best works of tarkovsky, very deep, would recommend it to everyone.

5. i origins

i great and different love story, one of the movies which made me interested in today's cinematography.

6. requiem for a dream

an incredibly sad movie showing us the consequences of drug abuse, scenes with that orange haired woman were super scary.

7. coffee and cigarettes

whole movie is made of different dialogues but with same recurring theme, you guessed it, coffee and cigarettes.

8. vertigo

one of my favourite of hitchcock's - visually stunning and with and interesting plot.

9. blue velvet

i won't start blabbering about how amazing lynch is but this is my favourite movie of his even though i feel like every single work of his has a special place in my heart.

10. kill bill (both films)

not a huge action fan but i loooved this. i've actually watched the majority of tarantino's movies and i can say that his aesthetic is incredible.

11. mr. nobody

loved it for the interesting editing and plot - movie shows a few different realities.

12. 2001: a space odyssey

i don't even think i have to comment kubric's work and especially this movie, which hasn't been explained until today and probably never will be.

13. the truman show

only recently i realised what an amazing actor jim carrey is and my favourite movie of his is this one.

14. midnight in paris

one of those movies you can watch 10 thousand times and never get bored - amazing views, music, actors, plot.

15. the rocky horror picture show

don't know why, but a lot of people are against musicals and i tend to enjoy them quite a lot. saw this one about 4 times already - very funny and yet again visually stunning.

16. fight club
