100 of the greatest decade in cinema

It’s an ethnographic documentary, but with close-ups and crazy angles. Nothing before Cranes Are Flying

Gold rush is great

Dang I should've done 100 too

Ashamed i never finished Napoleon

If you have spare 5 hours until you see the triptych sequence

A 100 is the hardest thing to do, but 10 is easiest out of my mind.

Ngl i got a few hours in and had no clue what was going on felt like I didnt know enough about Napoleon to keep up

the first hour was was pure zenith tho

Reading about Napoleon essentially what the film captures on. From French Revolution to Siege of Toulon then, marriage with Josephine de Beauharnais. It concludes the start of the Italian campaign. That's a quick summary.

Too late

Doing the ultimate wheat-based double bill to start 1930 today :elon: any guesses?

Raoul Walsh's The Big Trail and Howard Hawks' The Dawn Patrol

The Big Trail was 70mm before the 50s

Where's the wheat

My boy Murnau back with City Girl even though you can barely perceive his style compared to Sunrise. can definitely feel the influence on Malick.

Zemlya up next

i think i know where this b**** wants to get purified @twinkletoez

:ohno:

@Aruji which version of Der Blaue Engel did you swear by again?

still think this is one of the most quietly transcendent 4 minutes in cinema

@rowjaystan fave silent soviet folms?

"Earth was released on 8 April 1930 and was banned by Soviet authorities nine days later"

"The original negative for the film was destroyed by a German air raid on Kyiv in the First Battle of Kyiv during Operation Barbarossa in 1941"

insane times

the German

I ain’t seen no 1930 joint. Only thing I’ve seen is that Swing You Sinners cartoon.

If you want to check something out this is the year Sternberg teamed up with Dietrich the man was famous for conjuring the most intoxicatingly exotic and artificial settings and for his steamy run of classics with Marlene. You won't believe your eyes on some of them, just insane mastery of the chaos in front of his camera. Morocco even has a super young Gary Cooper costar.
