Computer, run a fit check

Watched this last night on a whim. Was not prepared for how long and dialogue heavy it is

On a technical level this is such an impressive film and Cate Blanchett is going to give Michelle Yeoh a run for her money at the Oscars

I think I liked it considering how much I keep thinking about it despite how subtle it was. That Julliard scene is incredible too.

Ngl Lydia Tar inspired my choice of fit for work today

I found a second watch amplifies all the comedy significantly, you may find it less subtle on a rewatch

Glad you mentioned how technically perfect it is. Not a single shot wasted or unnecessary moment in the whole thing, sublime editing, the pacing was flawless, in every category it feels totally seamless

And I love that you can get as much out of it knowing nothing about classical music as you would knowing everything about it

I’m obsessed with all the references they pack into this movie, from the dialogue to the outfits to the framing of certain shots, and how they don’t feel like cheap easter eggs. This is like an Eyes Wide Shut-level “movie for adults with immense depth to be mined for formal/critical/stylistic a***ysis”

there's a couple small inside jokes for people that listen to classical music like during the Julliard scene where she starts playing the piano like Glenn Gould and probably some dialogue during the lunch scenes that went over my head but I agree they do a good job at including u without talking down

Yeah aesthetically and cinematography-wise it's a gorgeous film. Lots of still shots too during dialogue where a more conventional director would go for close-up reaction shots. The more I think about it the intentionality of everything is what really makes this film.

You're not the first person I've seen talk about the comedy aspect. I'll have to go back after I clear these Oscar movies

you aint wanna go with the 3 stacks fit?

Not tryna get written up for bringing a bulletproof vest to work

lmao idk why i always loved that fit, the vest, d***ies and chains
and the teacup for accessories

Watching this tonight

Gonna rewatch this.

just watched & i cant wait to see it again. every detail felt so deeply considered im just putting together intention & layers havent felt like my brain has had so much to chew on after a movie in a while. that ending shot had me rolling movie of the decade so far for me

what is there to indicate that really? movie would be so much worse & boring if that were true

her hands

Close ya mouth

i thought about this & i think the point is that it's about foregrounding all the "little people" that prop up the genius/auteur. kind of a knowing self own from the director that'll inevitably get all the credit for the movie, the same way a conductor would for a symphony

Really solid, almost wish it were a TV series, I wanted more

yuck

Can’t wait for my trillionth rewatch

how many times do u see Krista show up in the movie, I counted four

wtf I thought she never appears

before she died

after

Holy s***…

@Misfit did you do some deep dive that put you on to this? Or did you figure it out on your own
