Ill admit i went into it with a bad attitude after Sight & Sound bounced a bunch of all time masterpieces off the list to jack Portrait up to the 30th best film of all time

I feel like it takes years for a film to settle into its place in the cannon and it feels very ridiculous to slap a 2019 movie over all of these;

definitely just felt like it got there because its queer coded and directed by a woman and they didnt want to look so old, male and white (which I get but where's Elaine May who is actually great).

my gf was accusing me of being a chauvinist for thinking this before we hit play and went it was over she was like

"yeah that was good but definitely not touching all those classics that got bounced off the list"

You haven’t seen Rio Bravo, Lawrence, or The Wild Bunch?

Elric

no they're more like The Quietus or something. they been doing poll that the industry votes on for "Top 100 films of all time" list once per decade since 1952... Citizen Kane was at the top every year for like 50 years... then Vertigo for a few decades.... and now its Jeanne Dielman which is a great film but its also the slowest 200 minute French film you could possibly imagine. probably inaccessibly slow to about 98 percent of filmgoers.. but hey its a woman at the top finally

say what you will about Chinatown but Portrait is not better then every film made by;

Brian De Palma, Michael Mann, Werner Herzog, John Huston, Wim Wenders, Howard Hawks, Robert Altman etc....

I get the film industry was extremely geared toward male filmmakers which was unfair but still feel like they overcompensated to a crazy degree.

none of this really matters but it did skew my expectations for Portrait. I expected a life changing masterpiece but was mostly bored.

no i havent really been watching movies that are that dusty

i get not liking it but yeah going into anything expecting a masterpiece is always going to be tough

and the part about overcompensation is kinda tough. ive noticed this with music but in film i feel like its even more pronounced. like clearly men vastly outnumbered women in these fields and had a staggering advantage so its hard to retroactively act like it was more equal than it was. and the fewer women artists did actually tend to be underrated anyway so that makes it even tougher to try to decide how high they should really be

You listen to much dustier music

You gotta see Rio Bravo. Ricky Nelson is amazing in it.

took me a long time to be able to listen to music that dusty though

plus the abstract nature of music makes it a little easier. with films its multiple things combining like entirely different ways of storytelling, visuals, dialogue, culture, humor, etc. its a lot to process
