#cinemastudies — Public Fediverse posts

Jonas Mekas built a co-op so underground films could survive without the system. Ted Hope is building FilmStack for the same reason. Same impulse, sixty years apart. Here's the thread. https://joetripician.substack.com/p/the-underground-and-the-non-dependent

A look at how the 1920 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde reshaped Stevenson through Wildean decadence, silent-era psychology, and a touch of early cinematic chaos. A century later, its strange DNA still echoes through every misbehaving Victorian monster on screen.

Day of Wrath (2006) wants to defend Jewish endurance but ends up inventing the world’s least self-aware conspiracy theory: a Spain where everyone’s secretly Jewish and the Inquisition was their idea. A pious mess of hypocrisy, history, and candlelit melodrama.

One-Eyed Jacks (1961) is as thematically uneven as its director-star Marlon Brando’s range was wide. Alternately blunt and subtle, the film’s irregular approach achieves a precarious balance in a notable sequence that features a replica of the Mona Lisa quietly hanging in the background like Poe’s purloined letter.

Tell Me How I Die trades genuine suspense for formulaic fatalism, ignoring real-world precarity and diversity issues. A cheap thrill for iCarly fans, but a missed chance for deeper horror.

Unpacking Madrid, 1987: where naked bodies expose power, not passion; aging creatives confront emptiness; and sex is less climax than chore.

Josef Kubota Wladyka’s Catch the Fair One packs promise, grit, and a ferocious lead performance by real-life fighter Kali Reis — and then fades to black before it earns the KO.

All couples fight — but what if the fight never ends? Sam Levinson’s Malcolm & Marie strips down the toxic cycles of ego, art, race, and codependency in a brutal two-character showdown.

The Woman King wants to be a historical epic, a feminist manifesto, and a Hollywood crowd-pleaser all at once — but ends up shrinking its story, flattening its stakes, and softening its message. A case study in studio-glossed ‘representation.’

🎸 Groupie (2010) wants to be Fatal Attraction with guitars — but instead, it borrows real-life tragedy for cheap drama and fails to deliver any real insight. A horror of missed opportunities.

I'm really enjoying this objective, scientifically rigorous critical analysis of the relative merits of nineties action #movies. #cinema #cinemastudies https://youtu.be/zRZdgwYR40s

This is actually quite a good visualization of the #SightAndSound poll “controversy” - #film #cinema #CinemaStudies

Have been feeling inspired after doing some work assembling communities that I'm really interested in - thought I'd do a tag dump for some of the areas that I'm looking into, as well as have already found super interesting, have been following and am boosting... (not in alphabetical order and probably too broad but for my own future reference also!)

Also I suppose really this is a second #Introduction after the #TwitterMigration as I'm still relatively #NewHere so... Hi again! Feel free to follow or boost if this sounds like your areas of interest also

An #introduction:

My name is Joshua Goodstein and I'm an MA student in #MediaStudies at The New School hoping to start a PhD in the next few years. My interests are in #cinema studies, #film and stage #musicals, classic #Hollywood, #stardom, camp, #queer theory, and #culturalstudies. #histodon #academic #commodon #filmstudies #cinemastudies

An unsung #film I recently discovered for myself is Buck and The Preacher. Directed by #SidneyPoitier and starring him and #HarryBelafonte , it is a brilliant deconstruction of the #western - it takes about 20 minutes to get off the ground, but once it does, damn. It is a critique of the genre similar to the one #JamesBaldwin posits in #TheDevilFindsWork - #westerns #cinemastudies #LitStudies #filmstudies @litstudies

Discussed editing in my Intro to Cinema class today. To illustrate the effects of editing, I showed 2 scenes at coffee/tea shops: first in Secrets and Lies (no editing) and second in Heat (robust editing). To my delightful surprise, they preferred Secrets and Lies. #film #cinemastudies #cinema #LitStudies #LitScholars #MikeLeigh #AcademicMastadon

I’m just finishing up my own private #LuchinoVisconti mini #film festival: #roccoandhisbrothers #TheLeopard and the “German trilogy” of #TheDamned #Ludwig and #DeathinVenice - he’s fallen off the radar but he’s brilliant, painterly in his vision, and his autopsy of the nobility/privileged speaks well to the current political moment. #filmstudies #cinemastudies 🎥
