I hope I don’t have to point out film ratings are subjective.

Oh come on mate I've already put it up 3/4 of a point.

Godard season on Mubi has been great.

Did they show his most recent one, The Image Book? I saw it at the IMAX (of all places) and really liked it. The guy in the seat next to me huffed and sighed all the way through it, though - think he hadn't got the memo that Godard gave up on narrative cinema around half a century ago lol

I might try for this at the weekend... although in all honesty I think I preferred Malick when he was a very mysterious 2-film wonder.

Yeah, they are showing it. Although they did show it when it first came out (I think they bought the rights for it).

Ahaa you have to respect that guy ignoring everything from 1975ish onwards, in a way.

Apparently this one actually had a script!

A few reviews say it's his best in ages as it fuses both old and new so let's hope the 4 people watching the film at the start make it to the end. Seeing it at a Showcase, oddly.

Just watched United 93, about the plane that was hijacked on 9/11 the one that crashed in the field.
Good film, interesting film, although the end is a bit moving, no spoilers but it's kind of obvious how it ends.
For anyone who has seen it, the guy at the air traffic control, the fella in charge, historical note, that was his first day in the job, he started the job that very morning, what a day. From what I can recall it's pretty accurate although I guess no one really knows what happened on the plane

Went to watch 1917 last night, it really is a cinematic masterpiece! Has to be watched on the big screen to be fully appreciated. Sam Mendes deserves an Oscar for this. 9/10

Excellent watch. One fault I would pick is I

What kind of person ruins a film for others...

This is why the swear filter was invented.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Excellent watch. One fault I would pick is I think they may have killed off one of the 2 too early . The dialogue between them would have made it even better .

Saved me 20 sovs that.
Cheers

That rings a bell now. Do you do the MUBI subscription that includes a cinema ticket every week? If so, does it work well?

I don't think he was quite as shocked as the young couple who spilled in a few minutes before the film began, clutching giant buckets of popcorn and other sweets & drinks. I think they must've thought "hey, let's see a film in IMAX", but from their reactions it looked like Godard's latest video essay wasn't quite what they'd banked on; Bumblebee it ain't. I'm sure the miserable old sod would have loved the idea of this going on.

Weirdly, Cineworld also have it. Although the nearest one that has it is about a 45 min drive from me, so I'm still weighing it up.

Fyi, there's a website called Feverup.com that does lots of discounts etc, inc for Cineworld and Odeon. Don't know how much difference it will make in your area, but near me (SW London) I get tickets for £8.50 (or less) instead of £12/13...

Cineworld used to do a monthly unlimited card for £13 and there was one right outside my office showing films at 440. Used to go a couple of times a week and have the whole place to myself. Then they changed the film times and also they show a lot of rubbish.

Norwegian film set in WW2 called The Twelfth Man.
Good.

There's a reason the Norwegians don't send a Christmas Tree to Berlin...just sayin like.
