La Notte his highest rated and second most popular on Letterboxd

Figured Blow Up would be his highest rated as well as most popular

Yeah I resisted LB for a few years but it's extremely helpful ngl. You should get it.

Do you watch everything in order? Even then The American Friend is great and Bresson didn't make that many movies. Diary of a Country Priest is one of the two movies I've seen by him

Memento shouldn't be unpopular and actually used to be a popular pick. By far and away his best movie

Edward Yang: That Day On The Beach

Andrei Tarkovsky: Nostalghia (tied with Mirror tho)

Park Chan-wook: Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance (Oldboy is fantastic but Handmaiden is kinda between good and mid. Decision To Leave was quite the return to form)

Francis For Coppola: The Conversation

Denis Villeneuve: Enemy

Elia Kazan: Splendor In The Grass

Peter Jackson: Braindead

Jean-Luc Godard: Weekend

Richard Kelly: Southland Tales (Donnie Darko overrated af. Poor man's Lost Highway)

Jim Jarmusch: Paterson

Aki Kaurismäki: Calamari Union

Christian Petzold: Die innere Sicherheit

Alejandro Jodorowsky: The Dance Of Reality

Charlie Kaufman: I'm Thinking of ending things

Lars von Trier: Riget or Europa

Steven Spielberg: Duel

Brian De Palma: Body Double

Sam Peckinpah: Convoy

Vittorio De Sica: Miracle in Milan

Blow Up is also his best. But he’s got such a good filmog, everything from L’Avventura to Passenger would be a popular pick imo

La Notte is way more accessible than Blow Up tbh.

Usually. Did with Wenders and Rossellini but not Bresson. I don't hate Man Escaped, Pickpocket, Balthazar and Mouchette etc but Diary hits so much harder.

Did not enjoy American Friends unfortunately. Love those actors.

It's been so long since I've watched some Antonioni that I don't even have most of them logged so I'm too rusty to have a strong opinion tbh. I loved them all up till Passenger which I remember being a bit of a snooze. Again, unfortunate cause Jack the goat.

Really creative concept and storytelling. But I gotta go with Inception as his best He took concepts universal to dreams like time dilation, waking up when you're realising you're dreaming, that trip feeling that makes you wake up etc and used them all brilliantly for this movie

yea The Passenger felt a little off at times but I still liked it. Jack did great in this one tbh.

Blow Up lacked the mystique of his Italian stuff but I'm such a swinging 60s england stan that it was awesome for other reasons.

I know Ant originally wanted The Who for the concert scene but capturing the brief peak of the Jeff Back led Yardbirds is legendary

Jack was untouchable in the 70s sorry DeNiro, Pacino, Hoffman whoever

idk I like Inception but Memento is more radical in it's approach. At the end of the day it completely attacks the certainty of our own memories and therefore the justification of our own judgements and actions. This, however, fantastically expressed via it's structure. and omg I love that score and the general mood.

It’s a bit more literal but less mystique is probably just because the ppl are speaking English instead of Italian lol. Love that movie so much, still think of it every time I hear leaves rustle in the wind.

Nobody ever translated Heideggerian themes better to film than Antonioni

Bladerunner

Have you seen No Other Choice yet?

Wait this said unpopular picks lol my bad

no. probably beginning of February. heard good things

wasn't Kubrick very proud of it?

I don't see why he wouldn't be. He made it
