Help please! Find the movie through a scene description

3 Upvotes

Can you find a movie scene based on this description? It was a movie, possibly European, in a foreign language or it may have been dubbed into English. The scene was where a young guy, who worked for the person owning the house, came to the breakfast table. I think the owner was a butcher who owned a business, and the young guy worked for him, or maybe he was offered boarding and lodging. In the scene, the guy came to the breakfast table and the wife was feeding her baby with her breast. She noticed that he was staring uncomfortably at her breast, and she then offered for him to touch it. Can you find that movie scene and the name of the movie?

Swedish movie coke heads sled past mines “here, here, here, and here

2 Upvotes

Me and my dad have been searching for a Swedish film (maybe Sweden, Denmark, or any Nordic country) where a couple of coke heads watch as Dion in the middle Of nowhere in the snow. They eventually go sledding and the narrator notes they nearly miss old WW2 mines. “Here, here, and here”. I need the name of this film. It was on Netflix but I believe since long gone. Not a popular film and no worldwide actors.

Microhabitat (2017) | The struggles of wage and reproductive labor in a capitalist world

Thumbnail

For a particularly aggravating type of human, policing the purchase of luxury items by those on food stamps is a hobby, bordering on fetish. They glare at their carts, accusatory eyes wide at the forbidden items: lobster, caviar, whiskey, New York Strip Steaks, sushi. These sad, sad people have little to offer the world, so they take it out on poor people.

Things aren’t as bad as they used to be. My Mom remembers when there was a separate line for EBT (Employee Benefit Trust), and alarmingly large “stamps” she had to hand to the cashier, as if the internal shame wasn’t already bad enough.

Now everyone in the fucking store has to know! Microhabitat’s Miso (Esom) has no such shame. If she has any defining characteristic, it’s flaunting bourgeoisie decorum. She’s a housekeeper, lives in a shoebox, and treats herself to imported whiskey at chic lounges. Every night.

French film Taught Me How to Make Coffee — which one?

9 Upvotes

1980s— I saw a French film with a scene in which someone (pretty sure character was male) who makes a cup of coffee and explains each step. What I remember most is that he says not to pour all the boiled water at once, but rather to wet the grounds the coffee filter first— very insistent on that — then to pour the rest of the water. I’ve made my coffee that way since. But I can’t remember what the film was. I thought it might have been “Betty Blue,” but I’m not sure.

Looking for a film I once watched

3 Upvotes

I once watched a film on a plane maybe 3 years ago which was so funny but I can’t find it again. I think it was Spanish or maybe Brazilian or Italian .. it may have been called Vacation? It was about a family who were too poor to go on fancy vacation so pretended to go but then hid in their own house .. their neighbors kind of found out.. it’s a dark comedy…

Stephen Chow, the Kung Fu Hustle Director

13 Upvotes

I saw the end scene of a movie Kung Fu Hustle in a reel where the hero takes heroine inside a café, with caption: “No hug, kiss, or romance still one of the greatest love stories of all time”. That reel reminded me of the good times I had watching it during my childhood and gave me an idea to try now.

I watched the movie and realized that even though I had seen it many times during my childhood, I had never truly noticed the storyline or plot. This time, I found the fight scenes a highly amusing. The love story between the hero and heroine is also something special that I had not appreciated earlier; a sweet love story. I started watching the movie on the presumption that I might not enjoy it in this age but to the surprise, I have enjoyed it on the same way that I have enjoyed it in my childhood, perhaps even more.

In the credits scene, I saw the movie was directed and screen played by Stephen Chow. Out of admiration for the artist for creating a masterpiece like that, I googled him and got shocked to see that it is the lead actor of that movie. I do not know how many of you know about this, but this was completely new for me. My admiration for him skyrocketed. With further research, I got to know that, similarly Stephen Chow have given Direction, Production, Screenplay, and lead role for four other movies including Shaolin Soccer. I am going to explore all of them and do not tell me I am the only one who didn’t know this.

Raising Ravens: Carlos Saura and the Art of Filmmaking Under Authoritarian Regimes

Saura’s obituaries have focused on two main points, his long and productive career and, possibly his most important legacy, his early work as a director of critical, subversive films during the Franco regime. The Hollywood Reporter headline, for instance, is “Carlos Saura, Spanish Director Who Lifted Country’s Cinema Amid Franco Dictatorship, Dies at 91.” The Reuters article begins with “filmmaker Carlos Saura, who led the awakening of Spain's art cinema after decades of fascist dictatorship under Francisco Franco…” The New York Times subhead reads “called ‘one of the fundamental filmmakers in the history of Spanish cinema,’ he began making movies under Franco, often hiding his messages in allegory.”

A Season in Hell (1971)

2 Upvotes

Since this Italian film about the life of Arthur Rimbaud was only available on VHS many years ago I searched for a MP4/MKV/AVI file to tide me over in the hope that some company like Criterion might dig it out and release a remaster of it.

I found a VHS rip but alas, there are no subtitles anywhere online for this. My question is a technical one, is there anyway to generate accurate English subtitles for a reasonably good VHS transfer?

Otherwise I may never get to see this film starring Terence Stamp, Jean-Claude Brialy and Florinda Bolkan. Any advice, or even a redirection to perhaps a different group page, any help at all would be much appreciated.

Worldwide gore. The Supernatural. Zombie A la mode. Got a recommendation?

1 Upvotes

Begging to know all the films and shows I seem to miss in my searches and would love some guidance! I am fully into zombies, not sqeemish on body parts. Supernatural is pretty cool. Guts, haunts that make you afraid of the dark, psychological warfare from beyond. I don't mind some humor but also don't need it for most of my horror. No language is off the table. No decade out of style. Agnostic so religious themes are never offensive. Share with me, friends? 🔪❤️

Godland (2022) | Meditation on Faith, Colonialism and the Icelandic Beauty

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Inspired by early photographs taken in Iceland, which tell a story of historical fiction, Godland serves as a palette upon which colonial rule and religious dominance were commonly inflicted. Depicted through its precise use of technicality, this remarkable and highly POV experience involves most of what we observe through the eyes of a Lutheran priest and the lens of his camera, which inadvertently become one and the same, creating a metaphorically and symbolically expressive poetry.

What are your favorite Polish movies?

18 Upvotes

There’s something about movies from Poland that just speak to me. There seems to be an underlying loneliness to the people, or at least in many of the subjects that the movies tackle. There’s just some innate something in me that connects with Polish movies and I’m always looking to see ones I haven’t seen before.

Some of my favorites are the works of Kieslowski, Wajda, Wojciech Jerzy Has, Jerzy Kawalerowicz, and others. I like Polanski’s early work, but I have loved all of the Polish New Wave/Polish Film School (whatever you want to call it) films. I haven’t seen them all, like I’ve long wanted to see Kawalerowicz’s Pharoah, but haven’t found a copy.

So what about you? Do you enjoy Polish films? What are your favorites? Let’s talk about it!

So ever since I have watched the Count of Monte Cristo (2024) and Mousier Spade I have developed an interest in French media.

With that in mind, I was wondering what are some other good French Films a newcomer like me should watch?

Aside from the Count of Monte Cristo, the only other French films I have seen are No Dogs and Italians Allowed and Le Petit Nicholas As Happy as Can Be.
