A lot of film critique industry is based upon fart-sniffing snobbery.

It’s like a game of one-upsmanship on how much “meaning” you can ~~invent~~ derive from dull, self-important drudgery and the more masochistic your movie-watching experience, the more “refined” you are.

Source: had to study media crit and industry a lot in school.

I can't remember the name of the film but there is one film released relatively recently that's just a series of photographs. Set to music.

It's literally slower than one frame per second.

Respectfully of course, that sounds quite literally like it's a really long slideshow? 🤔

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago
