Movie #62 of 2024: Ad Astra

Brad Pitt in space! It's a jumbled narrative that doesn't make a whole lot of sense but Hoyte van Hoytema got to play around with Camtec Astra Master Prime lenses so that's cool for him.

SUBLIME CINEMA #682 - CATCH ME DADDY

Robbie Ryan excelled at shooting these sorts of films before he went full tilt with Yorgos Lanthimos on the Favourite and Poor Things. His aesthetic here reminds me of his work with Andrea Arnold on Fish Tank or American Honey - a loose, dreamy quality in a naturalistic film that succeeds largely because of how well it was photographed.

Shot on 2 perf 35mm Techniscope, this format choice was an unusual one one, likely because the stock was cheap to come by. For a cinematic, striking look this format can be a good choice for filmmakers on a budget.

The Slave (movies, movie posters 1969)

aka Scacco Alla Regina (Check to The Queen)

"is based on the novel The Slave by Renato Ghiotto"

"Margaret Mevin is an arrogant famous actress, accustomed to being served and revered by the people whom she surrounds herself. Silvia comes to her service as a lady companion, but her submissive role soon acquires masochistic traits and homosexual shades."

"Silvia (Haydee Politoff) is young, beautiful and rich. She has everything -except the bondage and humiliation she craves to fulfil her erotic yearnings. Margaret (Rosanna Schiaffino) is a legendary movie star who loves to wade thigh high in 10,000 lira bank notes - and who is only too happy to give Silvia what she wants. In a strange, secluded house in Rome, the two women create a bizarre private world where Silvia's fantasies become real, as Margaret turns her into a slave, a plaything of flesh, subject to the whims of an all powerful owner who can use her in any way she desires. Pasquale Festa Campanile (Hitch-Hike) directs a masterpiece of decadence, packed with sumptuous and shocking images. A brand new HD transfer from the original Techniscope negative. From the director of The Libertine and When Women Had Tails. Based on a scandalous European novel in the tradition of Story of O and The Image."

**JUST ANNOUNCED** Tickets for Fistful of Dollars are selling very well for its screening in April.. Sooo we’re continuing the saga;) Join us SUNDAY, JUNE 6th: Sergio Leone's FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE (on original 35mm). They were tales of dusty streets, with glints and squints as cold as the steel that started and ended many an argument. Their heroes may have had no names, but their Techniscope tales branded themselves in our memories, once upon a time when melee maestros like Leone and Corbucci triggered a whole new style in adventure, weaving tales of anti-heroes, villains, and bloody revenge. They took the building blocks of American westerns, adding Italian style and subversion under the Spanish skies that substituted for the American west, filling the eyes with striking imagery and the ears with unforgettable themes. The Mahoning Drive-In Theater invites you to kick off your spurs and don your ponchos under the stars for Spaghetti Sundays, where we’ll unspool these quick-draw classics on 35mm, filling the giant Cinemascope screen once again with those vivid vistas and larger-than-life pistoleers. Be sure to bring the whole posse out for Spaghetti Sundays, to ensure they keep chugging along, like a hijacked train full of gold! Gates Open at 6p. Showtime at 8p. General Ticket: $8 (per person) General+Overnight: $16 (per person) *Fistful screens April 25th* Complete details at MahoningDIT.com TICKETS ON SALE NOW! 🎟 (Link In BIO)🎟 #cinema #classicfilm #classic #drivein #driveinmovie #doublefeature #driveinmovies #driveintheater #film #driveinmovies #filmpreservation #driveinmovietheater #lehighton #movies #movieposter #movietheater #nostalgia #phillyfilm #retro #atthedrivein #mahoningdit #35mm #mahoningdriveintheater #mahoningdrivein #spaghettiwestern #clinteastwood (at The Mahoning Drive-In Theater) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNiATlnF3r3/?igshid=1f9e2c4f0aiyq

I am on my Mad Max bullshit; you have all been warned. 

Last night, I attended a stream done by @docholligay of Sergio Leon’s “For a Few Dollars More.” I had never seen any of these movies nor were they really in my consciousness beforehand, so it was really fascinating to be able to hear not just about the West, but also these movies in general (her commentary). As she talked about how you don’t need to see any of the other films to watch any of them and observed the characterization of The Man with No Name, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the Mythic!Max take and be, in general, reminded of Max Rockatansky. 

Of course the character is a pretty iconic one, and it only stands to reason that we will see similar like him as the media that comes before--whether consciously or not--will effect that which comes after. But still, I was curious if George Miller might have been pretty explicitly inspired by these movies. 

TURNS OUT HE WAS!

“When Miller and Kennedy decided on filming Mad Max in the anamorphic widescreen format, their creative touchstone was Sergio Leone’s Dollars trilogy and their successor, Once upon a Time in the West (all filmed in Techniscope, a cheaper alternative to CinemaScope). The pair told cinematographer David Eggby that shooting anamorphic would crucially enhance landscapes. Cars driving in packs would look especially potent. But filming in Panavision or Techniscope proved financially unviable and logistically prohibitive, so they opted to use a set of knackered but still beautiful Todd-AO 35mm lenses, which had been located at a Sydney rental house. Previously used on Sam Peckinpah’s The Getaway (1972), only one of them in fact worked.

While Max isn’t as laconic in the original as he’d become in later Mad Max films, there is also a distinct flavour of Leone’s antihero, The Man with No Name (played by Clint Eastwood), in the rogue cop’s overall genetic makeup.”

It actually does make me want to see the other Sergio Leon films with The Man with No Name, because I love the idea of Mythic!Max even if I can only watch one of the Mad Max films repeatedly (and never could get myself to watch the orginal). I love the concept of “heroes” trying to mind their own business and begrudgingly pulled into helping someone else find closure. I dunno; apparently it’s a trope I like! 

I’d love to hear from other Fury Roadies who are familiar with the other franchise if they have any thoughts. I’ve now only seen the one film, but there were a lot of beats that just had the spirit of the Mad Max films I watched for people who are me. 

Yes. I will make everything as much about MMFR as I can, shut up. =P 

An aside: One of my favorite tidbits of info that sparked my MMFR connection was the fact that the villain in this movie played another villain in another movie which of course immediately invoked Hugh Keayes-Barnes to mind as Immortan Joe/Toecutter

Edit: I forgot to add (unnecessarily but shush) that apparently (I don’t explicitly remember it) in Thunderdome when Max fights... in the Thunderdome, they announce him as The Man with No Name XD

Production began in 1974 under the direction of Kent Smith before being completed years later by Tom Huckabee (who went on to executive produce Paxton’s Frailty) and released in 1983.

Taking Tiger Mountain has been newly restored in 4K from its 35mm Techniscope negative. It features reversible artwork. Extras are listed below.

In a dystopian future, Billy Hampton (Bill Paxton, in his first on-screen role) is a World War III draft dodger who finds himself part of an experimental brainwashing program created by a group of radical feminists. After being released from the program, Billy heads to Wales for what he believes will be a sex-filled vacation. But, unbeknownst to him, Billy is really there to assassinate the Welsh Minister of Prostitution.
