because im very stupid and would also like to have something to talk about with to my uncle, i watched the grand tour. its very bad! the jeremy clarkson man spent 100,000 pounds on a replica US gunboat to drive down the mekong like a fuckhead. theres a whole bit on the heroism of the invaders and what it mustve been like for them, then he gets back in the boat made to look like an army boat. amazing.

the only kind of interesting bit was seeing how much tonle sap has shrunk cos of three gorges but even thats ruined by the need for heavily scripted hilarious disasters for these visibly decaying alcoholics to get up to. do not watch unless you need to talk to my uncle collie

its also quite shocking when put next to the japanese new wave movies that would come out a decade later, where theres a crude rape scene in almost every movie. a scene that stuck in mind was in wakamatsu's serial rapist, where a workshop laborer rapes a woman who was painting an industrial area. after hearing her say something along of 'ah! it's beautiful!' he goes ballistic and rapes her for even saying a place where capitalist exploitation is at its highest could be considered beautiful.



stop me if im going too far here, but that is kind of messed up.

but i dont want to focus on that exclusively. kenji mizoguchi is really interesting, id like to see this movie based on your description and it sounds like he delivered a reasonably sincere and unvarnished portrait of what has been a captive existence for many women. the themes resonate strongly with the only movie of his that ive seen, women of the night, which is a didactic and moralizing but i would argue empathetic and human portrayal of the lives of prostituted women in japan. and honestly, i prefer the didactic and moralizing melodrama stuff to "ooh, guys, look at me, im being transgressive, ooh look how transgressive im being guys, im a japanese new wave cinema guy trivializing labor struggles as rape scenes, im alex jodorowsky saying i raped an actress while filming el topo", and i prefer the dour old-socialist "prostitution is a capitalist evil" tendency to... idk... people creating and inhabiting a fantasy universe where being a prostitute is really awesome and tame and wildly beloved by its many ultra-willing participants.

if you like kenji mizoguchi, do you like other japanese movies of the era?

I havn't seen any Kenji Mizoguchi, but I'm a big fan of Mikio Naruse's melodramas.

all kidding aside it's so so fantastic, I couldn't recommend it highly enough. I think I enjoy it more than the original even.

I've never seen any John Waters, shamefully; got any recommendations of where to start?

pink flamingos is the essential one but it's honestly pretty rough to watch because it's so disjointed and poorly made so i don't know that it's a great starting point unless you are in the mood to just let it wash over you. if the extremely DIY quality of the early stuff puts you off a bit then polyester is probably a better place to start and frankly it's a better film even if it's not as iconic as the 70s stuff. for a personal favourite from the later mainstream works i'd recommend serial mom, i haven't watched it in years but i remember it always being a really great time

damn I was also gonna recommend Serial Mom, it isn't his best film but it's light and easy fun without diluting the distinctive vibe of vicious contempt for straightlaced americana with that little candy stripe of compassion for the marginalized

it doesn't have Divine in it though...

if you are gonna take the plunge and go straight for Pink Flamingos, the documentary Divine Trash puts a lot of what was going on into context and I enjoyed it a lot. makes for a good chaser
