We can agree to disagree but these scenes did not need full frontal.  We don’t have to see actors’ genitals on screen to get the story across. It doesn’t bring anything to the film.
 

The way my entire theater kept groaning and rolling their eyes in annoyance every time these explicit scenes played out (and I live in arguably the most progressive city in the States). Yorgos talked about he how sat down with Emma and told her “this is what Bella needs on film.” Is it though? Or is it that 
A) you just lack the ability in getting the point across in any other way and still be effective or B) you just want to see these actors in a certain way?

 

For example, the particular scene where we see the man take Bella to the wall, and we see Stone’s entire nude body and then she is told to bend over and we see literally mostly everything. What was the point? 

She is being taken advantage of and controlled by a man who she will outgrow later on.

 

I understand that these kind of scenes can make some people uncomfortable (that may be part of the point btw) but that still does not make them „Porn“.

 

Oh, there is nothing inherently wrong with porn, btw.

ANATOMY OF A FALL 

 

NOW SHOWING on my little town!?

[hausofdave]

wow the asian excellence jumped 

 

 

 

 

[Achilles.]

London Critics Winners:

Picture: Zone of Interest

Director: Zone of Interest

Screenplay: Anatomy of a Fall

British Film: All of Us Strangers

 

Actor: Andrew Scott

Actress: Emma Stone

Sup Actor: Charles Melton

Sup Actress: Da’Vine Joy Randolph

 

London’s usually pretty decent at indicating where BAFTA will go, so things look good for Stone, Randolph, and Triet in screenplay. 
 

I definitely would’ve contemplated a Zone of Interest upset at BAFTA if it made Picture, but it missed so… who knows where its support will manifest. Could Glazer topple Nolan? Will it win Adapted Screenplay and/or British Film over Poor Things and All of Us Strangers? British Film seems like AOUS’s best shot at winning something…

[MAXIMO]

The Zone of Interest was masterful, Glazer should be sweeping every BD in existence, but let Nolan get his flowers, he did a great job.

LFCC winners & BAFTA winners last 10 years

 

- Film and Actress: 7/10

- Screenwriter and Documentary: 6/10

- Supporting Actress: 5/10

- Director and Best Supporting Actor: 4/10

- British Film and Best Actor: 3/10

- Foreign-Language: 2/10

 

this year is a little different, since Scott and Melton were snubbed at BAFTA and can't repeat.

Also, Da'Vine has probably the biggest sweep we've ever seen in Best Supporting Actress: All 3 Trifecta + NBR + London

Soft porn was an exaggeration obviously, but it was for sure too much.

Actor: Andrew Scott

So glad Andrew won! He was outstanding in All of Us Strangers and I'm gutted he wasn't recognised for some of the more major awards.

I finally saw poor things and Anatomy of a fall on the big screen in the last week.

 

Sandra Hueller deserves to win, i found her even better than an amazing Emma Stone. 

Lily Gladstone is way under them. I hope talent will prevail on politics.

[vale9001]

Poor things has the same sex scenes in 150 minutes than 3 episodes of Game of thrones.

Why people are so annoying with sex only when It's cinema?

 

I really liked the movie for several reason even if I can agree with some criticism about a story of emancipation where everything seems to happen because of sexual liberation. But this Is the point view of the movie (and the politic role of the body is in every Lanthimos movie, as It was in the greek mythology he is really inspired from)  so it what It Is.

Do you have the same reaction to violence in film?

I have yet to see a comment that did not like Hüller's performance. The vitriol just escapes her. Anyone who has seen Anatomy is thinking she's deserving.

Lily Gladstone crushed it in this. Idk why people here didn't like her performance compared to the others this year

this scene alone is why she made it, because for the entire movie she's very subtle, just like Lee in Past Lives. if Scorsese had cut this scene she would've been snubbed which is a shame because she does fantastic work throughout the movie. we need more recognition for subtle acting.

 

this is also why Huller is gettin so much praise in Anatomy, she's very difficult to read which is the whole point of the movie. we're the jurors and we don't know whether to side with her or not. it's all in the nuance.
