Indeed.

Goyokin is still my favorite though. Snowy landscapes = +10 style points, costumes are great too.
















Actually Goyokin is the perfect companion film to the Great Silence posted sooner.

These threads always start out hella boring, but there's been some really good stuff posted here lately.

kinda OT, but am I the only one who thought that 13 assasins was a huge pile of ****? I seriously can't get Miike. The first one and a half hours or film is really promising, like an old samurai film in the style of Kobayashi or Gosha, but then when the actual battle starts, the whole thing degenerates into this huge mess. There's no real sense of danger in any of the proceedings with the characters more concerned with striking cool poses during sword fights than actually staying alive. I'm all for some Miike weirdness (the flaming bulls were a fun touch), but I absolutely hated the last 30-40 minutes of the film. The death of the ridiculously evil warlord was a great scene tho, that was Miike that I liked.

Cypher is great btw. It looks really low budget, but it gets alot out of it.

This fall, the finnish film archive had a great retrospective of the works of the three Sergios. Leone, Corbucci and Sollima. I'd seen most of the films in the series previously, but to see stuff like Companeros and Il Mercenario on the big screen was a revelation. Thomas Milian and Tony Musante got some nice peasant/rebel style going on there, but the sartorial excellence in the films comes down to Franco Nero and Jack Palance.

^ Is that from Pale Rider ?


Eastwood is always on point in his westerns, especially the coats.

High Plains Drifter




Pale Rider




The Good the Bad and the Ugly






Unforgiven







And then there's the poncho naturally...

It is from Pale Rider. I watched again last night and that scene really stood out.

Kurosawa's Throne of Blood. My favorite film adaptation of Macbeth (with the best Lady Macbeth ever).

I loved that movie.

Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame








Really liked the design of this film. So much attention to detail in things like outfits, architecture etc. As a film it's nothing profound, but is good fun.​

I liked some of Clive Owen's fits in Duplicity - sucker for a rumpled fawn linen suit.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Fantastic book, fantastic movie.



Best stills I could find, but they don't even do the style justice. Every single outfit in every single scene is brilliant.

Watched it a week ago. Amazing movie. Great wardrobe on all the characters, but for me, benedict cumberbatch had the best outfits, at least more appealing to a younger demographic. Oh, and Tom hardy wearing the hell out of a shearling jacket much like in The Dark Knight Rises, though not as big (the jacket and himself).
