A scene from Bruno Dumont's Twentynine Palms...

[mortimer1976]

There's nothing at all special about this scene.

[missingt00th]

@mortimer1976 Do you mean to say that there's nothing at all special about this scene for a moron like you? Then it would make sense, because, I'm sorry, but Dumont is a beautifully provocative filmmaker and everything he does is special. Take you head out of your ass.

[mortimer1976]

@missingt00th I suppose you sleep with him, don't you?

[missingt00th]

@mortimer1976 Yeah, good one. Real witty. Now crawl back into your cave and resume watching the last Transformers flick.

[opinionrated]

This films is the ugliest way to waste almost two hours of your time. It's a complete nonsense.

[SmogHouseTradingCo]

@opinionrated Thank you for warning me, I won't be stepping into that beartrap

[joel474]

while watching this scene all i cud think of was how much money i would save on car insurance by switching to guyco...that and sex

[papharris]

i grew up in twentnine palms and wow i dont like this film at all

[sharpbw3]

Great place to film ,I couldn't stand that movie total crap..and I got it from a public libary.

[gator360guy]

i live in this town i think this movie was total SHIT to make my town look like it was FING huanted but its not its a really nice small town FUCK U THE DIRECTOR OF THIS MOVIE

[alexiscullen1902]

@gator360guy lol i live here 2

[borowczyk76]

I love Dumont, but this is hardly his best work. Some interesting moments, but the director works best with non professionals. La Vie De Jesus is still his best work in my opinion.

[Wherestheapache]

i'm a real cinema fan, but this movie realy sucks.

dumont fails when he tries to copy great masters like bela tarr or tarkovsky e proves to be a childish wanabe crazy motherfucker indepentent and strong guy by giving us the end of the movie like he is

the great ectsasy of robert charmichael is equal to this sheet

[dbsk06]

where can i watch this...?

[jackassbitter]

I saw this film at a screening in New York and it was booed

[flexicon1996]

good

[jakaput]

@jackassbitter well what can you expect from people who grew up on mtv?

[ryankent1984]

However admirable your intentions were here to highlight Twentynine Palms as a film of artistic quality, I don't think this scene works out of context (probably why you are getting hostility by some users). I'm going to have to see the whole film to understand what you mean. I've seen L'humanite, also by Dumont, which was amazing. I have intentions of seeing this and The Life of Jesus very soon indeed,

[gboon11]

where are you downloading it?

[F1LTHYz]

haha i live here DUECE NINE!!!

[pacior92]

what is this movie about all a i see is sitting in pool

i don't understand :|

[LickMyCuntMoFo]

DUMBASS American.

[daveddu]

CHE FILM DI MERDA!!

[isaacguy11]

what the fuck was that

[kevypaul10]

if this is the most amazing scene in the movie than this movie most fucking suck. the fact that nothing is happening doesn't make it "original" or "artistic". people who think this is brilliant cinema probably also think that every unsigned band in the world are musical geniuses and that artists who die are automatically brilliant and should be considered legends. sometimes there's a reason that something has never been done before. like because its retarded.

[FrankBooth99]

movie doen'st suck. and like they say, God is in the detials. notice the experimental horror techniques found if you compare david's actions in this scene to that of shark. if you get ahold of the rest, look at the similarites drawn between the facial expresssion in katerina's face when she orgasms as when she feels the pain of arguing with david. note the car constantly surrounding them when they argue in the parking lot. this film is a masterpiece. and by the way, bruno dumont is alive.

[kevypaul10]

experimental horror techniques? its a fucking POV shot get over yourself. you could find that in the shittiest movies in the world. there is nothing "amazing" about this scene. and even if the movie doesnt suck (which im sure it does) i highly doubt that this film is a "masterpiece"

[FrankBooth99]

yeah well no shit if you haven't seen it then out of context all that is done experemental horror-wise will seem ridiculous. but considering the way the film is structured, and all the techniques constantly used by dumont, trust me; there's a lot more to this than just POV.

just watch it dude. it's like calling the "luke, i am your father" scene in star wars stupid. you have to watch it to understand its significance.

[strappinggermanlad]

beautifully said, couldn't agree more

[pinapplemangobananna]

THIS IS BS

[phcool44]

what kind of movie is this

[vaskater07]

What's so cool about this? All he's doing is swimming.

[mondiablue]

That's a great pool to swim in.

[herrkami]

surrealistic????

[amandarenko]

film magnifique !

[bnkrmike24]

is this supposed to be an "imaginary" surreal scene?

[giantsize157]

where is this filmed?

[AMPFEAST]

it aint surreal at all. maybe just a bit unreal. but still a great film.

[BJORKAHOLIC]

he fuckin nails her in that pool

[nudeLschn]

are you stupid??XD

[tootiefruttie259]

noo.............in the movie hes gayyyyyyy

[brokenbeauty321]

how is this shit surreal????

[bapyou]

Has this film been shown in America? I've never heard of it. Just saw Dumont's <i>Flandres</i> tonight at a theater in L.A.

[dodder123]

Yes. Go rent it - Dumont's films are exceptional. I passed by the Nuart today and seems liks it's playing there.

[bapyou]

Thank you. I found a lot of links about <i>Twentynine Palms</i> after I posted this question. I should have searched around for info before I posted! I've already seen <i>Flandres</i> at the Nuart. I went to see it after reading a description in the Weekly. Emotionally powerful film. Some of it seemed to be questionable and illogical, but still powerful. Thanks for the reply.

[locksleyfilms]

are you fucking kidding me? that movie was the biggest piece of shit I have ever seen.

[jshimmy666]

locksleyfilms, stick to Michael Bay, Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers movies... One day when you're in high school or beyond, you'll understand non-narrative films.

[vicomtepicabia]

This comment is pure pretension and snobbishness. He assumes everyone who doesn't like a boring, vague "art film" must be a Michael Bay fan. But those are not the only options. There are good movies that are also enjoyable. Lawrence of Arabia, The Graduate, The Sand Pebbles, Casino, Unforgiven, for example. No one need be ashamed of disliking these dreary, so-called "art films" which seek to minimize enjoyment. Long, stationary shots where nothing happens don't prove it's "quality cinema."

[crownofthevalley]

@jshimmy666

Seriously. We watched Bruno Dumont's films in grade 9 French.

[Neonman78]

@jshimmy666 Worst comment on the internet.
