My taste in films is much closer to yours than with music. You even like all the less crowdpleasing Coen films. :)

It's interesting to me Twin Peaks is being treated as a movie for critic purposes, even coming in 2nd in Sight & Sound. What's the criteria there? Also with things like Berlin Alexanderplatz, whereas the vast majority of TV shows are not placed in the same bucket. Is it just a question of who is doing the directing?

Hi Jirin, I remember seeing you also on the late (and much missed) mubi / the auteurs forum. :greetings-waveyellow:

Seeing TV series / mini-series / cinema series as "films" is an old practice actually. You mentioned Berlin Alexanderplatz. Also titles like Dekalog , Heimat, Les Vampires are omni-present in critics' best of all-time film polls.

Even with the Twin Peaks it didn't start now. Indeed, Sight & Sound had The Return as 2nd in their poll (it would have been 1st but many participating critics didn't think of it as eligible), Cahiers du Cinema had it too as their no.1 but they also had the original 1990 season among their end of decade ('90s) top 5 films !

Who does the directing is definitely a major factor. Most of the TV series have their episodes directed by several people and scripted by even more. But it takes one auteur's directing / screenwriting / vision to qualify as a film split in several episodes.

Also, can you take out / not see one episode without severely damaging the understanding of the whole ? It the answer is no, than your thing can be seen as a film in "n" parts.

What ultimately matters is the art, the essence. That's what makes a film, not the form. The shape you give it is secondary and should be modelled for optimal effect. A feature film of 18 hours or a serial with 18 hour-long episodes ? When I saw Satantango I broke it in 4 parts because 7.5 hours of powerful cinema would have crushed me.

Those were the days, haven't found another really good film discussion board since.

I agree that there's not necessarily a need for distinction between films and television, but people do tend to split them into buckets. And only a handful of TV shows get placed in the 'film bucket', and mostly limited series that are directed by a noted film director.

But if Twin Peaks is in the movie bucket, why not something like Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad? You can say, it was conceived with the whole story arc in mind whereas TV shows are started with no idea how they will end, but then why not a closed miniseries with singular creative direction like The Night Of, or each season of True Detective or Fargo?

Why are two closely related disciplines of television and film always perceived as having a rock wall in between them, with only a few very specific exceptions?

I haven't played a video game in ages. It would be too much for my already very limited spare time. But video game is an art form after all and without the time restrictions I would consider it.

Are graphic novels eligible for literature?

I've kind of been doing my own version of this and I do count graphic novels.
