To me it seems like all of modern streaming media (what's on Netflix, HBO, ...) basically collapsed to be this amorphous blob that mostly hits the same stylistic and emotional notes, regardless of genre. I might be getting old/jaded.
It might also be because I used to have better access to arthouse cinemas that played more experimental, independent titles, while now I'm at the mercy of whatever is available on streaming services. So I end up just supplementing that by watching weird stuff on YouTube, which is somewhat suboptimal.
- teraku 6y agoI have not experienced the "old age" of arthouses. But from talks to older people in the "scene" it's become a lot of mishmash and the same old story over and over that it's really rare to be intrigued by it. Just saying that, because there still are some art houses here (although not sure if that's still the case post-corona), but most of their films don't intrigue me. Sometimes they do, and I'm always a bit bummed to see that the venues are half-empty when I go.
