In Reply to: What work qualifies as the most *aesthetic* film? posted by Guy on December 6, 2005 at 22:01:21:
...what is the most aesthetically satisfying film in all parameters?("Aesthetic" isn't an adjective, BTW. It's a noun.)
My favorite would be Jean Renois' Rules Of The Game, especially for the "portrayal of the human condition". Everything else about it - cinematography, music, staging etc. - is first rate, although it ain't in surround sound. It's the stunning writing, acting and direction that make this (possibly) my favorite film of all time.

...sometimes you wonder if any sane thought-out thought will get HEARD. Appreciate the recommendation: don't know a thing about the film (perhaps you can provide a summary). Is it in English (the director sounds French)?I believe "aesthetic" is an adjective: it describes (the same as with the word, "beautiful" which is a rough synonym and the same part of speech). You might be confusing this with "aesthetics" which is a discipline and is a noun (nouns being ideas).
Yes, I mean all parameters.
Thanks for your response.
Respect,
Guy
I did a post-graduate seminar in the "Revolt Into Style: The Modern Aesthetic" at the Art Institute of Chicago as part of my aesthetics/art history course work.
The use in which you quote - "the modern aesthetic" - would support your statement (clearly a noun). However, I think you'd agree that is an Atypical useage not found in standard prose or speech . . similar to the word, "aesthete".What did you think of the course you took, incidentally?
Respect,
Guy
