Tudo que é bom vem aos pares: Mason & Ryan

Essa é uma escolha que estou impossibilitada de fazer. Mentira, no final sempre escolho o Mason, até contra Cary Grant. Mason’s atypicality rendered him inappropriate for roles that required ‘ordinariness’. John Ellis commented on the tensions between Mason’s matinee idol status and his role in his second American film, Caught (1949). The director, Max Ophuls,

Lean – Powell

Lean quickly mastered the craft of editing sound movies and continued to assist other directors in cutting talkies. He developed his own approach to assembling the footage for a sound picture, virtually ignoring the sound track, and cutting the film primarily by focusing on the images. Michael Powell, who would one day commission Lean to

O cara da casa dos fundos…

24 Frames: Amargo Triunfo (Bitter Victory, Nicholas Ray, 1957)

I kill the living and save the dead. A wonderful and terribly underrated war movie; what is striking now (apart from how it anticipated, in various respects, both Lean’s Lawrence of Arabia and Minghella’s The English Patient) is the sheer, unflinching intensity of some of the scenes: Leith stabbing the Nazi guard, his mercy-killing of

Persephone

I have observed time and again an idea prevalent in my field, depth psychology: myths choose us, not the other way around. Whether the myth first appears in a dream, through active imagination, or shows up in our writing, painting, choreography or sculpture; whether it presents itself in the guise of a contemporary novel, film,

1- Steve McQueenTudo bem que ele é um negão de kilt e vai colocar o Fassbender pra trepar por todo o seu próximo filme (compensando o estrago que fez no corpo perfeito dele em Hunger), mas…Steve Fucking McQueen? Sério? 2- Peter CookEste é um nome comum, tem até um politíco australiano com um nome digno

Memory for Forgetfulness – August, Beirut, 1982

I want the aroma of coffee. I want nothing more than the aroma of coffee. And I want nothing more from the passing days than the aroma of coffee. The aroma of coffee so I can hold myself together, stand on my feet, and be transformed from something that crawls, into a human being. The

Nude… si Muore (Antonio Margheriti, 1968)

Não, infelizmente este título glorioso não é verídico, o mais próximo dos títulos alternativos que encontrei foi The Young, the Evil & the Savage. Ele foi alterado deste poster. Não sei se este é o gênio que fez isso, mas é bem melhor que o original.

Feliz Paixão – Versão Urbain Grandier

24 Frames: Sangue Ardente (Hot Blood, Nicholas Ray, 1956)

If the cinema no longer existed, Nicholas Ray alone gives the impression of being capable of reinventing it, and what is more, of wanting to. While it is easy to imagine John Ford as an admiral, Robert Aldrich on Wall Street, Anthony Mann on the trail of Belliou la Fumee or Raoul Walsh as a

Open wide my dungeon dwell, Bring the daylight to my cell, Black-eyed maiden of my fancy, Black-maned steed to jump the fence!
