Have you seen Black Narcissus, 1947?” Eddie, who was enrolled in the graduate film program at SC, let out a scream of recognition. He’s beenContinuar lendo “Black Narcissus by Thomas Pynchon”

Centenário de Erwin Hillier
There are so many things in nature that are fascinating. When we used to go out to select locations I would spend hours by myself… I used to find out the time when everything looked most fascinating, when it has character and style, rather than shoot in a flat light. Hillier photographed I Know WhereContinuar lendo “Centenário de Erwin Hillier”
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 toContinuar lendo “Lean – Powell”
Tudo que é bom vem aos pares: Livesey & Walbrook
This brings us to Clive’s duel with Theo in Berlin, 1902, where an unreal attention to the artifices of honourable action is a sublimation of the real, the visceral, and potentially the homoerotic. The excessive observance of detail before and during the duel marks both the period and the officer class as one fatally disassociatedContinuar lendo “Tudo que é bom vem aos pares: Livesey & Walbrook”

24 Frames: Orlando (Sally Potter, 1992)
In Potter’s Orlando the maze opens onto a heath and Orlando runs in Cathy Earnshaw fashion through the hugely exaggerated dry ice of Gothic and melodrama costume films. Similarly Woolf continues to parody Orlando’s absurd belief in a union with nature: ‘Then, some strange ecstasy came over her. Some wild notion she had of followingContinuar lendo “24 Frames: Orlando (Sally Potter, 1992)”

24 Frames: A Marca da Pantera (Cat People, Paul Schrader, 1982)
Like the strangely sympathetic villain of Cat People, Irena, Sister Ruth’s passion for a man and her hatred for her romantic rival animalizes her. She assumes a feline’s nocturnal wandering habits and silent method of stalking prey. The camera treats her like a cat, emphasizing her eyes in tight close-ups. The most notable of theseContinuar lendo “24 Frames: A Marca da Pantera (Cat People, Paul Schrader, 1982)”

Wohlbrück não pode mesmo ficar longe dessas desgraças?
Sir Patrick “Paddy” Leigh Fermor (1915 – 2011)
Did ye not hear it? – No; ’twas but the wind, Or the car rattling o’er the stony street; On with the dance! let joy be unconfined; No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet. But hark! – that heavy sound breaks in once more, AsContinuar lendo “Sir Patrick “Paddy” Leigh Fermor (1915 – 2011)”

Travelling (Auf Reisen, Emeric Pressburger)
At that time a village stood on the site of this town, the mail coach was running instead of the fast train and my grandfather was travelling instead of me. A young lady and an old man were sitting opposite him. The man was snoring, drawing deep, heavy breaths. A signet ring glittered on oneContinuar lendo “Travelling (Auf Reisen, Emeric Pressburger)”
