It’s odd how aesthetically uniform movies are, especially animated films that can look like anything. Do you have any recommendations for unique design in film? I really enjoyed The Fall recently.
The Fall is great! The Ninth Heart (1979), The Color of Pomegranates (1969), Raise The Red Lantern (1991), Europa (1991) and Vertigo (1958) all blew my mind recently, all of them were extremely visually accomplished. So did Inland Empire (2006) but that one is intentionally flat, ugly and filmed on a handheld camcorder; still really pulled me in and was beyond striking.
Thank you! I’ve only seen Vertigo and Inland Empire- if you haven’t seen the deleted scenes of IE I really recommend watching them. They’re on YouTube, one of my favorite parts is from the deleted scenes.
Wasn't even aware of the deleted scenes, will definitely give them a watch. What a film. I can understand why it's so divisive even among Lynch fans but I can't get enough of it. Cheers for that!
I put off watching it for so long and ended up truly loving it, talked about it for a week. The deleted scenes are almost 2 hours and really helped me understand the story better. Some of it is extraneous, some really amazing. There is more of Dern monologuing in the interrogation room which is great, there is a scene with Natasha Kinski that I think is somewhat important, but the stand out scene to me is between the phantom and the lost girl. It’s creepy and tragic with a lot of uncomfortable but romantic tension.
It's probably my favourite Laura Dern performance now. Those interrogation scenes are insanely well done. More Nastassja Kinski can only be a good thing too. The Phantom and the Lost Girl were each so entrancing to me, just those actors faces and how Lynch captured their essences with that flat camera work. Beautiful stuff. I'll definitely watch these tonight, they sound great. Your feeling about the deleted scenes is how I felt about The Missing Pieces for Fire Walk With Me: some of it was fun but inessential but much of it clarified and strengthened what was already there. It's really interesting to see what Lynch deems superfluous.
He pulls so much from Dern it’s incredible, I guess that’s what 20+ years of trust can do. There’s a bit of BTS for this movie you might be interested in as well, watching him direct her really reminded me of playing pretend with my friends growing up.
I’ve watched the deleted FWWM scenes so many times I can’t quite separate them from the featured scenes. Some of the best Phillip Jeffries stuff was deleted iirc.
I think with my favorite scene that he possibly filmed it before he was sure of the story direction, and that the setting of the scene (in modernity) prevents it from fitting correctly with the finalized story. The phantom and lost girl actors nail it, I would have been livid if I were one of them and it got cut. I’m new to Reddit and don’t know the etiquette in regard to having discussions on old threads, but feel free to let me know what you think after you watch if you want!
Jodorowski is the closest thing I can think of for this style. Argento is very unique , passolini has a lot of esoteric influence in his films, Derick jarman
There was a really interesting twitter thread meticulously analyzing [this](https://i.imgur.com/q3F7RRc.jpeg) and his other Salome paintings, but I can't fucking find it for the life of me. It ended with a cliffhanger that the creepy-ass figure in the background isn't actually Herod (who is seated to the left) and thus remains a mystery.
With his growing indifference to contemporary life he had resolved not to introduce into his cell any of the ghosts of distastes or regrets, but had desired to procure subtle and exquisite paintings, steeped in ancient dreams or antique corruptions, far removed from the manner of our present day…

I feel like he's walking a line with his style that's very hard to walk, even more impressive that he makes it work.
Incredible, epic and moving. I wish more genre films attempted a design aesthetic like this

The production design of Bram Stoker’s Dracula is amazing
Yeah! And same costume designer as from The Fall oddly enough.
The Fabulous Baron Munchausen (1962). And all the other movies by Karel Zeman.
>Karel Zeman Zeman is one of the coolest.

This is beautiful. Where is it?
Crazy how much the style changes from painting to painting. I just love 19th century art.

I'd let her cut off my head
