The Devil’s Ball (1933) — A French stop-motion animated short film, also known as The Mascot, directed by Władysław Starewicz and Irene Starewicz. A stuffed toy dog has just been sewn together when it overhears a young child asking for an orange. The child’s mother explains that they cannot afford one. Soon after, the dog is packed into a box with other toys to be sold, but ends up on the streets. Determined to bring an orange home to the child, the little dog takes one from a roadside stand. However, before it can return, it must face a series of strange, surreal, and frightening adventures. Personally, this feels more like a Christmas story than a Halloween one. With its animated toys, touching premise, and curious little adventure centered around an orange, it’s something I’d love to revisit. I’ll probably share more clips from the film over the coming months. #thedevilsball #stopmotion #stopmotionanimation #classicanimation #vintagecinema

The “In Dreams” scene in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet (1986) is one of cinema’s most unforgettable sequences. Lynch was deeply inspired by Roy Orbison’s 1963 song “In Dreams,” building the scene around the haunting contrast between Orbison’s tender vocals and the disturbing world of the film. Orbison reportedly didn’t know how Lynch had used the song until he saw the film in a theater. His initial reaction was negative, but the sequence eventually became one of the most iconic uses of a popular song in American cinema. The collaboration continued in 1987, when Orbison recorded a new “In Dreams” music video directed by Lynch and featuring imagery from Blue Velvet. Some songs are heard. Others become part of the film forever. #bluevelvet #davidlynch #isabellarossellini #lynch #cinephile
