After Michael Gambon's passing I've been rewatching Prisoner of Azkaban (mostly with the sound off), and Michael Seresin's camera work and interpretation of Alfonso Cuarón's vision always amazes me. There is so much movement, so much nuanced work that isolates Harry even when he's in a crowded room. Beautiful.

Elevator To The Gallows (1958) score was composed and performed by Miles Davis in a one session recording while he watched a screening of the film. He took notes while watching the rough cut and then invited 4 fellow musicians without preparation to record it in one go. Genius.

A 14 ear old Jean-Pierre Léaud auditioned for François Truffaut's The 400 Blows after reading an ad in the newspaper. “I was as scared as the rest, but there are two kinds of fear. One closes you up, the other makes you give, almost with exuberance. Truffaut was as shy as I was but his shyness is more enclosed. I’m shy aggressively.”

The Shining (1980) is a cinematic maze. Wendy comments that you'd need to leave bread crumbs in order to exit The Overlook. The freezer door that Hallorann opens is not the one he closes. The kettles and plates on the table next to the door end up opposite the door they exit.

Before going to sleep I sometimes like to rewatch this clip. Max Von Sydow relates the time he and Ingmar Bergman debated the existence of an after life while filming The Seventh Seal. It's one of the most touching remembrances of a fellow artist I know.

All Marty does is turn his mother on and say, 'Action.' That's it. And then anything goes between all of them. He would never direct her. He would just put her in the scene. He knew she was the perfect thing to make Bob and Joe improvise together. ~ Thelma Schoonmaker Goodfellas

Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre pays homage to Murnau's film that was thought destroyed via court order due to it's copyright infringement of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Nearly half of the 12,000 rats brought in for the film died and Herzog was accused of animal cruelty.

Vilmos Zsigmond literally "kept the camera moving" throughout Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye. Vilmos dollied back and forth along tracks in order to bring an air of improvisation and immersion by constantly changing the orientation of the viewer to the actors and objects in the film.

Terrence Malick's Badlands opens with the off handed toned: "My Mother died of pneumonia when I was just a kid. My Father kept their wedding cake in the freezer for ten whole years. After the funeral he gave it to the yard man." By the time this sequence of images processes through our visual cortex- a mix of beauty and unfathomed cruelty- we might miss that Sissy Spacek's Holly is briefly framed above a Frigidaire advertisement at the piano school where her father hopes to preserve her innocence. She is the cake in a world that seems fast to discard the symbols and metaphors that should hold meaning in our lives. She is quickly gathered up by Martin Sheen's Kit- a yard man...
