I haven't seen many of Villeneuve's movies, but I really like everything so far. When thinking about Prisoners after a few days, there was a particular scene that somehow kept returning to my memory: When Gyllenhal's character is introduced, sitting alone in Chinese restaurant, not-flirting with the waitress. For some reason this scene struck me as "different".<br />
<br />
That gave me the idea to examine all the first appearances of the characters in the movie. (<b>SPOILERS</b>)<br />
<br />

<br />
KELLER DOVER (Hugh Jackman) - we don't actually see him, we start with a very static shot into the forest. The man is looking into the forest, it is his POV (which we find out quickly). But we can <i>hear</i> him praying, while a deer walks into the frame. When the camera pulls back, a rifle points at the animal. And just after "Amen", a shot is fired. Now, here's a little surprise: Keller, who was doing the praying has his son RALPH (Dylan Minette) shooting the rifle. It's a father-son-hunting-bonding trope. (Jagten has an interesting variation on the subject). While they're driving home, we learn about Keller's job and status, just by looking at the back of his car.<br />
<br />

<br />
RALPH doesn't get to say much. It's hard to tell if he's looking up or is afraid of his father. He doesn't look rebellious.<br />

<br />
ALEX JONES(Paul Dano) is completely off-screen when he appears the first time. There's a POV shot, but we don't know who it is. Actually, we relate to him through the menacing appearance of the van - although the country tune is not the run-of-the-mill "looming danger" track, the lyrics reference religion.<br />
<br />

<br />
GRACE DOVER (Maria Bello) and her daughter ANNA (Erin Gerasimovich) are introduced with an out-of-focus shot through the windshield, suggesting death or religion. Also, quite remarkable - it's the POV from an invisible driver inside the car - it might want to show that Anna likes to get into cars. Also, the mother 'forgets the cake' and has to call on the others to 'wait for her' - she's not running the show.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
NANCY BIRCH (Viola Davis) opens the door to the Dovers arriving, although the first brief shot we see her from the back, walking towards the front door. It shows a friendly middle-class home with all the gadgets that go with that. Her husband FRANKLIN (Terrence Howard) merrily greets the children in the living room, holding a glass of white wine with the TV showing a football game. It doesn't get more middle class than this. I remember that when I watched this, I was wondering if there might be a theme about racial discrimination coming up somewhere. It doesn't - I got caught in my own film clichés. ELISA (Zoe Saul), the elder daughter is only quickly introduced (from the back), coming into the living room, just as briefly as her sister, Joy (from the back).<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8cP78EvUrLY/VvOSltSltyI/AAAAAAAAB8A/wl0Gv7w5Bhkx_dMTPkOsJU8v_GhG5rUDg/s1600/vlcsnap-2016-03-24-07h34m21s633.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8cP78EvUrLY/VvOSltSltyI/AAAAAAAAB8A/wl0Gv7w5Bhkx_dMTPkOsJU8v_GhG5rUDg/s400/vlcsnap-2016-03-24-07h34m21s633.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
JOY BIRCH, the younger daughter, is clearly visible on-screen, when the two girls run walk down the street. The camera pulls back to reveal the van, like the rifle in the opening shot.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nwdfudHAFgk/VvOSvPzy2AI/AAAAAAAAB8M/KGINBmPxHWIIT254QPdnkHQ9y1DZp77aQ/s1600/vlcsnap-2016-03-24-07h47m51s836.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nwdfudHAFgk/VvOSvPzy2AI/AAAAAAAAB8M/KGINBmPxHWIIT254QPdnkHQ9y1DZp77aQ/s400/vlcsnap-2016-03-24-07h47m51s836.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
DET. LOKI (Jake Gyllenhal) sits in an empty Chinese restaurant, eating his dinner. Again, this character is introduced with dollying in from the back. When we reveal his face, he chats to the waitress about Chinese astrology. It looks like he's hitting on her, but he seems to be more interested in studying his napkin and getting the bill lowered. Even when the woman walks away he continues talking. This man is a weirdo. Still not quite sure, how this scene is to be interpreted inside the story, but it definitively stayed with me the longest. There seems to be a connection to religious motives - the prayer and the cross with the Dovers, and the Thanksgiving with the Birches, in contrast to Loki's name, his Freemason ring, and his casual interest in Chinese astrology.<br />
<br />

<br />
ALEX is re-introduced on-screen. Again this is a shot from inside the car. The framing, the sound and the outview have been seen before: He is looking at a forest, like Keller did in the opening. He is inside a car, looking out - like we saw Anna appear. The framing is exactly like the shot seconds before of Loki talking on his radio.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wKCJGBKEnoo/VvOS-wUYiwI/AAAAAAAAB8g/4x9B7leHhUsLA9t7hyeB8caJEps0sJpxg/s1600/vlcsnap-2016-03-24-07h58m44s612.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wKCJGBKEnoo/VvOS-wUYiwI/AAAAAAAAB8g/4x9B7leHhUsLA9t7hyeB8caJEps0sJpxg/s400/vlcsnap-2016-03-24-07h58m44s612.jpg" width="400" /> </a> </div>
<br />
HOLLY JONES (Melissa Leo) comes out the door, holding her dog in her arms, while Loki is looking at her cars. Her first reaction to his trespassing is mentioning her husband, who's dead. So she's a widow first, and definitively not the scared mother.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KAfjn-KLAMo/VvOTEnTvOFI/AAAAAAAAB8o/huZvlZDG9pMIdwJ0bLuXlBghp3mCEWf7Q/s1600/vlcsnap-2016-03-24-08h03m52s671.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KAfjn-KLAMo/VvOTEnTvOFI/AAAAAAAAB8o/huZvlZDG9pMIdwJ0bLuXlBghp3mCEWf7Q/s400/vlcsnap-2016-03-24-08h03m52s671.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
CAPT. MALLEY (Wayne Duvall) is glued behind his desk in front of a wall of diplomas. I don't think he ever gets out of that chair in all subsequent appearances.<br />
<br />
Up to Alex' second introduction I really liked the introduction of the characters, the Birch's are lumped up in one scene, whereas the Dover's are laid out in mother-daughter and father-son groups. Later, it was decided that we don't need Holly carefully introduced (she is a major character) - or maybe it just ended up on the cutting floor.<br />

After not having watched this in a long time I was amazed at how strange the 60's Bond comes across. For my taste, the Bonnery character is just a bit too plump verbally in his predatory attacks on just any woman he encounters. Many of the quips that must have been hilarious during the day come across as quite dumb now - even when looking at it as a period piece.... but who knows what the socially accepted standards were 1965 for the mating dance in England? Still it is an enjoyable movie - the villain is straightforward evil, the girls are beautiful, smart and opportunistic and the men are sex- and power-hungry (and quite stupid). The world of James Bond.<br />
<br />
The final battle scene under-water is still jaw-dropping to watch. Just to set up the scene the director had to solve a load of problems: Orientation and lighting issues, anonymous participants wearing facemasks and hand-to-hand as opposed to group fights. And no dialogue, no quips, just... bubbles.<br />
<br />
The battle scene including setup lasts well over ten minutes, which is an eternity in terms of film time. I was wondering how this could have been structured. I couldn't find the screenplay, albeit some rather amusing notes about it here: <a href="http://www.bbfc.co.uk/sites/default/files/attachments/thunderball-final.pdf" target="_blank">Notes about violence in the Bond script from 1965 -</a><br />
So, dissecting the battle into various sequences helped to understand the dramatic structure.<br />
<br />

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Approach (30s): The boat arrives and soldiers parachute into the sea trying to prevent the atom bomb to be delivered by the bad guys. There are some spectacular scenery shots showing the environment.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>Army Setup (30s): Now we dive into the water with the camera. For this sequence a sense of left-right is established and the good guys wear orange, while the baddies wear black diving suits. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>Artillery (15s): First the harpoons are fired from a distance. Some men are immediately killed. This is a classical field war fought by two armies marching towards each other.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>One on one (30s): The parties engage in man-to-man combat. Spectular group scenes here. The harpoons are used as rifles.</li>
<li>Bond enters (30s): After about a third of the battle scene, Bond plunges into the water from a helicopter and disappears into the water. He is easily discernible by a long orange plume coming out of his propelling unit. </li>
<li>Battle scenes (45s): As Bond approaches the battlefield, various on-to-one combats are shown. These are usually two or three edits for a single struggle between combatants.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<li>Trap inside boat (60s): A very long sequence of Bond luring three bad guys into an old ship and trapping them there, while he drops a grenade inbetween them. This is a humorous sequence and has no bearing on the battle whatsoever. It appears in the middle of the scene.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<li>Bond vs. Baddies (30s): He kills two or three others.</li>
<li>1vs1 Fights (15s): We focus back on the overall battlefield, showing rather gruesome one-on-one fights with knifes </li>
<li>Battle Scenes (45s): More general battle scenes. To be honest, I lost the orientation here a bit. It's a pure killing feast now. </li>
<li>Shark Attack (30s): Another small substory - a shark is attracted by the blood. Good and bad have to cooperate to shoot the creature and divert it. The wounded shark swims away. </li>
<li>Pursue Largo (20s): Largo feels that the battle is lost and tries to get away with two guys. Bond sees him and follows him.</li>
<li>Bond vs. Largo (30s): Finally the two get to fight each other directly. By pulling of Bond's goggles, Largo gets the advance he needs to get away.</li>
<li>Largo gets away (45s): Largo manages to transport the bomb into the boat. The doors are already shut, when Bond arrives there. Largo seems to have won the race, but Bond holds onto a rudder underwater as the boat drives off.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Viewed as a whole, the Battle scenes that don't fit into the story make up about 5 minutes of the ten. The story is intermittently weaved into the rest of the battle. As a remark I was surprised about how often the same reaction shot of Bond is used again and again. They must have been quite plagued in the editing room the extend the sequence.<br />

A former gunfighter
on his search for peace has to defend a family of farmers
from the gang trying to take their land. </div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The interesting part
of this movie is that the 'bad' guys have quite a strong motive for
acting their way. They see their hard-earned paradise endangered by
the growing influence from the outside modern world, symbolized by
such things as 'the new laws'.

In certain ways
their 'nation-building' is a doomed enterprise. The interests of the
locals are too different, their backgrounds too diverse as they could
form a united party to defend their little piece of heaven.<br />

Even our protagonist
is reluctant to pull the trigger. It is only when he adopts the moral
values of family life and is threatened – by him as a potential
lover for Marian - he starts to take some initiative.

I am reluctant to draw a conclusion about Stevens' (AB Guthrie, the
screenwriter) motives behind the story, but couldn't shake the feeling that the film hides a subversive message somewhere.</div>

The other very
impressive thing is the absolutely gorgeous photography by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005729" target="_blank">Loyal Griggs</a> who deservedly won the Oscar for it – the day
for night shots are beautiful and the colors of the landscapes are
beautifully rendered – even when shot in the studio. Jean Arthur
being photographed through a screen to make her look younger was a bit distracting, but it might be
a sign of the times.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Also the editing of
the film deserves a closer look. Many of the scenes are really long,
others are surprisingly short. The fights are always told through the
reaction of the viewers, mainly Joey's who witnesses all the fights
in the movie. His (not very appealing) reactions are edited into the
action constantly, sometimes to the point of annoyance. It's
interesting that so much emphasis was placed on the boy. Maybe this
gives the film a slightly more moralistic touch, or the target
audience was supposed to include children.</div>

What I like so much
in film noir is that there is a certain quirkiness to the motivation
of the protagonist. With Night Moves being classified as a Neo-Noir,
I thought it might be interesting to map the journey of the main
character throughout the movie.</div>

There is no dramatic irony in this film. We know exactly
what the character knows at all time. He is in every scene of the
film. But we get to know him quite a bit over the course of the story.</div>

Short description of Harry Moseby: A former football player, now working as a struggling private detective, has problems of confronting family problems. He cannot cope with his cheating wife, or talk to his estranged father. On the other hands he tries to "fix" or "break" families professionally. He only mentions his football career in terms of losing a game, so he must have been kicked out or abandoned the sport he loved.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
There are some great dialogues in the film: Paula seducing Harry. Joey and Harry talking about 'everything' but work. Many of those scenes 'unpack' Harry's past and his personality. Poignantly speaking: he is in a long analysis session.</div>

Two men in love with the same woman, but with very different backgrounds, become friends when they fly during WWI.<br />

Apart from this getting the first Oscar, there were some surprisingly well done stunts - which I think might easily hold up today. However, I read on another website that many fighter pilots were out of luck after WWI and had to make a living performing very dangerous flight acrobatics on cheap machines that they bought for a few hundred bucks from the government. In that sense, those daredevils were in abundance when the film was made.<br />
I thought it might prove interesting to look at the structure of a long silent film - Jack, the protagonist of the film, is in most scenes of the film. His two interests are David - friend and colleague pilot - and Mary - a girl that loves him, but he is in love with Sylvie, who loves David (but is only in the beginning and the end of the film).<br />
The "friendship" story and the "love" story seem to run quite in parallel. David does not play a role in a large chunk in the middle of the film, where we focus entirely on the little rom-com style encounter of Mary and Jack in Paris. <br />
Also, there are a lot of spectacular dog-fights in this movie. The audience who came for the love-story might have been quite bored by this. And vice-versa. But, never-the-less, the film was an enormous success - explained by Wikipedia with the huge amount of fascination with aviation at that particular time (1927).<br />

A supernaturally gifted boy from a Gypsy community is forced to survive in the world of crime. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The intriguing qualities of Kusturica's films I've seen is his relentless depiction of basically crazy communities. Not just agreeably potty, they're usually outright interstellar-nuts. Here, he follows the fate of the rather harmless boy Perhan, that leaves for Italy in hope of a better future for him and his loved ones.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There are some enormously interesting images in the film that kept ringing long after. The ritual in the river and the last scene in the church ruin (with a horse standing somewhere far back in the image...).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cQupiNWsbDA/VA7K5CPHx1I/AAAAAAAABtY/KwRXDZs-LM0/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-09-09-11h31m58s143.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cQupiNWsbDA/VA7K5CPHx1I/AAAAAAAABtY/KwRXDZs-LM0/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-09-09-11h31m58s143.jpg" height="176" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
After <u><b>sketchily</b></u> mapping out the scenes it is surprising how rigorously <i>three-acty</i> the screenplay is constructed. The first act seems quite long in terms of time and number of scenes, but there is also a lot of imagery spent on depicting life in this crazy universe, which makes the second part in Italy much more believable. And there is a certain 'closeness' to the world the characters live in: When a boy runs away, he is easily found, retrieved and effectively punished.<br />

The
film is quite winding and although it kept me interested I often
wandered about certain scenes and details. I am not quite a scholar on
Tarkovsky's movies so I dare not try to walk those treaded paths.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The
most memorable shot is undoubtedly the one with the main character
walking through the emptied pool, trying to bring a candle from one end
to the other. In this 8 minute (very) long tracking shot the wind blows
out the candle twice, before he can finally bring it to the other side -
and then dies. The framing starts as full shot and is narrowed to a
close up in the final moment.<br />
Questions: What does the broom mean?<br />

Another
interesting tracking shot is when Andrei visits the old man in this
ruined house. When the old man tries to accompany to the front door,
they pass through a long hall, that is visually divided by pillars into
four rooms. There are a lot of images, symbols and details in those four
rooms, something for the followers to ponder over for the next 50
years. As far as I know, Tarkovsky barely gave explanations for his
visual choices. <br />
<br />
Questions: 1+1=1? The bottle in the middle of the last room in front of
the chair? Why does he walk through the door? What's with the dog?
Stages of life? (I'm sure I can find all of these answered when I read
about the film...)<br />

<br />
I
felt the visual themes, apart from those long tracking shots that
central perspective and symmetry was used a lot There is an interesting
exception to that: the man sitting on the bed, with *no* door in the
middle of the frame. And the last shot is absolutely breathtaking -
doors on all sides.<br />

This is the first of the 'classic' Bollywood movies from the early days that I watched. There is an acceptable amount of singing, the over-the-top comedic acting and the Western-inspired morals. Most of the scenes seem to have been lifted straight out of the American films and some suspiciously simple comedy films - I suspect mostly cartoons and silent comedies.<br />

Things become more original when our two heroes settle in the village, fall in love and act so incredibly dumb that I couldn't help myself smiling. The characters are grotesque most of the time. The screenwriter came up with a very exaggerated idea for the old police officer, but it still worked nicely.<br />
<br />
There are some of the more absurd details and the situations in the film that are interesting for pointing out. They are all here for comedic relief and I was trying to find with some 'typical' comedy siutations. The humor is quite plump for modern tastes, but I wanted to see if I could find the tropes.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The director of the jail dressed up like a Hitler look-a-like, and being a total jackass. A Mel Brooks/Lubitsch kind of thing.</li>
<li>The exaggerating tale-teller meets the subjects he is bragging about. Classic, reminds me of the Bud Spencer/Terence Hill type comedy.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>The "Joker Punishment": The evil boss laughs his head off, until his failing hoodlums laugh with him, thinking that they got off the hook this time. But in a flash, the boss changes his mind and punishes his men evilly, usually killing them brutally. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</li>
<li>"Hidden Voice": One of the guys tells his love interest that she should marry him - disguising behind a religious statue and imitating a 'celestial' voice. This would be lifted from a place like cartoons. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Possibly best known for it's ending, the film has a strange pacing - I haven't seen that many Sternberg films yet, but I do remember that he seems way more interested in the inner life of the characters than in the display of any kind of action. The story is there alright, but Sternberg's transformation to the screen makes it strangely static - an effect I noticed even more in "Shanghai Gesture".<br />

Young Ivan goes on dangerous missions for the Russians behind the lines of the German Nazi army still having traces of childhood in him.<br />

<br />
As all the other Tarkovsky films this one has been discussed to death in a plethora of books, articles and possibly anywhere else. There are plenty of good analysis websites out there: Jean Paul Sartre's comments are <a href="http://people.ucalgary.ca/~tstronds/nostalghia.com/TheTopics/Sartre.html">here</a>.<br />

<br />
As I went through the movie I found a lot of three-layer deep-space compositions inside the 4:3 frame. Tarkovsky and Yusov's imagery consists of a lot of these setups. I collected a couple of them here - although there are way more during the course of the movie.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2IsV9JFopn0/U9UDzhrt0RI/AAAAAAAABnA/mEaMoJYr4B0/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-07-27-15h43m52s220.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2IsV9JFopn0/U9UDzhrt0RI/AAAAAAAABnA/mEaMoJYr4B0/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-07-27-15h43m52s220.jpg" height="153" width="200" /></a></div>
As Ivan is 'accepted' by his fellow comrades, he drinks from a glass. All their gazes focus on the center of the picture. It seems a classical deep setup in three layers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1lf4JL6qSEk/U9UDzkYjWWI/AAAAAAAABmU/0x4gF-n9y40/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-07-27-15h44m01s59.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1lf4JL6qSEk/U9UDzkYjWWI/AAAAAAAABmU/0x4gF-n9y40/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-07-27-15h44m01s59.jpg" height="153" width="200" /></a></div>
Here there is the commander trying to prevent Ivan from going back behind the lines. The composition is more extreme, with the foreground cut off and the space between the kid and the commander much farther.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GvxOo-iivvc/U9UD0Om7JXI/AAAAAAAABmg/f8ev2NdIUes/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-07-27-15h44m29s93.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GvxOo-iivvc/U9UD0Om7JXI/AAAAAAAABmg/f8ev2NdIUes/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-07-27-15h44m29s93.jpg" height="153" width="200" />I</a></div>
The nurse Masha is courted by an officer. The distance between the two is even bigger (we can barely recognize the man behind her). And her gaze is towards the camera, staring into an unknown distance.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-46Gv2i6D91Y/U9UD03FCbVI/AAAAAAAABmw/Oude-6cxMu0/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-07-27-15h44m55s96.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-46Gv2i6D91Y/U9UD03FCbVI/AAAAAAAABmw/Oude-6cxMu0/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-07-27-15h44m55s96.jpg" height="153" width="200" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This setup is an amazing variation. It includes the same setup, but Ivan is looking out of the picture at the man reflected in a "distant" mirror behind him. This setup brings not only distance, but even a transparent/glass wall between the two.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-USiSI1cTF6M/U9UD1cnFMwI/AAAAAAAABms/KrmjmzaawRM/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-07-27-15h45m24s120.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-USiSI1cTF6M/U9UD1cnFMwI/AAAAAAAABms/KrmjmzaawRM/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-07-27-15h45m24s120.jpg" height="153" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The two soldiers desperately await Ivan. They are in the same frame, but don't face each other and stare outside the frame.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o5b1smcz5k8/U9UD1r0kEmI/AAAAAAAABm0/hbaohWgRDzc/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-07-27-15h45m56s180.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-o5b1smcz5k8/U9UD1r0kEmI/AAAAAAAABm0/hbaohWgRDzc/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-07-27-15h45m56s180.jpg" height="153" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Masha comes to bid farewell to the two men. Here too, the distances are enormous (she mostly has her back towards the camera in this scene). It is slightly more conventional, but now the spaces between the characters have grown enormously, and even include a rail as a physical barrier between the characters.</div>

An American journalist witnesses the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge hostile regime first hand in Cambodia.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The story is gripping and interesting. It switches point of view from Schanberg's more detached perspective to Dith Pran's spectacular flight from Cambodia into a refugee camp. The film is so densely packed with atmosphere and many details that I couldn't look away for the two and a half hours. The ending is touching and doesn't feel over the top at all. I believed all the horrible events Dith Pran had to live through. (There is a brilliant young John Malkovich, too)<br />
It is also a film about Western ignorance and without being moralistic about it, the film makes a very clear point. We just don't care, after all. Even when we pretend we do.<br />
The cinematography was stunning, so was the editing. I decided to look at the first battle scene around minute 27. The Khmer are attacking and Schanberg has wants to document this for his newspaper. They arrive on site in an old hangar - ironically filled with crates of Coca-Cola bottles. I am quite amazed about how economically this was shot and edited. The master shot is a tracking shot (called H) which in its entirety lasts close to 45 seconds! <br />

Descendants is a quieter film, trying to amplify the subtleties of the luxury problems of an upper-class family in Hawaii with native forefathers. Although it has a nice story, at first I was confused by the fact that George Clooney was cast. Although he does well what he does it took me more than an hour to forget his larger-than-life persona with all the clichés that go with it. Shaylene Woodley was fantastic, had no idea she was already famous. Darn.<br />

Once I got around that, though, I could really enjoy the film. Going through the second time, I am interested in how the different stories interweave. <br />

Apart from having some desperately needed cuts to the Lawrence Olivier's version, this film has an outstanding cinematography. Compared to this version, Olivier's rendering seems a bit stiff and stuffy - despite it's own qualities. Just as with Olivier, also this Hamlet seems quite a bit too old for the part. But he works with that beautifully. I guess that as a result, some of the love scenes were shortened - as far as I can remember. Despite the amazing work and the unchained camera in many scenes, the final sword fight cannot shake its stagy-ness.<br />

But the memorable aspects of this movie for me were mostly the images of looming doom and despair. Black and white seems the perfect medium to tell this. Many images are shot out of dark hallways, into punctually lit courtyards. Fog is abundant and the camera seems to tiptop behind the actors as they stumble through this medieval labyrinth. <br />

Another spectacular pair of shots is the contrast of the dancing scene. The one - well-measured and timid - has the stiffness and rigidity of the moral compass of the times: Ophelia carefully and tempered practicing her moves in her bedroom, observed and watched.<br />
<br />

On the other hand, there is an animalistic (and probably deadly) energy in the masked dancers that move with torches in front of the camera. It is clear that their appearance foreshadows evil. There are a ton of other details that I should try to figure out in another viewing that I completely missed in this run.<br />

This is the perfect vehicle for Murray's dead-pan performance. The film starts out as a Murray being the straight man in a world populated by his more-or-less-crazy exes. Which made me root for his character to reach the goal of his mission. And the way the film is told it really seems that he manages to reach it. But a mixture of the character's personality and the circumstances (and, obviously, a sense of reality that sets in quite suddenly) render his attempt futile.<br />

In my opinion, the way Murray's character is constructed is by far the most exciting part of the film, although I enjoyed the film altogether very much. Don Johnston (!) is in his late 40s and seems to have made enough money in "computers" that he is not really concerned about work anymore. Quite possibly he has had a long row of lovers he could "afford" and quite obviously seems to have been dumped by pretty much all of them.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gkPXuTIHZVo/Uz0U7VIMNoI/AAAAAAAABfE/4Faom5mPj90/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-04-03-09h52m10s166.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gkPXuTIHZVo/Uz0U7VIMNoI/AAAAAAAABfE/4Faom5mPj90/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-04-03-09h52m10s166.jpg" height="177" width="320" /></a></div>
He seems completely incapable of displaying warmth and empathy towards his former companions and emotionally inaccessible to those of them who try to approach him. His neighbour Winston (beautifully played by right) works hard to get Johnston's motivation up, to the point where he takes over the mission completely and gets tickets and maps for his friend. The laconic Murray just wanders from waypoint to waypoint - it's only when he hopes his mission accomplished that he is able to show some enthusiasm.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yURhP1ZCV4U/Uz0U75PXUzI/AAAAAAAABfU/XY-KlKnDNss/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-04-03-09h52m15s221.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yURhP1ZCV4U/Uz0U75PXUzI/AAAAAAAABfU/XY-KlKnDNss/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-04-03-09h52m15s221.jpg" height="177" width="320" /></a></div>
The final shot of the film is a very impressive one: The camera suddenly starts to circle around Johnston. There's a very technical aspect: Murray turns 180 degrees counter-clockwise, while the camera goes around 360 degrees. The shot then lingers on for something like 10 seconds, before it is cut to the credits. Not much happening otherwise, nevertheless, it is an amazingly effective shot and for some weird reason the one that stuck with the most, long after the film was over.<br />

A disoriented young man kills another for seemingly no reason and is brought to trial.<br />
<br />
As the young man pointlessly wanders through the city what struck me most is the strong use of camera filters, drenching the houses and the other people in a very depressing dark olive-green, brownish tone. For today's standard practice of endless digital color grading the vignetting comes off as a bit heavy-handed, but although it took me a while to get used to it, no better stylistic choice could have been made. <br />

(SPOILERS) The most harrowing scene for me was the actual killing of the cab drivers. It is a long scene, drawn out by the fact, that it probably is surprisingly difficult to kill someone. The murder is premeditated, so the audience expects it. But the time it actually takes feels forever - the scene didn't make me wince or turn away, but despite the POVs and the hand camera keeps a documentary quality - which works even better dramatically.<br />
A quick look at the first three minutes of the scene:<br />

As we're in the car, the camera doesn't have a lot of options to move around. The shots in the first part are from the passengers seat, or low angle shots (which I think are very effective). When the attack starts, the camera moves to the other side and gives a bit more freedom to the framing of the strangled driver and his attacker.<br />

When I look at the editing I am quite surprised in it's straightforward approach, few fast edits and the dramaturgy of the murder moves on quite fast with the horn. The first part of the attack takes about one minute, the whole murder takes place in about 8 minutes. In a "regular" film the attacked would lose consciousness quickly and that would be the end of him. Not here: The cabbie is quite a tough cookie and he manages to put his hand on the horn. Unfortunately, he's too late for the bike rider, and the only soul that hears his car 'cry for help', is - ironically - a horse.<br />

A pensioned public employee is struggling to survive on a meager pension and tries to keep his dignity and moral values intact while his situation gets more dire by the day.<br />
<br />
Although the story takes place in a big city the film is very good at conveying the feeling that Umberto is isolated by his age and his realization that society has no use for him anymore. His landlady is quite the monster - she rules the hallway of her apartment like a bitter queen. It's quite amazing how long Umberto holds on to the apartment, his only confidante is the naive and beautiful maid, who has her share of troubles to keep her position in the household.<br />
<br />
(MANY SPOILERS) Sometimes Umberto could come off like a rather stubborn old man it's his agile little dog that keeps the viewer firmly rooted for him. At the end of the film, Umberto tries to give the dog (and his will to live) away, but even than he cannot find a suitable taker. So he decides to take the dog with him when he dies. But suddenly the little creature steps up, feeling the danger and becomes very "human" for a minute.<br />
<br />

The scene starts off with a wide pan, showing Umberto how he crosses the closed barrier and appraoches the tracks. <br />

A closeup of the tingling wires announces the arrival of the train.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Umberto stands and watches. The camera slowly tracks towards him and the music becomes louder and more dramatic. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y7MOAhuPunQ/UuTWC3sZwEI/AAAAAAAABb0/NVWiuw0sYLA/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-26-10h30m39s110.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Y7MOAhuPunQ/UuTWC3sZwEI/AAAAAAAABb0/NVWiuw0sYLA/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-26-10h30m39s110.jpg" height="242" width="320" /></a></div>
We can see the train approaching - it is still small, but coming closer very fast. <br />
<br />

His reaction is from a lower angle, making it more dramatic (and closer to the POV of the dog)<br />

A frontal close-up on the dog shows him struggling, trying to break away from the danger. <br />

At the same time as the locomotive arrives, the dog jumps to the ground and Umberto is confused enough not to throw himself in front of the train. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hABDe-xYn7s/UuTWD5nNJUI/AAAAAAAABcU/oQ7FGHK90bw/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-26-10h30m59s53.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hABDe-xYn7s/UuTWD5nNJUI/AAAAAAAABcU/oQ7FGHK90bw/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-26-10h30m59s53.jpg" height="242" width="320" /></a></div>
The train passes and in a fabulous shot, Umberto screams his dog's name through the dust. An astonishing visual moment. The world has turned dark.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Sup5agHyxs/UuTWEBhOyLI/AAAAAAAABcQ/dg7wKYfLSKs/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-26-10h31m04s107.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5Sup5agHyxs/UuTWEBhOyLI/AAAAAAAABcQ/dg7wKYfLSKs/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-26-10h31m04s107.jpg" height="242" width="320" /></a></div>
The dog stands in the sun, watching his master with something that might be described as benign scorn. Obviously, it's what we'd like to see in the dog's face, but it works extremely well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vxCRRdlpdB4/UuTWE42JPOI/AAAAAAAABcw/B3diPJE1kD8/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-26-10h31m07s134.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vxCRRdlpdB4/UuTWE42JPOI/AAAAAAAABcw/B3diPJE1kD8/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-26-10h31m07s134.jpg" height="242" width="320" /></a></div>
Umberto watches the train fade into the distance. The sun has returned.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In the same wide shot as in the beginning he returns to his dog, who waits at safe distance from the barrier. <br />

50-year old King Henry II wants to decide during a Christmas retreat which of his three sons would be his worthy successor. But his wife, his sons and the young King of France all plot against him and each other. <br />

In a sort of prequel to Shakespeare's "King John", this is one of the most amusing films I have seen in a long time. There is not much visual wizardry or storytelling through images. The stage play which is the basis of the script can still be felt in every scene. But the dialogue is full of poisonous wit and the actors seem to have had the time of their lives. O'Toole comes on incredibly forceful (I haven't seen his other King Henry film yet) and playful just the same. Hepburn is just as amazing to watch and her Oscar well deserved - the age difference between the two actors is absolutely irrelevant. It is pure joy to watch these two characters going at each others throats.<br />
<br />
The evil remarks that the players throw at each other is something to be marveled at in great detail. Some of my favorite scenes are - the aborted wedding scene, the King and Queen discussing him setting her free in their private chambers and the scene between Hopkins and Hepburn. Actually, I loved most of them.<br />

I have picked the wedding scene for trying to figure out how the balance shifts back and forth between the players.<br />

<br />
Henry II has dragged everybody to the chapel, where the bishop is waiting. He has decided that Richard (his second-eldest) should marry his mistress Alais. John is astonished because he believes that his father might prefer Richard to him. Alais is aghast and Queen Eleanor does nothing to calm her.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">ALAIS: I won't say the words! Not one of them! It makes no sense! <br />Why give me up? What do you get? What are you gaining?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />HENRY: Why, the Aquitaine, of course.</span></span><br />
<br />
Henry is completely open about his plans, which is in line how he likes to appear: straightforward, honest, and brutal. Obviously, he is scheming at something completely different with this move.<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bnZKuXzl2wk/UuQoS5UQZKI/AAAAAAAABZs/XartdrBTOSM/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-25-22h07m51s137.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bnZKuXzl2wk/UuQoS5UQZKI/AAAAAAAABZs/XartdrBTOSM/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-25-22h07m51s137.jpg" height="136" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />Richard does not agree to this, as his mother promised the Aquitaine to him. He decides that he will not marry Alais. Henry dares his son to defie him. Henry asks the King of France, Philipp, to persuade Richard to do "something".<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">RICHARD: What's that again?</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">HENRY: Your mother gets her freedom, and I get the Aquitaine. (to Eleanor) That is the proposition, isn't it? You did agree.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">RICHARD: Of course she did. I knew it. It was all pretense. I believed it all.<br /><br />ELEANOR: I meant it all. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">RICHARD: No wedding. There'll be no wedding.<br /><br />HENRY: But, my boy, look. Durham's waiting. Marry her, for my sake. It isn't much to ask. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">RICHARD: Never!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">HENRY: But I promised it to Philip. Think of my position.<br /><br />RICHARD: Damn the wedding and to hell with your position. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">HENRY: You don't dare defy me.<br /><br />RICHARD: Don't I?<br /><br />HENRY (to Philip): You're the king of France, for God's sake. Speak up. Do something.</span></span><br />
<br />
All Richard can do here is simply refuse his father's wishes. As brave and swift as he may be on the battlefield, he is no match to his father's intricate scheming. Henry obviously knows how his son would react to his plans for giving Eleanor the Aquitane.<br />

<br />
Philippe amusedly remarks that Henry has never meant to have the wedding and that his anger is staged. The two kings snarl at each other - Philippe is not impressed by Henry's blustering and leaves the chapel angrily. Richard makes fun of the "old lion".<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">RICHARD: Make a threat. Come on, frighten me. Am I? Dunce!<br /><br />PHILLIP (to Richard): He never meant to have the wedding.<br /><br />HENRY: Come again. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">PHILLIP: You're good at rage. I like the way you play it.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">HENRY: Boy, don't ever call a king a liar to his face.<br /><br />PHILLIP: I'm not a boy... to you or anyone!<br /><br />HENRY: Boy, you came here asking for a wedding or the vexin back. By God, you don't get either. It's no to both. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">PHILLIP: You have a pact with France!<br /><br />HENRY: Then damn the pact and damn France. She never marries, not while I'm alive.<br /><br />PHILLIP: Your life and never are two different times.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">HENRY: Not on my clock, boy!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">RICHARD: Listen to the lion! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">(Phillip off)</span></span><br />
<br />
It is obvious that Phillip, although hot-headed is much more versed in the scheming of a royal court. He plays it mockingly, but can easily be angered by Henry until he leaves in scorn. Henry is only "checking him out", something that he tries to make use of later in the movie.<br />

<br />
Richard makes a remark about Henry (III), Henry's oldest son who has died. This is obviously something that hurts the king, as obviously he would have been the successor to the throne (also the use of close-up). Richard threatens him that he will take the crown by force. Henry threatens Richard to be imprisoned in the castle. Richard leaves in anger.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br />RICHARD: Come on, frighten me. </span></span><br />

You'll have me once too often.<br /><br />HENRY: When? I'm 50 now. My God, boy, I'm the oldest man I know. I've got a decade on the pope. What's it to be? The broadsword when I'm ?<br /><br />RICHARD: I'm not a second son now. Your Henry lies in the vault, you know.<br /><br />HENRY: I know. I've seen him there.<br /><br />RICHARD: I'll have the crown. <br /><br />HENRY: You'll have what daddy gives you.<br /><br />RICHARD: I am next in line!<br /><br />HENRY: To nothing!<br /><br />RICHARD: Then we'll only have the broadswords now. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">HENRY: Can they hear you? Call and see who answers. You're as close to Poitiers as you'll get.<br /><br />RICHARD: You don't dare hold me prisoner. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">HENRY: Until we're all agreed John comes next, I can and will.

<br />
Richard tries to take the conflict to the physical level but Henry brushes him off. Only his remark about the king's dead eldest son seems to stir an emotional reaction from Henry. This leads him to escalate the conflict, albeit very cautiously - keeping his son as prisoner.<br />

Beat 5:</h4>

<br />
John is happy: He believes that he will be king now, as the marriage is obviously off. Geoffrey congratulates him in a very patronizing way. They both leave the room. The bishop also leaves, as there no one around to marry.<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Beat 6: </h4>
Eleanor insists on Henry kissing Alais. When he does so, to spite her, the Queen seems deeply moved and in tears. She still seems to love the king despite her intrigues and scheming. (Another use of closeup)<br />
<br />
This scene lays out all the characters in the play and their relations to each other. Henry is definitively the king of the situation, his weak point is his dead son. Eleanor is wicked but still has feelings for her husband. Phillip understands that he is supposed to play a certain part in this charade but he is too inexperienced yet to see through all of Henry's maneuvers. Richard, John and Geoffrey hope for the crown, but they are all politically and emotionally unfit to be a king. And Alais is just a pawn, naively in love with Henry.<br />
<br />
The only weak spot that I felt in this scene (but happens often in the movie), that it doesn't fundamentally change the basic relationships. At this point in time the viewer is already familiar with the characters and their situation. But after the whole wedding drama, nothing really has changed in the actual situation, except that the conflict between Richard and Henry has escalated to a physical level. For fairness, I guess that this is the whole point of the play: Lots of smoke and mirrors and politics to hide the actual need for the involved men and women - the family as a safe emotional haven.<br />

A courtlady falls in love with a man of lower social standing. As the two lovers are discovered the woman falls steeply through all social nets until she reaches rock bottom.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7fjQ-qovYTw/Ut4XHKuq8_I/AAAAAAAABY4/i3XnMLH9JDA/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-21-07h43m32s193.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7fjQ-qovYTw/Ut4XHKuq8_I/AAAAAAAABY4/i3XnMLH9JDA/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-21-07h43m32s193.jpg" height="265" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
There is no change of direction in the downward spiraling tale of the continually humiliated Oharu, no matter how hard we wish for a bit of luck for the poor woman. She rarely gets any opportunity to take a decision that might influence her fate. Nevertheless, she ends up at the bottom of the ancient Japanese society with no hope of returning to any kind of standing. The brutality of the men in her life, including her father is maddening. The only glimpse of a cynical practicality is when all the outlawed women solidarise, sharing what little resources are available to them.<br />
<br />
At one point, Oharu meets an older street musician who seems to have shared the fate of Oharu but has sunken even deeper. Although Oharu is polite to the poor lady you can still feel the importance of status to Oharu. Inside Oharu's character there seems to be a deadly combination of pride, traditional values and sheer desperation at work. It becomes clear that the woman has no chance of escaping her fate.<br />
<br />
In what way Mizoguchi's film can be seen as a critique of modern vs. traditional Japanese values I can only guess. His view is very distant and documentary-like. I had the feeling that he carefully refrained from getting the viewer too much involved, or let him feel pity, with Oharu.<br />
<br />
Mizoguchi's camera work is very fluid and the camera moves either in very long tracking shots or in slow pans. Although, on a second viewing I found that some of the camera moves can be surprisingly swift. Dialogue is rarely intercut with shot and counter-shot. Mostly, the characters change position towards the camera. A typical scene from the film would be the following.<br />
<br />
The messenger of Edo arrives - the inhabitants of the house converse at the end of a hallway, preparing to receive the honoured guest.<br />

CUT: An exhausted messenger is carried by the servants to the meeting room. The camera follows with a long sideway track. The messenger is set down comfortably and taken care of. All the characters face the camera.<br />

CUT: The messenger is in the center of the frame, as his host gets up and takes a new position. He sits in a right angle to the man. When the messenger gives a parchment scroll to the host, the camera pulls back slowly to frame the action on the floor. The frame is corrected when the host hangs up the picture on the back wall.<br />

Then the camera moves back in again, while the two actors have their backs turned to the camera, ie taking the audience's position and marveling at the painting of the woman. The messenger explains the mission.<br />

A young commander in the civil war is asked to recruit and lead the first all-black Confederate battalion into the Civil War.<br />
<br />
I am not too interested in details of the American Civil War but the film managed to stir my interest in some ways. I might want to look up the difference in treatment of the many Chinese laborers that were employed in the development of the West and what kind of legacy this particular group of people has to suffer from in contrast to the better-known fate of African-Americans.<br />
<br />
There are some interesting scenes in the film. I decide to examine the battle scene in the beginning. It introduces Broderick's character as a naive and brave but inexperienced soldier - a great choice of casting, especially in contrast to the hardened appearance of Washington. According to imdb footage was used from re-enactment groups and intercut with the staged film.<br />
<br />
Before the battle scene commences Broderick walks in row of soldiers and talks over the pictures of the gathering army, reading a letter to his mother. He introduces his character as a a young and idealistic soldier. He proudly mentions his promotion and we can quickly see his mother read the letter, then we return to the battlefield as the sun is rising.<br />
<br />
After a couple of shots of soldiers walking towards the battlefield (South from the left, North from the right) the battle scene begins without slowing the rhythm of the editing with a quick title, announcing time and place: Antietam Creek, Sept. 17, 1862.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IjLpjimvGZg/Ut1hFyeIFcI/AAAAAAAABS4/Hb6Yl6KORfc/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-20-17h43m21s252.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IjLpjimvGZg/Ut1hFyeIFcI/AAAAAAAABS4/Hb6Yl6KORfc/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-20-17h43m21s252.jpg" height="172" width="320" /></a></div>
A battalion of soldiers marches toward the enemy, a close-up shows Broderick marching proudly upfront, his sword stretched towards the enemy. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LnKwPlCb18I/Ut1hIJj-4VI/AAAAAAAABTs/TD45eS_J-Qs/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-20-17h44m13s50.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LnKwPlCb18I/Ut1hIJj-4VI/AAAAAAAABTs/TD45eS_J-Qs/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-20-17h44m13s50.jpg" height="172" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
After having established the directions, the Southerners also shoot a canon. They hit only trees - implying that the weapons must have been way less than accurate. (I have no idea about the historical state of technology). Wood showers down on Broderick's people. But nobody seems harmed and they march on.<br />
<br />
The next thread is a long row of rifles, pointed at the Union Army, ready to shoot. There is a revealing shot, where we see upfront on the Northern troops - the picture looks surprisingly empty compared to the earlier footage.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gebT2am12Ek/Ut1hHnjlJRI/AAAAAAAABTk/CDAAJTS5yhg/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-20-17h49m22s165.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gebT2am12Ek/Ut1hHnjlJRI/AAAAAAAABTk/CDAAJTS5yhg/s1600/vlcsnap-2014-01-20-17h49m22s165.jpg" height="172" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Looking over the heads of the troops as they approach the fence behind which the Confederates wait the rifles are shot at the same time, giving a rippling smoke effect. A few dead horses lie on the ground. The close battle begins.<br />
<br />
An editing technique used quite often is the jump-in. A few seconds to establish the orientation, then a zoom-in, depicting for example soldiers being shot. This keeps the editing tempo up although the actual movement of the troops is rather slow. It seems that this technique is used throughout the battle scene. Sometimes the other side is cut between the long and the close shot.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The following shows the Southern Army moving into the battlefield ground, from behind - with a wide shot and very smoky environment.<br />
<br />
Another special angle is the approaching Union as seen from over the shoulder of the Confederate riflemen. The following battle "beat" is also told in Wide-OtherSide-Close-Closer editing combination. Another pattern I notice is that the Confederates are shown in large groups shooting their rifles or firing a cannon, and the "reaction" of the Union army is appended in two or three short scenes. <br />

<br />
The first dialogue of the movie is a two-person-shot of Broderick right behind his superior - followed by a closeup of his head exploding. We see Broderick's reaction. End of Beat.<br />

The next 30 seconds depict the chaos that the army is in. The Confederates shoot and there are two or three very short scenes where the opposing soldiers die and scream in agony. Most of the shots are closing in on the soldiers and show some kind of explosion with wounded men falling to the ground.<br />
The sense of left and right is disturbed, as the riflemen are shown from the front, shooting directly into the camera, involving the viewer more.<br />

At the end of this very fast-paced sequence Broderick lies down and covers his head in panic. He realizes he's wounded. <br />

While the Northern army suffers heavy losses in many shots of confusion and disorder the main shot is slowly zooming in on Broderick as he covers his ears and closes his eyes until his image disappears in a cloud of smoke. The battle is over. The camera returns to wider shots towards the end of the battle and re-establishes the left-right order.<br />

<br />
Overall the editing on the scene is amazing and by keeping the strong sense of left-right it is clear which of the two armies is in a shot at any time. Even after repeated watching I find it hard to discern between the documentary and the staged footage. Steven Rosenblum deserved his Oscar nomination.<br />

<br />
The film pushes its one-song-theme quite extremely, the tune is repeated ad nauseam in hundreds of variations. There is a funny scene in the beginning, where the singer watches his spectators being pick-pocketed. Only when the thief tries to rob the girl that has caught the singer's fancy, he intervenes. Interestingly, the film doesn't have the kind of clean happy-end that all the music and merriment during the first half suggests.<br />

<br />
There are some interesting shots of the Parisian street that was built on soundstage, which must have been huge in scale. A very impressive camera movement introduces us to the neighborhood and it feels surprisingly real, possibly because of the fluidity of that first camera movement.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I am quite amused about how everybody seems quite opportunistic and the romantic interest behaves and is treated in a way that would send platoons of political correctness troops down the throat of a producer should he attempt anything even close to this. The woman seems to guard her sexual "cleanliness", but from the way the men behave this is only a question of time until she yields. On the other hand, the girl - freshly immigrated from Romania - throws herself at pretty much anyone that could supply her with anything above the basic needs. <br />

Kadar, E. Klos, 1965)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
During WWII a simple carpenter is given control of the disowned shop of the old Jewish lady Rosaria.<br />
<br />
The film starts out as a wonderful comedy. The quirky Tono is a simple-minded stubborn carpenter who has not much love for his fascistic brother-in-law and his nagging wife, but wants to be left alone. When his brother-in-law arranges for him to become the new head of the dry goods shop on main street, he reluctantly takes the job. But the absent-minded woman running the shop sees a new assistant in him and immediately puts him to work. Poor Tono just goes with the flow and at first everything seems to work out fine for everybody.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3Y5w0BHVrck/Urn3VPCg9YI/AAAAAAAABPs/h1rm202H0AA/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-24-21h50m16s87.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3Y5w0BHVrck/Urn3VPCg9YI/AAAAAAAABPs/h1rm202H0AA/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-24-21h50m16s87.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
But history runs its evil course and soon the harsh realities of deportation can no longer be ignored - at least by Tono. The shop lady only has a dim idea what's going on around her. As long as he can Tono tries to protect her. But at one point he sees that he can no longer keep her hidden. At this point the film turns into a haunting tragedy. The ending is a brutal consequence of what has been happening in the little village, somewhere in Czech.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I3x1PejTnwQ/Urn3abZnJPI/AAAAAAAABRQ/myM45hybDbY/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-24-21h52m16s7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I3x1PejTnwQ/Urn3abZnJPI/AAAAAAAABRQ/myM45hybDbY/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-24-21h52m16s7.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The characters in the film are mostly lovable - and I felt horrible for this wonderfully charming old woman, totally lost in her own little world. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kLIeZjcGuUo/Urn3YX0qn1I/AAAAAAAABQk/MYmalKZsPNo/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-24-21h51m22s236.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kLIeZjcGuUo/Urn3YX0qn1I/AAAAAAAABQk/MYmalKZsPNo/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-24-21h51m22s236.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The comedic part is amazingly funny and there are many small and big highlights that reminded me of the sharp humor of a Durrenmatt piece. The huge, totally absurd construction that is set up by the villagers in the middle of their town square is one example.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ar5jVNNr2wU/Urn3Zqs4fTI/AAAAAAAABQ8/1u85alEQQW4/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-24-21h51m54s39.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ar5jVNNr2wU/Urn3Zqs4fTI/AAAAAAAABQ8/1u85alEQQW4/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-24-21h51m54s39.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
When Tono gets totally drunk with his wife and her brother, he gives a spontaneous Hitler impression (in front of a uniformed fascist, but nobody seems to care too much... it's Tono, after all). The whole drinking scene is hilarious.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cLqouQuZ9so/Urn3WjIqwfI/AAAAAAAABQI/wAE_on4Nn1Q/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-24-21h49m46s44.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cLqouQuZ9so/Urn3WjIqwfI/AAAAAAAABQI/wAE_on4Nn1Q/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-24-21h49m46s44.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
And in one of the more touching moments where his character is portrayed, Tono takes his (daily?) foot bath. He pours together hot and cold water until he gets the temperature exactly right. The camera stays on him for quite a while and the absurdity of the action gets played out in full, when he has finally found the perfect temperature only to find out that he cannot get to his cigarettes on the table opposite.<br />

An ex-convict is lured into planning a big robbery of a jewelry store.<br />
<br />From a plot standpoint of view, there are many things in the film that don't add up too clearly. Some of the motivations of the characters eluded me and there are quite a few incidents that seemed a bit deus ex machina towards the end of the movie. But that doesn't matter at all, the films strange pacing and strong atmosphere sucked me in completely.<br />
<br />
Melville seems to explore the thin lines between those who break the law and the others who uphold it. There are many hints during the film that this boundary is even more blurred than one would think at the beginning. All the principals in the tale don't seem to have much choice as they stumble towards their inevitable fate. I thought it quite amusing that the police men trust each other much less than the criminals - they seem to bond immediately, no questions asked (literally).<br />
<br />
The first scene is quite captivating and it seems to play out the film's theme in full. At first there is a rather long citation, freely made up as I understand, that everybody comes around and no matter what your path has been, you will always end up in the red circle. On a first viewing this message doesn't make too much sense.<br />
<br />
Immediately, the first shot shows a traffic light, switching to red in all directions. There is an obvious graphical connection to the title of the film. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ElzzYo36zEI/Urlgp1rbA1I/AAAAAAAABOM/PSsokchp-tw/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-24-11h23m11s154.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="172" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ElzzYo36zEI/Urlgp1rbA1I/AAAAAAAABOM/PSsokchp-tw/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-24-11h23m11s154.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The camera pans around and shows a car approaching at a very high speed. It runs over the light, nearly hitting another car. We are still unsure what kind of car it is, the first idea would be of bank robbers escaping the police. Somebody in the car makes a remark about the red light, but we don't know who.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5dIaC4K1pSg/UrlgU2NnpBI/AAAAAAAABMg/gO_at_IPsok/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-02-05h43m13s203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="172" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5dIaC4K1pSg/UrlgU2NnpBI/AAAAAAAABMg/gO_at_IPsok/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-02-05h43m13s203.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
We cut inside the car. Four sinister-looking men sit in the car, the two guys in front wear trenchcoats, the men in the back suits and hats. Why do they still wear them? They two men in the back also seem more important. There doesn't seem to be much talking going on, the air is tense.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6ctTzaYj6Ck/UrlgXPc199I/AAAAAAAABNY/ygFGC1C2TeE/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-02-05h43m11s182.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="172" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6ctTzaYj6Ck/UrlgXPc199I/AAAAAAAABNY/ygFGC1C2TeE/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-02-05h43m11s182.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The camera focuses in single shots on the two men in the back. They look exactly the same in the extremely low light, we can't distinguish them except for maybe their age.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-26WKVWvNryg/UrlgVY5RKSI/AAAAAAAABM8/_gi7nySVJtQ/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-02-05h43m21s32.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="172" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-26WKVWvNryg/UrlgVY5RKSI/AAAAAAAABM8/_gi7nySVJtQ/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-02-05h43m21s32.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In the next shot, the car races past the camera. The camera pans with the car and reveals the location: it's a railway station in Marseille. It's not the main station but a smaller more on the outside of the city. The car stops with a screech.<br />

The two men from the back get out of the car. It seems that the younger man either attends or waits for the older, second man to get out. Not a word is spoken as they walk into the building. It looks like their hands are touching, but their relation remains unclear. The car leaves in a hurry and the camera follows it driving away.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The train slowly stops in the station and the two men are running towards it. It is now clear that they seem to be joined at their ankles, easily recognizable as a police officer with a convicted passenger. But it is absolutely unclear, which is which. I think, this is at the heart of the film: We are not supposed to know who's who. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The older man takes the lead, the young one behind him seems to watch him with a stern expression (but I only noticed that in the second viewing) <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VMPmMcJoTDI/UrlgYoIvvmI/AAAAAAAABOA/gbgmLNKdyvY/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-02-05h44m26s164.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="172" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VMPmMcJoTDI/UrlgYoIvvmI/AAAAAAAABOA/gbgmLNKdyvY/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-02-05h44m26s164.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
They enter a sleeping compartment and the older one nods to the younger one to take the upper bed. When he climbs up it's the first time we see the handcuffs clearly.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-srub98kCKP4/UrlgY0f-qOI/AAAAAAAABN4/Eh6Rksj_XB8/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-02-05h44m38s31.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="172" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-srub98kCKP4/UrlgY0f-qOI/AAAAAAAABN4/Eh6Rksj_XB8/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-02-05h44m38s31.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Then the older man takes out the keys and ties his side of the cuffs to the metal ladder. Finally, the relation and their respective roles are established. This whole scene takes about 2.5 minutes and there is practically no word uttered.<br />

A lonely wife of a newspaper editor falls in love with his bohemian brother.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I didn't get drawn in by the movie enough emotionally, but nevertheless I could admire the perfect direction. I will definitely rewatch this film at some point. It can be a matter of mood, sometimes. The whole film plays practically all through in a few confined rooms, with a few exceptions towards the end of the film. The ending of the film has some visually unusual choices visually of which I felt a bit uneasy.<br />
<br />
But the beginning of the movie is fascinating to study. It shows Charulata alone and we get introduced to her life and her character without barely a word.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cir1NGo9Jn0/UpuYM1C_W7I/AAAAAAAABIw/b73KnlG-99A/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-01-20h55m51s198.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cir1NGo9Jn0/UpuYM1C_W7I/AAAAAAAABIw/b73KnlG-99A/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-01-20h55m51s198.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
During the opening credits, two female hands are seen, stitching. The silk and the hand seem refined, so we can guess that this is not a poor woman in the street. Then the camera pulls back and shows Charulata on the bed. Ray uses tracking for most of these first shots, following his protagonist around the house. The whole film is full of those tracking and dolly shots, the camera seems constantly on the move, albeit sometimes only very subtle.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vUL30b91cHk/UpuYJ84yX7I/AAAAAAAABIQ/zaYtUMWe5aI/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-01-20h56m20s234.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vUL30b91cHk/UpuYJ84yX7I/AAAAAAAABIQ/zaYtUMWe5aI/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-01-20h56m20s234.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Charulata calls for Brojo with the voice of a mistress and with routine anger. The camera follows her to the staircase and tracks back again, when she walks towards the camera. It introduces not only the servant, but the architecture of the yard. Charulata lives on the first floor and a balcony surrounds the courtyard.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jE7oDx2uPxE/UpuYKXuBCnI/AAAAAAAABIg/gdsPbmYDR6g/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-01-20h57m47s86.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jE7oDx2uPxE/UpuYKXuBCnI/AAAAAAAABIg/gdsPbmYDR6g/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-01-20h57m47s86.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />She returns to her room and throws the finished broidery on the bed, maybe slightly annoyed or bored. She then grabs a book from the bed and pages through it. She seems to know the contents well, but she grabs it and walks off.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The camera follows Charulata walking through the courtyard, where she passes through her door, possibly separating her private quarters from the rest of the house. This part of the house seems more lavishly decorated. She must be very well off.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She enters a beautifully furnished and ornamental room and opens a cabinet to the right of the camera. Very carefully, she puts her back into the shelf. The way she touches the different books it is obvious that she really likes books, at least these books here. Searching for a bit, she selects another book. We guess, that she must have read them all. This is the first time that the camera doesn't move. <br />

Slightly bored, she studies the book in her hands, when she notices a drumming coming from outside. Humming, and reading a passage from the book, she slowly walks to the next room. The camera follows her from the back, as she strides towards the window blinds in the next room. She looks out and something catches her attention. Excited, she runs off, back to her room.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She grabs a little opera glass from a drawer and rushes back to the window with it. There is quite a long take of her walking across the balcony, but it's focused really close on the opera glass.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FIMoybPtYf0/UpuYTN7dEXI/AAAAAAAABLE/doirn0nvwmU/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-01-21h00m17s49.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FIMoybPtYf0/UpuYTN7dEXI/AAAAAAAABLE/doirn0nvwmU/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-01-21h00m17s49.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

She looks through the glasses and sees a street beggar/musician with monkeys on a leash. At this point it is clear, that she is a sort of prisoner benevolently held in a kind of a golden cage. <br />
<br />
The whole introduction takes approximately 9 minutes, and gives all the information needed to understand some of Charulata's problems. She is an intelligent, refined and possibly active woman, but she is not free to do what she wants.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e72j_oybhOM/Upud7g8yMII/AAAAAAAABL8/leBkjleaa3E/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-01-21h36m21s181.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-e72j_oybhOM/Upud7g8yMII/AAAAAAAABL8/leBkjleaa3E/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-01-21h36m21s181.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
When Charulata is bored of watching people through the opera glass, she hears something from the courtyard. When she steps out onto the balcony, a man, reading a book passes her, completely ignoring her. The way she looks at him it is quite clear that this must be her husband or somebody close. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1g3d0XmhQfI/UpueIKKBe9I/AAAAAAAABME/3FVxXnZYgaU/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-12-01-21h37m31s109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1g3d0XmhQfI/UpueIKKBe9I/AAAAAAAABME/3FVxXnZYgaU/s320/vlcsnap-2013-12-01-21h37m31s109.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
With an air of rebellion she watches him through the opera glass, too. He seems just as distant as the outside world, although he is inside the house. Charulata's problem has been clearly stated. <br />
<br />

Young city dwellers enjoy their Sunday off by taking a trip to the countryside on the quest for romance and relaxation.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gVTs5zgJNWE/Upixvgak6DI/AAAAAAAABHE/ks_imTj49t0/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-11-28-09h38m32s87.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gVTs5zgJNWE/Upixvgak6DI/AAAAAAAABHE/ks_imTj49t0/s320/vlcsnap-2013-11-28-09h38m32s87.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Apart from the superstar-studded cast of emerging filmmakers (Siodmaks, Ulmer, Billy Wilder, Zinnemann) behind this project, there are also many astounding discoveries one can make about Berlin. In an astounding way, this film is timeless. The careless joie-de-vivre in Berlin is just as tangible today as it is in this pre-war film. Would this film be re-made, there are barely anything that would need change.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D2grQ5D6FaI/UpixwPG5t_I/AAAAAAAABHk/I8wxlaHRcmM/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-11-28-09h43m51s195.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-D2grQ5D6FaI/UpixwPG5t_I/AAAAAAAABHk/I8wxlaHRcmM/s320/vlcsnap-2013-11-28-09h43m51s195.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Due to the use of non-actors the makers kept a careful distance to their subjects. They don't ask them to do much or complicated things (a kiss, maybe). This inner distance gives the film its documentary touch which at points nearly drowns the story. This seems intended as the charming little tale is intercut many times with documentary footage of normal people, enjoying their Sunday on the outskirts of Berlin.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--diwIUc1zh4/UpixvtmOMqI/AAAAAAAABHc/EFQodn37vX8/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-11-28-09h41m24s3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--diwIUc1zh4/UpixvtmOMqI/AAAAAAAABHc/EFQodn37vX8/s320/vlcsnap-2013-11-28-09h41m24s3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
What surprised me was the open-minded approach to casual sex in the story, which I guess must have been quite bold at the time. But the lightness of the whole film makes this just a random happening amongst many events just as important, like lying in the grass or watching the clouds.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H7C1UwDBg48/UpixvvzZMqI/AAAAAAAABHU/0-5hqmT6RPk/s1600/vlcsnap-2013-11-28-09h41m45s207.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H7C1UwDBg48/UpixvvzZMqI/AAAAAAAABHU/0-5hqmT6RPk/s320/vlcsnap-2013-11-28-09h41m45s207.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The beauty of the many close-ups in the film is remarkable. They are mostly portraits of regular people, but they all seem to be inhabited by an easiness that has been wonderfully captured on film. I found myself immediately familiar with those happy inhabitants of a blooming city at the end of the 1920s.<br />

This highly personal movie is very touching and manages to avoid all the pitfalls of being overly emotional. Music and editing are very subdued and carefully used to underline situations. This makes the story ring true (which it was) and gives the viewer good time to settle into the universe that these kids live in.<br />

There are many quite complicated scenes and I was interested in one particular: When Jean gets invited on parent's day by the mother of his new best friend into a posh restaurant. In that very restaurant there are Nazis at one side of the room and an elderly Jew sitting on the other side. The table of the family is right inbetween. Many things about France during the war are told during this scene, I'll just try and focus on camera placement.<br />

<br />
The focus shifts twice in the scene: From the family table to the French Jew's table (who I have been told wears the red dot, which means he is a member of the French Legion of Honor) and then again to the Nazi's table on the other side. The elegance with which this setup was solved is quite impressive. The waiter starts and ends the scene, giving light and pouring wine.<br />

I've tried to construct a diagram, where the camera was placed and how it jumps unobtrusively from one table to the next. Some of the takes are incredibly long, and the closeups are pretty short and most of them are simple reactions. I didn't consider every single cut, but to get a general idea where the camera goes to introduce people and "hot spots" in the room. (animated gif)<br />
