Well, if you take it seriously, you can trace the FEMME FATAL archetype back to Eve in GENESIS. Her, the apple, Adam, temptation, downfall, etc... It's all there if you want it.

What's that movie at 0:55 with the 18th century aristocrat breakdancing?

Why the narrator sounds like Ridley Scott trying to make a impression of Ridley Scott ????

Verg informative! Thank you. Just one issue - to tell so much about early jazz but use non-jazz music at a distracting volume ... why? It devalues your total product.

Thank you for this series on working with actors! I've been rewatching Living in oblivion for the last twenty years at least once a year, it's such a great film.

These are powerful five minutes! Thank you for the video!

Brilliant scene! Brilliant break down. Thank you Miss Costa! H8URS.

Marlowe is a hero: he makes a mistake (helps a bad guy) then chases the truth - despite what others are doing or whether they care. At the end he corrects the mistake with justice. He may be a loser but he's no fink.

Loved these videos about Only lovers, thanks for including scenes from his other movies, you gave me the push I needed to check them out :)

Amazing!

everything he is saying about contemporary film stocks is true and important, but the final result completely fails to do anything he wanted it to do. “wanted it to look worse than movies shot on 35 back then” is absolutely insane considering what he got, there’s NO way he’s satisfied

I'm among those who LOVE nocturnal movies. This one is the ULTIMATE nocturnal, gothic film!

It’s not the resolution of the film stock. The lenses of old were just shite.

I wish this concept could've been taught better because I don’t get it.

0:45 what is the movie’s name

One of the best movies i have ever seen

Neff is not an insurance investigator. He is an insurance salesman. Keyes is the investigator.

Helpful, thank you.

Pretty sure my Professor used this video to help pick films for his syllabus. Cheers

What's the film at 0:55?

One of the best definitions! So many confusing essays, but you cut through the fog! Brilliant.

Even the combination of the ideas in the title and depiction of vampires. The philosophy of evil and fear is probably only philosophy that is comparable to vampires. Even more because they are traditionally depicted as non-humans, evil predators... Definitely disaggree with this view, which has nothing to do with director nor the movie itself

I will definitely have to restudy this, excellent video. Thank you for the time and effort to make an excellent video

That is a completely opposed idea to basic vampire archetype. It is a different perspective and some changes are inevitable, but I didn't like it

People romanticize vampires but don't understand the curse and sadness that would be walking the earth forever. This movie actually captures that.

You do not need to shoot 16mm to create that look in my opinion. I think you missed 3 steps. You can normally shoot 35mm negative but do not forget about duppositive, dupnegative, final print and this is what should be scanned to have that look, I think.

Thanks, this info makes for some good research for me as I development by next episodes, not sure either of mine so far would qualify based on your comments, so back to the drawing board! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnKVqYCagrWUi9U and 2nd effort kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZqlY4F-jpKJiNE

Counterpoint to the last guy: This movie is horse shit. It does a half assed strip down scene solely to show off Ahnald's muscles. The improvised, overlapping dialogue is more stilted than scripted stuff because the actors have been told to cross over each other's words, but have nothing to work with. The Ernest Hemingway stand in sux. The Nazi from the Blues Brothers sux. I'll put the misogyny down to the era. I have heard about this film for quite a while, and have had it for a while, but finally watched it tonight. It is terrible. I like Altman, I liked Gould in this, I liked catching all the character actors just starting out. Altman is great at giving random characters "business". But this is a bad detective movie, and a bad film. Damn, I'm disappointed.

Thomas Barnes sounds a little like Ridley Scott

The person speaking made me think of Ridley Scott at a point...thought it might be him, read the title of the video and realized it wasn't, lol...

Sorry but how does a scene from a movie - Mulholland Drive - applies as an example of bad directing and good acting? Bob is a character of the movie as is Diane (Naomi Watts). You showed the audition scene as if it was a real audition. Why? And it felt to me you decided to describe Tarantino's verbosity in a derogaotory way; which I found unnecessary. Tarantino is a master in his craft and his directing is as specific as it can be with his actors. It would be interesting seeing videos of you directing actors. This would be informative.

Also, pardon the stickler, and these are good observations, however, the occurrence of red/white/blue broadly, as a scheme, ultimately comes from Wenders, art director Kate Altman, and costume designer Birgitta Bjerke. It’s also important to note, which may not be overtly apparent to many viewers is that the US was awash in this sort of representation in the early to mid ’80s, most prominently in states like Texas. Believe it or not, you couldn’t go anywhere without seeing these schema.

Noting that WINGS OF DESIRE was not shot by the great Robby Müller but rather great old master Henri Alekan is important. Henri was in his 80s and he shot many classics, among them Jean Cocteau’s LA BELLE ET LA BETE. Henri also shot Wenders STATE OF THINGS. Tonally, WOD does not look like any of Robby’s work with Wenders. ALICE (actually in 16mm, btw), KINGS OF THE ROAD, etc., generally have a crisper aesthetic. Alekan’s work is gorgeous and WOD primary filtration was Alekan’s ancient stocking that had belonged to his grandmother, matted by his gaffer.

Your channel is so great !😮❤

4:3 is ❤

I'm interested in the term mentioned towards the end (5:53) for not showing something in it's entirety. I googled Valene and Veiling but it didn't yield any results. Was anyone else able to tell what word she used?

So modern filmstocks is too clean???

Sorry but digital video photography looks ugly. Personal preference but film looks better

Kramer vs kramer won best picture over Apocalypse now. What a joke !

I’d have gone for Techniscope (35mm 2-Perf) myself.

Isn't the New York Film Academy a scam coasting on the reputation of NYU?

The narrator's voice is irritating even with captions hard to understand.

I loved this video. It’s so hard to convince a DP that beauty isn’t necessarily the answer. If you’re telling a story that doesn’t need that, don’t force it.

The movie conveys a love of two opposites. Yet they come together with a common ground. They find the good with each other.

fantastic, thank you

THE KILLER INSIDE ME.... so dark that the 1950s Texas sun couldn't penetrate.

Great movie. Obvious, boring commentary.

Elliott did a good job as Marlowe, but for my money, Marlowe will always be Dick Powell.

thanks to Prof Horowitz.. but yet I need to tell that it should be compulsory to take articulation and diction courses for the teachers/lecturers at any level..

Anyone that knows which film is showen at 3:51?
