This movie has such a beautiful cinematography 🖤

[@nuckingfuts4721]

Can't wait for 'The Northman'... I only hope Eggers carries some of the themes/atmosphere he explored in his previous films. The trailer sure looks promising!

[@CinemaLabyrinthine]

Agreed. The trailer is amazing. That movie can't come soon enough.

[@jacobchapman890]

What did you think of "the Northman"? The witchy realities are similar, but VVitch deals more with the unknown and perhaps Northman more with certainty.

[@robertglonek3320]

The scene where the father locks the children in the barn… and here we see the twins together with Black Philip sitting next to them, almost guarding them. While the eldest daughter is removed. Now we know why, they believed, while she still didn’t. GREAT.

[@turk-money]

That music escalating around 2:18.

[@busywl69]

slow burner but stunning looking film.

[@CinemaLabyrinthine]

Have you seen The Northman? What did you think?

[@busywl69]

@@CinemaLabyrinthine Another great pristine looker, but like Blade Runner 2049 it was missing something for me. Another slow burner. I still own the Northman 4k disc though just cuz I'll pop it in every now n then for the cinematography, just like 2049.

[@ML-yw4hv]

good one!

[@turk-money]

Are there any more interviews of this style involving Deakins in particular?

[@CinemaLabyrinthine]

Yes there are. He has a podcast called Team Deakins Podcast. teamdeakins.libsyn.com/

Amazing stuff here.

[@CinemaLabyrinthine]

We're glad you think so! Thanks for checking out our channel.

[@jackr_4382]

You deserve more for making these videos!

[@CinemaLabyrinthine]

Thank you so much! This is a passion project for now but we're hoping it can become something more than that. We'd like to do more discussion-based videos in the future. We'd also like to one day shoot behind the scenes videos for low budget film productions.

[@gxrsky]

couldn't agreee more. i was surprised he can't speak properly

[@hoganholo99]

I'm sure he hates it as well. It's called anxiety.
