Piercing. Having now seen all of his features, I believe Roemer is the ultimate family man.

a most beautiful exercise or dance in staging and dialogue. the narrative unraveling piece by piece, scene by scene, season by season in such a rhythmic and measured pace is enough to make me melt alone, but then you add in the fact that it all feels so fresh, so new—at least for kurosawa. just about everything is revealed to us, but none of it feels overly didactic, or like we’re being spoken at. kiyoshi kurosawa, even while exploring new terrains this deep into his career, is still outclassing all his “peers” and showing us that real films can still be made a quarter into the 21st century. thank you KK🙏🏾

Above all—beyond the the masterful juxtaposition of ideas, situations, and structures that encompass our characters, beyond the implementation of the Tapscott score, which reinforces the jazz ingrained into the montage, and beyond the sediment of a time-laden, lived in heart and soul that sits at the bottom of each and every performance in this film—Clark knows where to place the camera. It’s as simple as that. And not only this, but every cut reinforces this truth. On a shot-by-shot basis, the political urgency is delivered to this audience with such clarity because Clark KNOWS WHERE TO PUT THE CAMERA. Even when it moves, it’s because the setup was right to begin with, allowing each and every frame and re-frame to be as effective as it can be. This may sound simple, but it’s not. And I want to be clear, not every great director has this skill. It’s the same skill that Mambéty has, that Sembene has, that Reichardt has, that Ozu has, that Mizoguchi has, so on and so forth. I have a feel that Passing Through may change my life.

thoughts in relation: - so formally meticulous that i became even more frustrated by every film i’ve seen released this year. - throughout, the camera will shift at just the right pace and land on a new, perfectly balanced frame. everything in its right place, but nothing is forced. - all is well and all is unwell. the atmosphere created by these images is nothing short of terrifying. - whenever i hear the chime i’m slapping anyone submitting to them film festivals with ai. - happy bday kurosawa!
i don’t think nolan cares about crafting an interesting image at all. i think bro genuinely just wants to use his big camera to shoot famous people and chop it all together fast. see also:

constant, rhythmic modulation of light, color, and sound channeled through the eternally fascinating art of stained glass. holy.
when i say children deserve better art (particularly cinema) this is what i be talkin bout. if we’re being real though, this should be shown to anyone to exemplify how simple, practical lessons on western imperialism, exploitation, and oppression of africans can be shown through art before one dives deeper, before one learns more.
