Happy 71st Birthday to one of the greatest action stars, Chow Yun-Fat! [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
STALKER premiered 47 years ago today. The film’s production became almost as haunting, with cast & crew filming near polluted industrial locations later believed to have caused serious health issues for several people involved, including Andrei Tarkovsky. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
Before and after CGI in Blade Runner 2049 — a stunning look at how the film’s world was brought to life. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
Wong Kar-wai makes movies that feel emotionally impossible to shake off. There’s this aching romanticism in his filmmaking where even the quietest moments feel filled with memory, regret, and longing. Few directors capture loneliness with that much beauty. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
Éric Rohmer made filmmaking look deceptively effortless. The natural light, the quiet framing, the casual movement of people through spaces. His movies feel so light and unforced that you almost miss how carefully controlled every emotion actually is. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
For all the advances in filmmaking, this Citizen Kane (1941) shot still feels unbelievable. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
VERTIGO was released 66 years ago today. Uncredited cameraman Irmin Roberts invented the famous “zoom out and track in” shot (now called the “trombone shot”) to convey vertigo to the audience. (Via: @vashikoo) [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
Before Keanu Reeves became a Hollywood star, he worked as a reporter for CBC and covered a teddy bear convention in 1984. The footage somehow makes him even more likable. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
Stalker (1979) was filmed in a decaying Soviet industrial zone where toxic waste and contaminated water were part of the location itself. The crew spent weeks shooting in those conditions, something modern safety standards would shut down immediately. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
Mads Mikkelsen says Daniel Craig sucked at poker on Casino Royale set. “I’ve played poker since I was a kid. Everyone at the table knew how to play, except Daniel. He had no clue. He sucked. And it was worse that he beat me. At least I got the rope scene.” [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
Edward Norton’s performance in American History X (1998) remains, even after all these years, one of the most powerful in the history of cinema. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
This Coca-Cola ad was directed by David Fincher in 1993. The influence of Blade Runner (1982) and Akira (1988) is unmistakable. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
In Mamma Mia! (2008), this moment wasn’t scripted. Meryl Streep said, “I ripped open Pierce’s shirt and he was genuinely surprised,” and his reaction made it into the final cut. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
Fight Club (1999) was filmed largely in chronological order. Edward Norton adopted a near-starvation diet and avoided the sun, while Brad Pitt trained and used tanning salons, so Tyler Durden grows stronger as the narrator withers. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
One of the greatest stand-up bits ever, Rowan Atkinson as the Devil is pure genius. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
HAROLD & KUMAR ESCAPE FROM GUANTANAMO BAY was released 18 years ago. It was originally made as a direct-to-video release until the studio decided to give it a theatrical release & it ended up grossing nearly twice what the first film did. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
The Piano Teacher (2001) ends as repression turns inward, desire collapsing into self-destruction where control was always an illusion. Isabelle Huppert reportedly stayed deeply isolated during filming to maintain Erika’s psychological state. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
In The Fourth Kind (2009), the possession scene suddenly splits the screen to show “real footage,” blurring fiction and reality so convincingly that many viewers thought it was genuine. [ 网页链接 ↗ ]
