Rohmer

In Lists, cinema on May 26, 2008 by Hugo

Conte d’été
1. Assertive characters with powerful commitments to their principles. It gives them an aura of determination and self-confidence. Nobody is never truly vulnerable. Instead they always negotiate rationally with circumstance.
2. Thick-bottomed women. Shapely.
3. Verbalize their psychology.

On The Room Short Film

In cinema, ideas, theory on May 19, 2008 by Hugo

As I write this reworked version of my initial synopsis. As I create the short film within the short film. I am learning to at times go beyond the cinematic fabric of the thing. That is, to momentarily disregard cinematic concerns and to involve myself more deeply into the treated subject.

Because I see now that it was a mistake to thread on the cinematic fabric, to pull the story into it.

Today I see that the art emerges from the discovery of cinematic glimpses within a foreign world. My role then becomes to give birth to these images in a way in which the viewer will recognize their cinematic inheritance but also their instant newness and unseen-beforeness.

Can you film an anus?

I had this on an old tape. It turns out that it was not on the actual “Anything Goes” single but as a b-side on the Jack Frost 12”. Something about that flute.

On Rivette

In cinema on May 8, 2008 by Hugo

Jonathan Rosenbaum:

To my mind, the most radical innovation of Out 1: Spectre, because of this interest, is the effective obliteration of any distinction between “good” and “bad” acting: everything becomes potentially interesting as “behavior.”)

Jacques Rivette on “Noroit/Duelle”

The ambition of these films is to invent a new approach to film acting, where speech, pared down to essential phrases, precise formulae, would play a role of ‘poetic’ punctuation. Neither a return to silent cinema nor pantomime nor choreography: something else, where the movement of its bodies, their counterpoint and inscription in the space of the screen, will be the basis of the mise en scene.

I often amuse myself for my dressing up in nice shirt and dress pants just to see Juliet Berto in Duelle.
