Dark Intruder (1965)
dir. Harvey Hart
DoP: John F. Warren

Arguably the most unexpected gem in Leslie Nielsen’s filmography. Nielsen plays an occult expert solving a Lovecraftian mystery in moody gothic settings. Originally made as a pilot for a TV series.

Pedro Costa on the primary function of cinema:

"Justice is very close to cinema. Some of the best films revenge something, don’t they? Most of mankind’s stories—I mean the stories of the lower classes—either have been told wrongly or haven’t been told at all, so cinema has to step in. It is the work of people like Chaplin, Renoir, Straub, and Stroheim to avenge injustice. During the time that you spend with them during their films, they don’t just represent the avenging. They do it.

For me, the primary function of cinema is to make us feel that something isn’t right. I am quoting Buñuel and also thinking about Ozu, who is a guy that never lowered his guard. In every frame of every film of his you can see that unrest. It’s in small things. It’s barely visible. It can be just a hand shaking with an apple in it. It can be the empty space left by a departed loved one.

Films that lose sight of injustice and of fragility are useless."

Army of Shadows (1969), Jean-Pierre Melville

A hypnotic stupor of the bone-chilling and the intoxicatingly boring. Melville and his crew really were operating on a whole other level. Sparse, sinister sculpting in wartime’s time and space.

I have some time for Eggers, but Hard to Be a God (and Khrustalyov, my Car) are genuinely like nothing I have ever seen before or since in cinema. Alexei German was a sui generis genius and there will never be anyone else like him.

Edward Norton refused to be credited for playing King Baldwin IV in “Kingdom of Heaven” (2005).

He felt revealing the actor behind the mask would take away from the character’s mystery.
