Ernest & Celestine is an incredible film. And it looks like a watercolor sketch in motion.

Its style was a risk, and it took time and care to get it right. We explore how it happened:

@internetarchiva Camera operator follows people on the street.

Then hooked to a pulley that takes him up the side of the building and then over the street.

Drops him off inside the cigar factory, walks to the window and hooks to another pulley outside of the building.

[DepressedBergman @DannyDrinksWine]

Remembering the legendary Spanish surrealist artist, Salvador Dalí, on his 122nd birthday!

Alfred Hitchcock on why he chose to work with Salvador Dalí in "Spellbound" (1945):

"I requested Salvador Dalí for the scene in "Spellbound" (1945) Selznick, the producer had the impression that I wanted Dali for the publicity value. It wasn't it at all. What I was after was "The vividness of dreams".

All of Dalí's work is very solid, very sharp, with very long perspectives and black shadows. Actually, I wanted the dream sequences to be shot on the back lot; Not in the studio at all. I wanted them shot in the bright sunshine, so the cameraman would be forced to what we call 'stopdown' and get a very hard image.

This was again the avoidance of the cliché, "All dreams in movies are blurred". It isn't true. Dalí was the best man for me do do the dream scene because that's what dream should be."

In 1995, Paul Verhoeven actually showed up to the Razzies in person knowing Showgirls (1995) was about to get destroyed, then casually accepted seven awards himself, including Worst Director and Worst Picture. Honestly kind of legendary behavior.

No one shoots actors aiming guns into the camera better than Michael Mann.
