I went to a repertory screening of this and the audience was completely silent for thirty minutes.
The documentary short on the Criterion disc explains the technical decision you're describing.
The comparison to classic Hollywood is interesting but the film is doing something the studios would never have allowed.
I think the film is best seen at a specific age — it hit differently at 22 than it does at 35.
Respectfully disagree. Here's my experience: It exceeded my expectations in every way
This is the film that made me take the director seriously after two films that hadn't quite landed.
I think the performance is great but the director's contribution is the thing nobody talks about.
The argument about the male gaze as a choice is the most practically useful application of film theory here.
Lo-fi artists who are genuinely excellent musicians hiding behind texture are the best discovery in the genre.
The real tip is always in the comments
Epaminondas' use of the oblique order at Leuctra — concentrating force on one wing rather than advancing uniformly — was a tactical innovation as important as anything Alexander did.
Shoegaze and the MBV legacy tension is going to be the genre's defining challenge for the next decade.
The third act recontextualizes the first act in a way that doesn't work on summary but works completely on screen.
Can we get a FAQ that includes this? Great post
Gloomhaven's class symbols are more evocative than their names. The Eclipse is a better name than the Nightshroud.
I had the opposite experience — Nolan worked great for me
