The Wolf of the Wall Street
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Ex Machina
The Lobster

Ex Machina is a great movie but I wouldn't say it's original. Wolf of wall street is just a movie based on a autobiography. Great movie nonetheless.

Memento - 2000
28 days later - 2002
Pan's Labryinth - 2006 but good movie
The Grand Budapest Hotel - Never seen it
The Lobster - Good pick

The Lighthouse - Average movie

"Generally, the words “what did you shoot this on” are frowned upon around Musicbed. We’re generally a bit more interested in the ‘why’ rather than the ‘how’. But, when you look at the cinematography of The Lighthouse, it’s nearly impossible to separate the two. Its visuals are haunting, mystifying, and incredibly intentional according to cinematographer Jarin Blaschke.

He and Director Robert Eggers spent a matter of years planning this film, some of which occurred before production of The Witch. This lengthy pre-production gave them a unique advantage—to create a film that is nearly impossible to compare to anything else.

“When I watch the film, it feels like its own thing. It does vaguely take you to the past, but hopefully it’s not a mere recreation,” Jarin told us. “It’s a mix of things. It feels like the 19th century and it also feels like the 1930s. Ultimately, it has to feel like it came out of us.”

So, how do you achieve this “mix of things”? With a lot of hard work, risk, freezing rain, (very) old lenses, wizardry from Panavision, and the brightest lights that Eastern Canada has to offer."


"What kind of lenses did you use?

They’re Bausch & Lomb Baltar lenses. I tested a good number of lenses for The Witch and I got to know vintage lenses pretty well. For this, I wanted an even stronger look. I knew we needed a contrasty look and I knew we needed an orthochromatic look. So, I went to Panavision and asked for some “off-menu” options. There was a lens from 1905 and a couple other things. You hear about the Super Baltars but I didn’t know about the original Baltars, which were designed in the ’30s, which isn’t that far from the era of lenses used on something like M.

They’re the most beautiful portrait lenses I’d ever seen. Highlights with glow. Distinct, but they weren’t too heavy-handed. It wasn’t gauzy. They had a shimmery quality that really took me somewhere else. I fell in love with them."

"They were made before rotating reflex cameras. They’re made for old rackover cameras—rangefinder cameras, essentially. Panavision had to optically adjust these lenses to work with a modern film camera, which I didn’t think was possible, but Dan Sasaki did it. As far as I’m aware, they have not been used with a film camera since the reflex camera was invented."

the height (by an absolute mile imo) was the early-mid 60s.

You mean after censorship began to release its constrictor like grip on the industry? Not sure it was creativity but more the ability for artists to do what they want more often. Also the film industry was much closer to its infancy which meant less had been done. So not so difficult to do something “new/creative”.

Nah sann, nothing to do with Code.
Most of the experimental work was in Europe anyway.
The 60s is the most influential period on films, but the least influential period of Hollywood.

The film industry developed far earlier than the music industry. It was well established as a business in the 20s. The talkie industry was into adulthood in the 40s. By then it had already been through surrealism, poetic realism, italian neorealism, and was well into noir.

Probably the biggest development in originality in the 60s was french new wave, but there were also new wave movements in britain and japan for example. The likes of David Lean and Luciano Visconti were also breaking cinematographic boundaries, and alternative approaches to narrative structure taken by the likes of Resnais.

Anyone seen Maxine on Netflix.

I always thought she was victim of Huntley, just manipulated by a monster.

Let’s hope that facker dies in prison although I doubt they would ever let him out anyways.

Godzilla Minus One is now on Netflix. The best monster movie I've seen.

I said the 60s were the greatest era for originality and creativity in film making (which they are by an absolute mile), and these 2 colluded to insist that that's only because that was when they lifted the ban on nudity and swearing (which it wasn't anyway).
