THE SCHOOL OF TARKOVSKY PART 11

I have stolen so much from Tarkovsky over the years... - Lars Von Trier

I admit that some of what you're about to see below is totally coincidental and forced on my part. But nevertheless - you have to admit that these comparisons do look interesting next to each other.

Notice the framing & composition of the child tilting his head towards the camera in Nostalghia next to the opening scene from Gone Girl or the placement of the dog in On The Beach Alone At Night...
The scenes in Onibaba could very well just be a coincidence but they do look similar to the scenes in Ivan’s Childhood which did come before it.
And I don’t even think it’s up for debate when it comes to the well scene in The Element Of Crime (see Lars Von Trier’s quote at the start of this piece)

Nostalghia / Gone Girl

Ivan's Childhood / Onibaba

Ivan's Childhood / The Element Of Crime

Solaris Electric Relaxation

Solaris / LK de L'Hotel Moscou

Solaris / The Addiction

Solaris / Song To Song

Nostalghia / On The Beach Alone At Night

Solaris / The Empty Box

THE CINEMA OF...



It was another great & somewhat diverse year in the "Cinema Of..." series. In an effort to save you some time, I compiled them all in to one post (click each of the images to go to the individual pieces).



















ZEBRAS IN AMERICA EPISODE 32 & 33



These last couple of episodes of Zebras In America have quite a few things in common. Not only do they both feature guests/friends of ours (Mikhail Karadimov & The Pink Smoke respectively) but both episodes are also centered around Hal Hartley to some extent (Scott has been getting acquainted with the films of Hartley over the last few weeks).

Listen as we go from my living room in Brooklyn with Mikhail (episode 32) to Parsippany New Jersey to meet celebrities & buy bootleg DVD's at the Chiller convention (episode 33).

enjoy..
