If you give five directors the same script, then THAT is where style choices come into play, because they are meant to enhance a film, not serve as the sole reason a film can be enjoyed. There are multiple films on this list that are quality films first, and then the sound, the music, the cinematography, and the editing elevate them to legendary status. The write-up for my second-favorite movie on this list largely talks about how good the editing is, because it's a positive ON TOP of a killer story. The directing and cinematography in a film is not just style. They're essential in expressing the story and ideas. A film's cinematography tells the film's story, it doesn't just enhance it. Not to say that writing isn't important in a film but to think that cinematography, editing, directing don't mean anything other than glossy accessories to a film is absurd. It's also absurd to think that the Oscars are pushing true arthouse films. They're not nominating Pedro Costa here (though they should). --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
