Director's Style
In here, you can find articles I wrote about the style of various of my favourite directors (up until now I have only written about Damien Chazelle):
Damien Chazelle - The Reality of Dreams He may only be 33 years old, with only four feature films under his belt, but he has already established himself as one of the most talented directors of our generation. He was referred to as "the Millenial Auteur" by The Hollywood Reporter , and rightfully so. He has already had two films nominated for Best Picture in the Academy Awards (and, hopefully, a third one this year), having already won one Oscar for Best Directing, becoming the youngest director to ever win such recognition. He is definitely already an auteur, and, in this article, I'll be exploring what connects his films. More specifically, I'll be talking about Whiplash , La La Land , and First Man (I haven't seen Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench yet, so I can't talk about it). I want to explore what do they have in common in terms of themes, messages, and techniques, and, through that, establish what may be called the "style" of Damien C...
Wildlife - The Disintegration of a Family What is the symptom of the failure of a family? Is there a cause for this phenomenon that affects so many of us? What is the reason for the behavior of adults? What is the effect of this on the children? In Wildlife we are invited to witness the disintegration of a family in the early '60s from the point of view of the child of the family and what he has to go through in order to fend for himself in such a tense environment. This is a beautiful coming-of-age story like none other I have seen before, and it's dealt with such sensitivity by first-time-director Paul Dano, in one of the most impressive debut features of the past few years. With stunning, softly lit cinematography that both reflects so well the time period and makes the film feel modern and up-to-date and an incredible score, this is definitely a fascinating and intriguing masterpiece with some of the most interesting characters ever written. This is a reflection on ...
Some Like It Hot: (Directed by Billy Wilder; Written By Billy Wilder and I.A.L. Diamond; Starring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Joe E. Brown; 1959) The line I most associate with this film: "Well, nobody's perfect!" Marilyn Monroe is one of the most underrated actresses of all time - and this hilarious comedy completely proves it. This film is about two musicians - played by Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, in their best roles - who witness a mob hit and are forced to run away in an all-female band disguised as women. From there, hilarity ensues. With incredibly social commentaries - this is Billy Wilder after all - this is one of the best comedies that the 20th century graced us with. Monroe is absolutely incredible in it and, after watching this, it's impossible to think that she was just a dumb pretty fave - she was a victim of objectification, in a male-dominated industry and society too afraid of the power of a beautiful, intelligent, witty w...
