this is a great visual reference of how mark rothko’s paintings influenced michelangelo antonioni and his cinematographer carlo di palma’s use of color on RED DESERT. simply beautiful and makes me appreciate the film so much more than i used to:

Linking this clip again because this is currently what’s happening.

In the documentary on Mark Lee, Let the Wind Carry Me, Production Designer Benoit Barouh talks about a moment in this scene where the leaves start blowing in the wind. Everyone behind the camera is quiet. They know Lee is already rolling. These are the moments he looks and hopes for.

“It was like nature saying, don’t do anything. Leave it to me. I can do it better.”

Takashi Shimura as Watanabe, the bureaucrat doomed to die from cancer, in Ikiru (1952, dir. Akira Kurosawa)

“Occasionally I think of my death … then I think, how could I ever bear to take a final breath; while living a life like this, how could I leave it? There is, I feel, so much more for me to do — I keep feeling I have lived so little yet. Then I become thoughtful, but not sad. It was from such a feeling that Ikiru arose.”

-Kurosawa, quoted in Akira Kurosawa: Interviews

criterioncorner:

KURONEKO - my favorite film to be released by Criterion this month, and certainly one of their most exceptionally beautiful discs from tip-to-toe in quite some time - hits streets today. don’t blow this, america.

here’s a glimpse of Sam Smith’s most excellent menu / package design, in which he totally nails both the spooky pathos and warped satisfaction of Kaneto Shindo’s giddy little ghost story. but the only way to really appreciate what really separates the design of this Criterion release from all the rest is to hold it in your hand and watch it come to (after) life.

for a more in-depth look at Smith’s process, you should definitely check out his blog, which spells out the various stages of his Kuroneko design in fascinating detail, and literally to the letter.
